Mrs. Terhune also declared that in assoca-
ton and in the forming 9f women's clubs for
mutual improvement lay the true secret Of
building upa character equal to the intel
lectual and practical demands of domestic
hfe- What kind of wife," she asked, s'can

but her trade, her clothes and herself? Empty

ness and unfnithfulness that makes hell of
homes.
Tho delegates in attendance were in no

their destined roles either us working women,
wives or voters.
The meeting at the Metropolitan Opera
house differed from a convention Of men in
several respects. The reading of papers was
carefully listened to, only an occasional hum
Of satisfaction or ripple Of applause acccntu-
ating the silence of the audience. The pre-
siding officer did not have to rap with her
gavel once to bring tho delegate from Blank
vile to order, and her pretty subordinates,
the sergeants-at-arms who clustered about
the entrance door, unlike men who hold tina
same positions, had no one to warn to quit
smoking and none to eject for drunken OBJ
streperousness. Instead, they nuttered
around to find seating accommodations for
visitors and showed themselves to be bright,
busy, cheerful and just Il little bit impressed
with the Importance of their office. In SO far
as their duties related to the preservation of
the peace they had a sinccure.

The origin of the unequal towers of the his

had studied architecture had been travelling
in Europe and been struck with similar tow
ers on church i'll England. On his return
the body of tho building in Union square was
near completion, and he drew design of the
towers, which was adopted They had beer
erected some years, and had elected much

admired had left one of its towers unfinished

and they gave it up Tho special risks Icing

weighs with the offices in the distinctions they
draw Is this, that the medical advisers can
speak with more certainty, from various

The Constructor of tho First Ocean
Steamer Still Alive.
The Savannah, vessel built ut New York
early in the year 1919, is generally spoken Of
by historians as the first steamship to cross
the ocean, but it is asserted i'll opposition to
this statement that she was not an ocean
steamer, but "a regular built full rugged
sailing ship, and that she depended more
largely upon her sails than upon her crude
paddle wheels" Accepting this criticism as
we'll founded, the honor of being the initial
predecessor of the modern ''greyhounds'' be-
longs to the Royal William, which was built
ct Quebec.
The man who superintended the construc-
ton of the Royal William is now u resident
OF Chicago. His name is James Goude, and
he enjoys excellent health, despite the fact
that he is over 81 years OF nge. Speaking Of
