I Women will take a prominent part In tho general press congress of the World's fair m the auditorium of the I bew Art building. This congress is to be composed of the actual newspaper workers, both men tmd women. At first two congresses Were designed, one for men and another for women, but the executive committee decided that press women of the country be invited to take any part m the gen eral press congress which they should flesire. It was decided also that women of the press conduct one evening session of the general congress, and m addition to this one woman be invited to address the congress at each evening session. Four morning sessions will be con ducted exclusively by women for the discussion of papers and topics peculiar ly pertinent to the practical side of the newspaper work of women. Numerotia papers will be read and discussed, the longest not to exceed 20 minutes, and at each congress there will be addresses from six to eight of the women present. These papers will be followed by brief discussions from the floor. Among the speakers invited to take part In these discussions are Lady Hen« ry Somerset, Margaret Sangates, Mrs. Eliza Putnam Heaton, Katharine Con way, Mrs. Emily Crawford, Florence Fenwick Miller, Miss Elizabeth B. Jor dan, Kate Field, Lily Hamilton French, Mme. Severan, Mme. Adaine E. Sheri dan Fry, Eliza Archard Conner, Marion Earland, Etherwin Wetherell, Mrs. Cro ly (Jennie June), Lady Jersey, Misa Caroline Pendelton, Ella PealtiS, Lilian Whiting, Elizabeth Bisland Wetmore, | Adele Cretien, Mrs. Winifield (Helen Patterson), Nancy Hewston Banks, Miss Emily Briggs (Olivia), Mary P. Nimmo, Mrs. Eva Kellogg and Mrs. Nicholson. In addition there will be addresses by Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. Hensotin. Mrs. Lydon W, Bates of Chicago is chairman of the committee on entertain ment, and entertainment has been se cured for the women on the programme during the press congress, the leading women of the city having tendered their houses during that week. Among these are Mrs. John C. Coonley, Mrs. J. Kevins Hyde and others. The local members of the National Press league have heartily promoted and assisted m bringing about this promising programme, and on one evening will give a grand reception to visiting newspaperwomen at their head quarters m the Auditorium, hotel, at which Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. Charles Hensotin will receive with the committee. Over 1,500 invitations have been is sued to this event. During the week Mrs. Hensotin will give a tea, and Mrs. Potter Palmer a reception atthe close of j the congress* , orat. ___

Tearinsg Out Paper Flowers.

A novel fad that is just now interest ing a number of young ladies of leisure { m town is that of tearing folded papei I into the shapes of flowers and curious [ and fanciful designs. It requires a strong thumb and forefinger to do the trick when I any large number of thicknesses of papei are used, but for making flowers of I simple construction no remarkable de gree of strength is necessary. Many ladies first learn the intricacies of folding the paper m a series of folds and use a pair of scissors m cutting out the various designs. After the different methods of folding have been mastered | and the designs fashioned m good shape i by means of the scissors the pupil can ' produce as satisfactory results by tear ing tlis paper and enjoy the pleasure of making a flower, a vine, delicate lace work, designs for walls and placques and countless designs of curious and artistic interest without the use of any tool what ever. For tearing purposes what is known j as the French tissue paper produces the best results. Its texture is firm enough to give a good edge for a flower and is oi i sufficient body to_ retain a natural ap pearance. . „' . .. '

Dressing For the World's Fair Trip.

Most young women who are going tc the World's fair are inclined to mak« their preparations on somewhat the j same scale that they would if they were going to a fashionable watering place. It is a gala occasion, and they want to dress accordingly. That this is a serious mistake many of them will find when it is too late to rem edy it. In most instances, after a day spent m the grounds there will be little time or strength left for social gayetiea and less occasion for elaborate costum ing. The ideal outfit for the summer is a dark colored dress of soft serge or cam el's hair. A most appropriate material is silk homespun. This ia one of the most desirable of new dress fabrics. It is absolutely fadeless, extremely light, exceptionally durable and also cool and becoming. Made with a modified bell Bkirt, a not very tight fitting waist and loose, comfortable sleeves, it ia just what is wanted^forjtn everyday hard service outfit.. ~ w -."' " j"*' t.\ ,

This monogram and also Mrs. Cleveland's cipher are cut out of silver and heavily engraved. The portfolio is Inclosed m a box of white silk lined with Batin. It is beautifullyjsxecuted and k a charming souvenir. 'Z.->. *.:.. .. *■■"
