actions of either. Both have been received
with much cordiality among all classes of
women.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is about to

of these unique volumes, for the story SO
treated cannot be compressed into one, are
of green velvet, embroidered in gold and
silver, with a conventionalized border of
the English daisy, which grows even at the
pits brow. Inside the border is Inscribed in
a silver scroll Mrs. Burnett's monogram.
The lady who saw the work in process says
that it is nearly ready for tho binder.

bright girl graduates step forward with
their sheepskins and their health certificates
and their papers showing specimens of

honor, women are learning to stand by one
another in the discussion of questions
which the education of women is continu-
ally raising when such a project is mooted
with such degree of seriousness.
Marie Burroughs, who has cre1ted so
many of the leading roles in the Madison
square theater repertoire during the past
few years and who in private life is Mrs.
Louis Massen, is California woman whose
father and mother died before sire aspired
to stage honors and whose guardian was a
rich man still living in San Francisco, from
whom and from whose wife she received the
handsome diamonds she wore in Partners
and in "Elaine.n Miss Burroughs is rather
a cold, conventional figure on the stage, but
in a drawing room her long-lashed gray
eyes, small, dainty head and fresh color are
very attractive. Mr.. and Mrs Massen
keep house in an apartment building up
town and Mrs. Massen's special fad as
housewife is the heavy, substantial English
oak furniture of her dining room which
would do credit to a baronial household.

have fine tall, erect figures, with broad,
strong shoulders set upon well nodded busts
and waists. They wear red dogs1in gloves,
plain high hats, high collars, smooth dark
cloth habits and tiny patent leather top
boots. Once or twice this fall soft felt
hat with sweeping plume has ventured
into the bride paths, but such an innova-
