LUXURIOUS APPOINTMENTS.

There will be n fine opening for Turkish
baths, as there is but one place in New
York where a woman can have a bath after
l O'clock, and that is a dingy place which is
practically out Of the busy woman's reach,
because it is not open evenings, Sundays or
holidays, as the mems baths are In a
building where women live there will be
the added luxury Of a bath and bed directly
afterward. instead of dressing and going
into the outdoor air, risking ones death Of
cold.

probably be donated as a memorial by a
philanthTopio woman. and the Associated
Artists, an association composed mainly of
women, will give their services In the iute-
rior decoration.
A large assembly room will be decided

OF certain rooms; the Woman's Press Club

WOMAN'S WORLD.
MISS CHARLOTTE ROBINSON, DECO
RATOR TO THE QUEEN.

Not a Princess OF Romance-No Hoops. but
Yet Expansion-The ChiIdren's BUILDING
What the Kansas Election AIeans-Ath-
Ietic SchooIgirIs-Dress Reform.
Frequent reference has been made in
the past week or so TO the beautiful deco
rations Of the new Cunarder Campania,
but 1t Is known to only few Americans
that the magnificent ocean liner was en-
tlrely upholstered, decorated and fitted
mp by woman. Miss Charlotte Robin
son, decorator to the gueen-the first
business woman to receive recognition
from her majesty-holds a foremost
place in her line today, which was won
by no fair field or favor" but by de-
termination, capacity and perseverance,,
added To true artistic instincts and ma
tural and highly cultivated gift Of de-
sign. Eight years ago. having received
u thorough training in art, design and
modelling. she rented some rooms In her
native city of Manchester and stocked
them with artistic furniture.
There ensued many days o. trial and
encouragement. when no sales were
made. when stock accumulated and be-
came ''oGt Of date" on her hands and
when crafty dealers turned her inexpe-
rience 20 their own advantage, and when
the intrepid and az yet not hopeless
young dealer was everywhere greeted by
her pessimistic friends with that most ex-
asperating formula, 81 told you So" FL
nally a few orders came in and were filed
with such originality and boldness of de-
sign, artistic workmanship and thorough
ness in execution that gradually they
multiplied, and many who had scoffed at
this new and ''unfeminine departure"
came to entreat Miss Robinson's advice
and assistance in the decoration of their
homes.
With the Manchester exhibition came
Miss Robinscn's chance. Her stand of
furniture and fittings, many of which
were altogether novel and had been made
from her own graceful designs, proved
one of the most attractive in the build
ing and drew the attention of royalty,
with the result that the appointment of
decorator to the queen" was conferred
upon her. Miss Robinson's success was
now assured.
Miss Robinson does not confine herself
merely to furnish the abodes of the newly
married or replacing the commonplace
with the artistic in English homes. She
revels in mammoth orders, such as fit
ting up hotels, theaters, etc, and now
her latest achievement is the superin-
tendence of all the interior fittings and
decoration of the Campania, the largest
and finest ship afioat.-Chicago Herald.

Int that sleeves. skirt and rutfle5 are all

COMPROMISE. Her skirts flare so greatly
her waist looks small in comparison

Athletic schoolgirls.

The athletic grounds of the Woman's
college in Baltimore are likely, at the
present rate Of progress in fitting them
up, to be ready for use in the fall. DIR.
Mary Mitchell, the physical director
of the college, spent considerable time
in England watching the Girton and
Newman girls at their games, and if
her expectations are realized the Balti-
more bellies will soon be playing cricket,
golf, hockey and tennis in a way to en-
ulate their athletic English sisters. Con-
corning these strong imbed British
maidens Miss Mitchell says that as a re-
suit of their athletic training in the open
air "their compilations are fresh and
bright, their powers of physical endur-
ance great, and they defy the weather
in their outdoor games in way that
would surprise many of our American
girls.
"a visit to their parks in the early morn
ing will show hundreds of thousands of
English women riding horseback with a
keen sense OF enjoyment of the exercise
and the fresh air, while the games that
our girls would deem proper only for
their brothers are quite the thing i'll
England. They fish, sail, row and swim,

What the Kansas Election Really Means.
Woman suffrage achieved victory in
Kansas that may well form new point
of departure. The election day was not
only the most enthusiastic ever known
in the annals of the state, but it was the
most quiet, the most orderly and dig
niied. About 80 per cent Of the total
vote was cast by women. 1t is estimat
ed that 81 per cent Of all the women en-
titled to suffrage cast their ballots. As
a sign Of the times this event is entitled
to serious consideration.
If a woman may without impropriety
walk the crowded streets and enter q
crowded store for shopping, then may
she equally without improperly walk
the street and enter the polling place to
cast her ballot. If woman may go
into the postoffice to mail letter or TO
transact any business, then may she go
to the ballot stand. That woman suf-
frage will come is now only a question of
time. 1t is matter of progress, of true
development. 1t is also question Of the
new ideals of womanhood-thoser revised
ideals of tie last decade of the nine
tenth century. The silly and helpless
type of woman has entirely gone out of
fashion. The standard of feminine at
Effectiveness now comprehends health,
mental vigor, clear understanding and
the strong, helpful attitude toward life.
1t is positive, not negative. The dem
onstration of the actual workings of
women's work in politics in Kansas reg
listers victory that will be a landmark
in progress. Boston Budget.

--aIKlng along q dirty country road or
trudging through the mud on a wet day.
A bride of last week had dress Of
this sort which was specially tasteful as
we'll as sensible. 1t was skirt barely
reaching down to the ankles, pair of
lknickerbockers and a coat made Of tweed,
the coat being lined with pink silk in
side, but as it would if necessary button
tightly across the delicate lining need
not be soiled by the rain.
The style of bodice to be worn would
depend entirely upon the weather. If
cool, it would match the skirt; if warm,
a blouse could be substituted instead.
This is assuredly move in the right
direction, and it shows that women can
when needed make up their minds to be
sensibly as we'll as chaEIningly attlred.
