week for rooms, board being extra.
 In other words, it is meant for pro- fessional women, journalists, mani cures, translators and the like. When one woman is banging her typewriter and another teaching singing and an- other instructing a class in gymnastics, the new women's hotel will be as live ly as circus. The greatest hardships in the Stewart hotel was the prohibit tion of pianos, but perhaps building full of pianos will be even worse than one without any.
 How much easier to do things for men! Mills hotel No. l, for instance, is magnificent success. A man may live there in perfect comfort for less than one dollar day. 4 good meal can be bought for from ten cents upward. The hotel is perfectly clean. No one need feel that in living in it he is re- ceiving charity; for, though the main motive of Mir. Mills in founding it was undoubtedly a desire to do poor men service, the hotel pays fair profit.
 If the women's hotel does as well financially, it will not be solving prob lem of poverty. It will not aid those- the very poor-who most need aid.

began to talk shop, for she was in trouble and was looking for some one 10 assist her. She had promised to buy some knickknacks when in Paris to send to her home friends, and she nei- ther knew the rounds of the shops nor could she speak the language. offered at once to assist her, and we planned a shopping expedition for the next day.
 1t is remarkable how easily one can distinguish an American woman on the streets of Paris. Not by face or her actions so much, althoG both are characteristic enough, but by her dress. l do not wish you to understand that the American women are not as stylish as her French sisters. But the esthetic style of her dress, so common in both America and England, will never take here. True, these styles were many

embroidered in natural colors, scat tered over it quite carelessly. Another was pale pink, with a delicate vine in pale green and deep pink and white spray-Iike flowers wandering across it. Another had blood-red border about one-eighth of an inch wide and a red shield embroidered in one cor- ner, while around the shield was a fine white vine. Still another, which the salesman assured us was quite the chicest thing in the store and was very expensive, had tiny wild roses, without stems, scattered over 1t. The little roses were of delicate shade of pink, and the handkerchief was hemstitched, very narrow and edged with drawn work The salesman said it was quite new, but my friend said she had seen the same thing in the states several months before, and do not doubt that she was right, for Paris is not above copying anything that is beautiful and then claiming it as original
 In gloves we found all lengths for evening wear, as the length of the sleeve regulates the length of the glove. Some of them ran as high as 24 to 30 buttons. The proper colors are white, pearl and light yellow, with self-colored stitching.
 In evening hosiery we saw pro- nounced plaids and Roman colors in silk, or open stripes in combination with plain silk stripes showing fancy black stitching, and in the finer grades there is real lace insertion, in some of which the whole instep is composed of duchess lace ending in a point at the ankle.
 In veils the newest thing is thick Chantilly lace, with huge, heavy, close ly-strewn patterns, through which the features can scarcely be seen. These, the salesman explained, were intended to be worn with the hair dressed in our grandmothers' style, puffed over the temples, and held up just behind the ears with side combs from which two or three ringlets drop.
 What woman could go through Paris store without looking at the gowns and wraps? We couldn't. Among the pretty things in this line was an opera cloak of black cloth, trimmed with white lace and bands or ermfne.
 When I parted from my friend at her hotel in the evening she. gave me little package in which was one of the hand kerchiefs she had purchased. She was kind enoughto sag that she wished me to keep it in remembrance of what. 10 her. had been very pleasant day My handkerchief has narrow hemstitch, and in one corner is a little bunch of -iolets. It is very chic.s and then you know yiolets are quite the rage at pres mi. SADIE MERRTTT.

of them originated by the. Paris dress makers. but they were not for Paris women. Subdued tones and clinging draperies, which are popular with the American women, do not at all suit the French women, whose piquant style re- quires toilettes of the dashing order both as regards cut and color. In ma nipulating the latter almost every Parisienne is herself ar artist, depend ing not at allupon ntheinspirations of the conturiere. Even the workgirls who troop out hatless and happy into the Rue de la Paix at the luncheon hour know exactly what color and how much of it is becoming to their particular style of beauty. They are gowned in black, as rule, and the color takes the form of cunningly twisted neck tie. A ribbon twisted twice round the neck and forming a sailors knot in l:ont is the most popular form of neck tie adornment. Sometimes a "consul" collar of fine batiste Is placed on the ribbon. when the effect is even more dainty.

But of our shopping expedition. We started early the next morning and shopped all day, just as women will. without buying much of anything. In fact, my new friend was rather disap- pointed when I left her at her hotel in the evening, and declared that Paris stores, even such as the Bon Marche. the Magaque du Louvre, the Printemps or the Trois Quarters, could not in any way compare with the great shops to be found in any of the large cities of the states, and l, as an American, heartily agreed with her.
 ltwas handkerchiefs that she wanted first, and expressed a preference for some with real lace, but they could not be found. But there were others quite as pretty as any lace ones could have been, and much more seryiceable. One of those which we saw was of batiste. he1nstitched, and had three or four. clover leaves, about natural size. and

mountain in Lenox, Mass. There are in that vicinity many costly country places of 400 or 500 acres eacn, and few that pass 1000, like the Whit ney estate and that of Anson Phelps Stokes.
 You can't buy high lying land within eight miles of Lenox village for less than $1,0o0 an acre. The same is true in Hampstead. Land which few years ago I could have bought for $2o an acre has gone up so that it gives man a crick in the neck to look at it.
 Miles matter nothing to these play farmers, with their stables full of fast horses. The Hampstead colony is fond of horses. It has several race tracks at hand and the Roekaway hunt fur nishes plenty of riding after the hounds.
 Nearly all the Hampstead cottages are low and rambling, and try to look as much Like farmhouses as their enor- nous size will permit. The colonial is this years fashion-no knowing what will be next's. Take Washington's Mount Vernon from the Potomac banks and set it down in Hampstead; it would look like it's eighbors-except that it would seem terribly small.

the climax ill organization of the moral forces of society by women"
 Mrs. Sewell explains the purpose of the national council of women is to bring into relations of mutual intelli- gence and sympathy all existing na- tional organizations, for two purposes. First, to increase the sense of harmony among them Second, to diminish that duplication of work through which much money and force are wasted.
 The programme for the coming con vention is divided into three parts. First. Report of progress since the last triennial meeting held in 1895, along all of the lines represented in the eoun- cil. These will be grouped and arranged under the following heads: Education, philanthropy, industrial progress, re- ligious growth, growth in civil and pc litical rights. Second. The woman's point of view on large questions now confronting the public mind, such as the policy of expansion, the czar's con ference called in the interest of dis armament and the conditions in Ha- vana, Cuba and the Philippines. Third. International relations of the council and the international councils quin- quennial meeting 10 be held in London next June.
 The subjects that will be discussed are as follows: Suffrage" Christian fly as Related to Sociology" Methods of Missionary Work in the South, Good Citizenship "The Status and Condition of the Women of Hawaii" Child Culture and Training; the Care of Defective Children" "Is Expansion for the Best Good of Our Country? ?'
 What Women Have Done in Fraternal Life Benefit Societies, Equality Pat ent Conservator of Human Rights, Prison Reform in Behalf of Women Criminals, .srhe Message of the Ma aonna,' "Woman's Right of Choice, possibilities of Women" Scientific slnyentions by Women" Which is of tue Greater Value to the Nation-the nfaln or the Heart ?" Best Means of 1qhee-Natal Improvement of the Human nsart Race, ' Compare the Contempo- ra ass Church and It's Standards with the Asafeh in the Days of Christ and the Iga, Igppshes," ;" "Is the Church Universal a .p n. or Hindrance to the Develop Enof Womanhood?''

B.; Lady Thompson Derwent lodge, Miss Edgar, Toronto, Can.; Mrs. E. J. Archibald, Halifax, N S., and Emily Cummings, To- ronto, Can.
 Regarding probable legislation Mrs. Sewall said:
 ..We don't undertake to predict what will result from the subjects discussed. We will attempt to secure equal pay for equal work, an amendment to the divorce laws and the care and suste- nance of dependent children"
 Arrangements have been made for large number of prominent speakers, among them being Miss Susan B. An thony, of Rochester, N. Y; Mrs. Cor della Cook, of Washington; Miss Mary Hampton Lloyd, of Chicago, and Mrs. Ida NJ. Weaver, of Boise City. Idaho. Mrs sewall will also deliver an address besides the one she will deliver as presi- ident.
 Have the womeE assisted much in the revision of the creeds of the various churches? was asked.
 '.No," replied Mrs. Sewall, "but will sooner or later. 1 believe it essential that women should assist in revising the creeds."
 "How many and what lines of work are represented by the organizations now forming the council?'' 1 asked.
 .Seven-religious, industrial, profes- sional, educational, moral reform. so- cial reform and civic reform"
 Asked as to the progress made in the movement for suffrage, Mrs. Sewall said:
 '~rhe council does not work for sui frage, though the National Women's Suffrage association is one of the mem bers of the council. The remonstrators and anti-suffragists would be just as welcome as the suffragists."
 Mrs. sewall says the council takes no interest in politics. The Republican Association of Women belongs to the council, but if a democratic association should be admitted it would be accord ed the same privileges given the repnp- liean. The council is nonpartisan. CHARLES R. TRoWBRIDGE.

T GOT back to dear, gay, old Paris
 from London just in time to accept u an invitation to an informal re- ception given by one of the ladies of the American colony, and am ever SO glad that 1 did, for l met the sweetest little lady there who had just arrived from the states. For an American girl in Paris who is in love with any and every thing American the pleasantest mo- ments of her existence are when visit ing with some one from home. Not that the lady I met was former acquaint- ance or even came from my own city or state, for her home is in the far west, while I am "a down-east Yankee" but to an American in Europe any one from the states, no matter which one of the many, is from home.
 The little lady and her husband were encireling the globe and were to remain in the French capital but few days. After we had been introduced we soon

think of him as
 a Hercules; glance at the face, with its weak, irresolute outlines not wholly concealed by white beard, would cor rect the impression.
 The man is Sir Tatton Sykes, heir to 35000 Yorkshire acres which pay him tendollarsp per year per acre, and hero of the strangest legal scandal in England in recent years. It was Sir Tatton's pretty wife, many years younger than himself, whom he accused of forgery. and actually brought to trial in 1897. Lady Sykes had been speculating in stocks-among other faneies some min ing shares sold to her by D. O. AIills of New York, her brother-in-law, figured but the judge thought the evidence sufficient that Sir Tatton had signed his wife's checks, as she claimed. Never theless, another suit was brought last year.
 The fact is, Sir Tatton seems eccen- tric; he was in his youth great sports man; now he is a gloomy old man, who speaks to no one and has religious no- tions rather out of the ordinary He does not seem to be getting much en- joyment out of his New York visit.

they go into the restaurant and, by a careful scanning of the bill of fare for the cheapest items, lunch comfortably for about 75 cents each.
 The last time I was in the place-and l go as seldom as possible-I saw a man dragged along the corridor by his wife !; one of those poor fellows who are occa- sionally made to dine there by women who want to see the pretty gowns and the famous people. He looked bored. All at once his face frightened up and he seized the hand of a goed-looling man in evening dress, who stood near by, and shook it heartily, somewhat to the others surprise.
 The mans wife jerked him angrily away. Don't you know any better than to shake hands with servant ?" she seolded.
 Don't care if he is a servant" the man replied, with momentary show of independence; I'm too darned glad to see anyone here I've ever seen be- fore"

his scoufse It would be odd for a millionaire husband to leave his wife while he trotted over to the classroom to do sums in comic sec tions.
 The estate purchased for the young man includes the Harbor hill, at Ros- lyn, shrine for lovers of Bryant's verse. This hilI the highest on the island, was his favorite outlook, and many of his poems were composed amid its fine forest of chestnut trees. His family is still represented in Roslyn by the Parke Godwins, and fine me morial clock tower commemorates him on the village square.
 Very different from the old intellec- ualregime of Bryant will be the new or der. A house as big as a car barn will crown the hill. The public will be kept off by fence, "horse-high, pig tight and bull-strong." (Fences are a fam fly weakness of the Yanderbilts. The fence about this young mans mothers Marble House" in Newport is famous.) Other places of great size will be built i'll the neighborhoed The sturdy na- tive population will be turned into a lot of fiunkeys lowing for tips.
 The Hampstead colony is pretty big; the town covers 20 miles from Roslyn on the sound to Wave Crest and Law renee on the sea. MT. Whitney's great place, with it's private race track, and Col. Roosevelt's country house are a little to the east of the heart of the colony The broad acres of the Bel monts are in the middle of the town Here, too. is the house to which Clar- enee Mackay, son of a plain miner who made his pile. brought his bride, scion of the Duers, an old and proud New York family.
 Miss Duer was almost the only young member of high New York society who has shown any literary gift. Her poems are excellent. The Buers are by no means wealthy. A newspaper man now rents and occupies their little New York home. If one has birth and brains, New York society does not al ways insist upon the possession of vast wealth as a condition of admission to the inner rings.
