There is II great field open to women
as draughtsmen. There is no more rea-
son why they may not plan houses as
well as paint pictures, but as yet there
are few disposed TO undertake the work.
Every woman sees faults in a house she
rents or buys, and without doubt if
women planned these abodes there would
be a disposition of space now unknown,
and there would be fewer lamentations
in regard to corner cupboards and bare
wall space. 1t is said that a woman is
to plan the pavilion TO be devoted to
women's work at the Worlds fair. I'M
til this report was circulated nobody
thought there were any women archi-
tects, but it turns out that there are
several.
There Is a very successful woman ar
chitect in Boston, one in Newport, and
one in one of the western cities. The
latter belongs to a firm, her husband
being the other partner. She works like
a man. and is the only woman, as yet,
who ~attendsthe convention of architects.
There is an apartment house in Chicago
designed by n woman, and the rooms are
said to be admirably arranged. Tho
pantries are extra commodious, the bath
room contains n linen cupboard, and the
entrance hall n stationary hat rack, and
various other conveniences leave nothing
to be desired.-New York Sun.

Shut off the water first, and then spread
some white lead on a cloth, like aplaster.
Tie this firmly over the leak, and the
plaster will soon harden, for the water
cannot work its way out or prevent the
plaster adhering.
Unless the plumber will make thor
ough repairs when he does come, the
lead plaster is Sore permanent than any
puttied joint or weak solder. Let a
pound Of white lead stand a day or two
until a skin has formed over it, and then
cover it with water. 1t will be soft and
ready for use at any time, and the house

Porter, as best suits a frosty morning.
Strips Of rubber cut from old rubber
shoes and bound tightly over the leaks
in hot water pipes will close the holes
and stop the dripping food.
When the water freezes in the traps Of
the bathroom or the kitchen sink, quart
of common salt thrown into them will
thaw them out more rapidly than hot
water. A lighted lamp placed under a
frozen water pipe is more rapid and con-
venient in its work than pouring on hot
water. a lamp, the flame partly lower
ed, placed under an exposed bend or
length of pipe which is liable to freeze
is a simple preventive Of trouble in bit
ter weather. -Harper's Bazaar.

press gallery, hard at work with pencil
and paper. There are many women in
Washington who write for the press, and
some of them earn large incomes too,
but only IL has entree to the press gal

regularly accredited and very industri-
II correspondent Of a western paper,
and she takes her place among the large
number of newspaper men and manages
to get all the news in which her employ
ers are interested, but the fact is she
meets with no very cordial welcome at
the hands OF her fellow workers. The
newspaper correspondents here have al
ways been opposed to letting women into
the gallery, and while they couldn't keep
Mrs. Burke out under the rule, they
managed to exclude her name from the

/ was greatly interested in listening to
some of Mrs. Lippincott's "reminiscences
the other afternoon. We were talking
in her pleasant apartment on West
Thirty-fourth street, New York. She
wa showing me a scrap book which her
mother made Of newspaper clippings
about Grace Greenwood. The PERSONAL
ties Of those days are very amusing to
read now. With their stately language,
their rhetoric. they are entirely different
from the hippant and familiar paragraphs
OF today
In those days" said Mrs. Lippincott,
1t was an unusual thing for a woman
TO write. We wero blue stockings then.
How often did people say to me, Well,
my dear, this writing may be amusing
to you; you may enjoy it, but you know
1t viii injure your chances Of getting a
husband That was the main object of
woman's existence then. | was the first
woman newspaper correspondent No,
was not the first woman journalist
Margaret Fuller and Lydia Maria Child
were before me-but my Washington
correspondence inaugurated n new de
parture."
Mrs, Lippincott intends 20 make Wash
ington her home for the future, and
when once settled there TO begin to make
her recolleCtions, which certainly will be
instructive and Of great interest. The
lady's hair is quite gray, She is stout
and motherly looking. The quaint, old
fashioned portrait of herself when a
young woma shows lovely face lighted
by great hazel eyes, and many Of the
curious personalities and poems written
to and about her speak Of her beautiful
hands and arms, Mrs. Lippincott's time
is almost entirely given overto charitable
work, hunting ont the poor and needy
and mluisteriug to their wants. Her
daughter, who studied for the stage and
who was forced to retire from it tempo
rarily on account of i'll health, lives with
her She is a fair girl with a serious and
delicate face. Edith Sessions Topper in

Mrs. wilIiam7C. Whitney, the wife OF
the ex-secretary Of the navy, discussed
career Of an actress,
The question is not an easy one TO my
mind to answer, for it depends upon a
great many conditions. / do not know
At the present time OF a single instance
where a fashionable woman has gone on
the stage and has retained her social po-
sition The fact is there are very few
fashionable women who have gone into
professional life, and those few can hard
ly be cited as good examples. In every
case these women have taken their choice
between their friends in society and the
people they have met on the stage, and
in preferring the latter have lost all con
nection hat they had with the friends of
their former life. If a woman who goes
on the stage surrounds herself by a first
class company, and leadsa perfectly clean
life during her professional career. and
continues her friendship for her social
friends, II u quite ITECiy THAT she would
retain whatever good position she had
before.
4 think. however continued Mrs
Whitney. THAT our society. being so
conservative and rather slow, would prob
ably hesitate a long while before opening
its arms to an actress There is nothing
against the profession, and | know a
great many lovely women who earn their
living by it, but You know there is a gen
eral prejudice against il, and it would be
hard 10 overcome 1t.
In England the Prince Of Wales Is the
Ladder OF the social world. and an invita-
ton extended by him TO any member Of
the theatrical profession means, of course.
social recognition all around. In this
country society Is founded upon a differ
ent basis entirely. We have no Prince
of VALE and no leader TO follow. and
therefore there would be no one to settle
such a question. OF course Mrs. So-aud-
so might invite a prominent member OF
the profession to lii with her or TO one
Of her big entertainments, but it would
be a question as to whether others would
follow suit
No. continued Mrs. Whitney Amer
lean society is not as lax in some respects
as English society, for English society
will tolerate a great deal that our society
will not The sun and substance Of the
whole matter is that it is hardly probable
for many years to come that the fashion
able world will accept a woman who has
been on the stage, unless she belonged to
society before entering on her profession
al career. and ever then, as said before,
1t all depends upon the manner Of her
stage life and her stage friends "-Philn-
