THE NEW LADY. 
T HE misuse of the word “ lady ” 
has driven it into the background, 
and the abuse of che word “woman” 
has pushed it too far to the front, says 
liebecca L. Leeke in the Century. The 
word “ lady ” has come to be regarded 
as a weakling, and the class of humanity 
which it represents, has shrunk 'nto in¬ 
significance before the pretentious 
claims of the new woman. Hut the old- 
time lady has not gone away to stay ; 
she has merely stepped aside to avoid 
being run over by the wheel of the new 
woman, and will reappear when the 
dust has settled. The word “ lady ” sug¬ 
gests nobility of origin, or, at least, 
nobility of character. Both the title 
and its possessor were once regarded 
with reverent respect. A renewal of 
the popularity of the title would awaken 
a revival of the sentiment which the 
title evoked, and the time for a reaction 
in its favor is at hand. 
This is a time of wild agitation con¬ 
cerning the portion of power that be¬ 
longs to woman, as well as of wild con¬ 
jecture concerning the limits of the 
sphere within which her power is to be 
exerted. Her interpretation of her sphere 
and of her privileges distinguishes the 
woman of the new school from the lady 
of the old. The woman of the new 
school claims rights that are separate 
from the rights of man, and opposed to 
his ; the lady of the old school claimed 
no rights that were in conflict with the 
rights of man, and in defense of her 
own rights she desired the protection 
that is due to her sex from men. She 
gratefully accepted the chivalrous cour¬ 
tesy that has been shown to her in all 
ages until now. That she does not re¬ 
ceive it to the same extent now, is the 
faultof the advanced woman, who scorns 
it, who is ambitious to direct the affairs 
of state, and who, in order to gratify 
that ambition, is willing to forego, to 
some extent, the usual courtesies which 
women have hitherto expected and re¬ 
ceived. 
As a result of her advancement, her 
more unassuming sisters are obliged to 
witness a marked decline in politeness 
to women as women. The lady deplores 
the dawn of such a day, and is looking 
for a better day, which she may reason¬ 
ably hope is coming through the very 
education which the advanced woman 
is perverting to her own ends. 
In times past, the lady has been able 
to influence the affairs of men because 
she has not attempted to direct their 
affairs; in the future she can maintain 
her power only by being as well edu¬ 
cated as men are, “ by knowing the 
things that men know as well as men 
know them,” and by using her knowl¬ 
edge to supplement men’s work in the 
world, not to usurp it. When the ele¬ 
ments of the present agitation shape 
themselves into a new type of woman¬ 
hood, the characteristics of the lady 
will be stamped upon the composite, 
which will differ in its essential features 
from the type anticipated by the present 
theories of the coming woman. If the 
new type is the lady of Ruskin’s por¬ 
trayal, “ euduringly, ineorruptibly good, 
instinctively wise,” her education must 
make her so. “ She must know sciences 
to be accurate, mathematics to be logi¬ 
cal, history to be sympathetic, and lan¬ 
guages to be hospitable.” “ She must 
have the same kind of education for 
social service that man has for business 
and for professional service,” and then 
she must use it to accomplish her own 
purposes, not his. The new type will 
not be the mere housewife; the bread¬ 
winner she may be, but not the imitator 
of man, or the woman who is ambitious

to usurp his rights. She will be loyal to 
her womanhood, and as proud to retain 
the title, “lady,” as women once were to 
assume it. 
Sculpture has realized the ideal in art 
—“ to assemble into a whole the charac¬ 
teristics of different individuals, exclud¬ 
ing the unseemly.” Photography has 
interpreted the ideal in the composite 
picture. So the new education will pro¬ 
duce the new lady, the type of every¬ 
thing that is strong and sensible and in¬ 
tellectual and noble and pure in woman¬ 
hood. In her broader sphere, she will 
be the lady of the old school revised 
and improved.

Greenish gray vigoroux that matches 
the skirt made this stylish basque, the 
seams of the sleeves being piped with dark 
green satin, which also faces the lapping 
sides and rippled lower edges. Small, 
greenish shaded pearl buttons in groups 
of four are used to decorate the fronts 
and sleeves, the neck being finished with 
a smooth standing collar of green velvet. 
The basque is tight fitting with double 
bust darts, and the usual back seams to 
the waist line, below which the seams 
are sprung to give the modish ripple 
effect all around. The front laps widely.

ODDS AND ENDS. 
Exact Recipes. —A woman visiting in 
Ireland was delighted with a certain 
hot cake served at breakfast, says the 
American Kitchen Magazine. From the 
native cook of her hostess, she duly got 
the recipe : “ You must take more than 
you’d think of flour, ma’am, just what 
you’d know of butter, the slightest taste 
in life of baking powder, and the till of 
the small jug of milk.” 
A new an-ival as priestess of an up¬ 
town kitchen, was giving to her mistress 
the other day her formula for a certain 
sort of gingerbread : 
“And then comes the molasses, mum, 
recited the cook. “Ye want about three 
gullups of molasses.” 
“Gullups, Ann?” interrupted her 
wondering listener. “ What are they ?” 
“ Oh ! sure, don’t ye know, mum ? ” re¬ 
plied Ann. “ Whin molasses is running 
out of the jug, it comes in gullups like— 
them’s what I mean.” 
Pox Cheese. —My pot cheese is said to 
be very nice, and, certainly, has never 
been a failure. This is the way I make 
it: A pan of milk, as soon as it has be¬ 
come clabber—the more quickly it sours, 
the better, 1 think—is put where it will 
heat thoroughly but not boil. I usually 
put it over a kettle of boiling water, or 
on an asbestos mat, cutting through the 
clabber to let the hot whey through, so 
that it will scald as quickly as possible. 
When the curd has separated from the 
whey, I pour it into a cheesecloth bag, 
previously scalded, and let it drip for 
four or five hours. I do not let it boil, 
and do not squeeze it. When I take the 
cheese from the bag, it is quite solid, 
and I chop it tine in an earthen bowl, 
putting in salt, pepper, and a little but¬ 
ter. Then I stir in enough sweet cream 
to make it soft enough to mold, but not 
too soft to keep its shape. Instead of 
making it into balls, I heap it 'nto a 
large, decorated saucer, and press it 
down into a smooth pyramid with the 
back of a dessert spoon. I then make 
an impress upon it with the inside of the 
spoon, another overlapping that, and so 
on all ai’ound the pyramid, until it is 
prettily marked. That is how I make 
pot or cottage cheese, and mine has 
been highly commended. I have kept it 
in a cool place three or four days, but I 
think that it is best eaten within 34 
hours after making.

CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
Knowing ourselves, our world—our task so great. 
Our time so brief—'tie clear if we refuse 
The means so limited, the tools so rude 
To execute our purpose, life will fleet, 
And we shall fade, and leave our task undone. 
—Robert Browning. 
....Phillips Brooks: “A child is not 
a block of marble, to be hewn out into 
what you will; each child is a separate 
and peculiar plant, different from every 
other.” 
_IIaryot Holt Cahoon : “ I some¬ 
how think that women are ahead when 
it comes to the time of old age. There 
are few of us but can darn the family 
stockings, and sew on the family but¬ 
tons and wash the children’s faces.” 
... .Colton : “ When we are in the com¬ 
pany of sensible men, we ought to be 
doubly cautious of talking too much, 
lest we lose two good things—their good 
opinion and our own improvement; for 
what we have to say we know, but what 
they have to say we know not.” 
Dr. 1‘arkuurstin Ladies’ Home Jour¬ 
nal : “ There are styles of education 
that disqualify the student for doing 
what he is competent to do, without 
qualifying him to do that which he might 
like to do, but for which he lacks, and 
always will lack, the prerequisites.”

Points to remem¬ 
ber in the selec¬ 
tion of an 
ESTEY ORGAN. 
l.-TONE. 
The tone of the Estey Organ has been 
one of the great features aiding its in¬ 
troduction. It satisfies the most exacting 
critic, being of a remarkably deep, pure, 
and rich quality, with that marvelous 
“carrying ” power so essential in an in¬ 
strument used as an accompaniment to 
congregational singing. 
2-QUALITY. 
Especial praise may be given to the con¬ 
struction of an Estey Organ. Employ¬ 
ing only the first selection of all ma¬ 
terials, and using only the most skilled 
labor, employed by the day, the result 
is an instrument of the very first order of 
excellence. 
3.—POPULARITY. 
The Estey Organ enjoys the remark¬ 
able distinction of being the most popular 
organ in the world. This fact is clearly 
proved by its record of sales, which ex¬ 
ceeds in number that of any other or¬ 
gan. Before making any purchase, will 
you not send for our latest Illustrated 
Catalogue showing the new designs and 
casings of these popular instruments.
