NEW YORK, February s, 1890

NEW YORK, February s. $780,
Editor of Woman's Chronicle,
The New York City Womans Suffrage League
held its regular monthly meeting at the usual place
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Lowell, at No. 4
Lexington ayenue-on the evening of February 6.
About sixty ladies and gentlemen were present.
Mrs. Deyereaux Blake, the president, presided
very gracefully over the meeting. She is fluent
speaker, expressing herself with much ease, and
in voice and manner is the soul of gentility.
Mrs Blake has handsome face, is delicate in
appearance, and profusion of soft rings of hair,
tlnged with gray, crowns her brow. She is
falls daintily from neck and wrists well becomes
her. Mrs. Blake has been we'll known figure for
years in the woman's movement, and is most
efficient president of the New York league.
A paper on 'sWhat Women Talk About" was
read by Mrs. Corolyn Faville Ober, and discus
sion followed. Mrs. Ober appealed earnestly to
women to talk kindly and generously of each
other. Mrs. Blake thought women were not
greater gossips than men and their talk much less
harmful An elderly gentleman rose to the de-
Tense of the men and thought woman more given
to bitterness and unfairness in opinions than his
own sex.
The mooted point was not decided, but unani-
nous vote of thanks was rendered the reader. A
lady from Montana made few bright remarks in
which she said all tax paying citizens in the new
State could vote at municipal elections. 1t matters
not if the tax be on a house, wash-tub or
poodle dog-he or she could vote If the tax was
paid.
Mrs Corolyn Faville Ober and Mrs. Hardy have
established ''Ladies' Guide and Chaperon
Bureau" with office at "a Union Square. They
furnish guides for shopping and attendants to all
places of interest, art galleries, theaters concerts,
ETC. All the courteses which visitors appreciate
are extended by this bureau, and it really speaks
for its own merits The enterprisng women who
have started this branch of business are bound to
succeed.
The Woman's Political Culture Club meets
Monday evenings in the parlors of this agency,
and the ladies wrestle with the tariff and various
profound subjects which have always been pre-
sumed too deep for the feminine mental capacity.
The sterner sex are not allowed suffrage is pro-
hibited and the secret session decides govern
mental affairs to its own gentle satisfaction.
The New York woman has become taller and
simmer than ever BEFORE since the Jenness Miller
underwear reform has come in vogue The dainty
lingerie is now an affair of the past, and black
silk woven under-garments and divided skirt in
silk is the sum total of attire in feminine under
wear "Chemiloon'' is q questionable word aud
Mr.. Dana of the Sun has begun to wage war
against it, He says it is barbarous-but why is it
worse than pantaloon? He holds JenneSs Miller
responsible, and now we shall expect to hear from
her.
One Of the events of the week has been the sale
