pears that there are 14O branches and some
fifty Institutes and homes In London alone.
There are departments for assisting young
women to emigrate. for helping the deaf
and dumb, for providing employment, and
for many other purposes.
There are in all some 1900 members, a
large number Of whom are attached to the
twenty-three institutions scattered over the
metropolis. There are some twenty Eight
homes, several Of which can accommodate
sixty bOarders, most OF them engaged In
business. Numbers OF them, however, are
artists, lecturers, nurses and teachers. In
one OF these homes no fewer than 1,GO
women were boarded in the course OF one
year. And the work Is growing heavier
every year.
Pathetic Figure.
The Empress Eugene Is just now stay
ing at Cowes on her yacht, the Thistle.
She is often to be seen In her bath chair
on the promenade, and a pathetic figure
whom almost every one salutes.
The other day, as she was being lifted
from the boat which had brought her
ashore from the yacht, one Of the men al
most slipped. The empress was evidently
much shaken, but sent at once to inquire II
he was hurt himself She speaks English
huently, with hardly any accent, but there
is something foreign about her appearance.
Her snow-white hair and big, black, shady
hat gives her the look of an old picture.
When she paid her visit to the queen at
Osborne On Friday there was a small but
respectful crowd to see her embark. Two
of the royal children in pretty sailor suits
kissed her hand, and she was evidently
charmed by such attention.
