SUCCESSFUL ARCHITECTS.

A Profession That 10 Offering Induce
ments to Energetic Young Women.
The success Of Miss Minerva Parker,
the young Philadelphia architect, and
Miss Tillinghast in this city, says the
N. Y. Recorder, is having its effect in
inspiring other young women with q
desire to take up the same profession.
At Pratt institute, in Brooklyn, whose
architectural course Is open to girls on
the same terms as to young men, there
are two young women students, one
taking the regular course, which ex-
tends over twoyea the other advanc-
ed work. One of these girls is the
daughter of an architect and builder,
who is going into business with her
father, the other will independently
make architecture her profession. Both
of these girls are enthusiasts and talk
of front and rear elevations" and
''joists' and ''girders'' and beams"
and the strength of material and the
properties of different sorts Of mortar,
with glibness that is not without in
terest. Up to date the instruction re.
ceived has been theoretical obtained over
the drawing board and in the lecture
room, but next year the students are to
be taken into the workshops and to
get as much practical discipline as they
and themselves craving. From this
work the girls will be. if they wish, ex.
cused. but they are now quite certain
they will feel no such desire. They are
going to be full-dedged architects, and
not amateurs

WORKING GIRLS CLUBS.

Their Rapid Growth and the Good They
Are Doing In the Large Cities.
One Of the most interesting and sug-
gestive lectures delivered at Chautau-
qua during the season was that of Miss
Grace E. Dodge, on the subject of
'.SOme Heroic Lives" Miss Dodge has
been the leader for the establishment
Of working girls clubs, organizations
designed to help this class in physical,
moral and spiritual ways. In her lee
ture Miss Dodge referred specially to
the working girls of New York, who are
doing SO much for themselves in the way
of education and improvement After
Introductory remarks, Miss Dodge said
that she came to present some heroic
lives rarely noticed, and yet deserving
of honor-viz., the working girls of our
great cities, those who during the day
are employed at shops and factories
while they were workers, earning on an
average 1924 week. Coming from
cramped surroundings they lived grand.

from different ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from

from homes where the daughters did not

The Pleasant Woman Who Has Charge
Of AhAirs ut the Mount Vernon Estate.
The present satisfactory condition Of
all that concerns Mount Vernon is
largely due to the consummate ability
by which Mrs Macallester Laughton,
the regent, has directed its affairs. She
was appointed the vice regent for Penn
sylvania in her sixteenth year. She In

memory Of Washington from her dis

purchase of the estate and later he gave

wealth, was judiciously trained from
her youth in the management Of it and
it was this ability which SO eminently
fitted her for the responsible position
| she has SO long held in the regency.
Every month she receives the reports
of the superintendent and in everything
going on at Mount Vernon she has q
practical knowledge. Few better than
she can appreciate the jealous labors of
her colleagues in the council nor under.

obliged to make in the days gone by to

| non.
One of the oldest Of the southern vice
regents has said, speaking Of the pres
sent prosperous condition Of the estate,
that now it did not make SO much diff
ference if member should absent her
self from council. but in years gone by.
when each vice regent had to pay her
travelling expenses out of her own
purse, they regarded it as great loss
to remain away. 1t is related of one
vice regent from one of the cotton
states. who has long since passed away,
that she was obliged once to sell q
finger ring to make up the sum she
needed to come up to the council She
did not think any thing of it, either,
as her enthusiasm in her work was
greater than any sense of loss she could
feel for her trinkets.
1t is just the same absorbing earn
estness in her work that has prevented
Mrs Laughton from taking her usual
summer trips to Europe the past six
years, as she felt that her direction
would be useful and the trust reposed
in her not fulfilled entirely to her salts

the Part Women Are Taking In the GreaS
Movements Of tho Day.
It Is not many years since the direct
and personal participation OF q woman
in any public enterprise was looked
upon as unseenlly, as unsexing her, ac-
cording TO the cant of the time. The
great temperance and other moral re-
form movements of the first half OF
this century proceeded without the help
Of women as active agents Women
contributed to them their prayers and
their influence in domestic life, but
they were listeners and not speakers at
the meetings.
Nowadays all that has changed, and
the change has come with surprising
rapidity. In every employment where
rude strength Is not requisite, women
have appeared as the competitors and
assistants Of men. They are not black
smiths, masons and stone cutters, the
drivers of drays, stevedores, hod car
riers, brakemen and locomotive engi-
ncers, but any work, manual or intel.

OF women as speakers on public plat
