PRAISE FOR QUEEN VICTORIA
Miss HodSkin Lecture To the WoB,-
ems Foreign Missionary Society.

An entertainment consisting of a lee
| ture. organ recital. and reception was
| given last evening by the Woman's For
eign Missionary Society of the District
at the Metropolitan NJ. Z. Church.
MeSsrs. WILDER T. Dales and T. Frank
| Gebest were the organists and the lee
ture was delivered by Miss Louise
| Manning Hodgkins. editor Of the Mis-
| sionary Friend. the title being Our
| selves and our Neighbors."
After the lecture a reception was ten
dered to Miss Hodgkins in the parlors
! of the church and refreshments served
Ladies attired in the divers costumes
of the different nations, acteu as ush-
ers.
Miss HOdekins' lecture embraced a
category of what she was pleased to
call the New Woman" She said she
did not refer to the woman of short
skirts on a rainy day. but the women of
the less enlightened nations OF the
earth. who had broken loose from their
surroundings. educated themselves. and
then devoted their best eudeavOrS 10
enliChtening their race. and raising the
standard of civilization. She referred
to women of India, China, Japan. and
Korea. who were doing a great work
admiration and praise for the success
they were attaining
Miss Hodgkins paid a glowing tribute
TO Queen Victoria. and made special
reference to the festival held in her
honor in June last The clergy in ar
ranging their part OF the celebration.
/. looked through the prayeTbOOk in vain
to find something that would cover the
siXtieth anniversary Of the reign Of a
queen. and they composed a prayer
containing five thanksEiyings.
The first Of these thanksgivings was
for the reign Of a good queen. When
we remember. said she, that Victor
las reign began with a kingdom of
thirty million subjects and has extend
ed until now it embraces three hun =
dred and four million subjects and
eight million square miles Of territory.
it is no wonder that the English peo-
pie offered glad thanksgiving.
The second thanksgiving was for the
progress of human knowledge. This
has increased and developed to an al
most inconceivable extent during this
period.
The third thanksgiving was for the
increase in human comfort. Every la
dy here tonight" said Miss Hodgkins,
came from more comfort than the
queen ever thought Of during her
youth"
The fourth Thanksgiving was: I'VE
thank Thee for the increased kindli
ness between the rich and the poor"
1t does not seem possible that so short
a time ago as sixty years, the rich and
poor hated each other.
THE fifth and last thanksgiving was
the one which has brought us here to-
eether tonight. and which is the most
interesting and important of all, and
that was for the marvellous exten
sions of the gospel throughout the
earth" For this last growth. Miss
Hodgkins praised the Foreign Mission
ary Society for it's past grand work,
and. admonished it's members that they
could do far more; that their efforts,
which were praiseworthy, were capable
of, and should be renewed and increas-

Franchise was the subject selected by
NJ Rene Doumic Of the Revue des Daux

treatment of his subject.
He went back to a very early age in
the literature of his country. When he
reached the plays of Moliere he found
something on which he seemed TO de-
light to dwell and his audience showed
a keen appreciation of his descriptions.

Heres Henriette and her strongly con-
trasting sister Armande gave him am

spirituelle and the home working woman
of the French menage. Agnes of
Il Ecole des Femmes" and her aged
and youthful lovers were naturally 9TH
er characters which he selected to illus
trate the very large place which the
young girl holds in the literature of
France. Louison in the "Malade Tmag-
inaire'' was another. Coming down to
the nineteenth century he picked out the
ingenue, who talks pretty nonsense; and
the factory girl, who talks abominable
slang, as two types worthy of his atten-
ton. He had a word to say also about
the girl who wants a home of her own
and when once she has it, is always out
He closed with a rich tribute to the
virtues of the young girl of his native
country as she is today, pointing out
the fact that she is entirely unlike those
found in French literature and closing
with these words: "She is the best of all

NAPKINS NEVER RETURNED
Episode Connected With RcccI.-
ton TO a Literary Lion.

1t was at a reception given at one Of
the hotels for a distinguished literary
man. The evening proved to be an un-
fortunate one on account of a heavy
rain. which detained many people at
home who had arranged to come and
were expected. When the last guest
had departed, the women who had been
invited to assist in receiving and serving
the refreshments found that the feast
which had been prepared was only half
eaten. and that there was a large
amount of toothsome things left The
men told the women to each take a
part home. The whole had already been
paid for, and there seemed no reason to
return it to the hotelkeeper. So the
stock of cakes and sweet-meats was di-
vided; then the difficulty of carrying
them arose. Tho big napkins were the
only things at hand. and they were ac-
Cordingly used, the women remarkinJ
that these could be returned the follow
ing day. The servants. in the meantime
had watched the proceeding with some
suspicion, but the bundles were carried
boldly out and the party entered the
elevator. preparatory to leaving the
building. What was their surprise
when they reached the first floor. to see
the manager of the hotel waiting to
open the elevator door, and apparently
to investigate the travels which his nap
kinS seemed about To take. When he
recognized the different women. y
twinkle came into his eyes, and he took
in the situation at once and made no
inquiries. But the women have hesitat-
ed to return the napkins declaring that
ii is the business of their husbands to do
ii, and the husbands. hoping 10 have
their wives attend to il, have refrained
for they feel sure that an interesting
interview will occur when the explana-
