| Having succeeded in partly smoking out
smoke III iecity, the Health Protec ctive As
:sociation is now ready to attend to the
Market House. Yesterday morning there
was san:enthusiastic turnout at the hprafy
parlors when smoke consumers and garbage
collectors occupied most Of the ladies' at
tention So far as the Market House is con-
cerned, it is not by hearsay that the mem-
bers know of its exceedingly disagreeable
and filthy condition. Pittsburg women are
as prone to buy their own meat and vege-
tables as to conduct the purchase OF q seal
skin coat or q pair of gloves. While market
ing they have found time to spy and Things
are not. to be moderate, even encouragsrg. a3a
body knows, have always been considered
and used as place for refuse. The conse-
quences are obnoxious to ones nose, Onen-
Sive to ones eyes and excee edingly destruc-
tive to ones garments. The assoclatlon,
too. to a man, or to woman, since IL IS
largely feminine, declares that woman m
the place of the male incumbent. A man,
they say, is wanting in those qualit1es
which are required for success in this WORK:
no one ever heard of awoman who was not.A
man looks over building, but q woman
peers into its hooks and crannies. picks her
way through dark corners and scents an
odor yards away. So the man inspector
must go, and a woman take his place II we
are to have a clean market house and keep
it SO. Concerning cleanliness in street cars
and public buildings, the Association re-
ports brisk progress. The postmaster who
was visited the other day, because of a COM
ment made in this apartment, cOurteOusiy
offers the Association all the assistance fvn it
are nee to sGaEaSTs S sas sseSs
man of the association, thinks if the people
at large aid In enforcing the rules thus made
public by the association, the work will be
greatly simplified. The conductors in the
various cable and electric lines are joining
st1nence on the street cars from the out
ward sign OF the of tobacco. Already
women can wear smart frocks in the cars
without the same fear Of defilelpent that has
governed their dressing in years past.
A PARTY Of ladies are forming what is to
be called ''The Ladies' Afternoon Concerts"
the prototype of which, it is said, exists in
Buffalo Those interested are lovers Of
music, pure and simple, who will meet to
discuss and study intelligently the
classical music writers of the past
in their lives and works. They will
also devote themselves to the
good class music of the day. Being yet en-
bryotic, it is hardly possible to scan the en-
tire scope proposed. It is sufficient to say
that the concerts deserve support and
should draw members from our cultivated
circles. OF course 1t is understood that they
have nothing professional about them, but
are simply made up Of little band Of
women who are music lovers. To-day at II
O'Clock there will be meeting for organi-
zation in Mrs. Smiths music chambers in the
Mozart Club Rooms Hostetter building,
Julia NJ Harding, Miss Kate Mcknight, Mrs.
Christian 1hmSen Mckee, Miss Elise Mercur,
Mrs. John Lyon, Miss Mamie Holmes and
Mrs. John N. Oakley.
