AchicnEo woman. Club.

One of the delightful incidents of our
| trip to Milwaukee was visit to the
beautiful South Side Study club of
Chicago and a day and night at Loyal
| Hall. the unique and interesting home
of its beloved president, Mrs. Edward
Roby. The club, though holding regu-
lar meetings since 1887. was not incor-
porated until 1889. The first elected
president was Mrs. Isabel Pierson. At
the next annual election after the
death of Mrs. Pierson Mrs. Edward
Roby was chosen president, and SO 10y
ally has Mrs. Roby followed the inter
ests of the club she has been annually
and unanimously elected to the leader
ship ever since. Says the club histo-
rian, Mrs. Blanche Gillies, 1T would be
impossible to give any idea of what
Mrs. Roby is to the club, for, more than
leader, she has become the universal
great heart in whom all are united"
The South Side Study club holds all
its meetings at the home of the presi-
dent. They gather at = O'Clock. The
meeting is opened with Our Father"
and the singing of America" After
that the secretary and treasurer report
then each woman gives a quotation,
and. says Mrs. Roby, Il wish the pub
lie could know what really choice quo
tations are garnered up in our club.
After quotations come current events,
and in our current events hour we
yield to none in the gravity of events
discussed. Our women steadily watch
ed the little cloud in the heavens and
saw the handwriting on the wall for
Spain, knew exactly how the Monroe
doctrine applied, knew what the value
of Hawaii would be to us, what was
necessary for Cuba. what we ought TO
do with Porto Rico and Manila, know
what our relations with each country
are, understand pretty thoroughly the
law of nations, the articles of war, rec
ogniZe pretty thoroughly. the difference
between the executive, Legislative and
judicial parts of our government. Aft
err this talk OH current events comes
the real work of the day" The MEM
bers then sit around their presidents
table and discuss over cup of tea or
coffee household econOmics-the price
of things. the way TO make over gar
matters in every way-and the latest
books are discussed. After a pleasant
hour over the cup that cheers they
arise and sing the DoXology.
The handsomest club calendar in the
country is published by this club, con-
tanning fine half tones of every mem
ber.-Clubwoman.

When you are in the really truly"
country for an outing. there are many
treasures to be picked up by the way
side, as one might say, that will prove
happy reminders of pleasant days
through all the coming year.
Above all things search for an old
fashioned garden and induce its owner
for love or money to let you have q
generous bunch Of lavender. This Is
constant JOY as long as it lasts and is
not only TO be used for seeming bed

serves other good purposes as well. A

The Infantn EuleIia.

Infanta Eulalia, because of her di-
vOrce which she recently secured from
her husband, Don Antonio, will not be
able to make her home in Paris in the
future, as she has done in the past.
Hereafter the princess must spend nine
months of each year in Madrid under
the chaperonage of the queen of Spain.
This chaperonage is required by Span
ish court etiquette, which has declared
that all princesses of royal blood living
apart from their husbands should
make their headquarters at Madrid.
The terms of the princess separation
from her husband, a man some years
geous to her. and she has been the sub
jcct of congratulations.
Infanta Eulalia's husband was one of
her own kinsmen, her cousin Antonio
Luis Filipo Maria, prince of Bourbon
Orleans. He was born in Seville in
1866, Just two years after his wife
The couple were married March 6.
1886. in Madrid. After their marriage
the prince and princess made Madrid
their home until the disagreement and
separation came.
Two sons were born to them, Alton
so, who is now Il, and Luis Fernando,
- The prince, who is an infante of
Spain. is lieutenant colonel of the Prir-
cess regiment of hussars and a cheva-
Iier of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
The Infanta Eulalia visited this coun-
try in May. 1898. on the occasion of the
Worlds fair in Chicago. She was the
guest of the nation, representing the
queen of Spain in the Columbus cele-
bration. In New York city a ball was
given in her honor in the Madison
Square Assembly rooms. In Washing
ton and Chicago she received great at
tentions. The Duke of Veragua and
his suit accompanied the infanta's par
ty.-New York World.

The Servant ProbieA,.

Every woman who has had expert
ence and has suffered on account of the
servant problem has her own little the
DRY about the solution of il, although
the world does not always hear about
her particular idea said a housekeep-
er yesterday. Boston suggested the
cooperative kitchen. Utica. in this
state. was responsible for the cooper
ntive wagon that dispensed edibles at
the meal hour. Neither of these ideas
was obliged to protect itself against in
fringement. The Pacific coast recon-
mends Cinnamon. but that idea is not
even as popular out there at present as
IT once was. Chicago became the tar
get of scornful epithet when not long
ago one of its townswomen advocated
the adoption of regular working hours
for domestic servants and recommend
ed a double force Of bouSeworkers. In
London a princess of the royal house
hold instituted a system of prizes to be
awarded to faithful servants who de-
voted themselves for a certain term Of
years TO one employer. New York has
had no ideas to offer except the old one
that any servant outlives her useful
ness every two years at the outside,
and thus the employment bureau and
the Help Wanted column always have
plenty of business.
But Chicago once more comes to the
front with an idea, and this time it
sounds like a good one. A woman en-
ployed a man-just a common, every
day kind of a man-who was out Of
work. She paid him 81 a week until
she taught him to cook. Then the wait

Clara c. Hoffman, president of the
". c. 7. Q. in Missouri, says of Mrs
Callie Hoover Howe, who has recently
begun work for the movement as a ma
tional organizer in Minnesota:
Mrs. Callie Hoover Howe, who will
commence work in Minnesota In Sep
TENDER, was born and reared on a farm
In northwestern Pennsylvania. She
had the usual educational advantages
of the public district school and little
beEond that; as at very early age she
-Tras married.
Soon after this early marriage her
husband died. leaving her a young
widow with a baby son. Alone and
desolate. the girl mother went back to
her fathers house, where for several
years herself and child received the
care and devotion Of her parents.
When Mrs. Howe formed new ties, her
husband was a railroad man, connect
ed with lines west of the Mississippi
river, and for years their abode has
been in st. Joseph, Mo, where they
have established a very delightful
home.

he believed he could make beds, and
sweep. So he learned to do the work
Of the other servants, and she raised
his wages. One day the laundress fail
ed, and he volunteered to do the wash
ing. He said washing was no trick at
all, and so she raised his wages again.
So now he does everything in the house
that it formerly took three servants to
do. He seems never to get tired. and
well, he is pronounced treasure. He
wears white apron and white coat.
and he is neat and respectful, and the
house is run on a business basis. He IS
no theory. he is practical man, earn
ing living. He earns So a week and
has no expenses. That Chicago woman
is unaware that she has hit on a bril-
liant idea"

MRS. CALLIE HOOVER HOWE.

Keystone state, Mrs. Howe was taught
all kinds of work and is a thoroughly
good housekeeper. The first recollec-
ton have of Mrs. Howe was at PertIe
Springs, Mo, where the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, of which she is a
member, holds great meeting each
summer. l noticed the slight. girlish
figure and the rapt attention she gave
to the w. Q. r. L. exercises held during
two days of the meeting.
Afterward l found in talking TO her
that she would be so glad to do some
thing" but could not see what or
where. She was already a member of
the local union in st. Joseph, and be-
fore long she found work in the dis
trict, becoming more aud more interest
ed and more enlightened along the
many lines of our work. l found she
took all help. state and national papers,
and all literature available. The result
was quick development.
Mrs. Howe was made one of our
state lecturers and organizers. We
found she did excellent work in the
state and was often invited into other
states for work. After a little she was
made a national organizer and is one of
the quartet of young women Missouri
is proud of and who have been honored
by Mother National
Mrs. Howe possesses ready wit and
enough magnetism to hold her au-
dience from start to finish during her
address. She has many calls to speak
for picnics and for Independence day
and for organizations which hold out
door meetings in summer.
Her voice, which mellows with the
passing years, has fine carrying quail
ity. and she has thorough grasp of the
subject discussed. Mrs. Howe has de-
veloped very rapidly and has yet to
reach her prime in useful labors.
She is literally the coming woman"
and those who hear her will decide she
has already come.

wom.n md Their Footsear.

Women have revolted from the COM
mon sense shoes to which they went
lover unreservedly a few seasons ago.
Even on the golf links this summer
moderately pointed and dainty shoe
| has appeared more often than the
dumping. bulldog toed. extension soled
caIfskin shoe of last season. The re-
suit isn't rational. but it is becoming
and makes the reign of short skirts
more endurable from nm artistic point
If view.
As for the dress. shoes, they are quite
impossible and altogether charming to
barbarous modern ideas of beauty.
Louis XVI heels of the most tip tilted
sort are to be seen even on so called
walking boots, and the high straight
military heel is almost as impractica
BILE, though not so becoming. Black
velvet is taking q prominent part in
fashionable boot making, and women
are wondering why it didn't happen
before. since the results are so good.
Black velvet oXfords with patent
leather vamps have been popular all
summer. and high laced boots of the
same style are being sold for autumn
wear. Low black velvet slippers utter
ly devoid of ornament are, it is said, to
be the only absolutely correct thing for
evening wear and are not only becom-
ing, but exceedingly comfortable as
well. The automobile shoe, which has
sprung into existence in Newport, is q

plain. fat colonial buckle in gold or sill

riage robe is permissible in an autOmo-
bile. and i'm consequence feet are con-
spicuous and must be effectively shod.
From Swedish Drawing Rooms.
An up town house furnisher is show
ing some exceedingly quaint articles
made by the gentlewomen of Sweden
in their leisure moments. They consist
of various wooden articles hand paint
ed and decorated with various legends.
One peculiarly Of the quaint tankards,
loving cups and bonbon boxes of the
collection is that there is no metal, not
so much as Il nail, about them. The
hinges of the cups are Of wood, and the
joining is effected with little wooden
pins. A long, low, covered dish which
would hold several pounds of candy
was decorated in a conventional pat
tern of flowers, with traceries of burn
ed work. 1t had running around the
cover in Swedish, Il Give My Heart to
One Alone and Not to Many" A loving
cup decorated in soft olive green and
bearing design depicting crowd of
Jolly Brownies was inscribed, He Is
Rich Who Is Satisfied" Tankards were
decorated with the faces of bibulous
characters and had such sentiments as
these: Much Respect Have 1 For Wa

Hint. For the ra1I bride.

Do not inaugurate any departure
from the usual manners and customs
Of the place in which you live. Let the
minister who officiates at the wedding
direct you as to the ceremony, your on
" suggestion to him being that the
rites be very simple. Try when ar
ranging for the wedding to plan every
thing so that there will be a spirit of
peace and calm in the house when the
hour for the ceremony arrives. Let all
jarring, worldly suggestions be Danish
ed during the hour when you formally
pledge yourself to the duties and life
long responsibilities of wife and re
.ceive the solemn promise of protection
and devotion from the man who has
chosen you.-Ada c. Sweet in Woman's
Home Companion.
