honor of that work is due. Mrs. CourudIu H0'
never been enrolled as member Of the Ieasue'
and Yesterday the day Of its election of officers
the first time that she has ever pasSeO
through its door Her appearance there at that
time she says, was in response TO a letter from
Mrs Suzanne Westford. inviting her to be pres
ent and TO receive the salute from the league
its under.
OF the twelve original members only one
Aunt" Louisa Eldridge, was present yesterday
when the warm reception was accorded to MIS-.
CORTLAND. and when questioned privately later
in the day to why she let the bestowal Of the
honor go unchaIlenged, Aunt" Louisa, although
a firm friend and staunch admirer Of Mrs
Palmer, admitted that Mrs CORTLAND was the
real founder of the league
Mrs. Ida Jefferies Goodfrend. another charter
member, came in during the Afternoon, and when
told of the action of the league in recognizing
Mrs. CORTLAND. declared that she was not its
founder.
The original meeting of the Professional
Woman's League" said Mrs. Goodfriend was
held in Mrs. A. NJ Palmer's drawing room with
twelve women present, and the project mate
rallied when, soon after, went down TO Mr..
Palmer's office and drew up articles Of incor-
poration"
Mrs CORTLAND said yesterday that the idea
of q professional woman's league first came 10
her while she was working for the Actors Fund
fair which was held in May, 1892 She found
it so easy TO collect money for the fair, she says
that 1t occurred to her that it would not be
difficult work to originate club for women
modelled after the Players and the Lambs for
men.
'.All through that summer and fall" said
Mrs. CORTLAND, Il worked up my idea alone, go
ing for advice to Mr. Palmer and to Mr.. Fiske
Of The Mirror who thought well of the plan.
When found at the third meeting that l was
going to be a discOrdant element in the club
stepped out. 1t was practically organized when
l gave it over TO Mrs Palmer"
Mrs. Palmer is i'll at her home, No. pol West

LADY BRASSEY'S HOBBY.
Her Deep Interest in Emigration
Problem, Especially for Women.

Lady Brassey, whose famous worldwide tray
els on the good yacht Sunbeam are familiar to
many through her books, is more interested in
the travels of other people than her own now
adays
am more interested in emigration TO the
new countries than in anything else" she said
to representative of The Tribune at the La
layette-Brevoort yesterday. Lord Brassey is
president OF two emigration socetes-Dr. Bar
nardo's, which has been sending out boys and
girls to be adopted in Canada for twenty-five
years past, and the East End Emigration So
ciety' which sends whole families to Canada.
We were present at sending off from this
society just before we sailed. when four hundred
men, women and children left for Montreal.
1here is a depot of the society at Montreal
where the emgrants cared for until they
can be scattered over the country; Many go to
friends others take UP government land and
others start their trades.
Then, l am particularly interested in the
Women's emigration societies. The Hon Mrs.
Joyce originated emigration work for women in
England. She is president of the South
African Women's Emigration Society, which
was started after the Boer war. while Lady
hnlghtley IS president of the older British
women Emigration Society There has been
very heavy emigration of men from England
10 the colonies for many years. and it leaves a
terrible surplus of women behind Wages are
very low for them. and it is more difficult and
uncertain for women to emlgrate alone than for
men. 1t is very useful work to help them out
TO the colonies. It is good for them. good for
the men. good for the colonies and good for
England.
ITO South Africa we are sending servants and
governesses now. The latter are educated wom-
en-; there is quite a demand for them now, and
they have done well. We do not send any one
until the authorities there with whom are in
communication notify that they have open
ings for definite number of women in def
mite line Then send them what they want.
We have several horticultural colleges in
England now where girls are taught gardening,
and other schools where they taught dairy
ing and similar branches. Graduates from these
schools do not necessarily emigrate, but their
training is helpful to them in case they do.
Il going 20 Ellis Island this afternoon 10
examine the workings of your great gate Of en-
trance and next Friday l am going to Montreal
10 see something of the working of the East End
Emigration Society from the colonial side
Lady BrasSey has changed in the thirty years
since she first began to write of the yacht Sun
beam. She is quite gray now and a little lame,
but she retains all the interest in people and
things which drove her pen through so many
volumes She is a tall. slender woman. her hair
dressed in curly mass low on her forehead in
the style made familiar by Queen Alexandra.
She has a peculiarly gentle. kindly personality.

MENTAL STIMULUS.

But music affords mental as we'll as spiritual
training. Mr. Sheppard told his auditors; in fact,
It furnishes the finest mental training in the
curriculum. II develops concentration and con-
trol Of the emotions. and gives mental training,
among other things.
Suppose q girl has to study four hours a day
at home Well. if she spends one hour of the
four IN the Intellectual study Of music she can
do as much in the remaining three as she could
with that extra hour"
In conclusion, Mr. Sheppard called his daugh-
ter a little girl in short skirts, with a big
butterfly bow Of white ribbon on her hair TO the
piano. First she played Bachs prelude in F.
When the women applauded enthusiastically,
'FloTian climb cherry tree with any boy

played Neudelssohn's Rondo CapricciOso and q
Scherzo from one Of BeethOvens sonatas, all
from memory.
She practises only an hour day, and tech
