The Woman's Hotel

There is a bad time ahead for the board
ing houses If the Womans Hotel prospers
and multiplies as 1t gives promise Of doing.
The lone woman, stranded by circum-
stance or separated from her home by the
needs Of her work, has always been the
chief standby of the landlady, a steady
source of supply both for second-foor-
front and fourth-floor-bach Perhaps the
lone woman has not found It perfectly
satisfactory, but formerly no one consid-
cred her side of IT. Then the experiment
of a hotel for women was tried, and
stradghtway they came pouring into st,
from every, corner of the city, like rabbits
from hidden warrens, until there was not
room for one more. The need proved,
other hotels will follow. But meanwhile
what of the clearinghouse, that unfailing
resource Of the woman who can do nothing
else? with bachelor quarters for women
as well as men, and apartment houses on
every corner for married couples-'the only
beings not provided for will be the chill
dren. Perhaps the boarding houses future
existence will be form Of nursery.

Babies in India

Babies cry very little in 1ndia-they
obey spiritual law as a flower. The lotos
bud, lying on stone bench I'm a dirty
room, sucks its toe and seems dreaming
of the pranks Of baby Irishna, and solv-
ing problems of the universe. As it grows
older it is very tlmid and shy in the pres
ence of his elders, says Edmund Russell in
Everybody's Magazine. It feels the re-
hgious awe around 1t and does not break
out into boisterous sport when all seems
at prayer.
But there is much love in India and these
humble households seem very happy.
They are all-in-am to each other and seek
nothing outside either in society or amuse-
ment. Beautiful character comes from
obedience to law and not from lawlessness.
In India children are the crowning gift
of life. 1t is a horror to be childless.

tirely unconscious OF ever having made,

You said the man who drew it was a

in favor of the candor and truthfulness
Of your statement l shall not endeavor

Washington, May l9.-The state de-

of the obstacles which the Shanghai
treaty commissioners are meeting with
the Chinese in the effort to include In

nese. as stated in the Peking dispatch,

account OF Russian opposition The ac-

post of duty for some time. is now re-
turning 10 Pekin His arrival there is
awaited with some interest. for it is

tional port facilities for American
trade interests in Manchuria. will con-
tinue to exert its efforts to bring about
