Geo. E. Temple, workman at the
Delaware Iron Works, at New Castle,

called the queen Of American society, and
no doubt she lie. Time has left but few
traces On her beautiful aristocratio counte-
nance, and the bright blue eye which
sparklsd so gayly at the white house balls
In Linc0ln's time, are as bright and kindly
now. Mrs. Kane lives in a superb mansion
on Madison avenue. she has hobby for
collecting fine paintings, a fancy for
aquariums aud craze for cats. IL is said
that she has the handsomest collection OF
cats in the world. Her beautiful NAL
tese, "Flu8," took the prize st the cat
show.
She is chief executive officer Of the new
society formed ''For the Housing and Feed
ing Of Homeless Animals, y and there is no
charity before the public which her name
does not appear in connection with.
She seems like breath from an old ro-
nance as she steps into her grand coupe
these winter mornings for her daily ride la
the park. She wears her silver hair in
puffs, as did the fashionable Of twenty
years ago, and hoopskirts Of no meager
size nOut out her quaint but picturesque cos

between nurse doaconesses and visiting

nous consent of the board of direction.
The deaconess uniform, which is sufficient
for protection and recognition in the work
and which is in conformity with
that adopted by all deaconess homes, is
worn by the probationers the second year,
but is not WORN during the first year except

the work Of the deaconessss being on the
basis Of self-sacrifics. Candidates prepar-
