Miss Francis Willard.

Miss Francis willard.
America has never produced a woman Of
whom the people should feel prouder than
Miss Frances Willard, the great temperance
advocate.
The return OF Miss Willard from abroad,
where she has been for two years on
count of her health. has filed the hearts
of her friends and admirers with joy and
gratitude, for she comes to them with re-
uewed health and strength and when she
left this country two years ago there We're
many sad misgivings as to her safe return.
Miss Willard is u most remarkable Wo-
man, gentle, modest and Womaniy, and
yet with the strongest mind and energy.
To look at this fair little woman one could
not imagine the amount OF work she could
accomplish, and it is almost impossible TO
believe she could be heard in u hall con-
tanning 5000 people, and yet she often lee
lures to such crowds and her voice, Though
soft and gentle, will penetrate to the
farthest corner Of an audience hall She is
without doubt the most interesting lecturer
] have ever heard. Her language is chaste,
beautiful, and her originality of thought
wonderful.
On her arrival in New York she was in
terveWed by a Worlds reporter, and gave
many pleasant incidents Of her sojourn She
has been the guest of Lady Henry Somer-
set, and speaks of her stay there "a
day dream" When asked the secret of her
return to health she attributed II TO a good
rest-sayS she is an eight-hour WOman-eight
hours for work, eight hours for sleep and
eight hours Tor what you viii, and one day
in the seven for the soul. She goes on to
say that speaking in public was what had
injured her; for ten years she had averaged
one address q day the year round, and
while ABROAD she did very little OF this

prescribed a bicycle and Miss Willard says
she took the prescription in big doses.
Lady Henry Somerset preseu, eG the bicN-
Gle, and she learned to ride IA thirty
hours. She has brought nor bicycle over
with her. she gives this account Of now she

Five meals a day. l never thought /

IS no resisting the heavy, soSsy climate
in any other way. There you have the

weak. with lots Of cream, but l was never
able to decline it. AS soon as I aWolze,
pretty maid brought me pretty service,
with shell cups POT OF the fragrant,
steaming beverage and a dish Of biscuits.
Lady Henry used TO say that England
got the best tea that grew; in blin ing it
across the Big Muddy. she claimed that it
lost some of ITS finest flavor. At o'clock |
had more tea, with Il breakfast Of fruit,
eggs and toast. At o'clock We had lunch
q meat lunch, but not heavy meat. Beef
steak WAS ordered for Us, while the family
had chicken, squad fish, some other light
meat l very soon lost my liking fOr steak

we had ~ed and calaWay cake at
o'clock, dinner at O'clock, and, at 10
o'clock instead Of more tea, had Indian
corLmeal and milk, and with every mouths
ful, 1 tasted the old forest home suppers
OF Wisconsin.
Did you drink ice water with your dim
ner?"
Not Il drop. The English are far ahead
of Us IN temperance drinks, Tor instance
caraffes filled with lemon juice and iced
water We're always placed about tine table
at dinner; at other meals there were bot
ties Of lime and grape juice and tea at
and between meals. For eight years past
no wine has been served at Lady IIenry's
table. Her views on temperance are 50
widely known that manufacturers send
sample cases of temperance drinks as fast
as they are made, ana scarcely Il day passes
that she does not have contributions 10 ac-

Miss Willard attributes her new lease OF
life and restored vitality TO the CHEEKY az
self.
Just before sailing Miss Willard had q
farewell meeting and addressed 5000 peo-
pie IN Queens hall-subjects, Peace SUI
frage, labor, social purity and temperance.'
