The Ideal Guest.
From Hdrper's Bdkur.

From Hdrper's Bdzdr.
II has been said that women may be divided
into two classes. that OF the "born hostess"
and that of the born guest" and that neither
fits into the others role with any degree Of
success! There is one charming woman who
is known among her friends as Il. G.. which
mysterious appellation stands for Ideal

saying 1T is so sillyl Any one can BIO

things agreeable for the others. Yes, I do

care of her room as easy for the maid as
possible. When she leaves 1t in the morning

JOY THE FLOWER Gid BRINGS.
Has Sent 700 window BOxes-Prlzes for
Those best Cared For.

The Plant, Fruit and Flower Gid has
distributed 200 window boxes. and four
prizes are to be awarded for those which
show the best results at the end OF the
season. Two OF these prizes are to 60
below Fourteenth street and two above.
Every nationality In the city except
the Japanese IL represented among the
recipients OF the window boxes. Even
the Chinese have been remembered. Only
one American family and one French
family are on the list, however. The boxes
have been given only to those who seemed
anxious for them and showed an interest
in following instructions and tending the
plants.
In each box. were three vines and from
three to five plants ready for immediate
blooming. Among the plants were always
geraniums, and sometimes begonias, mas
turti,lms or small rosebushes. Friends
of the gid sent the plants from their
greenhouses. An Ohio flower merchant
sent 100 potted plants.
The appreciation Of some OF those who
have received the boxes has been interest
ing. One Irish family had never before had
a growing thing in their house. When ques-
toned as to how they liked the box, the
daughters OF the family replied rather
aggrievedly that II was very nice, but
it was no good to them, as their father would
not allow any one to touch the box but
himself.
The father OF another family added a
soap box to the window garden, in which
he planted corn and beans. The mother
of Jewish boy who took box became
so Interested that she asked for a second
one. She is intensely anxious to win the
Only one family displayed indifference
to the box, and this was because all their
geraniums we're pink, while their neighborsr
boxes had different colors.
The ignorance OF some OF the people
as to growing things is surprising
pathetic. They are afraid to pick off dead
leaves until told that it will not iniu the
water the plants, and many have refrained
from pulling weeds from the boxes, sup
posing them to be flowers.
The plant gid has also given out many
seeds and ported plants for gardens. In
East Seventy sixth street house standing
back from the street has four garden plots
assiduousy cultivated by children Of the
house and respected by all their mates.
One boy In West Forty-sixth street has
quite a vegetable garden. In Brooklyn

children in one OF the houses and twenty

THE "WALKING HOU SEKEEPER.'
One Woman who Solved the Servant Prob
lem In an Odd Way.

Il think have found the solution Of th'
servant problem in a walking housekeeper.
said woman who had been through the
regular ordeal with servants. 1--we tried all
sorts of servants, but have never been able
to get hold of one who was thorough house,
keeper, who knew exactly what was to be
done and would do it.
Now, my walking housekeeper' Is
woman who has always kept her own home,
but her family has all died off and she is
anxious to earn some money to support her
self and she is glad to work to keep her from
being lonesome. But she is not strong
enough to hire out regularly in place.
So she hires for piecework, so to speak.
For instance she will come in at 10 clock,
prepare my dinner do some sweeping, do
my breakfast dishes and the dinner dishes,
mop up the kitchen and leave by $3.50 o clock.
Or she will come in at o'clock, get break
fast and sweep my rooms. She will not
work much longer than six hours, but in that
six hours she will do everything she can find
to do. She will work incessantly.
4She does not wash and iron, but she will
come in on washing and ironing days and
superintend, so that can run out right after
breakfast for few hours shopping with
perfect confidence that she will look after
things just as we'll as l could.
4She knows thoroughly every part OF
housekeeping and takes as much interest
in my house as she would in her own. II
she is sent TO sweep the parlors and sees
that the mirrors and windows need clean
ing she will 60 at it without word from me-
II she sees that clean papers are needed on
the pantry shelves she puts them there,
and IL the pan under the refrigerator needs
emptying. she empties it. 1t is in those
details she Is a perfect treasure, for it is
the inattention to details on the part OF
the average servant that drives mistress
nearly crazy.
If I'm going to give dinner party can
get her to come in and help cook and serve
it. and also take peek around to see If
the rooms are in order. Ofcourse she comes
high. She charges 81 for six hours work,
no matter whether it is cooking meals or
hopping piazzas, but she gets through with
more in that six hours than the ordinary
servant does In. twelve. l can understand
why she does not consider she is strong
enough to hire out permanently, for she
would be a wreck at the end OF the week
at the rate she works"

Often, however, a touch of color relieves
the whtenc5s without detracting from

example, two Of the practical tub frocks

sort already described
One was trimmed in heavy torchon lace,

which IL the key to a frock's success without
interfering ut all with the practical nature
of the frock.
The relieving note Of the second white
linen frock took the form Of bands of blue
linen embroidered in heavy raised white
dots Of varying sizes In the case under
consideration the embroidery was done to
order, but bands of embroidered linen some
what after this order are sold by the yard
and are effective, though for the very reason
that the straight band trimmings may be
obtained by the yard the chic French
frocks of this class almost invariably have
some irregular trimming motif that indi-

times the handw ork Is nothing more COM

edges on collar, cuffs, &c. Sometimes IT Is
more elaborate. and it Is done in the color
of the linen even more often than in white
bands and motifs of embroidery on white
linen are also used to trim simple frocks OF
colored linen, and an excellent effect was
obtained, in the frock of dull pink linen
illustrated here, by using inset bands OF
coarse white crash embroidered in Hard
anger work.
Linen soutache in white trims some OF the
pretty linen frocks, or rather assists in
trimming them; but these frocks are usually
of the bolero and skirt persuasion. A
costume in blue linen with triple bolero
trimmed in white soutache and finished at
the neck with heavy lace and white corde-
ieres belonged to this class. Another
bolero costume without the soutache
feature, was in soft green linen, with collar
revers and cuff of fine white lingerie.

country Of clubs in the English and American
acceptation Of the term. and 1t is small won
der that German women have been among
the last to establish clubs for themselves.
To American women belongs the distinction
OF having established the first woman's
club in Germany. In 1905. This club was
organized for the purpose OF beneftins
girl students by opening to them house
where they could hear their own language,
have access to American books, newspapers
and magazines, and above all receive adj
vice and sympathy to help them along
the unfamiliar ways Of life In foreign
city.
From very modest beginning the Ameri-
can woman's club has grown to be one OF the
most important organizations of it's kind
on the Continent.
Although possessed of no great capital,
the organization is self-supporting, any
deficit being made up bya bazaar or enter
tainment. 1.-THE winter reception is given
once a month, and musicales or lectures are
frequently held. The club owes much of its
literary activity to the efforts of Mrs. Andrew
d. White, wife of the former Ambassador
to Germany, who during her residence in
Berlin was president of the organization.
The present president is Mrs. Charlemagne
Tower, wife of the Ambassador, and the
vicc-president Il Mrs Frank H. Mason, wife
of the United States onsul-General
The membership as a whole is variable,
but averages between 400 and 500 year.
The fees are 10 marks and 8 marks, the last
for students. Glasses in German and French
open to members are SO pfennigs lesson,
charge of so pfennigs for guest to the
reception is made, this idea having been
borrowed from the practical German.
Three years after the American Woman's
Club was organized the Deutscher Frauen-
klub came into existence being founded
by the wealthiest and most influential
women in Berlin. This is prominently the
smart club of Germany and counts among
its members and supporters one royal
Princess and two or three excellencies and
ladies in waiting at the German Court.
Marie Won Luyden is the president,
