'The domestic problem has many
phases" said n woman well known in
philanthropic work TO n Tribune re-
porter a day or two ago. Il dropped in
for luncheon yesterday at the hotel
where my faVorite club meets and
chanced to find several other members
there, so we had an imprOmptu and un-
official meeting. The subject of the
Housemaids' union, just organized in
Chicago, came up, and one said that If
the same demands should be enforced
here she would have to board.
Yet it is not unreasonable, the phi
lanthropist continued, Ito insist that
housekeepers should pay So week for
a day of eight hours. The two after
moons a week that they demand are
not so easy n matter perhaps.
1T seems TO me that there is gen
eral misunderstanding among the wo-
men in service as TO the pay they are
really receiving. Ninety-nine in every
hundred estimate only the actual mon
ey they receive, quite overlooking the
fact that they could not possibly get
board and lodging for less than 50 Il
week. That, with a So wage, gives
them IS a week. which is more than
the average factory worker OF sales
woman receives. / am becoming lit
tie tired of the philanthropic craze for
turning all poor girls into milliners and
dressmakers. 1t would be much more
to the purpose if more We're encouraged
to become good housemaids and taught
to regard their employers as having
some rights they should respect One
would think from the lectures that she
is constantly receiving that the average
housekeeper is a hard hearted tyrant.
In my experience quite the reverse is
true. New York Tribune.

Liked Her First Peep.

The young Princess of the Asturias
has gone back TO Madrid delighted. it
seems, with her visit to Paris. her first
little peep into the outside world.
Prince Charles of Bourbon, who at his
marriage was made Prince of the As
turias, is in appearance the ideal
prince handsome in face and stature,
noble in bearing and supremely dis
tingue. On the day of his visit TO the
president at the Elysee a crowd had
gathered, as usual, to see the presidents
guest as the carriages drove out of the
great gate. At sight of the prince
a great murmur of admiration rose and
greeted him as a spontaneous tribute.
The princess has shed those simple, al
most childish gowns that the queen
regent held her TO TO the very last, and
she appeared in the elegance of
young married woman, embellished,
too, by her look of radiant happiness.

as for the man, she would never speak

moment a stranger appears she poses

In the Fashion of Other Days.

Even To the children has the fancy
for reviving old fashions been extend
ed, and now the square cropped hair,
familiar in pictures of children taken
40 years ago and seen occasionally dur
ing the last year, has been generally
adopted in smart circles. 1t is said that
its renaScence is due TO the French
painter and illustrator, BOutet de Mon
vel, whose pictures of children are
highly popular I'm Paris. His favOrite
type is the chubby faced, snubby nosed,
piquant and smiling boy or girl, with
the hair cut straight behind the ears.
If the boy has low forehead. his
head is adorned by what the grand
mothers of the present generation term
ed n topknot. This is lock of hair
rolled and tied into a pun by pudSy
bow OF ribbon. If the forehead is high.
it is more likely TO have fringe nearly
to the eyebrows, cut as square as the
hair behind.
The dress of the same period has re-
turned also. and the fashionable child
seems to be all body. as the waist OF
her dainty frock reaches almost TO her
knees. the skirt being mere ruffie not
more than six or seven inches deep.
A wide sash with n vast bow sur
mounts the skirt. and short white
stockings and "ankle ties" clothe the
little legs and feet. The effect, as
whole, is quaint and picturesque.

Parker used to call St Matilda. died
recently. leaving her fortune. as she
had used her income. for the help of
others. Naturally at this time many
anecdotes are being told of her good
deeds. among them being the assertion
that Miss Matilda found homes for
more than 1000 children.
Generally the Misses Goddard ''came
in n carriage" because they needed one.
Always IL was filed to overfiowing

had purchased at fairs. patchwork

receive such articles, which the sisters
looked over. deciding who needed this
and who needed that. Then they per-
sOnally distributed the goods. They
had GOO poor persons ON their lists, and

tents of four story house belonging

they knew places to which they could
