Woman as Architects.

ut is a surprise 10 me-" said lady
with whom I was talking. that women
have not taken up architecture as pro-
fession to a fuller extent, for there is no
business for which woman is more pecul-
iarly fitted. Men have little practical
knowledge of the value of space in a
house, or of the advantages of closets,
or the disagreeable incidents which oc-
cur in an i'll arranged mansion. The
home is especially the woman's sphere,
and houses designed by women for
women should theoretically, and would
practically, 1 think. prove that many
and great improvements could be made
on the majority of those claptrap affairs
which are now being put up.
"Of course. women could not do the
supervising and practical construction,
but it would be a comparatively easy
thing for a female architect to find a
raliable builder to take all that part Of
the work off her shoulders, or she could
hire a trained manager who could make
her estimates and attend to the strictly
business part of the office. Not only
is a woman's knowledge Of the needs Of
a home more practical. but the artistic
is also more fully developed in her than
it is in man. She can estimate an effect
more quickly and as a rule she has
great deal more knowledge Of the value
Of colors and the influence of lines in
the production of the desired effect. 7

see a great many houses which are the

How She Lives.

An Illustration Of the abject devotion
Of some women in New York to society
was related by a fashionable physical n
10 a reporter. He had been called reg
ularly every day 10 treat a woman who
was very popular socially for general de-
bility and exhaustion. She insisted upon
dancing until or o'clock every morn
ing. and her days We're a perpetual round
Of receptions. lunches and teas. She
would not take time for sufficient sleep
and thought that the doctor could man
age to pull her through the season by
tonics Of various kinds. She insisted up
on continuing her social rounds. so he
hit upon a plan for reorganiZing her day
for her. and this she now carries out to
the letter. Her day begins at o'clock
in tho afternoon instead Of 10 in the
morning. Her rooms are darkened and
nothing is allowed to disturb her rest
until 3 O'Clock. Then she takes a tepid
bath and is put through a course Of
massage by a Swedish woman. She is
rubbed vigorously and her blood forced
into circulation. Then she takes a cup
Of chocolate. dresses for the afternoon.
and at 4 O'Clock steps into her carriage
10 make her necessary calls. An hour
before dinner she lies down again i'm a
darkened room. and after dinner she
goes at her own pace until ? or { the
next morning. The only stipuIa ton the
doctor made was that before going to
bed she should drink at least pint of
milk and eat some biscuits.-N. Y sun.

there is sufficient hight between the top
of the door and the ceiling. put a shelf
for snowy ornaments that have good
color over the door. or a long narrow
mirror or flower picture. Some of the
studies that come with the art magazines
are used TO great advantage in this place.
A different effect may be had by plac-
ing a tall bookcase or buffet or q sofa

proved by first covering the door with
