Free Lunch For Women

The free lunch routes of the metropolis
are varied in style and amplitude. They
have an army of patrons who drink to
eat and eat to drink. But these patrons
are males. Up to very recently it has
not been thought worth while to induce
women to spend money by coaxing the
stomach and fattering them that thew
are getting something for nothing. Why
this has been SO I'm sure don't know.
The latter idea certainly goes. much
further with women than with men.
Very recently, however, some attempts
have been made to please the female
palate. The best shops have restaurants
for ladies, as verybody knows. But the
free lunch feature is q new one. Where

The Late Lady Ailesburv.

Shrewd, able and experienced. most
genial, always sociable, worldly wise
without being worldly, it may be said of
the late Lady Ailesbury that she never
made an enemy and never lost friend.
A tall, graceful, striking woman, she
was possessed of very marked indi-
viduality, quality singularly scarce in
the society of our day. By her death al
most every member of the royal family
loses a much valued and intimate friend,
and English society suffers the loss of it's
most prominent figurehead. For full
half century the late Lady Ailesbury has
been an acknowledged leader in our
midst, she has been behind the scenes in
almost every event of consequence af-
fecting in any way our social life, and
her advice, always sound and practical,
has frequently directed the course of af-
fairs which have ultimately attained to
public Importance. The late Maria,
Lady Ailesbury, would have been a his
torical figure in any other generation but
her own. Asst was, she was q great lady
hopelessly obscured by insignificant sur
roundings. Truth.

Gould is high spirited young woman,
and her resentment of interference with
the course of her affections, based upon
this proviso i'll the deceased wizards
will, nearly precipitated a family catas-
trophe. The young lady has been con-
ccrned enough to ask whether the provi-

seems it might be declared void under
the decision condelnning all nuncupa-
tive conditions even lightly in restraint
of marriage as against public policy.

porters will be writing up one moro great

Maud-Yes. 50 E
q Clara-Before / congratulate you I want
to tell you OF an experience had with him.
1t happened last year ut the horse show.
You know we were engaged ut the time,
and he had invited me to CO. We had a
box, and it was awfully swell. Must have
cost him lot. Well. we hadn't been sit
ting there but few moments when Claude
got restless, and almost before 1 knew it
he excused himself. Said there was
friend OF his in the crowd that he must
see about an important business trans.
action. Now, knew thing or
two myself, so I beckoned to little
Willie Cleyertrap, who sat only two boxey
away. Willie is awfully young, you know,
but he has done me lots of favors. Willie
came over ut once, and 1 told him to follow
Claude and tell me afterward where he had
gone. In about half an hour Claude came
back with smile on his face saying it was
all right, and after him came Willie, but
OF course at respectable distance The
next day he told me oil about it. 1t seems
that Claude walked through the crowd
went up to tall, elderly man whom Willie
had never seen before, and after speaking
with him earnestly for moment bo:h of
them left the garden, walked down
one of the avenues and entered
quiet cafe. Willie put his coat
up around his ears, sneaked in and sat
down ut an adjoining table. My dear,
what he heard was awful. 1t seems that
the elderly man was the father of some girl
that Claude was desperately in love with,
although of course he was engaged to me
at the time, and he was trying to get his
consent. Willie says he argued and plead
ed until finally the old man said they must
get back, and he would see him about it
again. Imagine my feelingsl OF course
the next day l sent him back his ring, and
he accepted it without any explanation.
But that's the sort of fellow he is, and
would look out for him, dear, if were you.
Maud-Yes, will. should think you
would have had some curiosity to know
who the elderly man was.
Clara-So did, but was too proud to
ask.
Maud (sweetly)-I can tell you He was
my father.-Truth.

Women's Work In England.

London has society for promoting
the employment of women whose latest
report shows that 60 young women have
through its influence begun to learn
some special branch of business or some
trade, while II have found permanent
engagements and G10 have been en-
ployed temporarily, half of this number
being engaged for writing and others
clerks, dressmakers, cooks and waitress
es. The general experience of the society
6hows that women do not contemplate
earning n living until want is close at
hand, and then they decide to become
nurses or lecturers at the very last mo-
ment. But for those who have never re.
ceived any technical training the CITY
allows the society a sum of money for
training fees. Among the employments
which the society recommends are draw
ing for the press and chrome photography.
There is great demand for women who
are both shorthand and typewriters, but
the conditions require that they must
have thorough mastery of English
grammar and composition, and the ma
Jority of girls have too little education
for the purpose.
Lie society mas 1ounC, more permanent
engagements for clerks and bookkeepers
than for any other employment. The
wages of the rank and file of women
employed in the industries which minis
ter to ordinary human needs arc deplor-
ably bad, and the women are powerless
i'll their poverty. In the Leeds clothing
trade woman averages shillings a
week. The hours are from a. IN. until
$3.50 p. m, and then it is sometimes nee
essary to take work home and sew until
midnight. Superior workers earn only
9 shillings and sometimes less Report
shows the conditions of women's work
in many Of the factories worse than tho
wages. There are extortionate fines for
trifing faults and an almost inhuman
disregard of health evinced in the rules.
One philanthropic woman suggests trades
unionism as panacea for these evils
and cites case where men and women
weayers arc united in strong union
and earn 20 per cent more wages than
their less well organized neighbors.
