matter OF general comment and prom
ises TO lead to insistent demands for
their services at all future events of a
similar character. 1t was an immense
success, beyond the most roseate
dreams. The receipts were over $780,
900. The flower stall, where the Ouch
ess of Marlborough and Mrs. Paget
were active, took in $4,000, and the
American stall of Mesdames Mackay,
Ronalds, Bradley Martin and Lady
Randolph Churchill netted $1,5O0. Mrs.
Brown Potter says a thousand drinks
were sold and the tips to the ladies dis
pensing them aggregated 5000. The
greatest success of the Bazaar was the
American bar, at which Ladies Hesketh
and Anglesey and Mrs. Frank Mackay,
all Americans, assisted Mrs. Brown
Potter But the chief attraction of the
bar was an array of smart young men
IN white bar dress customary in Amer
lea, but quite novelty here. They in
cluded the Duke of Manchester, Lord
Yarmouth, Lord Vivian, Lord Edward
Somerset, Lord Henry Somerset and
Mr.. Ralph Pulitzer. They were all in
much demand by fashionable custom
ers and received large tips, lady pre-
senting the Duke of Manchester with a
G10 note ($50) in payment for cock
tail, telling him to keep the change.
The season on the whole is proving
most successful, and the shopkeepers
and dressmakers
ARE JUBILANT.
The say they were never so busy late
in the season as during the present
year, reason given being the extreme
ly fragile character of the dress ma
terials which are now fashionable. In
stead of dresses lasting season, as
usual, ladies are Obliged to have en-
tirely new outfits in the middle of the
season. Money seems in every way
| more plentiful. The lavish entertain
ments- of past seasons have been sur
passed this season, and the sums paid
to singers and pianists for private en-
tertainments are fabulous. Nine. Mel
ba is booked for eleven private parties,
at which she receives 400 guineas
(about $4,000 each. Mrs. Harmworth
has issued invitations to party early
in July at which Paderewski, Melba,
Susan Strong and Cobelin will all per-
form.
The pressure for applications for adj
mission to the International Council of
Women, to open June 26 and last until
july D, has been so great that 1t was
found necessary to change the place of
meeting to the large Conyocation Hall
of Church House. An interesting feat
ure will be the attendance of-Chinese
delegates. The Countess of Aberdeen,
the President of the Council, has been
notified by the Chinese Minister of the
appointment of the wife of Shen. an
attache of the Chinese Legation, as an
official delegate. She will be accom-
panied by an interpreter and two other
Chinese ladies and will be attended by
DR.. Kang. who took medical degree
in America, and Miss Kang. A crowd
of American women of all professions
will be in attendance.
Baroness Won Suttner, who has taken
an active part in the work of the Coun-
ell, has Just arrived here from The
Hague. She said to a representative
of the Associated Press, yesterday even

deplore, as do so many Americans
themselves, the necessity of appealing
to arms last year. But we are not a
peace at-any- price people. We believe
a righteous call to arms is still neces-
