and one that cannot he too early considered
for that it is going to take money and plen
ty of it no one having lived through con
vention week at Chicago can gainsay. Un
doubtedly there is the disposition, even il
friendly Chicago, to make those who dance
pay the fiddler, the argument being that
we, the dancers, will own the floor. or, te
drop the figure, the entire town. Chicago
will be homeless for the time, or to para
phase, the old town will not be what it used
to be, for they will be full of strangers, or,
worse yet, distant and long forgotten rela-

requisite number of fg leaves to see them

out of date, preferable to trying to buy 'the

Worth Your Life to Go Driving.
There can be no driving; indeed, it is
already agreed by residents of the Worlds
Fair city that such thing as driving for
pleasure is not to be attempted. The streets
are to be left free as possible for traffic and
travel and the fashionable drives given over
to recreating sightseers That some such
restful recreation will be a necessity those
having visited the Centennial Exposition
will remember, and if necessary at that
time, it will be ten times so at the coming
Exposition, for as the infant to the man

system of penny saving.
Home for Women visisors
Realizing that the extortions of con-
scienceless landlords and greedy landladies
will fall heaviest upon women dependent
upon the purse of a possibly grudging other
"haif" and so also upon the great army of
self-supp orting women, the Board of Lady
Managers, who really have thought of
everything for the betterment of their sex
in connection with the movement, have
considered Whist could be done toward pro-
viding home for women during the Fair
and the result of their deliberations has
been the maturing of plans for a safe, clean,
thoroughly comfortable home at rates which
ell industrial women, wage earners or work.
ing girls, can afford to pay.
The Woman's Dormitory Association of
the Columbian Exposition will erect -four
Buildings that will comfortably house ], $50
each These are to be supplied with good
beds and all toilet conveniences, and the
rate for such accommodations, it is prom
ised, shall not exceed 40 cents per day,
and may fall triae under that nominal
sum. The association has issued stock at
SO per share, no person being allowed more
than 500 worth. This stock has been sent to
lady managers in each State to be disposed
Of, and there certainly should be no trouble
in selling it when the plan is understood.
Stock is worcestershire, and the presenta-
tion of a certificate of stock at any dormi-
tory of the association will entitle the own
er, or anyone to whom she may have trans
ferred her stock, to lodging at the apart
ments, and the certificate will be applied
toward the payment of such lodging at its
face value. And the holder of a certificate
will be entitled to share in any profits that
may accrue from the enterprise
Earning Peep at the Fair.
Refined, matronly women are wanted to
preside over these homes to insure the
safety and tender care to the temporary
residents This, you observe, opens up
and earn the way to see it. Other ways
there are which l want to tell
you of as we 60 along. For the
position of matron or for waitress, in
case the light restaurant now being
talked OF in connection with the dormitories
is constructed, address Mrs. Matilda B.

These dormitories, while open to all
women OF good repute, were originally in
tended for that class commonly known as
working girls" For professional and
business women there is still another pro-
vision, thanks to the Physicians Publish
women physicians who have an incorporated
company with capital stock of $4,000 for
the purpose of erecting a hotel. This
building will be commenced August /, until
which time the company offers room certif-
Gates at SO each exchangeable for the
use of one room for one week during the
six months OF the Fair, the time to be,
specified in the certificate. These certif-
Gates also are transferable.
Pleasant and Convenient Quarters.
The situation of the hotel is both pleasant
and convenient 1t is within one block of
the Exposition grounds and five minutes
walk from the main entrance at Midway
Plaisance. The building will be on a cor
ner lot-allowing sunlight and outside air |
to all rooms. These rooms will be furnished |
with conveniences for only one person, but |
the holder of certificate upon payment of |
81 90 additional at the time OF oc- |
cupying her room will be entitled |
to admit another woman to share |
it during her week of possession and suita-
bic accommodations tor two will be pro- |
vided. This, you see, will enable women |
to secure comfortable rooms near the Expo
sition grounds at the low rate of 81 per day. |
In connection with this hotel there is to be
a restaurant, a bureau of information, tele-
graph, telephone and messenger service, all
at the usual rates
This hotel owned bv women, instituted |
solely for women, is to be run by women
