THREE WOMEN OF QUALITY
IN MODERN JOURNALISM

DeVere was a man OF no ordinary abili-
ty, possessed of marked individuality.
He was interested in all questions ap-
pertaining TO land reform and for many
years one of the best known agitators
of the Irish question. His associations
were with men of literary, philanthrop-
ic and humanitarian tendencies. and
from him. perhaps no less than from
her mother. a woman of true Irish wit.

social problems. she received an early
impulse toward the beautiful. the po-
etic-a deep sympathy with the sorrow
full. the oppressed. the unfortunate.
A child of S years, her little mind be-
gan to find expression in rhyme. Like
Pope in this regard. she '.lisDed in num-
bers, for the numbers came" and at the
age of II she had the pleasure. for the
first time. of seeing some OF her verses
printed in New York newspaper.

Miss Bridges commenced her educa-

Decorate the Schoolroom

While we build structures that are
pleasing from an architectural point of
view and modern in their hygienic de-
vices. we are apt TO give too little at
tention TO the attractions OF the school
room itself. Bare walls save where the
forbidding blackboard is hung. are the
boundaries OF the pupils vision. no
thought being given 60 the best method
OF so furnishing the room as 20 make IL
a delight TO the eye and an elevation of
the mind. 1t Is true that there are son,e
exceptions. where teachers have. at their
own expense. supplied bright and fra
grant flowers and appropriate pictures.
and thus beautifed an otherwise cheer
less apartment. Thousands and thou
sands Of children spend several hours
each day in the scboolroorn. and there
is no telling how much they would be
benefited by surroundings which would
appeal TO and stimulate their artistic
sense The cost would not be great. ana
in most cases a few pennies contributed
by the scholars and expended judicious-
Iy by teacher who possesses tact and
good taste would revolutionize the place
where the children now spend the most
receptive years of their lives.

For the Writing Table.

The newest furnishings for writing
tables for women are of leather. And,
by the way, writing tables will be more
fashionable next season than desks
They are spindle legged, of course, and
are enameled or made of wood that
matches or harmonizes with the other
furniture. The pads to be used on these
tables are small. hardly larger than the
square sheets of letter paper used on
them. The backs and corners are of
carved or burnt leather, instead of the
long popular silver or decorated china
mountings. The burnt leather is of
several shades Of mole with elaborate
design, burnt in dark brown. The ef-
feet is dainty and somewhat more femi-
nine than the carved leather. The lat
ter is said to be all imported and there
fore too expensive for a moderate
purse. The inkstands, mucilage bot
ties, sealing wax holders, candlesticks.
pen and pencil trays. paperweights and
the other articles are leather covered
and carved or burnt with the same de-
sign. The blotting paper to be used
with such sets should be mole colored
or brown to match the leather, and
sometimes it has a similar design

fashionable furnishings for desks are Of

inkstands and other large pieces are OF
cut glass on massive silver mountings,
with stag horn top pieces or pen racks.
The paper knives have carved silver
blades, with handles of stag horn, in
some instances also carved, but the
most popular are plain and highly pol
ished. Pen staffs of porcupine quilts are
a novelty. They are silver mounted and
