not fading.

the rules under which it may receive
for hospital and field service any wo-
man able to comply with the require
ments in all provisions but that Of spe-

Not.an the work of the society, how
ever, is the caring for the sick. Women
are needed to cook. to wash, TO sew,
to scrub and to perform numberless
services besides binding up wounds and

are letters to be written home. and there

useful in the Red Cross service.
When called TO the front, the Red
Cross nurse may carry a single trunkful
of impedimenta with her. The uniform
is OF blue bingham, with a white cap
and white apron. AS the climate Of
Cuba is warm, il is suggested that sum-
mer clothing be taken and such as viii

needed.

THE woMAN,s HOTEL.
1t Will Not Be Governed by Boarding
School egnIatiOns.

Harpers Weekly
1t was noticed the other day that the
prospectus of the Woman's Hotel Company
did not state by what regulations the board
erS in the prospective hotel for working
women were to be governed: 1t seems that
the management appreciates the diSad-
vantage of set rules, and intends 10 run its
house without any restrictions except
those conventional ones that obtain in any
WcIl-regulated hotel for mixed euastsi' aft

Of the preliminary committee. of the pro-
posed company, that a houSeful of women
of the classes for whose accommodation this
first hotel is intended-artists. teachers.
journalists and writers, students, and the
grades of clerks earning liberal wages-will
behave themselves quite as well as an equal
number of men, and will not need to be
put under boarding school or institutional
rules. If any guest should discredit the
house, it would be simple matter to term
mate her occupancy, as all rooms would
be rented by the day or week.
While dividends on the stock Of the pro-
posed hotel are limited to 5 per cent, the
surplus profits which are expected are to
be invested in other similar hotels. which
idends, so that subscribers expectations of
income would not necessarily be limited to
the first per cent.
The point is emphasized that the projected
hotel is intended to promote the comfort
and general welfare of working women In
fairly good circumstances who can afford
to pay from Sc TO $12 a week for living ex-
penseS. when the housing of such persons
as these has been shown to be a CONNER
cial success. 1t VIII be easier" writes Sec
retary Kellogg, ito secure the capital with

A deserving class that yearns ceaselessly
for care in New York is composed of self
supporting workingmen with families of a
social turn and Injured to luxury. 1t is to
be hoped that when Mills hotels and wom-
ems hotels abound in sufficient number
this class will get attention. At present it
has to shift for itself and shifts often-on
May /, Sept. l, and at other timeS-without
getting much satisfaction. 1t is the prey
of capital instead of being its beneficiary.
and its normal state is one of distress on
the lookout for mitigations.

This is d straight story" said a grocery
clerk, whose veracity has never been i'm
peached. 1T happened in our store. A lit
tie boy came into our Market-street store
on Monday, and waited for some one to
notice him. He carried sheet of writing
paper in his hand, at which he glanced from
time to time. One of the idle clerks came
to him finally, and the boy. reading from
his paper, announced in a sing-song voice.

pounds of sugar, II pounds of oatmeal 20
pounds of - Hold onr interrupted the
clerk. Not so fast. Suppose you give me
that paper, and I'll fill out the order. But
the boy insisted on calling off the articles
himself. Two other clerks were pressed
into service, and the three proceeded to do
up the various packages as the boy called
them off. He wanted all kinds of things,
and he asked the price of each article as
they went along, making a note of 1t on

clerks called out the price, and the boy con-
tinued, in his sing-song voice, and how
much money does my mother have to pay
for her groceries? One of the clerks count
ed up the total, and announced it as $1S.73.
The boy made note of it and started out.

move was to study in Boston. In this as In
all later efforts, she was seconded BY ner
sympathetic brother Tom who delighted
to secure for his sister the finest opportu-
mites Then while still ia her teens, she
went alone to Paris, putting herself at once
under the tutelage of Madame Leonard,
one of the famous family of the Garcias,
who has had sole charge of the training or
her voice. She was sailing homeward IN
1892 or La Champagne, when Vianesi, the
director of the Paris Opera House, over
heard her singing in her stateroom- he be-
came greatly interested, and this resulted
in her having an opportunity of appearing
as Ophelia at the Metropolitan Opera
House In the same year. 1t will be remem-
bered how she assumed the part on three
days notice, and, young girl of twenty
two, stepped before the footlights for the
first time of her life absolutely unknown
ard unheralded, singing a leading role with
Lassalle and Edouard de Reszke in the
cast Her triumph was immediate. This
was followed by season OF light opera
with the BoStonianS, and | like to recall
how, on appearing III her home city of In
dianapolis, she dragged her bashful brother
Tom before the footlights to share her
honors. Then she returned to Paris, where
she has been steadily working her way to
the front rank in grand opera, making her
debut in London at CoVent Gardan on May
H. 1896, and in France in the following De-
cember, singing in Faust at Cannes. Her
winter months now are given to represent
ations in France and Belgium, and every
spring she appears in London at Covent
