The public recital by the music depart
ment Tuesday afternoon was a great i'm
provement over that of last year, and spec
ial mention should be made of the solos of
Hindes and Therrien and Misses Forbes
and Adams. Both Miss Norton and Miss
Lacey have done excellent work in their
departments and such an exhibition shows
this conclusively.
Miss Goodwin of the art department
with her pupils gave very enjoyable re-
ception Tuesday afternoon, and the eXhi-
bition of painting and drawing delighted
all by its high degree of merit.
DR.. Williams acted as reviewing officer
at the military drill and dress parade on
Fuller field Tuesday evening He was as
sisted by ex-Gov Fuller, Rev. S. H. Ar
chibald, Rev. w. r. Baldwin, and Harry
S. Mabie of '92. The drill was well-nigh
perfect in every respect, and that by the
'crack company was a marvel of precis-
ion. This last drill, under Lieut.. Gatchell,
added new credit to his enviable record as
military instructor at Vermont Academy.
The address before the literary societies
by Prof. L. W, Spring of Williams college
was thoughtful, scholarly and eminently
practical presentation of the subject of
"Books" and their proper use. The
speaker divided books into two classes,
books of knowledge and books of power or
inspiration, the latter being composed of
fiction and poetry, and urged that care
full study of the best, word by word and
letter by letter, would repay for all the
time and thought expended, by the broader
outlook and deeper culture that would re-
suit. Hindes san. a solo in his superb
style, and the qp ttet made up of Messrs,
Williams, Gatca \, Therrien and Hindes
sang ''Night V lery'' by Storch.

of passage, which in turn opens off of West Polk street at 1s8 and 1SS. The building is arranged in little flats of three and four rooms each and is ad- mirably suited to the purposes of a model lodging house for women, since the small room designed for a kitchen and furnished with sink can be util- ized for toilet purposes by those who sleep in the rooms adjoining.

she can settle herself. There is an emergency fund which is drawn upon in case of necessity, so that no one is left uncarcd for. There is also an ar engagement by which any woman who wishes to do so can work a half hour for what is known as a European breakfast, which consists of rolls and a can breakfast, with meat and potatoes In addition to the sleeping rooms there is pleasant sitting-room where there arc papers and books. As a rule, the books and papers are scarcely glanced at during the time the lodgers are gath. cred in the sitting-room, as they arc, with almost no exception, gregarious company, who love best of all to ex- change experiences.
 The work shop connected with tRe lodging house for women is a light place where women are given employ ment at fifty cents day when work can be obtained. All sorts of plain household sewing are done to order.
 Efforts are now being made by Mrs. Edwin II. Kean, Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House social settlement, Mrs. ". H. Tyler Dr. Sarah HaclSett Steven son and other prominent Chicago women to raise funds for building which will be especially suited to their purposes and will be in every par- ticufar model lodging house and work shop. A portion of the fund for this purpose is now in hand, and it seems assured that at no distant day model shop, where all sorts of work will be done and a large number of machine women will be employed, will be, an accomplished fact. It is proposed in connection with this workshop to put goods on the market warranted to be made under hygienic conditions, such as do not exist in the sweat shops where most ready-made garments are made. Arrangements are also being made to form consumers leagues, throughout the country which will stand pledged to buy no goods made in sweat shops. Thus, ''the model lodging house and workshop" which was established only six months ago, promises to be the be- ginning of fa--reachfng and impor- tant movement as we'll as temporary shelter for self-helping women who, for any reason, are for the time being without home.

much mooted "New Woman" who very often goes forth to toil, as does man, for her daily bread, that there has been any need of such an institution. For merly it was only the woman who through some misfortune was obliged to do almost anything to keep out of the last ditch in the struggle for existence that frequently needed shelter, and she, as a rule, stood in need of food, also, and, for the matter of that, al- most everything else. At the Home of the Friendless" she was housed, and her needs ministered to until such time as she could be relaunched on the tide of meager bread winning, to more often than frequently return to be again cared for, since she was essentially a dependent creature. The woman whose temporary needs demand lodging house such as has been provided in numbers in all large cities for men, Is a wholly different being. She is not de- pendent, but independent. She has usually bit of money in her pocket and also has clearly defined ideas of what she proposes to do. Her neces- sity is not to go into dry docks for re- pairs, but only into safe harbor for a brief space. She is not seeker after charity, in fact would resent its be- stowal, although she gladly avails her self of an opportunity to be comfort ably housed, when she can pay a small sum for the accommodation in money or labor.
 "The Model Lodging House and Workshop for Women," which is sole representative of its kind in Chicago, was established in response to dem- onstrated demand. A year ago, when the sudden financial depression was followed by the shutting down of so many factories and workshops, the Chicago Women's club secured funds and opened sewing-rooms where women, were paid fifty cents day in order to relieve as much as possible the want which was pressing. During the time these emergency sewing-rooms were conducted it become clear that there was need of lodging house for women with workshop, where Q woman could earn the price of q nights lodging, and even more if neces- sary. A committee was appointed to see what could be done about estab- fishing an institution of this kind, and. after securing pledges of financial aid from the various clubs of women throughout the city, the undertaking was launched in modest way in apart mentS openinp off a littlercul de sac

A Bit of Portable Furniture That Is Use-
 ful and Pretty.
 For a sewing room, or, in fact, any apartment where the weekly mending Is done, a alarming screen is wonder fully commodious. Its conveniences consist of two capacious pockets, to hold stockings or any garment fresh from the laundry and needing atten- tion; handy shelf whercon to place ones sewing, tidy little cushion with scissors and loosely swung by ribbons to ono side.
 It is delightful bit of property to serve one, while seated at open window in summer time or upon an upper ve- randa with ones work, looking out over the sea with the perfume of fresh flowers in the air.
 Trim the skeleton screen to harmo- nizc with the fittings of the room.
 The model, freshly imported, from which we had the idea, was grand affair for town house and cost fifteen dollars.
 It was gotten up in tapestry and richly finished; but l have made one for the same useful purpose, and even fresher and daintier, for only two dol lars outlay. A carpenter constructed the framework for the two panels, with the bar across the top, and the little shelf for twenty-five cents. The pine used was an old packing box found in the cellar. The panels must be three and one-half feet high and eighteen inches wide, made of strips three inches broad. The shelf should be eight inches wide and twelve inches long to fit the panel and close up.

rucs, few pictures and rocking chairs, are added or withheld, at the will of those who, as 1t were, adopt the room
 It is evident that there is more be- slowing than withholding, and also that there is more or less emulation among the different clubs represented as to making the rooms they have ln charge attractive, as there is not one or them in which there are not many things that have no other office than to add to the appearance or comfort of the apartment. In fact, there nre lew boarding houses, of the cheaper sort' where the rooms are so pleasant. TO be sure, there are from two to four beds in a room. but everything is spot Iessly clean ana the ventilation is good. Each little bed is furnished with springs, nice mattress, sufficient bed ding and white spread. In addition to this there is a gown for every lodger. The rules require that every applicant for bed shall take a thorough bath and have her clothes examined. She is then given q clean gown in which to sleep.
 The rules of "The Model Lodging house and Workshop for Women" are few and simple. First of all, everyone who comes is received. If the apph- cants have money they pay fifteen cents for a nights lodging; if they have none, they are expected, if they are able, to work one hour, which is considered adequate payment. There are but two persons regularly em- ployed, the matron and the forewoman of the workshop. Everything is done by the inmates, in order to give them as much employment as possible. Civ ing those who need work some thing to do just now is one of the most difficult problems confronting those who have the undertaking in charge. It is not case of fields white for the harvesters with few or no laborcrs, but of waiting laborcrs with scarcely sim gle field in which they can work. Aside from the bath, which has al- ready been spoken of, there is nothing required of the lodgers excepting that they shall retire at ten o'clock and leave the house not later than ninc o'clock in the morning, and that each one shall wait on herself and take care of her own bed and her part of the room as long as she remains.
 A careful record of everyone who at any time has been an inmate is kept, and some of these accounts are as pa thetic as they are interesting. One woman who came to Chicago from Kansas City to look for her husband was quite crazed at finding herself alone, almost destitute and friendless. She was taken to the home and cared for until she could care for herself. The officials at all the depots know of this lodging house, and many a woman, who would otherwise be likely to have a most hapless time, is sent here until
