New Field for Women.

Another field of enterprise has been
opened to women who are eager to be
independent. 1t Is that Of acting as
private secretary for leaders of fash
lonable society. Few women of fash.
lon have the time or inclination to at
tend to their correspondence with the
promptness required by the rules Of etl-
quette, and. as many of them receive a
large number of letters every day that
require attention, the services of a Sec
rotary have become necessity. The
secretary does not use a typewriter.
Society correspondence is not machine
work; 1t Is all done by hand and pen.
tary should use shorthand. The secre-
tary opens the mail in the morning and
arranges the letters In their proper or.
der. When madam is ready, the secre-
tary reads the letters to her and notes
on the margin of each the nature of the
reply that Is to be made. Madam mere
" remarks accept" decline previous
engagement" or indicates by a word
or two her wishes. The wording of the
replies is left to the secretary, who,
therefore, must be familiar with the va
rious forms of polite phraseology and
must write an aristocratic hand" The
work Is not arduous aud the pay Is fair
ly good. 1t is pleasanter on the whole
than Office work. Intelligence and tact
are the chief requisites and there must
be no mistakes. -Philadelphia Press.

STAGE GOSSIP.

Nine. Nordica's first performance this
season of Brunnhilde was a triumph OF
vocal and dramatic art that may well
rank with her Isolde and Aida (says Hill.
larry Belly. The faults, principally those
of INDIGESTION and misplaced emphasis
which marred her first efforts two seasons
ago, have now disappeared, and, after q
year of hard study, Nordica comes back
to us with Brunnhilde that can be sur.
passed only by Lilli Lehman, and equal
ed by no other dramatic soprano. The
enthusiasm created by her performance
last week in "Siegfried" rendered dull by
comparison all the demonstrations of the
season; and, although it was midnight
before the opera ended, the audience re-
manned to reward our prima donna fol
her remarkable effort. Lillian Nordica
has now reached the goal of her ambition
She has triumphed as Aida, Verdi's most
difficult role; as Isolde and Brunnhilde
the greatest characters of Wagner.
The Bostonians have just brought out
in Chicago a comic opera called 'Ulys
ses," which travesties the doings of the
Olympian gods. The critics are unani
nous in calling it failure.

Favor. woman,s Suffrage.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. s.-Albany is the
center of suffrage agitation.
The female advocates and opponents Of
woman suffrage were wrought up oyer
Governor Roosevelt's message, in which he
advocates gradual extension of suffrage to
women. There was great perpleXity among
the ladies interested as to what the gov.
ernor really meant.
To an Associated Press representative
the governor tonight said that what he
meant in the message was gradual ex-
tension of suffrage to women. How far to
extend it he is not certain. He believes the
condition of a large number of women
could be bettered. He is not sure that
legislation can accomplish much, but if il
can do little he is willing to try it
Woman suffrage has worked well in the
school district in which Oyster Bay is sit
uated, and the governor thinks it may
work we'll elsewhere.

Manila,s House Reptiles.

One feature of the houses in Manila
which is rather hard to get accustomed
to is the presence of the great number
of lizards which crawl around the cell
ings of the rooms at night. They are
harmless, but the thought that they
may occasionally lose their grip and
drop down in ones face is not calcu-
lated to make them welcome members
of the household. There are many
scorpions about, but they keep exclu-
sively in the dark corners of the house
and yard and otherwise behave them
selves we'll. 1t is said that nearly all
the older houses are populated with
house snakes, which wage a relentless
war upon the rats; but so far l have
not found any beneath my pillow OF
seen any wandering about.

OLDEST DOCK IN LONDON.

South Bank of Thames Once offered
Sole Accom- mediation to chipping.
The oldest dock In London and the
FIRST that was built In Great Britain Is
now known as the Greenland dock. 1t
Is situated on the south bank OF the
Thames. Until the early part of the
present century this dock, with d linn
tied length Of quays, offered the only
accommodations for shipping. The
space was inadequate and the river was
often blocked up with vessels. The
merchants determined to Improve the
situation and the West India docks
were commenced In 1900 and COM
pleted five years later. During the
same year the London dock. which had
been commenced in 1902. was opened,
The East India docks were commenced
In 1903 aud completed three years later.
| These Increased the water area Enclosed
by the docks by 1865 acres. but Eve
years later the Surrey docks, adjoining
the Greenland dock on the south side
of the river, with an area including the
Greenland dock of 100 acres, were be-
gun land in 1915 they were completed.
| The two systems are now owned by the
Surrey Commercial Company. The
| West India docks, three In number,
were built to accommodate the West
India trade. The East India docks are
| two in number and the Ave docks have
combined area of 126 acres. with five
and one-half miles of quays. The Lon
don docks were built In opposition to
those of the India companies. The
| western dock has an area of twenty
acres. The st. Katherine docks, two
small basins of ten acres, are the high.
est up the river. being just below the
tower. They were opened In 1928.
The idea that governed during this
earlier period Of dock building was that
1t was better to be as near to the city
as possible. but experience proved II to
be wrong. The river was crowded
with small craft. The London company
determined upon the construction Of a
series Of docks below those Of the East
India Company. The Victoria dock
with an area Of ninety acres, was open
ed In 1855, and the Albert dock with al
area of eighty-four acres. in 1880. The
main Victoria dock Is 5000 feet long
and 1850 feet wide. The Albert dock
is connected with It by passage eighty
feet wide, and tire two together have
six and seyen-elghths miles Of quays
The Victoria dock has castiron wharf
ing, with concrete backing. while the
walls of the Albert dock are built Who'll
ly of concrete.
The Albert dock soon attracted thu
larger class of vessels. The East ant
West India Company met the move by
constructing the Tllbury docks farther
down the river. There Is tidal basir
of nineteen and one-quarter acres; {
lock connects this basin with the malr
dock 1000 feet long and GOO feet wide
There are three branch docks and /
coallng dock.
These are the'prlncipal docks Of Lon
don. This brief review of their histor!
shows that the people of London dlt
not stick at any expense to maintain
their commercial supremacy. Thes'
docks have been built by private com
panies, who did not hesitate to expen(
many millions of dollars In their con
gtruction.-San Francisco Argonaut.
