Jane Addams Z . Postmaster.

Miss Jane Adams Of the famous Hull
House settlement, Chicago, recently ac-
cepted a position as )ostmistress in the
Nineteenth ward. She has taken the
place in the interest Of the large foreign
population of that ward. Bohemian,
Polish and Russian Jews and Hungari-
ans, all, Or nearly all, need, in sending
money orders to Europe, some guiding
intelligence better acquainted with
them than the routine official can be
supposed to be.
Hull House, being aware that a great
deal of money has gone astray by reason
of ignorant or undecipherable addresses,
has allowed itself to become a money
order station, and as Miss Adams and
her fellow workers are already very
much in touch with the foreign element
they live among it is likely that order
will now come out Of chaos. The salary
is but 5000 per year and the labor
considerable so that the undertaking is
one of helpfulness rather than for rev.
enue.
II there is any one who understands
Chicago's local politics better than this
slender, dark eyed little woman it
must be the aldermen themselves. She
is q most Intelligent observer of tenden-
cies in the eity's politics and says that
municipal reformers have much to learn
and could very proftably study the
"hail fellow we'll met" system Of the
Observation-Disclosures Record.

Women as an Audience.

A public man recently addressed a
large body of ome His hearers were
delighted and believed that they showed
their pleasure Enthusiastically. After
ward, for the sake of eliciting contra
diction, one of them deprecated their
GOODNESS. To her dismay the eminent
man promptly agreed with her and add
ed philosophically it was only what he
had expected. He had spoken before au-
diences almost entirely feminine, before
audiences almost entirely masculine, be-
fore audiences made up of both sexes,
and, according to him, every woman is a
wet blanket, a noncOnductor OF enthusl-
asm. Four or five men sitting together
would applaud unhesitatingly when
pleased. Men were used to public meet
ings, used to clapping, stamping, howl
ing and kissing their sentiments. The
minute one began it his neighbor took
it up. But when women sat between the
men the communication was broken the
sounds of adhesion or objection wavered,
unsupported, and died at their source.
AS for an audience entirely composed OF
women, it was quite u~nresponsive. III
the hall was small enough to see their
attentive faces, their smiles and shining
eyes, the speaker knew when he reached
their hearts; otherwise not. Yet womea
are the emotional, the sympathetic, the
demonstrative sex. Only they had been
taught from childhood not to make a
noise, to be seen and not heard, to con-
ceal their feelings. Why, III 9theater

eyes at a players pathos, just gently

womcn's Clubs.

The last decade of this wonderful
nineteenth century has witnessed a re-
markable and ~farreaching movement,
the gathering into enc great organiza-
ton of a rapidly increasing number of
women, without regard to class or creed,
for the social, intellectual and moral
advancement of humanity, says a writer
in Lippincott's. The General Federation
Of Women's Clubs was formed at a
meeting called by Sorosis in New York
city in May, 1889. It's phenomenal
growth is perhaps best realized by the
consideration of a few cold statistics
gathered from the report of the CORE
spending secretary at the third biennial
Of the federation. held in Louisville last
May. From this report it appears that
the 1856 clubs and 4 state f~ederations
represented two years ago have increased
to 400 clubs and 81 state declarations,
the latter including owe 800 clubs.
There are, therefore, in round numbers,
exclusive of many smaller organizations
with a similar purpose which for eco
nomic or other reasons have not yet
Joined the general federation, 1900
clubs, embracing a membership of 100,
600 women. In this mighty host are en-
rolled many of our best and brightest
women, from the rocky shores of Maine
to the Golden Gate, from the mountains
of Idaho to the Florida keys.

She Acts as valet.

There are at least four men in this
town who will never be pampered and
"done for" when they marry as they
other three are dyed in the wool bache-
lors. They live in handsome apartments
in the west end, and between them they
have a woman valet. She lisa motherly
looking, middle aged creature, quite
ladylike, and always as neat as a pin in
her attire. She probably does not see
her employers once a month. She goes
to their rooms every day after they have
left them and puts their clothes in or
der. She gets the laundry ready and de-
livers it to the laundry wagon on speci-
fed days. She is there when it is re-
turned, sorts it, sews o. missing but
tons, darns the silken socks, puts the
and regularly once a week she cleans
out the drawers.
When one Of her charges leaves her a
note, saying that he is going to the
theater Or a party at night, she lays his
dress suit out, puts the shirt ready, ad-
justs the buttons, varnislhes S pumps
lin fact, has everything So that all the
man has to do is to put them III. Next
morning they are as carefully put away.
His various suits of clothes are brushed
| every day, ard his valet doesn't have to
be told when they should go to the tai
lor for fresh creases in the trousers and
a sponging Of coat and vest.
A moderate charge per week is made
for the service by this woman, who
makes really a good living out Of her
clever idea of "doing" for gentlemen.

Winter Capes.

A characteristic of the winter oapes,
more or less accentuated by different
makers, is their easy fullness below the
neck portion, although most of the deep
ripple of last winter is absent. Many
capes have darts on the shoulders, others
are mounted like a rufle on a deep yoke,
made as a rule Of contrasting fur with
an additional decoration Of fur tail
fringes and white lace. Great diversity
is noticeable in the length of capes this
season, but the style which reaches just
below and cuts off the waist from view
is the least popular. They are either
comfortable looking three-quarter mod
els reaching considerably below the
hips, or they are mere fancy pelerines
or collarettes covering the shoulder tips,
some with long stole ends finished with
fur tails. Others, again, have a simple
circular shape, with or without the add
ed yoke. New York Post.

The women.s Musical Clubs.

The movement toward the establish
ment of a national federation OF wo-
mems musical clubs is progressing in SO
satisfactory a manner that a temporary
organization is now assured. The chair
man of the committee appointed for the
purpose at the last annual convention OF
the National Music Teachers a~ssocia-
ton, Mrs. Theodore Sutro, has just sent
out an official circular announcing meet
ings for the permanent organization OF
the new association on Tuesday and
Wednesday, Jan. 20 and 90, in Chicago,
and inviting every musical club to send
a delegate and declaring the eligibility
Of all women's clubs which have a
musical department. This is important
news and reflects much credit upon
Mrs. Sutro and her able and industrious
colleagues. The admission Of depart
ment clubs in which one department is
devoted to music is a very wise and
even statesmanlike step. 1t brings into
the organization many of the largest
and most influential societies of the
land.
In the past two years at least l. 200 Of
the great women's clubs Of the country
have adopted the department system
and have made music a regular subject
Of study and work. The new rule will
bring in other types and classes Of or
CARNATIONS. Among these may be men
toned the Clio, which conducts through
out the season a double course, enc part
being literary and the other musical;
the Fenelon, which is historical, liter
airy, artistic and musical Philitseipoma,
which combines philosophy, literature,
science, poetry and music; the German
Wagner clubs, whose object is the crit
ical study OF the literary as we'll as the
musical compositions of that world re-
nowned musician; the folklore socle-
ties, which devote as much attention to
the rescue and preservation of folk songs
and folk music as they do to folk tales;
kindergarten music leagues, and church
choir clubs.
The advantages Of the federation
will be many and important. 1t will or

Is capable of foreseeing the relation tnaC
the various apartments OF the family
must bear to each other for the greater
convenience and comfort of the house
hold, and when she descends from the
abstract to the concrete and begins to
execute what she has previously SO sue
cessfully planned we may look for a new
epoch in home comfort and home attrac-
ton.
The home is the shrine Of childhood's
recollections, but it has too often been
a dark, forbidding memory of formal
discomfort and of things forbidden, of
closed and darkened rooms and of floors
too nice for the tread of childish feet.
1t is only since the mistress of the
household has dared to declare her au-
thority that the sunshine has been let
in, the doors Of closed rooms thrown
wide and romping grounds have been
provided for the children in inclement
weather, as we'll as attractive employ
ment and entertainment'for young peo-
pie of more advanced age, that loung-
ing places have been provided for the
old or weary and the true blessedness
Of family life has been established.
With every step that gives the woman
a more definite and practical connection
with the home building we may be sure
that the beauty Of the home will be
heightened, providing the most efficient
antidote for the temptations that the
world at large holds forth to allure the
rising generation.

One of the most beautiful women at
the court of the German emperor this
winter will be the young Baroness
Sohutzbar Milchling, who made her de-

as Miss Rosita Marston. Her father had
been for years Americsn consul in NAL
aga, and Miss Marston spoke Spanish as
~fuently as English, and five years in a
convent in Paris had made her equally
familiar with the French language.
She met Baron Schutzbar Milchling in
Chicago, and he promptly fell in love
with her, proposed, was accepted and
after a flying trip to Germany returned
to Chicago for his bride. The wedding
was very quiet on account of a death in
the brides family. After a tour through
America the young couple sailed for
Germany, where the baron has a castle
neal Nesselbroden, another in north
Germany near Munden and fine apart
ments in Berlin.

side in Berlin, and the beautiful young
baroness will make her first appearance
at court, and without doubt will be one
of the reigning beauties. She is tall,
with a charming figure, regular fea-
lures, the dazzling complexion peculiar
to American girls, lovely dark blue eyes
and a mass of golden brown hair.
Shortly after her engagement she be-
gan to study German and now speaks it
with ease. She is extremely popular
among her husbands relatives, and in
the autumn the happiness of the young
couple was completed by the birth of a
son and heir, whom they ehristened
Wofgang. After the baby's birth the
baron presented his wife with five ropes
Of magnificent pearls.
She writes oharmingly bright and de-
scriptive letters to her mother, Mrs.
Marston, and seems to thoroughly enjoy
her German life. With the adaptability
Of her countrywomen she has already
identified herself with her husbands
home and makes a charming and state
" young chatelaine for the beautiful
old castles that have for years belonged
