MRS. DENISoN'S TRAVELS.
President of General Federation of
Women's Clubs Has Established
a Unique Record.

Mrs DENIES T. S. Denison. presi-
dent of the General Federation of
Women's clubs, is at present at her
home in West One Hundred and Third
street, Manhattan, resting between
Journeys. And she probably needs the
rest. For three months she was as con-
tinually on the road as commercial
traveller. In those three months she
travelled more than most women do in
a lifetime, and all without going out
side of the United States. She crossed
the Mississippi six times. got almost
out to the coast twice and kept en-
Easements in Louisiana and Texas,
and engagements in Michigan and the
Dakotas. She visited % states in all,
travelled about 10000 miles, talked to
not far from 100000 women and came
home fresh as daisy and having
gained weight during her travels.
That is something of record even
for these strenuous days, and now she
has started off again to Florida first
and possibly to one or two other places.
All this, OF course, on federation DuSl-
ness. Who takes the place of presi-
dent to that enormous aggregation of
women must make up her mind to put
her own private and personal affairs
entirely in the background for two
years. And even that Mrs. Denison has
not done, inasmuch as her mother has
been very lila situation which she
did not foresee when she took the
presidency-and she has been drawn
hither and yon by divided duty, and
succeeded in neglecting neither. But

tically wifeless for the past year, be-
tween his wife's mother and his wife's

HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
Caring FOR tie Baby Is Robbed Of
Many Trials by Adopting a
Rational System.

Young mothers usually know very
little about the care of babies, and this
lack of knowledge is apt to make the
task seem very difficult one. Let his
clothes be soft, warm and comfortable.
We often fail to realize how much
more sensitive he is to changes of
temperature than we are, and are not
careful enough to guard against them.
The room in which he stays should be
kept as near the same temperature as
possible, and well ventilated, but avoid
keeping him in a draft or he will be
apt to have the collie A healthy baby,
that has not been taught bad habits,
will be happy and contented in his crib
the greater part of the day, allowing
the mother time to attend to other
duties, or to rest. He does not need
to be held in your arms all the time,
and he never needs to be carried about
enough for that task, and they should
never begin it. A great deal of worry
and many cross spells might be saved
if the mother would begin by having
regular hours for feeding and bathing
the baby. The bath should never be
neglected, for so much of his comfort
depends upon it that he will be rest
less and cross without it. Have the
room warm and the water just warm
enough for comfort Get the bath tub
in place, with towels and clean clothes
hung on a chair before the fire, SO they
will be at hand when needed. Battle
him quickly, and wipe him dry with a
very soft linen towel. Dust him I'M
der the arms and any other places
that seem in danger of chatting with a
powder composed of ten parts talcum
powder and one part boracic acid, thor
oughly mixed by sitting together two
or three times. This is very soothing
home it is inexpensive, and one can be
sure to have it pure. Slip his clothes
on and fasten them with as little turn
ing and twisting as possible, and if he
is not hungry he will fall into a quiet,
refreshing sleep.
When babies are teething they need
special care to keep them we'll. They
should have plenty of simple and nu-
tritious food that is easily digested
The gums become swollen and the

water occasionally and see how eager

for it was he who urged and encour-
aged his wife to go into club life and
cheered her through her first moments
of stage fright and was so proud and
pleased at the general recognition Of
her brilliancy and graciousness and
ability that she couldn't help being
pleased and proud with him.
Speaking of her traVels--and even
as she spoke Mrs. Denison was dressed
and ready to go to big local club re-
ception as guest of honor"-she said
to Brooklyn Eagle reporter: 81 had
a perfectly delightful trip in every
way. 1t seemed to me that each town
outdid the last had visited in it's well
come. And those western club women!
They are such forceful, brainy, prac-
teal creatures. They don't seem to
waste so much time on unimportant de-
tails, but get right down to the meat
of the matter. l suppose that in our
eastern cities our various reforms and
charities and public works are so well
organized, so crystallized that there is
not so much for the clubs to do. But
out west the women's clubs are an &C.
tive living public force, doing things
that ought to be done, accomplishing
things that need accomplishing. And
their hospitality is not mere civility;
their politeness seems to be a deep
seated courtesy that springs from real
kindness.
II think any one who had been on
my recent trip with me would have
realized the uses of women's clubs.
Possibly occasionally they would have
realized their abuses, too. But in the
main they do stimulate and develop.
And the club woman is not necessarily
masculine, domineering, unwomanly
creature. She can overdo it, of course,
and sometimes clubs seem to become
IN obsession with women. But those
are the women who are naturally ILL
balanced; if it wasn't clubs it would
be something else. Of course, a whole
lot of them take themselves with ire
mendous seriousness and are awfully
funny

ably the last one I shall take as presi-
dent Of the general federation. My
term ends in the spring"

the petals so arranged as to leave
space for the painted portraits of the

painted picture tiny photograph may
be inserted if desired, and if cleverly
done the effect is good, although the

They Like to Be UplY.

AS if nature had not been unkind
enough, the "Thibetan woman heightens
her ugliness by smearing her face with
a horrible black ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind.
Her dress is not different from her hus-
bands. Her browning glory is her hair
Plastered down with butter from the

a sunburst of small braids to which is
fastened a great fan-shaped headdress

gong-a soft, melodious tinkle, belying
the grotesqueness of her face.

Pleasant Occunation.

One of Queen Alexandras favorite
occupations when she is at home at
Sandringham, or any other of the
royal palaces, is that of arranging cut
flowers in vases for the tables of the
different apartments. In this matter
her majesty has quite exceptional skill
and taste, and, in fact, has received
lessons in flower dressing from jap
anese lady; the Japanese, who regard
this occupation as fine art, being by
far the most skillful at it.
