II is said that the ladies of Amsterdam and
other cities in Holland are establishing hotels
for women travellers to which the other sex
viii not be admitted, and which are to pro-
vide graded accommodations adapted to the
means of the poorest as well as the richest,
but all equally clean, neat and homelike.
Such homehke hotels are more needed by
women travelling in this country than in
any other that is civilized on the face of the
earth. In all Others prices are graded,
women are received without question and
given such accommodation as they are able
to pay for. In England there are always
housekeepers or attendants of their own sex
whoreceive them and carefully attend to the
supply of immediate wants. Here it is diff
cult for a woman who is a stranger to obtain
admission to any hotel. Wherever she is put
she is charged the full regulation price and
may stay a week without knowing tina there
is such a person as housekeeper in existence.
In short, there is nc attempt to create a
home feeling, and that is a terrible draw
back to hotel life for a woman.
The prices, too, are to most women SIM
ply impossible. The majority of women are
dependent, therefore poor. They are or
dained to poverty and dependence by their

ways remain poor because it is so written in
the book of life, and human life could not
exist without it. 1t is very rarely, therefore,
that they can pay high prices, OF fling money
about as men do; rarely that they are able to
travel unless with their fathers or husbands
or brothers; and when they do it is with a
hundred small fears and ~anxieties born of
their limited experience, their habit of de-

know nothing of. They are laughed at for
their fears; they are sneered at for their ig-
norance of a thousand little facts and cir
cumstances which have grown out Of the
rapid changes of the past few years: they
are despised by hotel clerks and walters, who
consider their time wasted upon them, and
they have no feeling of security, which is
the first requisite to the enjoyment of peace
and comfort to a woman in this world.
All these things are better managed abroad,
perhaps because civility, courtesy, attention,
information, direction and even good man
ners can be and are separately paid for, and
are not in the proprietorial bill. Every
woman who has made even the briefest trips
abroad viii remember with gratitude the
care that was taken to provide her with
pleasant, safe quarters, the hotel ''com-
missionaries" who performed faithful service
and duty fer incredibly small sums and the
attentive consideration bestowed by 'sguardn
and official upon any woman travelling alone.

on passing the frontier: "'Now you are in

they will know just where you come from.
