Just after the husband had fallen into

him to say Arthur dear, you must wake
up and let me tell you about fine piece
of economy of mine to-day" He argued

the gas and dragged out a huge bandboX

and pink satin.

Then he sat upright -Four dollars and

you are going on a stock farm for the sum-

''Why, Arthur, dear, 1 hadn't thought of
that" and she sank down in Il chair with

Anne Morton Lane, in New York Mail and
Express.
A brand new club for the new woman has
been started in London, and it is called
the "Womans Institute" Its idea is ambi-
tious, and it's tendency toward the woman's
movement broad and generous in the eX-
IRENE. 1t is a club that has grown out of
that most famous of all womer's clubs, the
Pioneer, and, in fact it is a sort of reor-
ganized version of that original body. Ac
cording to it's prospectus it aims at estab-
fishing q center to bring women in different
spheres of work into touch with one an
other, with the object of giving cohesion
and affording direction to the varied any
many-Slded activities OF the modern Wom-
an. The new Woman's Institute is not only
to be a central meeting place, a society of
societies for the convenience of women en-
gagged in the various departments of work
that fall to their lot, but 1T will also, by
its system of departments, become cen
trail bureau for dealing with all questions
OF interest and Importance TO women. Such,
at least, is the hope of its founder. The
danger is that this bureaucratic system will
fail from the very complication of its ma
chinery. Take, for instance, the scheme

One of the most active workers for wom-

whose husband is heir to the mar

for many years had her name associated
with all branches of womens industries

special interest in the encouragement of
British wooden industries While not being
exactly an advocate Of woman's rights in
a political parliamentary sense, Lady
Beehive is distinctly advanced in her
views, and she is usually prominent among
the interesting reform movements of the
day. Her name has come to the front es-
pecally just now in connection with the
Queens diamond jubilee, for this indus
trious countess has designed a beautiful
tea cloth in commemoraton of the auspic-

This remark of Mayor Strong may be
forcibly illustrated by story of his own
self-reliance. 1t was during his first years
in New York He had been in the employ
OF one of the leading merchants here for
some time. when disagreement arose be-
tween him and the merchant about a cer-
tain matter. In the discussion which fol-
lowed Strong thought he was not properly
treated and as a result there were hot
words between the two At last the en-
ployer told MIR. Strong that he did not be-

him.

reply: work for you after this Why man.
! would not work for you after what you
have said for $4,000 minute.
Thereupon young Strong took up his hat
and left. He was out of a place for few
days. The first man to whom he applied
for work asked him for references. Young
Strong at once gave him the name of the
man who had just dismissed him. Said he:
Il could refer you TO fifty men who know
me. each OF whom ! doubt not would say
a good thing for me- But what you want
is the name OF some one 1 have worked for.
