Mr.. Hilliard. general manager Of the
Waldorf-Astoria in speaking of this
new little white realm, fitted up for
women, said: 1T as the one feature
we sadly needed here. When the no.

did not have so very many coming in

for the past year or two so many shops
have been established In this neigh
borhood that we are practically in the
shopping center, and every day more
and more women coming in from SUI
burban homes as well as those living
way uptown make this hotel their
headquarters, so that really we felt
that we must do something to make
our women patrons more comfortable,
hence these rooms were built and
fitted up and now we wonder how
the women ever got on without them

It Is not an easy matter to find the

not run wild In the streets like the
children of other tenement districts
Especially is this true of the children
of pure Chinese blood. who are. as 3

The children Of Chinatown are not
early risers. They are unlike tho

While this paper is always perfectly

its subscribers desire, at the same time
it is a practice which we have often dis
favored and our sentiments are voiced
by the Pendleton Tribune, which says
"Now and them someone desires to ex-
press through newspaper his heartfelt
thanks to his friends for sympathy in
his hour of bereavement. Of course his
thankfulness is heartfelt" and he feels
his sorrow heavily, but he should avoid
making a public exhibition of either.
1t is in bad taste to say the least. Be-
sides gratitude conveyed through cold
