during her last visit to the Empire
State to attend by invitation, a ses-
sion of the "Womans' Republican
Club" in the city of Rochester, at the
home OF its president, spretty, black
eyed Mrs Frost. And it was crafty

were its enthusiastic members, fair in
matters pertaining to the ibetterment
of their fellow beings, less favored
than they, apparently wives and
daughters of luxury. Mrs. Frost
gave timely report of how:she had
herself, as president ofthe club, assis-

had come to her for assistance. At

But this, in no way disturbed the
merry Mrs. Frost, who secured neces-

In Chicago the "Servant Girl Pro-

an afternoon out" each month, where
matrons, together with their hired

numerous friends who dropped in to
sample the girls tempting cookery.
1t has proved decided success and
will go far toward settling the long
mooted question Of faithfullness on
the part of the multitude of girls
whose business it is TO work in the

A late exchange brings breezy ad-
vice from an essentially aristocratic
clubwoman from the middle west,
