DIET KITCHEN ASSOCIATION.

ton given yesterday at p. at the home Of
Mrs Charles A Spoford No. $50 West Fifty-ninth-
st. Hamilton Wright Mabie was the lecturer. and
took as his subject ''Idealism IN American Life"
1T is impossible TO understand the popular
movement Of age unless one comes in touch
with H." said Mr Mabie, and for various reasons
our civilization is particularly hard TO compre-
hend In Europe 1t was the case formerly that only
those people travelled who had the means that
with them presupposed leisure and cultivation. But
ell Americans have always been travellers. Wealth
by no means implies culture with them, and the less
educated they the more vociferous when they
go abroad"
Mr. Mabie gave amusing illustrations drawn
from his own experience, one Of which was story
OF man whom he had heard berating porter in
Vienna year ago for having 'Inisinformed' him
You told there q concert there" he COM
plained, "and there was nothing but lot Of
fddling. Now IN my country we don't call any
thing concert except brass band"
The lecturer said that Americans have always
been the cordially detested nationality in the
world OF travel but that lately the Germans have
been taking their place the uneducated Of that
nation travel much more than previously.
Americans" said Mr. Mabie. ARE accused Of
being materalists but the materialist is he who
deals in materials and is satisfied Herewith. Did

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN.

A prominent woman physician OF this city, in
speaking of medicine career for women, said
the other day: Il have known a laugh to spoil a
career. In no place has the personal equation such
value. Success has been won in spite of brusque-
ness of manner, it is true, but it would have come
ten years earlier had the physicians personality
been more agreeable. a laborious gayety, such as
doctors affect is great a mistake as surli-
ness. The cheerful, hopeful yet slightly reserved
nature is pretty certain to inspire confidence in
the patient However. II is character and Skill not
temperament, that really count.
