ANDREW CARNEGIE'S WIFE.
New York.

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie once described
herself as "the unknown wife of
great man" Whether this is so or not,
she is certainly the life and soul of the
parties at the millionaire's residence at
Skibo castle, in Scotland.
She is a beautiful and charming wo-
man. a good twenty years younger than
her husband. She is very fond OF dane
ing and is an able talker and entertain
er. She has a pretty custom of enter
ing the drawing room Just before din
ner with a silk bag containing slips Of
paper with the names of the ladies OF
the party written on them.
With a smile, she requests the men to
draw. and in this way each gets part
ner. On one occasion the millionaire
drew his wife and. standing upon a
chair like .an auctioneer pretended to
offer his prize to the highest bidder. but
charmingly withdrew the offer, saying
"such luck was too precious"

W0MEN'S WORK FOR
WORLDS PEACE

mankind TO the end that peace might
blossom throughout the earth.
The work OF furthering the peace
movement has naturally been taken up
by women's societies in the United
States. mainly those connected with the
national council. The international
council is composed of the national
councils of the various countries.
Many women's organizations interest

zealously pushed by their sex. Among
these are the American Federation of
Nurses, whose peace committee woman
