Mrs. Thomas Hastings. who has be-

Miss Helen Benedict. and. like all Of
that family, she is fond of sports. Any
thing from polo to dogs interests her.
Mrs. Whitney has similar tastes. Mrs.
Hastings predecessor as chum of Mrs.
Whitney was Mrs. Herman B. Duryea,

Europe. When she returned her place

Before this Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt Jr.,
Mrs. Whitney's cousin by marriage,

bosom friends. for a time. Mrs. Whit

Education in ItaIv-

Byron called Italy the woman ma

noble, beautiful and sanity women
tnat sweep through the story of her
past, from Roman matrons of Cor
nella's mien" to the wise and sanity
Catherlne of Sfena, and from Victoria
Colonna to the heroic wife of Carl
baldf. This Italy of the past presents
a striking contrast to the Italy of to-
day, according to a writer in The La
dies Field, for the women of the
woman country" are now of very Ht
tie importance, with few opportuni-
ties for education, usefulness or enjoy
ment.
The educational opportunities Of
fered to Italian women have made
considerable progress, but the upper
classes are still largely educated in
converts, where the instruction is said
TO be extremely narrow and old-fash-
loned The scheme of national educa-
ton is also very poor, and the inter
neolate schools are Inadequate in
quantity and quality, but several of
the large towns have superior normal
schools, with scholarships, and MANY
daughters OF the middle classes are
educated here. Excellent technical
schools for girls of the working class
are now maintained in many Italian
cities, partly supported by the state
and partly by the patronage Of aristo-
cratic women. In these a thorough
training is given in drawing for trade
purposes and in manual and domestic
arts, such as embroidery, artificial
mower making, dressmaking, laundry
work, etc., and hundreds of girls an
solutely perfected in one or more
trades are graduated every year.
There are no universities specially
Tor women, and though those, for men
nave been opened to both sexes. Dar-
ents object to having their daughters
educated in this way. 1t is the same
with schools of art. Still, the number
Of women students increases every
year, and year by year there is grow.

OF women. Those who obtain medical
degrees are gradually overcoming
prejudice and increasing their prae-

ing some prominence. Many take up
educational work, and a good MANY

wretcled.
With the exception of a few great
families, Italians are miserably poor.
AS the girls grow up they have one

however, a dowry is indispensable,

sometimes not more than $3.50 or $500.

At almost every dance in the gym
nasium of Columbia a certain piquant
little blonde has been on the floor from
the nrst dance to Home, Sweet
Home" She Is Miss May Brown, and
she lives In HARLEM. She is as much a
fixture at these college dances as the
musicians, and she enjoys each session
as much as If 1T were her first time In
ballroom. Miss Brown is pretty and
dresses. with marked simplicity. Her
frocks just escape the ground, so that
her dancing is not impeded by efforts
TO mold up the skirts. Even when
Barnard girls take possession of the

now 1t seems no college dance is a full
success unless she Is on the floor.

and towns throughout the country.
References, of course, should be given
on these cards, and if the guide be so
situated as to have a spare room to
rent, a note to this effect should also
be added. Besides the additional mon
ey which the room renting arrange
ments would afford, such accommoda-
ton would prove tempting argument
when customer was undecided.
Many a country or village mother
would be glad to send her daughters
to town for a few days shopping If
such guide and chaperon could be Sc
cured. A small commission from mer-
chants, hotel and boarding house keep
ers could also be secured by directing
what money strangers had to spend to
their establishments.
For general sightseers, the lakes,

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

An interesting fact which seems to
have been almost altogether overlook
ed is that the discovery of radium,
that wonderful new substance, is at
least half due to a woman. This wom-
an, Nine. Ourrie, of Poland, pursued
her researches in conjunction with her
husband, and together they gave ra-
dunn to the world. A second discov-
cry, credited exclusively to Nine. Our
RE, is that Of polonium, which pos
sesses the mysterious properties of
radium in a degree even greater. Most
interesting experiments were made
with it before the recent congress of
chemists in Berlin by Prof. w. Mark
we'll. ..-......
Nine. Ourrie is said to be one of the
most learned women in the world, and
her standing as a truly great chemist
is admitted by scientists.
Carroll D. Wright, United States
labor commi ssioner, gives the follow
ing four reasons why women workers
receive smaller pay than men: First,
the woman comes into the Industrial
system Of today as an entirely new
factor; second, she holds a lower
standard Of industrial demands, caused
to some extent by lower standard of
life, both in physical and mental fea-
lures; third, insufficient equipment,
due not to incapacity, but to the
thought that permanency of employ
ment will be interrupted by matri-
mOny; also to the fact that she lacks
SO far, the influence that comes from
association and combination, and,
fourth, she is not political factor in
society.
A woman's club in ST. Petersburg,
which has a membership of 1000, was

Schabanow, who is at the head of a

Success Of Mrs. Perry Belmont.

Ever since Mrs. Perry. Belmont's
second marriage her position in So
ctety has been insecure. When she and
Henry T.. Sloane were divorced the
mighty influence of his family was
placed against her. and all the VAN
derbilts have opposed her. But she is
now in London, where extraordinary
attentions have been paid to her. on
several occasions she dined at the ia
BILE with the king, and although the
American women look upon her with a
certain hesitation, she is a success
with the English. For instance. the
