OF the thirty-seven newspapers In
the American Colonies at the time of
the Revolution several were owned and
managed by women, according to the
Boston Transcript.
The first newspaper published In
Rhode Island was owned and edited
by Mrs. Anna Franklin, and estab-
llshed in 1892. She and her two daugh-
ters wrote the items and set the type,
and their servants worked the print
ing press. For her quickness and cor
rectness Mrs. Franklin was appointed
printer to the Colony supplying pam
phlets to the Colonial officers. In 17T2
Clementine Reid was publishing a
paper In Virginia called the Virginia
Gazette, favoring the Colonial cause
and greatly offending the Royallsts.
Two years later Mrs. II. Boyle started
n paper under the same name, advo-
eating the cause of the Crown. Both

In 1913 Elizabeth Timothy started a

Revolution Anna Timothy became its
editor, and was appointed State print

teen years. About the same time Mary
Crouch started paper in Charleston
in vigorous opposition to the. stamp
act. She afterward moved it to Salem,
Mass, and continued its publication
for many years.

DOMESTIC SERVICE IN CHILE.
rhc Maids Are Much Like Other Girls In
Other Lands.


Senorita Carolina Huidobro, of
Chile, the other day gave lecture in
Boston on the women of her country.
Her account of the domestic service
question is interesting.
"There are two kinds of cooks" she
said. Advertisements read: Wanted,
cook with bed inside or Wanted n
cook with bed outside The latter sort
of cook can always be had Domes-
tics prefer the bed outside because q
cook who does not sleep IN the house
has more liberty. She does not begin
mistress cannot get quite so much work
out of her, and she can steal little
more; yet her services in the main are
satisfactory. After dinner every even
ing the cook comes for orders as to
the next days meals. Even if unable
to read. she will remember every item
of an elaborate menu. She is given n
certain amount of money to buy the
provisions; for everything is bought in
small quantities. just enough for one
day. The cook will only cook; she will
not wash the dessert dishes, for that
belongs to the table girls work. the
table girl will not clean the knives,
for that belongs to the boots The
washing Is all done out. and the clothes
are brought back in from three days to
five weeks.
THE laundress has most winning
ways, and often brings her employer
flowers and candy; but she asks for a
dollar for soap for each washing, and
has to be closely watched. Every SER
want who lives in the house brings her
own bed and furniture. A girl from
the country will arrive with only thin
mattress and one poor coverlet, and
VIII leave at the end of three or four
years with n CARLOAD of goods that
she has accumulated. When several
servants are leaving at once, with their
bedding and furniture, it looks as if
the whole family We're moving out.
THE women of Chile are not of
mixed race. They are pure Spanish,
and of the finest blood of Spain. They
speak Castilian Spanish, and have the
general characteristics of Spanish
women. They are well educated, the
daughters of the rich in private schools,
The others in the public schools. The
Nation offers free education to both
boys and girls, from the primary school
clear through the university; and prom
iSing young men and women are after
ward sent abroad to study from three
to five years at Government expense.

clans in Chile to-day Is DR.. Ernestina

who showed so much talent as a child
that she was educated in Europe by
the State. In Chile no genius is lost
to the world on account of poverty.
"Of late years, with the growth of
educational facilities for women, zeal
for education has sprung up. We have
women doctors, lawyers, authors and
newspaper correspondents. There were
last year in the University of Chile
thirty-eight women studying medicine.
four studying dentistry and eight
studying law. OF the eight law stud
ents, five did not mean to practice.
but were taking law course to en-
able them the better to manage their

The long lace scarf is entering upon
what promises to be tremendous

scarfs of black Spanish lace have been
used in this way on a gown of white

together at the centre OF the bodice in

Later and larger than the already ia
vored rose bow for the hair is the new
rose bow which is equally stunning at
the corsage or on hat. Indeed, three
OF these bows are displayed on some
hats. Most of us, however, would find
a single one would give more chic.
Tightly looped satiny ribbon in a very
pale pink forms the centre, while the
outer, looser petals are of more deeply
shaded ribbon. This gorgeous rose is

then, with a swelling heart and sense
of his degradation he called at her ad-

He found her a woman and remem-

confidence TO the girl who had been

T rs queer how some OF these bright
est. best college fellows fail TO
"land" when the real struggle be-
q gins. Take Ingham, for instance;
he was the star of every year from
freshman to graduating, a football hero
and a man among the many men of his
year. And yet when he left college
and started in ION his own hook" so
to speak, he didn't seem to be appre-
ciated. His mother said he was too
modest his father said he was a
dreamer, and Marie Franz. who had
worshiped him at school. said: "Give
him time; he's a bit slow, but he'll get
there"
She went to Chicago to study music
the same week that saw Ingham in
stalled as a clerk in the Bank of Cres-
ton. \ clerkship in n country bank
isn't calculated to emblazon the genius
of any man, but the job looked alluring
to Ingham, who was poor, and he took
1t because he loved his mother and
wanted to nurture her old age. He
wrote queer, rambling letters to Marie
every week and in answer got words
of cheer, praise and encouragement
She told him that Chicago was the
place" and that half the successful
men might go to school to him with
profit.
When Ingham's mother died he had
a few hundred dollars saved up and
the funeral expenses left him enough
to pay his way to the city. 1t took him
three weeks to find employment. and
then he was bit ashamed of his posi-
tion. Bill clerk in soap factory is
not the situation calculated to thrill
the vanity of college graduate. but
Ingham could have borne his humilia-
tion better if visit to Marie had not
