II IL said that the ladies of Amsterdam and
other cities In Holland are establishing hotels
for women tiav elers to which the other sex
will not be admitted, and which are to pro
vide graded accommodations adapted to the
means Of tho poorest as well as the richest,
but all equally clean, neat and bomelike.
Such homelke 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 arc able
to pay for. In England there are always
housekeeper or attendants OF their own sex
wboreceive them and carefully attend to the
supply Of immediate wants. Here 1t Is diff
cult for a woman who Is q 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 hat there
Is such a person es housekeeper In existence.
In short, there IL no attempt TO create a
''hoIne' 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
conservation to motherhood, aud must al
ways remain poor because it is so written In
the o of life, and human Life could n
exist without It, 1t Is very rarely, therefore,
that they can pay high prices, or 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 q
hundred small fears and anxieties born OF
their limited experience, their habit of de-
pending upon others for direction that men
know nothing Of. They are laughed at for
their fears; they are sneered at for their ig-
norlnce of a thousand little facts and cir
c~uInstances 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
tho first requisite to the enjoyment of peace
and comfort TO n woman in this world.
All these things are better managed abroad,
perhaps because civility, courtesy, attention,
Information, direction and even good man
ners can DO and are separately paid for, and
are not in the proprietorial bill. Every
woman who has made even the briefest trips
abroad will remember with gratitude the
care that was taken 10 provide her with
pleasant, safe quarters, the hotel com
missionairesn who performed faithful service
and duty for incredibly small sums and the
attentive consideration bestowed by guard
and official upon any woman travelling alone.
Said n German Radical to an American lady
on passing the frontier: 'Now you are In
Germany. and every movement you make
will DO under tho suryeillance of the police;
they will know Just where you come from,
and where you are going to, and what your
plans are.n THANK Heavenlr replied tho
lady. Then they know moro than l do, but
1t Is a comfort to feel that somebody knows
all about me and that l shall he taken caro-
