THE WOMAN COMPANION.
Fair Salaries Obtained, but the Place Not
Easily Filled.

Easily Filled.
1.-THE chief qualifications necessary in
a woman companion are ability to talk
and read Well" said widow of wealth
and experience, of course. the duties
are not confined within the limit have
indicated. Indeed few occupations
present a greater diversity of duty. but
the two I have mentioned may be set
down as the principal. The position is
usually sought as a means of support
by persons who have no training. In
employment bureaus the applications
for such places are sadly in excess OF
the vacancies, and pitiful are the pleas
of some of the applicants. Ordinarily
the post of companion is trying one,
not so much because the duties are ar
duous as because they are not exactly
defined and the companion is not sure
what time she may call her own. But
occasionally the place is a pleasant one.
A bright woman who might have sue
ceeded in other lines, accepted posi-
ton as companion to an elderly widow.
Her duties were to attend to some cor
respondence, to read aloud in French or
English and to be entertaining. She
was an interesting talker and did not
find the art of entertaining any effort.
| She made several trips to Europe with
her employer and had a delightful time
| and held her place until she married.

Bachelor Women Defended From the
Attacks of Foreign Writer.

A leading English magazine not long
ago published an article describing in
detail the mode of life adopted by the
bachelor women of London--women who
earn their own living, have their own
rooms" and clubs and generally pre-
fer a single life. Immediately there
after a noted English writer rushed in
to print with a letter full of indigna-
ton at such a state of affairs Thine
was" she declared, when we should
have fatty refused to believe that wom-
en- voluntarily gave UP their chances of
becoming wives and mothers in order
to live the selfish and useless
life of the bachelor about town.
1t is still difficult to believe that
the bachelor woman can ever be-
come recognized feature Of our social
life. She must ever remain phenom
enon, selfish and self-centered, calling
for the pity rather than the envy of
those who keep to the beaten track
A Philadelphia woman comes to the
defense of her fellow bachelor women

usually Indispensable in.the companion.
The remuneration varies widely. Prob
ably the most exacting positions return
the smallest pay. There are compan-
ions who receive less than $40 a month.
Yet one on such a small salary said
she was happy to earn even that, and
her employer, who could not afford
more, treated her as sister. Fifty dol
lars month is considered an uncom-
monty good salary, as the companion
has no expense for board. I knew one
who received s100 month, but hers
was an exceptional case

OZONE IN CLEAN CLOTHES.
Simple Method of Freshening the AIT
of Sickroom.


Almost everyone has noticed the pc
culiarly refreshing smell of clean linen.
especially when just taken from the
lines and brought indoors. 1t is not so
generally known how valuable is tne
connection between this cool ana
grateful odor and the ozone which IS SO
necessary in a sick room. The LONDON
Loncet, standard medical authority.
contains an article on this subject, IN
which it is stated that the atmosphere
of an apartment may be charged with
ozone by bringing into it damp linen
sheets that have just been exposed TO
a dry, sharp wind Bringing them INTO
the house and shaking them or waving
them about in the air of the room VIII,
according to the statements MADE,
change the character of the air. THIS is
a matter of Importance to invalids, VINO
often became exhausted from lack or
ozone in the air they breathe. A means
SO simple and effective and one that Is
within the reach of every person shoulu

all that is necessary is TO bring the
linen to the room Immediately after II
is taken from the lines out OF doors anu
shake and whirl it about, when the
cbara cter of the air will be altered at
once. Hospital attendants oftentlmes
remark how readily a, patient Will drop
into a quiet sleep after bed linen mas

sheets newly washed and aired.

THE CANADA'S CUP.

Toronto Nov. 19.-It was thought
that the question of issuing a chat
Ienge for the Canada's cup would have
come up at the general meeting of the
Royal Canadian yacht club Saturday
evening. but the matter was not re-
ferred to. II it were the intention OF
the club to issue a challenge action
would have been taken on Saturday
night, as the ten months limit has
nearly expired. Local yachtsmen con-
cede this. They say nothing will be
done TO get the cup back this year.
even if the Chicago people extend the
time limit for a challenge, as they like
ly would do if asked.
The lukewarmness here about The
cup is due to the fact that there are no
yachtsmen willing to devote the time

In order to meet the present demand

Caught Yellow Handed.

A rich American, residing in the st.
Georges quarter in Paris, had been for
some little time past the victim Of sys.
tematic thefts. Bank notes and money
not left locked up disappeared regv
ularly. NJ. Corvette, the commissary Of
police, was informed Of the robberies.
He found it would be impossible to keep
an effective watch on the bedroom where
the thefts occurred, but he adopted a
stratagem which turned out successfully.
"a small vial containing mixtures Of
picric acid and fuschine was placed in a
metal case for holding gold, and few
napoleons we're placed on top. In order
to get out the gold the metal case had to
be held upside down, and then, Of course,
the chemical preparation would run out
and stain the thief's hands bright and
indeibIe yellow. AS soon as some Of the
gold was missed M. Corvette summoned
all the servants to his presence. The
Wallets fingers betrayed him. Realizing
the uselessness of denying when caught
yellow handed, he confessed and was
duly locked up.

HARRISON SNUBS ALT0ELD.

Chicago's Mayor Refuses to Represent
an "Obscure" Committee.
Chicago, July 1S.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison yesterday sent letter to the
committee in charge Of arrangements
for the Democratic meeting at the
Auditorium July 20, in which he de-
clines to deliver an address of well
come. He says: I'm ordinary cir
cumstances should be only too glad,
both as mayor of Chicago and as a
Democrat, to welcome the national
committee or any number Of promi-
nent Democrats to Chicago, but 1t
would be an absurdity to welcomethese
distinguished men under the auspices
of q self constituted committee whose
personnel is too obscure to be known
even In Its home city. Had this meet
ing been organized under the direction
OF Democrats of regular type and
known party standing It would have
afforded me great pleasure to be pres
ent."
When a copy Of Mayor Harrison's
letter was shown Ex-Governor Altgeld
the latter said: II am sorry the mayor
looks at It that way. He has made
grave mistake. He has lost golden
opportunity. Should he come to the
meeting and make rousing Demo-
cratic speech he would place himself
at the head of the Democratic party in
the state. But he lost the chance now"
When Mr.. w. F. Cooling, secretary
of the committee read the mayors
letter he said: I'VE have given the
young man in the city hall the op-
portunity of his life, which he has
failed to appreciate. The son Of Car
