The various women's clubs and organ-
izations of one sort and another that hold
meetings and banquets at the hotels, says
the New York Times, have so increased in
the past few years that it has become a
distinct phase OF hotel management to care
for this branch of the business. The hotels
like to cater to this custom. The pay is
prompt and the women are never unreason~
able. Last spring breakfast was given at
one Of the hotels by woman's club, at the
close of which-about o'clock-the treas
urer approached the cashier at his desk and
asked for the bill.

standing.
why, our bill for to.day's entertain
ment, the Clubs bill"
The clerk rallied and consulted his books,
soon announcing the amount, $3.50. The
money was counted out and handed over.
"Well, really, ladies'" said the clerk as
he signed a receipt, ''if you were men l
should offer cigars or bottle OF wine on the
part of the house for this unusual prompt

1t is the exception when all such bills are
not paid with equal promptness by these
gatherings Of women.
Two onrsetless actresses. says Clara Belle
in the Times Democrat, are on view this
week in New York. Mrs. Bernard Beere,

and doesn't look we'll in them, and Marie
Tempest as an Italian boy in a comic
opera. Marie wears no cloak, her bodice ia
loose as boys should be, and the metal belt
hangs low over the hip line on one side,
running high at the back. She has an ador-
able strut when she makes her entrance. 1t
Is none the less fetching because it isn't the
least in the world like a man." Not the
very least. She has another adorable way
of seeming to have a ripping joke all to
herself in her own mind, and a Lwinkly
smile keeps slipping into the corners Of her
mouth and glimpsing in her eyes She isn't
pretty, you know. But that Is comfort.
too. She has the French trick of
making "moues," and that is a lot
nicer than being pretty. Altogether she is
very different from our late opera queens 4,
and doesn't amount to 80 much in a general
way. Another actress in the same opera
outsipgs and outacts her, but it Is OF Marie
as wearer of clothes that am praising
her. Now, look at herl She has just APP

white, with train of the ''set" Of which is
the immediate despair Of every woman in
the house. The sleeves are enormous-big-
ger than the Potters in the second act of
'Frou- Frou." She seems to have tucked
her arms through two great cumulo clouds,
and it seems all the more so because there
is finn of cludy yellow lace in and
out about the great white puffiness.
The gown is loose at the waist
not short wasted though. One realizes
how unnecessary the accepted conventional
ls-inch waist ia to the symmetry of a really
well-proportioned figure.
The loose girdle of jewels and the CLEAN
of gems at the neck line of the dress add

hands are heavy with rings. Some mag

moment he fears she is one Of those German
