Among the after-the- stories that
have been going the rounds Is one about
Mrs. Nelson A. Miles which shows her in
a splendid light. 1t seems that on a re-
cent visit TO a camp hospital she was
confronted with a situation quite inexpli-
cable to the feminine mind The sick
were languisbing for necessaries and
proper food while the storerooms were
crowded with boxes OF the needful, con-
tributed by individuals, and which were
piled up unopened because no order per-
mitting their use had come from the War
Department By the legerdemain of wom-
ans wit Mrs. Miles caused the immediate
distribution of those supplies, and after
she got back to Washington applied for
the permit to do what her energy and
courage had already effected.

Women, in Spain.

NTIUHT
Nobody will dispute the fact that misery among
the lower classes in Spain is than it
has been for years back. and the conditions have
been against any improvement since the begin
ming OF Spain's colonial troubles and her war
with the United States Suffering is particularly
intense among the Spanish women. There IS
such business stagnation in Madrid today that
less than onehalf OF the former number of en-
ployed women are now at work. The situation
is best illustrated by the last auction OF the for
feited pledges of the government loan office OF
1900 forfeited articles there were 1900 that
belonged to. women There were but few buyers
OF such articles and sewing machines, for in
stance, brought 10 pesetas (s2). while new dress.

needlework went begging for prices and could
