Fire ESCAPES Needed.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
While the engineer Commissioner Of the Dis
trict is investigating and preparing his report
regarding the means of escape from the Cor
coran building in case of fire, as represented to
them by Mr.. Allan Rutherford a few days
since, allow me little space in your valuable
paper to say few words in reference to the
matter.
The building is six stories high a nd is without
fire escape pI oper in the building. True there
are TWO OstairWa4s-on on the NORTH end and one
about me nlodie but iii case of fire, say in the
elevator shaft, or any considerable fire in thai
neighuoriood. ii would be practically impossi-
PIE Tor those persons in the south end U. the
building TO escape.
There are great many occupants in the
building, including many young girls and
young men. employed principally ON the upper
noors-some OF whom work at highland in
ease OF fire, without any fire-escapes, n repeti-
tion OF the recent Cincinnati horror would be
the probable result. ! have been u witness to
sucIi heartrendinS scenes, and in the cause of
humanity appeal to- the Commissioners 10 en-
force the law and require the necessary perma-
hent hre-escapes Ia be placed on the building,

Outdoor Life for Women.


The redemption OF woman's health, am
more and more convinced, depends on their
taking to outdoor life and activities. Reading
high-class memoirs which are in every ones
hands nowadays, of the Caryles, the Sterlings
and F. d. Maurice, one is distressed to hear the
continual story of weak health, and women
who, brought face to face with the realities of
lie, immediately droop, languish and are long
time dying; If they have u house to keep and
share of the actual work, like Mrs. Craigen-
puttock aud Chelsea, they sicken mysteri-
ousiy, and their li1e is a time OF wrestling with
household affairs, alternating with refuge on
the sofa, or months in the doctors hands, in
that wretched, unimprovable state which justi-
fed the sigh OF a much-tried husband who
"wished his wife would get better, some.
thing" Have not, through the ignorance of
my day and generation, wasted life enough
In attacks of the familiar household demon
nervous .prostration, which only vanishes on
turning the patient out OF doors. Twice and
again, friends have looked pityingly on me as
good as gone, but taken out Of doors ten hours
day, as good for nothing e.se, sun and wind
wrought their spell OF healing, and health came
again: HenceiOrth no more indoor life than
must be for me, and would urge other women
70 fashion their lives SO as to spend them more
In the open air.
