A Woman of Cultivation.

J. G.. Phelps Stokes, son of an old
2ristocratic family descendant of three
colonial governors of Massachusetts, the
president of railroad and of a large
mining company, member of the gov
erning boards of a dozen educational,
charitable and philanthropic institu-
tions, member of several of the most ex-
elusive clubs in New York, writer, trav-
eler and publicist-this man with all
this intellectual social and material
wealth behind and around llinl--is about
to marry Rose Harriet Pastor, a Rus
sian Jewess, born in Augustovo, Suwalk
child Of a Whitechapel Jewry, and who
for eleven years was a cigarmaker in
a tobacco factory. The facts at first
sound startling. Really this is but a
natural step in the development of a
man whose life has been lived strongly
and fearlessly and whose goal has ever
been the living plane of true, simple
democracy.
Difference in social station can never
be essential with men and women of
thoughtful temperament. Miss Pastor
is one of that vast army born in obscuri-
turity A long line of ancestors, the
branch OF spiritual people, gave tc
her birthright' of idealism that has
blossomed and fruited in the early years
of womanhood Today Miss Pastor is a
woman of cultivation who easily meets
people of Mr.. Stokes station and makes
her contribution to every circle into
which she is taken.

different from those of the true ants:

winglessness of the worker castles.

No Food or Care.

Recent advices intimate, however.
that none OF the field colonies which
have received no food or care OF any
kind since they were placed in the
ground last year will survive the cot
ton planting season. A sufficient cause
for this mortality is doubtless to be
found in starvation, through other con-
tributing factors are apparent, new
that the social organization OF the In
sects is better understood. The season.
has been, as is well known. one CT
universal severity, both In drouth and
cold. The colonies were planted In the
fields so late IN the season that IL
seemed necessary to look for the damp
est places in order TO give them a fair
chance to dig. but this has exposed
them to special danger from flooding,
which appears to have been the imme-
diate cause of death in several in
stances, and possibly in all. The fields
in the vicinity of Victoria, where most
of the colonies Were located. were COM
pletely and repeatedly denuded Of their
foliage, flowers, buds, and young bolls
by the leaf worms. Although tho
keleps readily captured and made use
of these when the successive broods
were in the larval condition, there were
Intervals when food was almost en-
tire1y lacking, and even boil weevila

the experiment was to determine
whether the insects, of which so much
is expected in the fight against the Doll

Not a Religious Girl.

Miss Pastor is by no means what one
would term a religious girl. She has
small regard for the mere forms of re-
ligion. They mean little or nothing to
her She has never been frequently 70

1t is said that during her two years
stay in New York she has been only
once or twice. Yet she has lived the
life of n saint. never sparins herself
when she had the power 10 do FOR
others. The keynote of her life appears
to be q deep, all embracing love for hui
nanity.

Little True Happiness.

Though Miss Pastor Is an optimist of
the optinists, and carries light and sun
shine with her wherever she goes, es-
pecialiy in her work among the poor
of the East Side In New York, there
ciings to her a tinge of sadness which
crops out at different times. It will
probably always cling to her. For in
stance, in her description of her life in
London in the slums of Whitechapel
she says that when only a tiny girl of
nine, knowing little of the vast dis
tinction between the rich and the poor,
she realized that the rich ride in car
riages and look unhappy. and the poor
ride in none and look miserable. The
thought may have been in her childish
mind, but the words are from the mind
of the woman, woman who, it ap-
pears, Is convinced that there is little
true happiness TO be found in this great,
busy, whirlng world.
But one must not think that because
Rose Pastor sees the dark side of life
I'm all its intensity. she has no thought
for the more cheerful. For she has
that great saving grace. a sense of
humor, which has helped more mortals
over the rough places IN life than all
the philanthropy IaVlsneo upon the
masses by such men as Carnegie When
she came to New York, two years ago,
a noor girl with promise of employ
ment to be sure, but with her way in
the great city to fight, tired In body and
soul by the long, dusty journey from
Cleveland, it was the horse-cars that
she first noticed, perhaps, because she
had to go In one to reach her destina-
tion. The idea of such antiquated
means of transportation actually oper-
atlng in the great metropolis struck her
sense of the ridiculous forcibly, and she
