THE NEW YORK woMAN,s HOTEL

1t is called the Martha Washington.
1t is a twelve story brick and stone
structure. There are apartments, sin
gle and en- suite. for about 500 perma-
nent inmates and accommodations for
$50 transient guests.
When the project for a hotel exclu-
sively for women was preached, it re-
ceived the commentator OF employers
Of women. church organizations and
women's societies, and many self sup
porting women expressed approval of
the plan and asked that rooms be re-
served for them.
The cost of the land and building
was more than $500, 000 and the amount
above the capital stock was borrowed
on mortgage. The rooms for permanent
guests have been rented at from SO to
81 a week, without board. Meals may
be had for IS a week Transient rates
are from 81 to s.. so day.
Reception rooms have been provided
in each story. The second story has
several private parlors and a general
dining room. Men are not permitted
there. They can get meals a la carte in
a separate restaurant in the first story.
The tenants are teachers, bookkeep-
ers. stenographers, musicians. artists.
writer's. nurses. physicians and other
professional women. They have all the
conveniences offered by modern hotel.
including a large library.

Miss Wadsworth is tall. dignified and
graceful, with fine. strong face and
bright blue eyes. Her New York Office
is handsomely fitted up. One room
contains substantial furniture, which
impresses visitors variously, according
to their cut. When the furniture first
came and the heavy oaken desk was
unwrapped. the office boy exclaimed.

greatest novelties. and these come in
pale blue, pale pink and greenish
white perfectly true to nature even in
the slightest detail. Rough straw is
very smart finished with a fold of pale
green satin or velvet and trimmed with
three hydrangeas of different tints.
Thistles in many colors are also
smart, but little stiff. Still one of the
handsomest hats | have seen was of
black chantilly trimmed with a wreath
or green thiStles.
Originality is the keynote in millinery
as in dress. The woman who can evolve
a new sleeve drapery or a new way of
covering a hat is voted modish, be she
amateur or professional. Therefore I
again advise women to try their hand
at trimming their own hats and devils
ing those little choux and rosettes
which cost SO much when bought in the
shops. 1t only requires a little conf
dence for almost everything which is
pretty is in style.

SWEET SCOTCH VOICES

For real beauty of speech many ex-
perts think that we must go to the
glens that surround the highland Can't
tai. Sir Morell Mackenzie used to say
that the prettiest speakers were to be
found in the Badenoch district of In
worcestershire. A wider knowledge
would probably have induced him to
modify his views and give the palm TO
the glen folk of the north and west OF
Inverness-shire
The voices OF the highlanders are set
low. and yet the articula ton IS clear
distinct and dramatic. One inclines to
hken their speech TO many beautiful
things-to the clear. mellow note Of a
bell or the murmur of running water.
The infection OF the voice is singularlv
engaging. rising and falling with ex-
auisite cadences like bewitching music.
and this, be il remembered. is the
speech Of the common people.

The pecan does not have much
roots, except the top root, for several
years; so it is evident if a good
growth is expected the first few
years, there must be plenty of avail
able plant food around the top root,
so the reason for digging the large
hole spoken of in my first communi
cation, as well as to make a soft
place for the top root to penetrate.
Now, I want it understood that I
do not claim to be an expert grower
of pecans by any means, but am only
giving the experience I have had in
growing several hundred trees.
Now where shall we plant the pc
cans9 First, I would say, if you have
no natural grove around your build
ings, then there is a@good place, for
there are no prettier shade trees nor
any more long-lived, and but few
that will give shade sooner if given
a good showing. Plant along perma-
nent fences, along the public high
ways, and in any out-of -the-way
place that cannot be used for other
purpose to better advantage.
Now, I think I have answered all
the questions that have been asked,
but should anyone want other infor-
nation, I will give it with pleasure
if can, either through The Pro
gressive Farmer or by letter.
