WOMEN'S LUNCH CLUBS.
Fair Sex Enjoys tho Privileges o4
TOp-FIoor Dining-Roomsa as
Well as the Men,

Business men are not the only New
Workers who enjoy the privilege of
lunching on the top floors of sky
scraping office buildings. In Century,
Cleveland Moffett thus explains the
circumstance:
1.-The mid-air clubs all have accom-
modations for ladies'; this, too, is
significant in our changing city life.
While women are not yet members
of these lofty clubs, excepting one
of their own, provision is nearly al
ways made for them in the shape of
a ladies' dining-room, ladies' recep-
| tlon-room, and trim lady's-maid in
cap and apron always in attendance.
So that, virtually, ladies may enjoy,
and as matter of fact are every
day enjoying, all the privileges OF
| these mid-air clubs on the simple
condition that they be the wives, sis
| ters. daughters, or friends of MEM
bers. They use the clubs as they
please, order what they please, give
luncheon-parties, dinner-parties, tea
parties, anything they like, and at
the end it is merely necessary that
some one of them sign an author
lied name for the expense incurred.
Needless to add that the familiar
presence of ladies in these mid-air
resorts gives a charm and color
never found in clubs that are merely
masculine.
81 may add that step beyond this
has been taken-a pioneer step, we
may be sure-by a club of wage-earn-
ing women who have secured as their
very own the fourteenth floor, quite
at the top of the tall Downing build
ing on Fulton street. This is the
Business Woman's club, and has the
same fine view, the same advantages
and general arrangements, found in
the mid-air clubs for men, except
that the furnishing is less preten-
tious; for everything here, from the
annual rent of $4,000 down to th..
piano and plants in the reception
room, is paid for by the women
themselves. And I am glad to say
that this club does not owe a dollar
and has membership Of nearly 800,
although it has been in existence
only little over year. 1t may en-
courage other working-women to
know that this fine success has
grown from the efforts of one young
lady, stenographer who in the
spring of 1900 made up her mind that
women accustomed to nice homes
should have, even if they are poor,
better luncheon-places than the
noisy, sitting ones on the streets,
where aggressive walters everlast-
ingly cry, 'Sinkers for two and draw
one!"

BITS OF FEMININITY.
Pretty Features of the New Co.'S
tunes for the Coming
SCaAOn.

A number of new gowns shown by
different Paris dressmakers have wide
buckles on the belts. These match the
buttons of the gowns, and vary from
gold to hand-painted miniatures, from
ivory TO bronze, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Chinese ribbons, showing quaint
symbols on gold and silver grounds,
make fascinating belts and collars and
can be found at the oriental shops.
Persian bands and Indian embroidery
both promise to retain their hold, al
though no metal accessories will be
used to the excess that was the case
last year.
An elegant simplicity and caress-
ing limpness distinguish the best of
the new fur collars. The various skins
used for them are in the French mod
els left unstuffed, which gives lit
tie look of having killed and dressed
your animal yourself.
Theater coats three-quarter length
and loose fitting are fashionable made
of white cloth with applique of pale
tinted cloth in medallion effects.
The white felt turban, low and broad
in effect, is one of the new millinery
fancies. A turban of this sort tse-
quently has for its trimming one large
bird. with its outstretched wings she w
ing decided touch of black.

WAR IN THE FUTURE.
1t IL Rapidly Being Drawn Into the
Field of Exact
Sciences,

All this elaboration of warfare
lengthens the scale between theoret-
ical efficiency and absolute unpre-
paredness. There was time when
any tribe that had men and spears
was ready for war. and any tribe
that had some cunning or emotion at
command might hope to discount
any little disparity in numbers be-
tween itself and it's neighbors. Luck
and stubbornness and the incalcul-
able counted for much; it was half
the battle not to know you were
beaten, and it is so. still, says H. G..
Wells, in Fortnightly Review. Even
to-day great nation, it seems, may
still make it's army the plaything Of
it's gentlefolk, abandon important
military appointments to feminine
intrigue, and trust cheerfully to the
homesickness and essential modesty
of its influential people and the SIM
pier patriotism of it's colonial de-
Tendencies when it comes at last to
the bloody and wearisome business
of "muddling through" But these
days of the happy-go-lucky optimist
are near their end. War is being
drawn into the field of the exact
science. Every additional weapon,
every new complication of the art of
war, intensifies the need Of deliber-
ate preparation and darkens the out
look of nation of amateurs. War
fare in the future, on sea and land
alike, will be much more nesided
than it has ever been in the past,
much more of foregone conclusion.
Save for national lunacy, it will be
brought about by the side that will
win, and because that side knows it
will win. More and more it will have
the quality of surprise, of pitiless
revelation. Instead of the see-saw,
the pickering interchange of battles
of the old time, will come swiftly and
amazingly blow, and blow, and blow,
no pause, no time for recovery-dis-
asters cumulative and irreparable.
The fight will never be in practice
between equal sides, never be that
theoretical deadlock we have
sketched, but fight between the
more efficient and the less efficient,
between the more inventive and the
more traditional.

In 1741, records show, apples were ex-

According to number of well-known
art dealers, fiourishing industry is

gus paintings to rich Americans,
among whom the cture-buying habit
has grown greatly during the past few
years. Several French artists whose
work is popular in America purpose
aiding the dealers to uproot the fraud

now increased to the proportions of
wholesale robbery, involving one or two
houses that have hitherto been consid-
cred respectable.

export market for apples, six figures
now being needed to mark the cost
of the apples she yearly buys from
us. Germany is fast increasing her
demand for this fruit of ours, but
Great Britain yet leads as buyer Of
the American apple.
The greater part of the apples ex-
ported are grown in the eastern
states; though the Mississippi valley
contains great apple orchard dis
tricts, and the Pacific coast is coming
to the front with what was the old
time fruit of New England.
About 20 of the 1000 varieties OF
apples grown in America are export
ed. The ten principal export apples
we give below. The Baldwin, fa-
vorite. is bright, pretty apple, keeps
well, is juicy, and has a slightly acid

England; but grows well in Colorado,

of the United States, owing to it's

| Many Americans call the Jonathan

| patriotism so to do; but this delicious
apple got its name not from Brother
Jonathan, but from one Jonathan
Hasbrouck, who was instrumental in
advertising its good qualities. 1t is
both beautiful and good, not rare
combination for an apple. Because
of it's beauty it is much priced for the
table and for an ornament for fruit
stands. 1t sells for high price in
British markets and is great favor.

tricts of the Pacific slope.
The Northern Spy, as the name
would suggest, growing best in the
north, is also great favorite for the
table. The Rhode Island greening
grows best in cool summer climates.
The greening, which is agreeable
either raw or baked in an apple pie,
has held its own for nearly hun
dred years. The rusty coat, or Rox.
| bury russet, is still older favorite,
tracing its forebears back clear to
164e. The Tompkins king is adapted
either for culinary or dessert pur-
| poses, and is large and beautiful ap-

sounds, juicy and tart. The choice
Virginia varieties are especially es-
| teemed.
The pippin, as we have said before,
was the first apple to win the favor Of
our English relatives, exports of New
ton pippins having been made in the
eighteenth century. There is little
| story connected with the introduction
| into England of the Albemarle pippin,

The Methodist Advocate, under the
heading "P1ous Scamps," we'll says:
''Just at this time our country needs
religion that will make a man pay
his debts. Shouting won't settle old

bounce right into fellow and put him

not pay their debts are doing the
church more harm than dancers, for
there are more of them in the church.
