SUPREME LADY MAcCABEE
Mrs. Lillian nj. HoIiister Reviewing Southern
California "Hives"

Mrs. Lillian M. Holllster of Detroit,
Mich, supreme commander of the Order
of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the
World, is at the Hollenbeck hotel She
is here for the purpose of reviewing the
work and advancing the interests of the
order. The order, while only about six
years old, numbers over 10000 women.
1t offers life benefits to women on the
same basis that men carry on similar So
cieties.
Mrs. Hollister is speaker of national
reputation and represents many other
national organizations of women; she
is also an author of considerable repu-
tation.
In an interview yesterday Mrs. Hollis
would occupy about ten days in South
ish Columbia.
California" said Mrs. Hollister, "is
one of our best states The order, which
was begun in Michigan in 1889, with
membership of ITO, now numbers 70, 00I

it. No one will dispute this fact. Yet
every one calls up these things to mind
the very moment he thinks of presents.
Does any one ever make a present OF n
pair of shoes? That would be looked
upon by many as a gilt of charity Even
hats are barred from the list as being
useful-too useful-and the person who
is given one is being materially, char
itably helped, because hat saves
money. No one thinks of giving a suit
of clothes, or anything in he line of
necessary apparel. Neckties are given,
but a man can go without neckties. He
can't go without shirts Of some kind,
though, or a suit of clothes, except in
Africa. He can only do Withou, such
things there, its Fashionable at present.
People will present Q watch worth $50
to $500. and think nothing of it, but they
would net give a suit in charity, though
it cost but fraCtonof the sum. So it
goes with a dozen or 60 other things.
No one likes to thin. that any one else
Will be benefited by what he gives.
People like to see others happy. but not
benefited. y man can be easily made
happy without being benefited. and that
is what presents are for They are
given to provide joy, and nothing more.
Satisfaction is another, quite another,
thing, ard comes under the head Of
charity. Yet we all enjoy giving our
friends presents ard making them

1t may seem incorceivahle, but it Is
none the less true, that there are still a
number of women in the world who need
to be enlightened as to the true signin-
cance of the word DRESS" At wo-
mans meeting the other afternoon, con-
vened for the express purpose of consid-
ering the clothes question and nothing
else, the abuse of the word was flagrant::
striking and genXal. Instead OF
gowns" or "frocks," speaker after
speaker talked of dresses" until at least
one listener longed to let them know OF
their misapprehension of the term.
Dress means attire, habiliments,
clothes in general, and never clothes IN
particular. You may speak of wo
mans dress when you mean her entire
costume, but never when you refer TO
one particular part of it. You might
lust as we'll call her headgear her
'drees" as her frock. 1t is quite as
much a part Of it. A mans dress -
as permissible an expression as Wo.
mans .'drcss," implying, as 1t does, not
skirts alone, but the complete attire.
It's a case of language, no less than
mathematics, sanctioning the PROPOSE
tion that the whole is greater than any

A COSTLY MORNING FIRE
Residence OF DR.. B. Sherwood DrEn
Destroyed by Flames
Building and Coltents Total Loss-Vaiua5ie
Paiatin2s, Brorzes and Tapestries
Consumed-The Insurance

Shortly after the close of brilliant
reception given Tuesday night at the
residence of DR.. B. Sherwood Dunn, on
West Adams street, fire broke out, and
before the department could respond and
get stream upon the flames the entire
structure was consumed, together with
Its valuable contents. 1t was after 8
o'clock on Wednesday morning when the
family retired, only to be awakened
within an hour by the cracking flames,
which, when discovered, had gained
great headway.
DR.. Dunn was aroused about $40 by
his wife, who heard peculiar noises in the
house, and was certain that burglars
had gained an entrance. While the
doctor was dressing he noticed crack
ing of the pipes and fiickering CT the gas,
Jets, which were undoubtedly due to the
heat Of the flames In another part of the
house. Starting from the room as soon
as the door was opened volume of
smoke poured In, and It became evident
that the house was on fire. Hastily
awakening the remainder Of the family
and the servants an endeavor was made
to save some of the costly furnishings
and paintings.
An alarm was finally sent in from the
corner of Adams and Severance streets,
to which the department, headed by
Chief Moore, responded. The structure
was by this time mass Of flames, and
little could be done, the residence and
the greater part of its contents proving
total loss. A number Of paintings,
bronzes, brio brac, and several pieces
of tapestry were destroyed, as we'll as
the Doctors extensive library. Many
of the articles had been collected in
Europe, and cannot be replaced.
DR.. Dunn carries $780, 900 insurance On
his effects, distributed as follows: Ten
thousand in the Royal and $500 each in
the Aetna, Caledonian, Lancaster and
| Aachen and Munich. The residence
was the property Of Hon. w. P. Gar
diner, who is now visiting in the east
and was insured for $250O in the North
ern. 1t was large. rambling struc-
ture, composed of numerous wings,
which had been added to the original
building from time to time, and the
interior was finished in the finest style.
How the fire originated is unknown,
but 1t Is supposed that an overheatei
| fiue was the cause. Chief Moore is of
the opinion that it started between the
walls, and was what is called a blind
fire, which would account for the great
| headway 1t had attained before 1t was
discovered. Several CRATES had been
burning during the evening. and a de-
fective fiue probably allowed sparks to
get between the floor and ceiling or the
side walls.
