THE OLD AND NEW WOMAN.
Suggestion Made to Put Aside the
Golf Stick for the Skillet
CFrom the New York World-1

IErOn the New DIX w OFlu1
Accustomed as the world is now to
radical ideas about woman and Worfl-
ans sphere" it will receive a distinct
shock from the utterances of Mrs vii
liam G. Smaller at the last meeting OF
Sorosis. And as a climax of astonish-
ment not a word of rebuke or even
dissent was uttered either during or
after her address.
Mrs ShaiIer's theory is fairly pre-
scented in these sentences from her
speech:
'Housework brings into play a wider
range of muscle and brain when prop
erly done than any other work 1t IS
a ma gnificent education. To apply syS-
tenn in the home requires judgment,
quickness and accuracy
1t is hardly necessary to comment
upon the dangers of such radicalism
There is an insinuatfng air of common
sense about it that makes 1t partlcu-
larry aIIuring. Suppose it should take
root and grow? Suppose that women
should out to the kitchen instead OF the
golf field for exercise, should put aside
the racquet and the golf-stickS for the
washboard and the kneading-pan,
should substitute for social and pol1ti-
cal economics household economies?
The suggestion is really revolutionary
and points to one of the revolutions
that never go backward. The mothers,
grandmothers of the girls who are now
lin for athletics developed their beau
tiful arms and put useful knowledge
into their heads in the manner suggest
ed at the meeting of SOrosis- But II
is we fear, quite too common" and
bourgeois a fashion to be revived in
even the outer fringes of society"

80 CUBAN POSTOFFICES
Are Now Under Control of American
Officials

Havana, Feb. 2O.-The United States
transport Manitoba arrived here last
evening and the steamer Saratoga came
into port this afternoon.
Following the order of Major ]. c.
Rathbone, issued February 10. the Aneri-
caniZation of the Cuban postal system is
proceeding. Thirty offices, including
those of Sagua, Santa Clara, CienfuegOs,
Cardenas and Matanzas, are now in con-
troll of American pOstmasters. The former
Spanish pOstmaSterS are acting assistants
to the new officials and are being in
structed in American methods The money
order and registered letter system will be
introduced tomorrow.
\ corps of trained American inspectors
began travelling through the island this
week, instructlng the officials in the new
methods.
The construction of the new custom
house in Havana is again being aSitated.
The merchants desire the appropriation of
$4,000 of the customs receipts nu
cleuS of the necessary fund and the addi-
ton of IL per cent to the duty on i'm
ports to obtain the remainder of the sum
needed
The merchants voluntarily agree to the
imposition of this new tax Colonel T. H.
Bliss has not given the matter active con-
Sidera ton.

Two Hundred and Second New York reg
iment at Guanajay have all recovered The

PEKIN NOT so BAD.
There Are Odors But They Are Few
Compared With Bombay or
Singapore.

TPekin Correspondence Chicago Record
The dust of the streets of Pekin- or, as
it may be- the mud, is pretty bad, but,
like most things, it is not so bad as one
is told. AS for odOrs, well, there are
odors, but the wonder is that the odors
are so few when one recollects that the
city is practically without municipal
regulations. Bombay, Calcutta, Singa-
pore are governed with all the machine
~ of English administration. and you
smell them in the by-streets pretty
much as you do Pekin-that is to say,
YOU smell a bad odor occasionally. But,
as compared with the customary Chi
pese town as compared with Canton,
as compared with the native city at
Shanghai, Pelxin is clean. Knock down
the walls, pave the roads, remove the
refuse and you would make it a fine
city.
1t has much the same advantages
that London has obtained from being
city of royal residence The forbidden
city has it's parallel in the open spaces
that begin in kensington Gardens and
extend to Charing Cross by way of
HYDE Park, St James and the Mall In
close these parks with a high wall and
YOU would make the West End of Lon
don geographically like the Manchu
district of Pekin. Make the forbidden
city into public parks and you convert
the Manchu district of Pekin into a new
West End Somebody will do it some
day. The question is whether that some
body will be Monaghan, Anglo-Saxon
or Slavonic.

But it is the responsibility l assume
