The new schemes devised by women for tho
luCTehSe OIL tuelr incomes or the useful OCrliD-
tion OF their time are assuming large proper
tions. and some OF the most successtul venture,
have been made by those who seemingly havs
no urgent reason for that sort of effort. Miss

cleaning. when the fragrant cup is most nc
ceptable. The rooms to be fitted up ina
tasteful and luxurious fashion. with easy
chairs. sofas. and divans. and a staff Of neat
handmaidens. under the direction OF Miss VIII
merdinG and Mrs. Lowery. are to minister to
the wants or customers. 1t is TO be- pretty ,nl
comfortable lounging place. and the refresh
ments supplied are to be OF the very best Sim
lar rooms are to be found in Paris on the Bou!e-
ward Haussmann, which will serve Us n moL.l
for the Fifth avenue establishment. As every.

success of the new tea house is assured.
Whatever may be tho faults and foihles Of
the up-to-date woman, this certainly shows a
hard practical spirit which does her the greatest
