WOMEN's RESTAURANTS.
How They Are Conducted in Lon
don and by Whom Patronized.


don and by Whom Patronized.
1t was one of the wisest of woman
philosophers who said that until her sex
ceased to be satisfied with diet of tea
and buns, complete equality between
the sexes was impossible. 1t would APP
pear that this sort of diet still satisfied
the conservative London women, to
Judge from the loyalty with which they
cling to the idea that the pastry cooks
and the confectioners are the proper and
genteel places for woman to get lunch.
Not long ago, however, the "antl-man"
party of advanced women raised the cry
that the one thing needful to the peace
and prosperity of the London woman
was restaurant devoted solely to her
use, and accordingly 1.-The Dorothy"
was established in Oxford street, and
the other in Mortimer street was started
by Mrs. Cooper Oakley, the fashionable
milliner known as Mime. Isabel"
The great point about these restau-
rants is that they serve in dainty and
refined manner an eightpeDny midday
dinner of meat and two vegetables, be-
tween the hours of IL and 3, the cheap
ness and excellence of which is appre-
ciated only by those who have tried in
cheap eating houses to see what they
could procure for that amount.
there is scale of charges for ordinary
refreshments or afternoon tea, and the
restaurants are favorite meeting places
for women coming from opposite sub
urbs to gather and chat over cup of
lea before going home from the days
shopping. Two other large restaurants
are managed by men for the use of
women, and into their beautiful dining
rooms men rarely enter, and those who
do are the gentleSt of their sex and
always under the protection of lady
friends. Women who do not really
know where to go for something to eat
instinctively drift into one of the depots
of the Aerated Bread company, where
they are sure of finding a cup of de-
liciOuS tea freshly made for each GUS
toner.
Another restaurant we'll patronized
by women is that attached to the Ma
tional School of Cookery,in Buckingham
Palace road. in the vicinity of the Vic
toria street shops so m nch patronized
by women. There one finds always an
excellent meal daintily served at a
very low price. The food is prepared
by the classes in cooking, to which the
restaurant is a valuable adjunct in
diminishing the working expenses of
the institution. A libelons feminine
writer has intimated that women avoid
ed any place where thes were waited
upon by those of their own sex, for there
is no restaurant more popular with
women than the Courts restaurant
where "neat-handed Phyllis" in white
apron, sleeves and cap and black
gown, dispenses the viands with dainty
grace. In spite of the great cry raised
by the women's restaurant founders of
the scarcity of restaurants where women
| may buy a lunch when unattended, it
would be an easier task to name the res
taurants to which woman cannot go
unattended than those in which she

as waste. This block is in turn put I'M

more smaller rings are produced.
What is LETT is again utilized, and so
on, and on, until they are down to the
smallest size possible. These rings are
used for no end of purposes. They are

They are cut in half and form curved
legs for hatrackS, They are hung from
rod and used for towel racks. They
are arranged side by side clover leaf
shape and served as tops for umbrella
stands. There is no end to the use OF

Among the new kind of tables to be
seen in the market are curious imported
examples of inlaid work. The tops, for
instance, show three or four different
varieties of wood, arranged in parallel
lengths, with a huge tulip partern, or
some other heavy figure, inlaid over
them all, in an additional four or five
color effect.
We have all seen the rustic frames
which have been used for screens, and
consist of roots and vines massed in
solid framework, and probably it was
this that gave the idea for a screen we
were recently shown.

saplings, painted dead brown liz iml-

ETIQUETTE FOR GUESTS.

Fanny parenport in "Fedor,


The presentation OF Fedora" by Fanny Dav-
export and her company at the Seattle opera
house, last night. was remarkable in many
respects. The performance was a Thoroughly
good one, and it drew to the theater as tine ana
as representative an audience as ever gathered
within the walls of the house. Within the
past few weeks Fedora has been played III
this City by Bernhardt. and with the story the
public is entirely familiar. Davenport
in the title role has a conception
entirely her own. She played the
part with deep earnestness. threw into 1t low
ing tenderness, and toned down TO some extent
the Russian ferocity with which the heroine has
always been identified by the original creator OF
the character. Davenport was exquisitely ar
tistic in the second act, when trembling De-
tween love and hate, she extracts from Ipanon
the confession that he killed Vladimir, her
former lover, and whose death she seeks to
avenge. Again Davenport reached high power
when Loris reads the letter that conveys the
intelligence of the evil that has befallen
his family through her instrumentality. Her
death scene was very powerful piece OF tragic
acting. AS the poison permeates her veins she
falls into her lovers arms, then totters to the
sofa with her face down, and finally, in the last
agony of death, she rolls over on the floor, ana
the face turned to the audience appears white as
marble in the ghastliness OF death. Her cos
tunes were marvels OF elegance. Melbourne
Mcdowell, as LOUIS, gave strong presentation
of the character. He has fine presence, SYM
pathetic voice and keen dramatic perception. He,
however, just trifie overacts. A man. however,is
apt to DO this in such part. Miss Annie Thorn
ton played in an excellent fashion the Countess
Olga, and w F. Courtleigh gave an entirely ae-
ceptable rendition of the role of Sirieux. Mr..
Frederick Mayer, as Desire, was above the aver
age. The other members OF the company were
fully capable of assisting the principals toward
presenting a very even and satisfactory per-
Torrance. The scenery was special and quite
in keeping with the entire nature OF the per-
Torrance. Tonight La Tosca will be given,
with all the splendor of its original effects.
The play itself is OF that heroic mould
that can only be Interpreted properly by awoman
like Fanny Davenport, who has been reared and
educated in the school of robust acting She
will give the play tonight in brilliant setting,
and viii beyond a doubt repeat the unnistak-
able triumph of last night. The action of the
play is in Rome and the scenery of the company
has been taken from original drawings. la
Tosca" is great play and should not be missed
by those who love intense dramatic work.

1.-The shaurhraun."

Just what will constitute popular drama is
the puzzle OF many ambitious writers of the
present day. Experience has taught both the
draInatist and theatrical manager that the fa-
vorable comments of competent critics not
sufficient alone to test the merit of piece. Not
until it is produced before the public and ad-
judged before that whimsical tribunal. public
opinion, does either the writer or the manager
feel safe. Instances can be multiplied where q
meritorious piece has been RELOCATED to the
shelf and after years OF weary waiting, been
aeain placed before the people. to be received by
them with unstinted pleasure and praise. The
fact is, public opinion is not a fixed quantity.

easily recognized force. 1t is all smiles today
and may be all tears tomorrow. Captious and
unjustly acrimonious when a fit OF the blues
seizes it, nothing VIII please and nothing will

in the good graceS OF theater-goers, which per-
force compel sympathy and success. Such is
