Miss BaIfour's Irish photographs.

Miss Balfour, who was her BROTHERS
companion during his recent visit to
Ireland, brought home a series of
photographs of places and people,
taken during the tour. Miss Balfour
used to ride, and the apparatus, in
charge of a skilled photographer, was
carried by a second pony. As Don as
a subject was found, halt was called
and the picture taken. Amongst the
subjects are cabins, children. Mr.. Bal
four and his party on their outside
car, Mr.. Balfour examining potatoes
in a field, and addressing a p;ctur-

often assembled to bid him welcome.

series OF pictures will probably be
made use of for lantern slides to be
used at lectures and public meetings.

THAT PLEAsEs A WOMAN.

To her this housekeeping on wheels is
very enticing. | have seen great deal OF
il and have enjoyed it immensely. As she
orders the servants about and tells them
how and when to make the beds II seems
like being at home. Then If she is anxious
to take the responsibility she can walk out
into the kitchen and order the cook what
to get for dinner and how to get it. There
is a great privilege to an American woman
whose whole spice of life is found in being
able to boss somebody. There is only one
drawback The cook on private car
usually regards himself as master OF the
situation, and he is apt to resent any at
tempt of the mistress to direct his move
ments AS rule men cooks are very over
bearing, and the limit of assumption Is
reached when the man who handles the
gridiron is on a private car. Nevertheless,
it is a good deal there as 1t is at home, if a
woman keeps her mouth shut she gets a
good dinner, but the fact is that as rule
she would rather have bad dinner and
make a fuss about it, than TO have good
one and keep silence.

There is a great deal Of style in living in
this way while you are moving from point
to point There is a sort OF aristocratic air
about private car that is very seductive; ;
especially to one who has grown suddenly
rich and desires to illustrate that fact.
Thus the more people rapidly grew rich,
the more the demand increased for these
private houses on wheels, where one could
enjoy the comforts of hotel while speed
ing along towards a destination, all the
way from a thousand to three thousand
miles distant. There is such q good chance
to read and tell stories in these establish
ments that travel is relieved of much of its
monotony, and there is something inspiring
in taking glass of champagne and piece
OF cold chicken as lunch on a moving
train. There is a sense of authority in
being able to order what you want, when
you know that other people can not,

napkins were large, of fine texture and

Occasions like this were rare in those days,
common as they may be now to the wealthy.
Private cars are numerous On all the rail-
roads now and any man with money can
hire one for the accommodation, pleasure,
and comfort of himself and family when he
pleases. Then it was not so easy. Those
moving hostelries, well equipped in all the
higher grades of endeavor to satisfy physi-
cal wants, were not easily obtained ten
years ago. They belonged and were used
by the men who controlled and control
great railroad corporations. Lucky was
the outsider who was invited within the
sacred precincts of one Of those splendid
establishments. But now and then one
would be asked. He was usually q rich
citizen, who, in IN instant, grew ambitious
TO spend bis money by travelling like the
railroad magnate. / have always found
that rich man dislikes to see any other
person have anything that he cannot pur-
chase and enjoy. +.

same is true on the New York Central
The western men are great on this luxuri
GUS way of travelling. They are little
more inclined to STYLE not only in jewelry
and clothes, butin other directions, than
our eastern magnates. But as q rule the
cars for railroad officials are not very styl
ish affairs and are made more for comfort
and observation and to give an opportunity
for work than for anything else. My i'm
preston is, without having been intro
duced to the mysteries of railroad
officials life, that their private cars are
more intended Tor an Office on wheels than
for housekeeping, although
THEY HAVE THEIR COOK AND SERVANTS.
/. is an interesting fact that theatrical
people first introduced the craze for private
cars for the ordinary citizen. When Patti
first came to this country after the war,
she had magnificent rolling palace fitted
up as gorgeously as any suite of rooms in q
private hotel. Mrs. Langtry also had one
of these establishments, and lived In it al
most all the time she was moving from
place to place. Modieska had another. So
did number of players of less note. But
it was not until after they passed out of
active life and went in other directions
that the magnificent private cars Of the
present day were built. Those in
which railroad magnates as q rule
travel bear no comparison what
ever to the splendidly appointed
establishment which nearly every railroad
hauls over the country At the command of
men who are able and willing to pay for
the luxury. Many wealthy men like Cen
eral Alger of Michigan and others whom I
do not Just now recall, own their own and
had them built and furnished to suit their
pocket and their lasts. / frequently see
the Michigan" owned by Governor Al
ger, and the Maryland controlled by
Robert Garrett, passing over the different
railroad lines. On the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn they are known by numbers, the same
as other coaches and have no distinctive
mark; but the private cars belonging to in
dividuals are usually rich affairs bearing
some sentimental name.
