Abill to give married women the control of t_e_- own earnings In France has reached the stage of the second reading. As things are now If a mar- ried woman earns a dollar by taking in washing or thousands of dollars by writing a successful novel, every cent of It belongs to her husband. If she secures the money and puts it in the bank she cannot draw It out without his written consent, but he can draw It out without hers and spend it as he pleases. For fourteen years women have been working to get this law changed. The Fourth of July becomes yearly a greater ter- ror to parents who do not belong to that very larrn class of persona who trust to luck, In the care of their little ones. "We sever let our littla boy out of our sight on the Fourth of July." one mother says. "Either his father or I am with him from the time he waked until he la safe in bed once more. Once he wandered out of sight for only a few minutes, and then he got hU hand burned. The dangers of the day are too great to take any risks, and the Indifference with which the average parent regards them Is simply incon- ceivable."

"Mothers of unmarrle-i daughters who complain of the superior attractions of the young married woman ought to give heed to the superior dressing of the latter," comments an English social writer. "Many English girls of good family have extraor- dinarily little to dress on. The money all goes to their brothers in college or in expensive regiments, into \u25a0which they ought never to have been put. It Is only after she la married, ifshe succeeds- in. spit. of these disadvantages In making a good match, that the girl has money enough to dress on. and then the matchmaking movers wonder why she is so attractive."

It is difficult to ; state exactlywhen it became the fad for women of 'society to go>into trade, but Itis a fact that this interesting development lias taken jpiace within the i;ii-T two generations. It was in England that women of title first opened t-.hop. to dispose of their handiwork in the hat line, and found an eager and appreciative public ready to patronize them. Anyt-ins that was concocted under the auspices of Lady So-and-So, no matter how bizarre and crude nor how unbecoming 1 to the cus- tomer, was eagerly bonglii. After the amazement of society at this proceed- ing had somewhat abated other impoverished women with historic namestopened tea rooms, and soon managed, by clever ' catering and artistic furnJFhlnßS, to make their occupation a huge sue- ' cess, both financially and socially. Tea rooms be- came permanent institutions, where one could drop i_ *or \u25a0 cup of her own particular brewing with the certainty of meeting many friends intent on tlie same «i<l. It may have been the tales of trium^'lis which enveloped all that the aforesaid English women attempted -with a roseate halo that Influenced American girls to break loose from con- vention end seek a like independence, for when necessity arose the Misses Lawrence, daughters of Judge Lawrence, followed the example of their friends across the sea. Oddly enough, their taste also ran toward hat making, and at this they were as clever as the best French women ever dared hor.e to bo. Their toques end picture hats were built with rare chic After a period of great pros- perity thr-ir business bad grown t.. such a degree thai S partnership was formed with Miss Harmon- Brown, who in time completely absorbed the com- pany. Sh.; soon brand that there was a field for far more than the sale of hate among her wealthy customers, who often complained that only in Part* could dainty little handmade arti- cles of fine linpesSe l>e bought. Accordingly. Slits Julia Carroll was established with the Brat for the pun cf designing matinees, corset savers, petticoats of the frilllest order and just such bits of prettiness as she knew would appeal to women of her own class, who knew all about what they wanted in every detail except how it was made. In course of time Miss Carroll's clien- tele became so lar*" that s!k- had to have a place of her own. Then she branched at Into gowns of £11 descriptions. making a specialty of imported h. fines. In fact, all of these tradeswomen realize E, the importance, .f imported models, and whether m) hats or sowrc ..!\u25a0-\u25a0 th.-L- specialty they journey twice M/ a ye_r to I'aris for fashion's latest touches, spend- ing six we» ks or more oath time, putting in a few days. with friends. About the -ame time, that Miss Carroll forsook Meiety for the Eterner demands of earning money MIW Selma Schroi-der . also took up dressmaking as something more than a pastime, and her days were so filjed with fittings and dress planning among the rounr— _..-< of society matrons ana maids that the Cinderella dances, the Sands class the "Patriarchs."

There is a half acre of ground in the garden, and the young teachers, aided by somo of the big boys, spaded up every bit of this In the spring, us there was some difficulty about getting a plough- man. There are five hundred children m the school, and most of them have their turns at plant- Ing and weeding.

Women are tho tea drinkers of tho -world. Dr. Johnson and a few men Ilka him to the contrary notwithstanding . Being the tea drinkers, why' should not they be tea growers? That is what Mrs. Clara Ellsworth, of South Carolina, thinks, mid so she Is crow tea. But bo far as known Bhe Is tho only one of her sex to do It. Mrs. Ellsworth found herself a widow with three children and a SOO-acre form, and she had to rear and educate tho first by means of the second. She tried cotton, but It proved a poor staff, and sha was considering whether BBS had not better co t > town and keep a boarding; house, when she chanced to pay a visit to a tea garden. She thought It over, she consulted with her eldest boy. and finally decided that before brewing tea for ungrateful boarders she would grow It on her farm. l"or the first two years she was out of pocket. though In the second year, she says. 6he gathered and sold from her young- plants a little more than fifty pounds to the acre. But, realizing that the heaviest expense was preparing the ground and setting cut tho plants, she persevered until she had tea acres in tea. And last year, according: to her estimate, these averaged about 260 pounds of tea to the acre, and each pound brought a profit of 13 cents. "Not a large profit," she says, "but larger than I have ever been, able to nude- on cotton." Tea growing could hardly be followed by North- ern women, for tea cannoT be produced to ad- vantage where tie. temperature faila below twenty degrees. But It offers. Mrs. Ellsworth thinks. a tine opening for Southern women. "I selected loamy, fertile soil." she says, "and am careful to have the drainage perfect. Tea requires plenty of rain, and it does best In bottom lands, but It must be well drained. Once a year I prune my plants reverely to discourage their tendency to becoms trees. I don't know that the taste of the tea v.ould be Injured If the plants were allowed to grow up. but It would certainly be hard to pick t_» tea from trees. "I have little darkles to pick the tea. and It Isn't hard work for children, and there are schools for them to attend when they're not In the £ elLj After the tea is picked, it is graded, mixed. drt*B and polished. Strangely enough, tea Isn't a pleas- ant plant to work with. Not till it is dried does Its odor become nice and pungent. Before that It is rather disagreeable in smell. The tea fields aren't nearly as profitable as cotton fields, either. But they're a safer Investment for a woman farmer. With every passing year your tea plaat becomes more valuable, and requires less work. The weather doesn't seem to affect the tea plant as it does cotton, and the prices paid for tea can. be counted on not to vary much, while the prtCß- si cotton is about the most variable thing on U»S face of the globe. "I wish the United States would have a duty en tea for a few years. It needn't be a high one. Just enough to keep the cheap grades of tea out or ' the country. I am convinced that a small tax on tea is all the Southern States need to enable (Mia to auDcly the country with that commodity. HALEVY SOCIETY'S CONCERT. The Hal. vy Fffnf 1 "!

Henna Tnkennkn, a snail Jap- anese, was KlvlnK the finishing touches to a book rack which he had made and for which he had drawn the design. "Every boy originate* and draws* his design before making the thing," re- marked the teacher. "The practice that baa been In vogue in many schools of having the children spend .i lot of time at mechanical and geometric drawing without making any application of the drawing always seemed to me a waste of time. Bui when a child puts a design Into permanent. practical shape It means (something to him. Other- wise it doesn't."

Then they did the Qerman 'hopping dance.' and then they skipped out, and went away to their arithmetic, or whatever tilled the next study hour. Immediately another class of chil- dren danced In with their teacher _ and began whirling and bobbins to the music of' the Swedish '• "weaving dance." "This Is partly to take the place of gymnastics — only partly," said Dr. Mot>achlan. "We still have gymnastics, Bui gymnastics are formal and rather monotonous. - Watch tho faces of these children as they dance, and then some day note the facial expressions of a class In gymnastics. It Is certainly more diverting to do picturesque steps to music than it Is to stand In one spot and stick your right arm out three, times, and then stick your left nrm out three- times, etc. Not but that gymnastics are good, but folk dances give exercise, the development of the muscular sens©, and they give grace. And some of these children come from homes where thsre isn't much beauty or grace." The folk dnncln*?. the gardening and so on do not seem to Interfere with the book lessons of the children In the model school. In reading, mathe- matics and the other branches they seen to hold their own with * : i - • pupils in other schools. They are especially good in drawing.

Itis difficult to;state exactlywhen it became the
fad for women of'society to go>into trade, but Itisa fact that this interesting development lias takenjpiace within the i;ii-T two generations. It was inEngland that women of title first opened t-.hop. to
dispose of their handiwork in the hat line, andfound an eager and appreciative public ready to
patronize them. Anyt-ins that was concocted underthe auspices of Lady So-and-So, no matter howbizarre and crude nor how unbecoming 1 to the cus-tomer, was eagerly bonglii.

There is a half acre of ground in the garden,and the young teachers, aided by somo of the bigboys, spaded up every bit of this In the spring, usthere was some difficulty about getting a plough-man.

A TEA GROWER.Women are tho tea drinkers of tho -world. Dr.
Johnson and a few men Ilka him to the contrary
notwithstanding. Being the tea drinkers, why'
should not they be tea growers? That is whatMrs. Clara Ellsworth, of South Carolina, thinks,
mid so she Is crow tea. But bo far as knownBhe Is tho only one of her sex to do It.
Mrs. Ellsworth found herself a widow with threechildren and a SOO-acre form, and she had to rearand educate tho first by means of the second. Shetried cotton, but It proved a poor staff, and shawas considering whether BBS had not better co t>town and keep a boarding; house, when she chancedto pay a visit to a tea garden. She thought Itover, she consulted with her eldest boy. and finallydecided that before brewing tea for ungratefulboarders she would grow Iton her farm.
l"or the first two years she was out of pocket.though In the second year, she says. 6he gatheredand sold from her young- plants a littlemore thanfifty pounds to the acre. But, realizing that theheaviest expense was preparing the ground andsetting cut tho plants, she persevered until shehad tea acres in tea. And last year, according: toher estimate, these averaged about 260 pounds oftea to the acre, and each pound brought a profitof 13 cents. "Not a large profit," she says, "butlarger than Ihave ever been, able to nude- oncotton."
Tea growing could hardly be followed by North-ern women, for tea cannoT be produced to ad-vantage where tie. temperature faila below twentydegrees. But It offers. Mrs. Ellsworth thinks. atine opening for Southern women. "I selectedloamy, fertile soil." she says, "and am careful tohave the drainage perfect. Tea requires plenty ofrain, and it does best Inbottom lands, but Itmustbe well drained. Once a year Iprune my plantsreverely to discourage their tendency to becomstrees. Idon't know that the taste of the tea
v.ould be Injured If the plants were allowed togrow up. but Itwould certainly be hard to pick t_»
tea from trees."Ihave little darkles to pick the tea. and It
Isn't hard work for children, and there are schoolsfor them to attend when they're not In the £elLj
After the tea is picked, it is graded, mixed. drt*Band polished. Strangely enough, tea Isn't a pleas-
ant plant to work with. Not till it is dried doesIts odor become nice and pungent. Before that Itis rather disagreeable in smell. The tea fieldsaren't nearly as profitable as cotton fields, either.But they're a safer Investment for a womanfarmer. With every passing year your tea plaatbecomes more valuable, and requires less work.The weather doesn't seem to affect the tea plantas it does cotton, and the prices paid for tea can.be counted on not to vary much, while the prtCß-
si cotton is about the most variable thing on U»Sface of the globe."Iwish the United States would have a duty en
tea for a few years. Itneedn't be a high one. Justenough to keep the cheap grades of tea out or'
the country. Iam convinced that a small tax ontea is all the Southern States need to enable (Mia
to auDcly the country with that commodity.

"Isn't this a pretty boo<l kitchen?" asked Dr.McLachlac, pointing out the doable row of spot-less gas stoves. "The r.lils wash their dish towels,too, and wash and Iron their tablecloths whenthey have a luncheon. If you had been here allttlo earlier you'd have seen them Ironing. Canthey cook? Well, the epecimsus they *"-nd up totrie aro all right. They sent nu» boom strawberryshortcake to-day that was as Kood as any Ieverniu. A friend was Just telling me that she metthe mother of ono of our children yesterday, andthe woman said to her. "Jennie"— that's the child—'Jennie iante home and ilx.-.i some creamed pota-toes the way she does them at school, uiul theywere better than any 1 could tix.'
"la the shop a class of boys was clearing away
after an hour's work at carpentry. This shop hasbeen In operation only a short time, but a num-ber •\u25a0( finished specimens of the boys' work dec-orate the shelves. Henna Tnkennkn, a snail Jap-anese, was KlvlnK the finishing touches to a bookrack which he had made and for which he haddrawn the design. "Every boy originate* anddraws* his design before making the thing," re-marked the teacher. "The practice that baa beenIn vogue in many schools of having the childrenspend .i lot of time at mechanical and geometricdrawing without making any application of thedrawing always seemed to me a waste of time.Bui when a child puts a design Into permanent.practical shape It means (something to him. Other-wise it doesn't."Into the big assembly rooms upstairs a class of
mi..11 girls and hoys danced, two by two, theirteacher at their head. In the apace near thepiano they stopped and t>r.>k.> into a Swedish folkdance. Then they did the Qerman 'hoppingdance.' and then they skipped out, and went awayto their arithmetic, or whatever tilled the nextstudy hour. Immediately another class of chil-dren danced In with their teacher
_and began
whirling and bobbins to the music of'the Swedish '•
"weaving dance.""This Is partly to take the place of gymnastics
—only partly," said Dr. Mot>achlan. "We still havegymnastics, Bui gymnastics are formal andrather monotonous.
-Watch tho faces of these
children as they dance, and then some day notethe facial expressions of a class In gymnastics.It Is certainly more diverting to do picturesquesteps to music than it Is to stand Inone spot andstick your right arm out three, times, and thenstick your left nrm out three- times, etc. Not butthat gymnastics are good, but folk dances giveexercise, the development of the muscular sens©,and they give grace. And some of these childrencome from homes where thsre isn't much beautyor grace."
The folk dnncln*?. the gardening and so on donot seem to Interfere with the book lessons of thechildren In the model school. In reading, mathe-matics and the other branches they seen to holdtheir own with *:i- • pupils in other schools. Theyare especially good in drawing. Some of the classwork of the higher grades, hung up for exhibitionat the end of the year, showed no little originalityand excellent execution.
