JACKIE PLAYED A REEL
And Roosevelt Hit the Floor with n
Mighty Lively Heel.


Washington, April 29.-Particulars are
Just leaking out of the festivities at Sec
rotary and Mrs. Longs farewell dinner
Thursday night to the president and the
cabinet on board the Dolphin. On that
night the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
the Secretary Of State, the Secretary of
the Treasury and Mrs. Shaw. the Attor-
ney-General. the Secretary of Agriculture
and Miss Wilson, Rear Admiral and Mrs.
Terry, Lieutenant Commander and Mrs.
Gleaves, Miss Jones. niece of the post
master general, and Miss Long comprised
the party.
The boat was Iavishly decorated. a big
dolphin, picked out in electric lights.
swung between the masts. The govern
ment conserva tories had been ransacked
for palms and flowers and potted plants.
The Marine band was stationed on the
deck just above the saloon hatchway and
played during the evening.
After dinner the president learned one
OF the sailors played the fiddle. The
jackie was summoned and the president
asked him II he could play a good. old
fashioned "shakedown." The sailor said
he could and struck up the Virginia reel.
The president and his cabinet ministers
chose their partners and with him in the
lead shook it down" on the deck in lively
style
The only mishap was when Secretary
Wilson, IN turning a sharp corner. fell on
the slanting deck. Everybody laughed at
the secretary and the president shouted:
Get up. you old cornstalk,"
The dance was not strenuous enough for
the president. Two other jaCkiss were
sent for and gave broadsYord exhibition.
Then two more came and boxed three
lively rounds. By this time it was Il p.
u. and the Dolphin put in for shore.

no resides All women over q years OF
age can vote, so the man with many daugh-
tiers often decides a closely contested cleo
ton. Then, again, women are much sought
after matrimonially for they are outnum-
bered by the men two to one. There is no
need for a woman becoming an old maid
in New Zealand except from choice.
The women are good dressers, and the
stvles are nearly as up-to-date as those
of London and New York. But the men are
almost slouchy in their attire and certainly
strikingly m~onotonous. Every fourth man
arrays himself in an i'll fitting navy blue
suit, and nearly every mothers son OF
them wears a soft cap. A portly man Is
rarely seen, and when one does happen
along people stare at him and wonder from
what museum he has escaped,
This butt end of the earth has many
natural wonders, among which is a geyser
that started business only a few months
ago, but nevertheless, is reputed the larg-
est in the world. Its name, Waimangu (the
black water), is appropriate, for its water
is certainly the blackest that can be
imagined. The geyseT's streaming surface
is about 200 by $50 feet. When it erupts
the entire surface is lifted 1000 feet into
the air, and hot, black, s~eething mud and
rocks are thrown about and great clouds
of steam envelop everything. The periods
of eruption usually last five hours and are
very frequent.
The great geyser is near the heart OF
Maori land. Soon il will be the land Of
the Maoris no longer, for they are rapidly
dying of. They are now a peaceable peo-
pie and are proud OF the fact that one of
their number, James Carroll, is a member
of New Zealand's cabinet. The islands
premier, the Hon. Richard John Seldom,
has called this full -blooded Maori 1.-The most
gifted and eloquent orator in New Zealand. -

Just a few more words about this lands
oddities. II you're at work on a building
and fall OF from any cause whatsoever and

Working WOmen's Home

Boston's home for working women, known
as the Franklin Square house, opened last
July, was formally dedicated last Wednes-
day. There are now 266 boarders in the in
stitution and it is expected the limit, 400,
will be reached before the end Of October.
The minimum rate at which a woman
can live in the new house is $3.50 a week,
which includes board, room, heat, washing,
light, use of library, of gymnasium, of
reading room, of dance hall, medical at
tendance and admittance to a course of en-
tertainments which will be given in the hail
of the building.
There has been established a uniform rate
for board of SO a week, and it is possible
for a woman to have a room for the very
small sum of so cents a week, but as much
as IS or 80 a week can be paid for a suite.
which includes a bedroom, small sitting
room and private bath. There are fifteen
of these suites, and in many instances
friends take one together, so that the cost
to each does not go above the average rate,
which is from $3.50 to $4.75 a week.
1t is interesting to note that the women
who have availed themselves of this insti-
tuition are exactly those for whom it was
intended, many being workers of a profess
sional or semi professional grade command
ing fair salaries, and others being of a
more modest class. Among the occupations
represented are sten9graphers, bookkeepers,
dressmakers, milliners, teachers, students,
shop girls and a few factory girls.
The Franklin Square house is the new
nam of the building occupied by the New
England Conservatory of Music for nearly
a quarter of a century.
The central office, administration hall and
the postofice remain as they were in the
dayS Of the conservatory What was the
music store has been fitted up as a waiting
room, and p~rettily decorated with ported
palms.
The music hall, with its $4,000 organ and
accommodations for 500 persons, has been
renamed Haynes hall, in honor of one Of
the largest contributors to the house. 1t is
the plan of the management to have an or
gan recital, a concert, lectures or other
form of entertainment at least once a week
during the greater part of the year, to
which the members of the household will be
entitled to two tickets for each event.
The dining room will seat 300. The small
theater used by the elocution students OF
the conservatory will be kept for private
theatricals and used for small dancing par
ties. For larger parties the gymnasium
will be used.
The surroundings of this new home for
workers are particularly pleasant. The
building itself is a fine, solid-appearing
structure of red brick, with white stone
trimmings, and almost takes enc side of
Franklin square, one of the p]rettiest little
parks within the limits Of the city.
The institution is a self -helping enter
prise. TIL charges at present are as close
to the actual running expenses as possible
and it is the intention Of the management
to use, in some manner beneficial to the
young women, any surplus which may be on
hand at the end Of the fiscal year.

The Gentle Home

Brooklyn Life: Once. on a time a Gentle
Girl came upon a Wicked Snake swallowing
a frog.
How cruel!" she cried Indignantly, and
got a club and killed the Wicked Snake
and set the frog free.
The next day it rained, but the day after
that it was lovely for fishing.
And the Gentle Girl sat all day in a
boat and held a line with a frog hung on
the hook at the end OF it and the frog
was very much alive and struggled beau
tifully and attracted no end Of bass.

at which she dictates is a happy one.
New Zealand postmasters hold their Jobs
plenty long enough fer tradition and coun-
tryside saws to grow up around and about
them. Once a New Zealand postmaster, al
ways a postmaster, for only misconduct
on his part can separate him from his
life's Job.
New Zealand's leading utility man is
easily the postmaster; his Oldest competi-
tor is the railroad station agent. As the
government owns the railroads, 1t demands
OF Its agents that they attend to all the
wants Of the people hat the postmaster
can't conveniently look after. Hence,
when a farmer decides to sell poultry. he
carts a few hundred s~quawking barnyard
residents to town and turns them over
to the station agent. The agent kills 'em,
and dresses 'em, packs 'em in refrigerator
cars, and sees 'em started on their way
to Auckland, Wellington, Australia, or
London. The government acts as the
farmers commission man, free gratis, all
the way through.
The government tries in every way TO
encourage the farmer. II will lend him
money at a low rate OF interest, and sell
him rich land for a few paltry dollars an
acre. 1t even forbids the railroads to
whistle at country road crossings, so that
John Dobbin's easy going mare won't get
frightened and try to run away.
One Of the most unique of the various
governmental undertakings is the santa
rum and hospital at R%otorua, the islands
chief health resort. 1t is for the bsneht
of all indigents throughout New Zealand,
II a man has broken down under the strain
OF too much work, or has contracted a bad
case OF govt or rheumatism, and has not
the wherewithal to undergo treatment, the
government gives him three months of free
treatment in the sanitarium, will free ac-
cess to all the mineral baths. II, at the
end OF three months, the patient is still
in bad shape, he is given another three
months treatment. The sanitarium has
the islands foremost physicians at its
head, a corps Of graduated nurses and
splendid clinical and surgical facilities.
The most famed OF the baths of Rotorua
is the Postmaster's Bath, Its reputation Is
that OF reforming for all time the most
confirmed topper who bathes In its all but
scalding waters. Every New Zealand com
munity has its character who has been
made a teetotaler by this spring. Fact is,
there are not many "drunks" seen In the
islands, and the patriotic New zealandor

always declares, and hauls out statistics
to prove ii, that less spirituous and malt
liquors are consumed there than in any
other section of the world. Perhaps the
Postmaster's Bath Is to blame. Perhaps
the governments edict against bringing
snakes into this snakeless land exerts an
influence. II the government arrests a
circus owner who tries to slip in the creep
ing things for commercial profit, wouldn't
1t also nab a private citizen bent on secur-
ing wrigglers and golfers for mere amuse-
ment's sake?
New Zealand's chief vice is horse race
betting. A dyed-in-the-wool New Zealander
would rather bet on a horse race than
make love to the prsttiest girl in sight;
and the women with peach-blow complex
ions are plentiful down that way. Like
the men, they are enthusiasts over fast
horses and spend their holidays and all
their spare time at the race courses, bet
ting and shouting themselves into a state
Of hysteria. Everybody bets, for every
body, from babes in arms to tottering
grandparents, thinks it's all right and sees
no harm in utilizing the "totalisator.'
The "totalisator" is the technical name of
the New Zealander's method Of betting.

than s., can be put up by one individual
A whole family often gets up a pool and
enters the bet in the name OF a member,
A ticket is issued on payment OF the money
to any one of the several cashiers, who
rings up the ticket on the horse selected
by the investor. The register automatically
adds the total amount bet on that particular
horse, and at the same time records the
total amount put up on all the horses for
the race. This operation is in plain view
Of the public, all changes being displayed
on a large machine-faced tabulated board.
When the horses are declared to be ION"
the machine automatically stops registering.
When the winner is announced by the Judge,
the bettors on the winning horse present
their tickets to the paying-out windows
and receive their proportion OF the dividend,
pro rata, less 10 per cent, Of which amount
the racing club receives s per cent for ex-
penses and stake money, and 2 per cent
goes to the Government Charitable Aid
Fund.
When there are no horse races scheduled
or in prospect, the people seek recreation
at outdoor bowling clubs and in yachting
parties around the coast.
Another queer thing about New Zealand
ers is their universal honesty. Nobody tries

everything asked of
them, and do it cheer
fully, without expect
