Irnnr H11rnN snvs tho women,s Hotelo

JUDGE HILTON says tho Women's Hotel
enterprise is to DO abandoned as q failure. be-
cause its expenses have been 81 800 per day
above its receipts. Only fifty women have cared
to nccopt it as u home. Notwithstanding all its
con- forts and Injuries. and Mt leust five hun
drcd would have been necessary to meet its
running expenses outside the payment Of the
interest upon the cost Of its erection and fur
nishing. The reason for the apathy manifested
by women concerning this tempting homo.
planned exclusively for thom. he conceves to
have been their Discrimination TO 1.-Two apart
from mon and In such social retirement
as might be supposed to diminish their
chances of matrimony. But 1t may be
questioned whether the principal ground OF
failure was not in n misconception Of the mag
nltudc Of the class of women for whom the
Judge says this large hotel was established.
He ayers that in every detail the enterprise was
carried out rs planned by Mr. A. r. STEWART.
who looked upon II ns an institution wherein
Ono thousand working women would be made
happy and Independent" Yet when It was
opened the lowest price at which 1t accepted
bonrdcr was 81 per wcck-nt least ~ per week
above the average earnings OF the working
women " this city. Whom the necessity
for clothing. car fare washing. and other
inevitable expenses Is takcn into considcra-
ton. it must be readily apparent to every ono

attanabc ms in Judge IIIIroN's other hotel in
Saratoga. But It appears the Womens Hotel
was not intended for the shop girls hut
for Indies who earn their own living. and
who arc still so we'll or that they can
afford luxurious home Tho result seems
to demonstrate either that that class is very
limited; that its members prefer less SNOWY
homes with more familiar surroundings; that
they dislike It's rules and regulations, or that
they. like the rest of the community feeling the
pressure OF the existent hard times in the ro-
duction Of the income dcriyabc from their nc
| compshmcnts. IRE unable 10 bear the expense
Of residence in the Womcns Hotel. In some
degree each Of these notions may be correct.
| One thing tho STEWART enterprise has accom-
| plished. Is the general reduction of the prices
demanded OF working women Of the best paid
clnsscs in their boarding houses. From this
| there will probably be a reaction.
