Lieut.. Zeppelin up into the air in

an aerial reconnoiter of the confederate

battle Of Fredericksburg are told by

He timed his approach splendidly,

Of female corpses was really a lot Of

after her own measurements. and her
choicest costumes were kept on them

"Her maid would fasten a gown on

cIsvor Mr.. AsauIth.

II is many years since so young a
woman as Mrs. Asqulth has occupied
the important position Of a prime min
istoRs wife, and 1t has been remarked
that none of her immediate predeces-
sors was so perfectly equipped for the
position. The wife Of the new premier
was described by Mr.. Gladstone as
"the cIeverest woman he had ever
met" and he gave her free access to
his library at Hawarden. A London
paper says that among Mrs. Asquith's
treasured correspondence. kept in a
book brightly bound in emerald calf, is
a letter from King Edward thanking
her for a soulful" novel she lent him.
The letter was written on the monarch's
return from the frst jubilee procession
in his honor and was dated 'this never
to be forgotten day"

MISS cay KELLOGG.

Later she was employed By a promi-
nent New York Arm of architects. after
which she went to Paris. Upon her
return she worked with Mr.. John r.
Thomas until his death. Since then
she has been in business for herself.
To the question Of what do you
consider the biggest piece OF work you
have ever done?" Miss Kellogg replied:
''The opening OF the Ecole des Beaux
Arts in Paris to women architects.
When 1 went to Paris there was just
one atelier where women were re-
ceived. Today conditions are entirely
different.
'T don't care so much for small
pieces Of architectural work." contin-
ued Miss Kellogg. II only do big
things-as, for instance, the American
News company's new sixteen story
building in San Francisco, which 1
successfully built at long distance.
There is no reason why a woman
should not do as we'll In architecture
as a man II she is not afraid of re-
buffs. Not but what men have been
fine to me, for meet them on equal
lines, but 1t takes a little time to gain
their confidence"
To see Miss Kellogg on "her Job" is
a unique experience, even to the lay
man. For instance, she has done all
the architectural work for the Amer
lean News company throughout the
United States for the past ten years,
which means that she has $50 build
ings under her charge. At present she
is renovating six old buildings for this
company in New York and also erect
ing a new one. Every morning at 8
o'clock Miss Kellogg appears on the
scene and trips lightly up six or seven
flights of stairs to superintend her
workingmen. She runs up and down
unfinished stairs, scales ladders to see
how new roofs are coming on and trips
lightly across yawning beams that are
open to the frst door. A short skirt,
stout high boots aud well poised nerves
are her equipment, and when she is
around everything moves.
She knows every detail OF her pro-
fesslon, construction. the theory and
practical knowledge Of plumbing, heat
ing, electricity and ventilation. Then,
too, she is acquainted With all her con-
tractors, fcrsmen and plumbers, and as
Pete, her superintendent OF construc-
ton, says. "Sbe isn't afraid of any
thing" aud be added. "She is the most
thorough man 1 ever met in architec-
tural work"
Mr.. Louis Hernsheim. the structural
iron contractor. who has been accus'
toned to working with women archi'
tects in Europe. says that Miss Kel
logg is more attentive to business
than any man / know"
'It's my fTst Job with her" he con
tinued. 'but hope it won't be my
last"
"Oh, yes. all the workmen like her
She is so consiaerate, but she can be

To Prsvsnt Tale rsIlIna.

Some time ago, writes a reader Of
Home Chat, I found that my children
we're getting into habit Of constantly
coming to me to complain Of one an
other. At last l told them that in fu-
ture could listen to no verbal COM
plants. Any one who had a grievance
against another must write 1t out care
fully, bring 1t to me, and would then
go into the matter.
Since then it is marvellous how few
complaints l have received. The chill
dren quickly settle grievances among
themselves, and there is far less quar-
reling than there used to be.
