VICTORIA's ENVIABLE PREROGA
TIVE.

She May Summon an Entire Opera Com
pany to sing for Her Exclusively.
There are some delightful preroga-
tives incident to the high estate OF En-
press-Queen which would go far toward
reconciling one TO being as stout and
short as is the present very worthy in
cumbent OF the English throne. Fancy
being able to command an entire opera
company to come TO you at your home,
with all Of their paraphernalia, instead
OF bustling through your dinner and
racing up elevated stairs, hanging on
straps in street cars, spelling your tenn
per and your best gloves all TO get TO
your seat in the close and crowded thea
ire before the first act is
over. The Queen manifests
an increasing interest In this
for of diversion, and although the year
of mourning for the Duke of Clarence
has not yet passed, Mile. de Lussan has
been summoned twice to appear before
Her Majesty, the last time in title role
of Carmen. Nearly a thousand pounds
were spent in the preliminary prepare
ton Of the Waterloo chamber for the
performance, quite apart from the ex-
pense incurred in bringing down
the company and special seen
cry. and large contingent of
royalty was on hand, in brilliant
dress and handsome jewels, to give the
popular American prima donna the
stimulus Of appreciative applause. The
Queen came in dressed In black, leaning
lightly on her ebony staff, and appar-
entity in the best of spirits. She ap-
plauded frequently, tapping her fan on
the gilt table in front Of her chair, and
when the performance was over she
presented Miss de Lussan with dia-
mond pin and most cordial congratula-
tions on her success and talent.

Interesting Information.

Mrs. Wilkinson, President OF the Co.
lumbar Association of Housekeepers,
says that 1t is easier to start Dante
class or a Browning class, or class to
study medi9val art, or even Sanscrt
among women than TO establish house,
keepers clubs In any city. Possibly
the reason may be that the housekeep.
erS have too much business on hand at
home TO spend their time at clubs. You
can take your Rossetti under your arm
and trapse off to club to talk IL all
over with lot Of other women, but
you can't very well take your salad or
luncheon, or your parlor busting with
you; discussions won't do the morning
marketing, and dinners are obstinate
problems which every woman must fig
ure out for herself, according to the
particular taste OF the wan who eats
them.
George w. Childs says of the 800 girls
he has educated that the teachers and
nursAs and the graduates Of law and
medicine have, without exception, been
successful, while those who were ambi-
tiouS for public careers have met with
but ordinary success. ThSSe trained
for elocutionistS have made the most
money. To girls OF musical ability has
been given every advantage possible in
the way Of home and foreign training,
and the salaries earned by them range
from $500 to $4,000. 1t is an interest
ing fact that though many daughters
OF journalists have been included
among those assisted by the phian-
thropical editor, who always considers
the men and women OF mis- own calling
are nearest his heart, not one has en-
tered the newspaper profession.
