Helpless Women. The conditions of feminine life among tho upper ten thousand foster and en¬ courage absolute helplessness. Few are the women who in the right sense are strong-minded their enough surroundings to breuk through aud the fetters of think and act for themselves. Most of them take kindly to the fact that they live in a moral and intellectual cart wheeled by ether’s hands, and that all their actions must be governed by a pre¬ scribed rule. They like to he waited upou bawl and foot, to be ignor¬ ant of anything and everything quite concern¬ ing the machinery of life, to be un¬ able to pack their own trunks, fold their dresses, and still less do their hair. The chances and changes of this mortal life, however, often bring about a different state of things, and it is then that these helpless women are most pro¬ foundly to be pitied. If this reverses kind suf¬ of fortune come, a woman of fers most keenly, and then, indeed, we feel sorry for tier. She has a certain knowledge languages, of accomplishment nothing that and is but has of marketable value should she need to earn money for her own support or for that of others acquaintance dependent upon her. She has much knowledge with the ways of society, but little world or and no of tho ways of the how to pilot herself through it. Of the common, every-day details of life she knows nothing, and she has seen very little of any class but her own. As often happens, ignorance, she sinks under this oppressive fearful, she becomes and, frightened and others and receiver of a dependent charity. She upou is not alto¬ a gether to blame, for class conditions have had much to do with it, but there are some who have sense enough to educate themselves in what will be of use to them should at any time all their props be taken from them. A weak, limp woman is a drag to her husband all through life, and her children fare badly, for they do not find in their mother that which they have a right to expect. The helpless woman usually under spoils her children, leaves unsatis¬ them inefficient tuition, or with factory servants, simply because, though seeing the evil, she does not bestir her¬ self to mend it. The Necessity of a Graceful Bearing. How few women know how to stand up erect and yet to preserve the slenderness of their figures and the graceful contours. This is oue of the most important of so¬ cial arts. By standing well is meaut the throwing upward and forward of the chest, flattening the back, and keeping the shoulder-blades in their proper places. Women should be “set up,” just as cadets are at West Point or Annapolis. No wo¬ men in the world carry themselves so well as birth. tho English This “setting women and drill girls is of high through by them their up” earliest child¬ gone from hood, and much of their stately beauty is due to the care their mothers take in this respect. A great deal of our English girls’ beauty lies in their proud car riage, and the delicate crectness of their head. fig¬ ures, the dainty poise of the This within aristocratic reach bearing girl, if and she carriage will hut is of any believe it, and take the pains to have it. It is but the question of constant watch¬ fulness on the part of the mother and the girl herself. Whether sitting or standing she must always preserve the graceful erect position. This system of training is also of great good. It preserves the perfection of the figure, because the mus¬ cles are ulwavs firm and well strung, aud prevents the flesh from"sinking down the waist aud hips, which is so common among women who permit easily a slouehy manner, and which is so avoided. Another habit women should avoid. In going up stairs they bend forward and contract the chest. This induces round shoulders, besides spoiling the figure and doing great injury to the heart and lungs. There are so many little things, which, if women would but cousider, will preserve their beauty a decade longer tbau it now lasts. Electricity in the Home. Prof. R. II. Thurston, in a recent ar¬ ticle, electricity gives will a graphic do in the description of what near future. He says it will break up the present factory system and enable the home worker once more aggregations to compete of on capital equal terms with great in unscru¬ pulous undoubtedly hands. Great steam engines will become generally the sources of power in large cities, and will send out the electric wire in every corner of the town, helping the sewing woman at her machine, the weaver at his pattern loom, the mechanic at liis engine lathe, giving every house the mechanical aids needed in the kitchen, the laundry, elevator, and at the same time giving light, and pos¬ sibly heat, in liberal quantity anil inten¬ sity .—Scientific American.

They talk about a woman's sphere As though it had a limit; There’s not a place in earth or heaven, There’s not a task t*mankmd given, There’s not a blessing or a woe. There’s not a whisper, yes or no, There's not a life, or death, or birth That has a feather's weight of worth, Without a woman in it. —Kate Field's Washington. QUEER SCENES IN' A COURT. The iSkowhegan correspondent of the Fairfield (Ale.) Journal gives the fol¬ lowing description of the homelike ap¬ pearance of the Maine Supreme Court room during a recent term of court; “Ladies in the gallery bring their nee¬ dlework and sit out the long hours of the session. It is interesting to watch them threading needles, tying knots, basting, occasionally pausiug to catch some portion of the evidence and again to confide in a neighbor something rela¬ tive to some newcomer, interspersed with ihe slight click of the scissors, all of which tend to impress the lookers-on with the solemnity of the occasion, and add perceptibly to the ‘homelike’ ap¬ pearance of our judicial residence.” THE RAGE FOR SIMPLICITY. Simple as the present fashions are, they have not yet reached the limit of simplicity. For next winter the skirts of gowns will he entirely plain from the waist to the hem, which may bo finished with a handsome border of em¬ broidery or applique. The bodice will also be plainer than at present, with tho exception of tho vest trimming and the sleeves. Tho ornamentation of the sleeve will bo tho distinctive feature of gowns for a year to come. AVlicre the lest of the gown will bo simplicity it¬ self, the sleeve will bo of a different stuff from tho rest cf the costume—as rich a stuff as possible—made fu 1 as now, thickly embroidered or braided, or decorated in some way from wrist to shoulder. What tho sleeve was to the costume in tho time of Queen Elizabeth, it is to be to the dress of the woman of today. Let the fashionable woman look well to her sleeve__ New York Sun, AN ANCIENT KUITTIAN QUEEN. Miss K lward3 in a recent lecture on “Queen llatasu and the Women of Ancient Egypt,’’ said Queen Hntasu was (ho daughter of Thothmcs I. of tho Thebanlmo. Very early in her childhood she marriod her oldest brother, Thothmes II. Such alliances were then common. Sho thus became possessed of tho “double crown.” After his death, in order to have retained this, she must have married her brother Thothmes 111. This she refused to do, and, after the death of Thothmes III, she reigned alone and gloriously. In the monu¬ ments of Egypt she was always repre¬ sented as a Pharonh, and was referred to in documents as “Hatnsu Ilis Majesty.” In some bas-relief she is represented as a man, with a beard tied on. She was one of the greatest builder sovereigns in Egypt, She erected on tho cast sido of the Nile a temple which has no parallel except in the temples of Chaldea. On its walls were bas-reliefs depicting tho great event of her reign—tho building and despatching of tho first exploring squadron in the world. BUTTONS TnAT WILL STICK. •‘When I get a bright idea I always want to pass it along,” said a lady, as she sat watching a young girl sewing; “do your buttons ever come off, Lsna?’ “Ever? They’re always doing it. They are ironed off, washed off and pulled off uotill I dispair. I seem to shed buttons at every step.” “Make use of these two hints when you aro sewing them on, then, and see if they make any difference. When you begin, before you lay the button on the cloth put the thread through so that tho knot will be on tho right side, that leaves it under the button and prevents it from being ironed or worn away, and thus beginning the loosen¬ ing process. “Then, before you begin sewing, lay a large pin across the button so that all your threads will go over the pin. Af¬ ter you havo finished filling tho holes with thread draw out tho pin and wind your thread round and round beneath the button. That makes a compact stem to sustain tho possiblo pulling and wear of tho buttonholo. It is no exag¬ geration to say that my buttons never come off, and I’m sure yours won’t, if you use my method of sewing.”— Chicago Times. SOME REMODELED nOUSE GOWNS. Owners of last summer’s gowns,made with around skirt and bodico gathered at the waist line, may easily alter their appearance to accord with more ad¬ vanced ideas. Pat a border—above tho hem of the skirt—of lace, ombroid ery cr velvet, cut in shape, Vandyke points upward. Have a row around the waist, points up, as a girdle; on the wrists, and a row round the neck, with the points down. If the form is rather thick-waisted omit the girdle, and have a belt of ribbon tied on one side and pointed in front like a girdle. If you have a dull black dress brighten it with full sleeves, collar and yoke of red or blue tartan surah, cut on the bias. Short-waisted people should wear a tapering V-shaped vest, rather than any yoke trimming. Wear half-worn skirts, after putting them in order, with loose blouses or fancy jacket basques, which are described elsewhere. Afternoon dresses, of old-rose cashmere, are uni¬ versally becoming, stylish and reason¬ able, as pietty shades come as low as seventy-five cents a ya-d. The round skirt has three great box plaits in the back, and the rest gathered, with three rows of black velvet ribbon asa border. The leg-o'-mutton sleeve* have three rows ot the ribbon for cuff), and piece velvet is taken for a belt ending in girdle points in front, hell by an elongated jet buckle. The bodice is without darts, the fullness is laid in tiny plaits, and has a bluntly-jointed yoke of velvet, with a turn-over frill ol old-rose silk, or white lace aa neck finish. — Ladies' Home Journal millinery oddities. Just now there i3 a rage for millinery oddities, the quaintest of which is the butlerfly bonnet, a Parisian novelty originally designed for some stage beauty. In the model the entire crown was formed of an exact reproduction of the body and wings of a butterfly in ruby velvet, the body being lined with jet of variegated tints. Along the brim failing on the hair was a dainty bor Jcr ing of ruby featherings, surmounted by a twisted diadem of velvet. These butterfly bonnets are now brought out in black, white and colored net or tulle, the gauzy wings being sprinkled with gold and crystal that glitters and shines in beauty under tho gaslight. Another fancy is a piece of wild game mounted on a wired rosette of lace, and secured to the head by means of ribbon strings. These gulls, prairie chickens aud wild ducks come from abroad, cost as much as a small poultry yard, and arc considered very smart with a tailor made suit. Leather bonnets are among the luxuries indulged in by women of means. Tacsc novelties are as hard in effect ns tho tarpaulin hat, but equally as serviceable, tho dampness of tho sea or tho mists ou land making no impres¬ sion on them. As now ordained tho votaries of fashion have the privilege, if the money, of selecting ooze leather for shoes, gloves, bonnet, card-case and pocketbook. — N. Y. World. FASHION NOTES. Gold braid is put on gray dresses and silver on brown. For a walking costume soutane cloth of military blue is very stylish. A black fan of turkey’ 3 fcatlier3 is considered chic with the most delicate evenibg toilet. Girls in bright red jackets of box cloth are scon in tho park every after¬ noon, walking or driving. If you want to seem tall and com¬ manding, carry a white parasol and wear a white hat or white aigrette. Many of the spring wraps have van dyked yokes richly wrought in silk em¬ broidery, to which cape-shaped man¬ tles are applied. Bodices and basques, finished with a side effect, whether double-breasted or la Russe, suggest the pretty rosette or bow of ribbon pinned on the shoulder or collar under the ear. There is a crazy effort on tho part of dressmakers to elongate their custom¬ ers. Since the banishmont of the bus¬ tle, there is no waist-line, and hips and belt meet in many of the ultra walking suits. It is unreasonable for a woman to ex¬ pect a walking jacket or long cloak to fit when sho sits down. The garment is a regular standing affair, and she is in great luck if it holds when she is on her feet. White toilets will be in vogue this summer; green is unquestionally la mode; brown is tho poet’s color, and tho yellsw tints, particularly baize, primrose, apricot and cameo are on the top wave of popularity. Round French waists, without darts or side bodies and shirred at the neck and waist-line, front and back, are first choice for summer fabrics and slight figures. Full leg-o’-mutton and bishop sleeves go with these bodices very ircely. Enameled jswolry is by no means out of date, but the violet, pansy, mar¬ guerite or wild rose has had its day. Now the orchid loads. There are no loss than a dozen to choose from for a lace pin, in tho heart of which a soli¬ taire of some sort is buried.
