SAVING GRACE OF A HOBBY.
It Revives Hope and Enthusiasm and
Makes Life Worth Living.

1t Revives Hope and Enthusiasm and
Makes Life Worth Living.
GA priceless thing is hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are favorless, barren, al
most hopeless To such ones hobby
may offer the dearest hopes of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily task.
It will at any rate serve to entertain
and give point and favor to an other
wise blank existence" is the position
taken by Carrie. E. Garrett discussing
Woman's Dreams and Hobbies in
The Woman's Home Companion.
"Hobbies have the power to concen-
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
purposeless firtations, building super
. fuous bonnets, reading cheap sensations,
gossiping away precious moments, pick
ing out our friends foibles, dissecting
our own emotions and wishing vaguely
for everything which is attaina'.'. If
the hobby did nothing else but v
these frivolities, it would be al .
humanity.
''Man found out the value of hobbies
long ago. Almost every man who is
good for anything has purpose which
he thinks is quite the most magnificent
one which man could pursue. 1t is no
matter whether it is lawmaking, pill
making or shoemaking, he pursues it
with absorbing enthusiasm and strives
to make the best laws or pills or shoes
Gas the case may be) to be found any
where.
woman has found that it is not
enough to merely look pretty; that love
cannot be her whole existence (the
poet to the contrary Notwithstanding
and that even with the richest plenitude
of gowns jewels and enjoyments life
still needs a purpose. If it is at all a
respectable purpose and pursued with
general zeal, it cannot fail to thrive and
increase and bear fruit.

TOURISTS ABROAD.
The Money They Spend Amounts 90
S7OO,OOO, 900 q Year.

S7OO,OOO,OO0 q Year.
The amount of money expended by
tourists In Europe has, if official records
abroad are to be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister of finance and customs
at Bern detailed statement of hotel
receipts in that country, from which it
appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from SO, 5000 900 francs in
1880 to ia, 1913, 900 in 1894. The entire
annual expenses of the Swiss republic
amount in year to between 80, 900, 900
and 10000, 900 francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter figure),
and it would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels of Switzerland take in
in a year more than the government it
self does
The Swiss figures are not the only
this point a FrenchVecord shows that
every year there are 270, 900 foreigners
who pass from fortnight to whole
winter ON the Riviera. Every person is
supposed to eXpend on an average l, 600
francs, or 5000, i'll the country" In 9th
er words, the foreign visitors spend in
the country every winter the sum of
$54, 900, 000 The English are put down
as contributing one third of this amount;
the French themselves contribute anoth-
er third; Germans, Bclgians Dutch,
Russians and Americans contribute the
remainder. From being poor country
when it was annexed to France i'll 1860
Nice has become one of the richest de-
partments of the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues to hotels from tourists in Paris
show the average number of foreign
visitors to be co., 1t is customary
to estimate at 10 francs, or So, a day
the hotel bills of strangers in Paris.
Estimating at So day each the hotel
bills of 80, 600 tourists and at about as
much more their other outlays it is to
be seen that tourists i'll Paris can be put
down fdf an expenditure of nearly $780,
900 a day.
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in year is probably not very
far from $7O0, 900, 900, and very con-
siderable portion Of this comes from the
pockets, the purses and the bankers
balances of Americans, who are pro-
verbally the most liberal among travel
ers. Russians come second, Brazilians
third. -Exchange.

Three Receptions Given in Their
Honor Yesterday. One by Mrs.

Irwin Oaks" the country home of Mrs

social attraction yesterday afternoon for
those officers and members of the Ma
tional Educational Association who are
attending the convention in the interest
of department sixteen. This department
represents the institutions and schools
throughout the United States for the
blind, deaf and mentally backward, and
it is through the splendid generosity of
Mrs. Hubbard and DR.. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell that the work done by blind
pupils and which is displayed in the
Franklin School Building has been dis
played TO such advantage, they assuming
nearly all the expenses incident to the
display.
The reception given in honor OF the
department representatives was from 4
10 o'clock, and during those hours
guests were met at Cleveland Park Sta
tion by busses that conveyed them to
the Hubbard residence and later returned
them to the cars. AS each wagon was
driven to the por.ico the occupants were
received informally with cordial hospi-
tality by DR.. and Mrs. Bell-the latter
