The First Women of the Authors, CIul

The First Women of the A uthors' Club
Mrs. Burton Harrison was the guest
of Sorosis at it's last meeting, and after
she was presented to the great assembly
of women Mrs, Elizabeth Champney
told Of her first meeting with Mrs. Har.
rison on a memorable occasion. Notice
had been given by the Authors club
that meeting would be held to discuss
the question of new copyright bill
which Mrs. Champney determined to
attend. There was . pouring rain, and,
like a wise virgin, she donned water
proof and galoches and sought the place
appointed. A very much astonished
woman servant admitted her with many
repressed giggles, but when she reached
the club room she was resolved with
most cordial greeting.
Charles Dudley Warner removed he1
dripping waterproof, and W. D. Howells
took charge of her yet more dripping
umbrella, while third chivalrous gen.
tleInan well known to American readers
went down on his knees to remove the
galoches, which favor, however, the Lady
declined. Very much embarrassed and
fustered, Mrs. Champney sat down and
tried to compose herself in vain. Pres.
emily in came Mrs. Harrison, serene and
composed, sat down beside her smilingly,
and told how she had asked the amazed
servant at the door If there were any
ladies present, and was answered, Eyes
ma'am; she's up stairs" Out Of the
agitation of that days discussion Of the
copyright laws the new ball has been
formed and made. law.-New York

A Tribute to yyomen, Journalists,

''Let me give you fact about WON
en- as journalists, in my Office" said the
editor of one of the largest dailies to me
few days ago. "Five years ago en-
ployed one woman on my staff; today ]
have over twenty, and the best work
which appears in our paper is from the
pens of our women writer's. OF course
you cannot give a woman all sorts OF
commissions, but if / want a really con-
scientious piece of work done nowadays
give it TO one of our women. find,
absolutely, that they do their work more
thoroughly than do rasn."-EdWard W.

Kerosene Oil for Cleaning Straw.

Kerosene has been put to so many uses
of late that it will soon be difficult task
to say what this oil will not do. We
were rather surprised, however, to see a
thrifty maiden cleaning an old straw hat
with cloth wrung out of the oil. 1t
was an expensive braid, but had dusty
look, which the oil took away complete
ly. 1t is necessary to air articles cleaned
in this way thoroughly, not only to re-
move the odor, but to insure it against
being infammable. Just imagine the
pretty wearer of dainty hat leaning
over the lamp to look at some photo
graphs, or what not, when the apparent
ly new headgear suddenly ignites and
nothing is left to tell the tale but q
thimbleful of ashes!-New York World.

The Theatrical Season.

Thomas FL. Davis, theatrical man
ager, says: This season on the road has
been remarkable, in that the better class
of plays have received more encourage
ment than ever before. On the other
hand many of the. cheap spectacular and
operatic companies have lost money or
gone to pieces. The truth is that the
people outside of New York are becom-
ing quite as good judges Of dramatic
performances as can be found in the
metropolis, and any effort on the part of
cunning managers to humbug them
stands poor show Of success. In my
experience | find that New York is be-
coming less and less factor in the sue
cess of any dramatic production. The
time was, a few years ago, when sue
cessful run in New York decided the
fate of piece. 1t is now no longer the
New York Herald.

Birthday Rings.

Birthday rings are beginning to be the
rage among young misses all over the
country. There is pleasing sentiment
about the idea that tickles the feminine
fancy, and puts the manufacturer on his
mettle. These rings are now produced
in a profusion of beautiful styles, and
are attractively displayed in large gilt
lettered trays in the jewellers windows.
