sister TO turn out large numbers OF
women warriors from that institution.
II was not easy work to transform
earnest but ignorant young persons
from the streets into well-informed,
thoroughly trained, and persuasive
women officers. Eva Booth did 1t, and
her pupils made fine regulations for
themselves and did her great credit.
About this time, and when she was
considerably less than 20, the famous
Pail Mall Gazette revelations convulsed
London, and the Salvation Army took
a prominent part in the trouble. In
dlgnant citizens of the lower classes
who objected to being exposed or saved
according TO the army's methods, spent
a great deal OF time bombarding its
Headquarters and making things un-
pleasant for officers and privates. The
greatest trouble was connected with an
army building in the very heart of Lon
dons slums. Eva Booth was sent to
restore peace. Day after day she and
her little band of women marched out
as a target for sticks and stones, and
day after day they marched back very
much bruised, but still full of cheerful
enthusiasm. II was on one of these oc-
Casions that Eva Booths powers Of di-
plomacy first revealed themselves.

she is feet inches tall and she
weighs about 100 pounds. Her chief
beauty lies in her eyes and hair, which
are the same soft shade of brown. The
hair Is very curly and the eyes are
large and tired, ana slightly appealing,
Just now, perhaps because they have
been turned on so many unfriendly
faces. The shape Of her head is hid

soitens the effect of high forehead and
very, very large nose. Any one who
mas seen Ballington Booths nose will
look at his sisters with pang of recol-
lection. The family resemblance Is
very strong.
MISS Booths mouth Is a good, large
mouth, but the lips are rarched and the
INES around them look strained. Her
complexion, which is naturally a fine
English complexion, shows that 1t will
soon rebel against the late hours anC
irregular meals, with which 1t has beer
