only newspaper man who witnessed the
great battle of Santiago, and stood on
the bridge with Admiral Schley dur
ing the entire engagement Mr.. Gra-

the purpose of gathering news. He

iams. Pierre Benton, Lucille Rowland
Sennacher. Afternoon in charge of
Mrs. c. L. Higbee.
June 26: Annual luncheon, 1 o'clock.
Section work will be omitted during
the coming month. 1.-THE distinctive
features of Browning's poetry" was the
motif of a lecture given before the
Ebell yesterday afternoon by DIR. AL
fred w. Martin, a lecture that held
the closest attention of the listeners
and won the speaker applause at the
clos1 that was almost an ovation.
DR. Martin is a leader of THE So
ciety for Ethical Culture of New
York. and a noted lecturer on Art
and Browning.
Browning was classed by Dr. Martin
with Dante, Goethe and Shakespeare in
literature, and in that he was the
poet of music and painting his work
was compared with that of Michael
Angelo. The one quality that dis
tinguished Browning's work from other
poets, it was claimed, was his inter-
est in soul development, a process that
in his writings means gradual evolu-
ton of individuality until it approx
mates the divine.
Brownings greatest work, in the
mind of the speaker, was not one of
his poems, but his own life. Many a
mans teaching and ideals, said he,
are fine, but his life falls short-not
so with this great poet.

FRANCES SQUIRE POTTER. U
FROM whatever moral plane one
II views the function of the ballot,
u there is, for woman this abvious
value in creating or in controlling and
Christening it's economic power. The
larger economic aspect of the
suffrage Immediately follows in in
fluencing and regulating through the
laws the conditions of commerce., ma
tional and international, the relation
between labor and capital, buyer and
seller. Only the ignorant or the will
fully blind today are in any doubt as to
womans need for the ballot to protect
herself and her claims in these things.
The reason women are cheaper than
men is because they are more helpless.
The reason that children are cheaper
than women is because they are
still more helpless. Only the animals
are more so, and it is because they are
the most helpless of all that they are
the cheapest of all. 1t has become self
evident in this country that the people
who have the ballot get more consider
alton than those who haven't They
have a weapon with which to defend
themselves against oppression. 1t is
known that in the four equal suffrage
states the laws protecting women and
children, regulating wages and hours,
are more favorable than anywhere else
in this country. 1t is equally obvious

NHE people for whom we feel the
most sympathy in connection
n with all this expensive machinery
of warfare that is building and to be
built. are not the ones who will oper-
ate it and face it; for they have q
certain amount of option. The people
who will have to stay alive and 40
twice as much work as they should
and pinch their stomachs and freeze
their backs, paying for its construc-
ton and maintenance; the people who
are compelled to foot the bills day in
and day out in this endless competi-
ton between manufacturers and IN
ventors of man-killing machinery
without any of the excitement or up
lift of joined battle to quicken their
blood, are the ones to be pitied. The
naval establishment of one of the Eu-
ropean powers costs as much each
year in time of peace as many an
ancient war that has had quite his
tory written about it, and has per-
haps changed the direction of some
current of civilization. Germany builds
a battleship; England replies by lay
ing down two; France adds couple
of torpedo boats; Russia signs and
thinks longingly of all the iron at the
bottom of the Sea of Japan; and Spain
Italy and the rest of the small ones do
the best they can.
And it means taxes, taxes, taxes;
millions and millions and millions each
year; taxes and still more taxes, direct

FLORAL DECORATIONS
FOR SPRING PARTIES

It Is not wise to combine too many
colors in floral decoration for an en-
tertainment at home. One color, with
the setting of green demanded by ma
ture, the great decorator, produces the
most effective results; but two colors
tremendously treated are often pre-
ferred. When more than two colors are
essayed, the amateur decorator gets
into deep water.
A lilac decoration is not only season.
able, but exceptionally effective, if prop
erly handled. Such a decoration should
be treated boldly, because that is the
habit of the flower. Large, loose
punches of the flowers, and even flower
laden branches, should be used freely.
The former should be arranged in neu-
trail colored receptacles, then disposed
about the rooms to the best advantage,
always with a setting of their own
foliage. The branches will be found
useful for bridging over bare stretches
of wall and for banking mantels. When
arranging the branches see to it that
they tend upward, as on the bush. The
lilac may bend sometimes, when heavily
freighted with blossoms, but it never
droops.
4NObllIIlS COulu NC IJlGIll0t lOl a 6pl MS
time decoration than snoWballs. A
country hostess of last spring laid hold
upon this idea for the decorative fea-
ture of an "At Home" and it proved
such happy inspiration that it is well
worth passing on.
The reception and tea rooms were
glorious with the snowy blossoms. The
mantels were banked high with them
the chandeliers We're converted into
hanging gardens of green and white;
great iardinieres Of them stood here
and there; in fact they bloscomed forth
from every available point. The mu-
sicians We're hidden from view by a
screen formed of interlaced branches of
snOWballS, and the effect was charming.
The motif was also carried out in the
refreshments. The cakes were shaped
with a vegetable scoop then iced all
over with white icing; the ice-cream
was frozen in SNOWFALL shapes the
sandwiches were stamped out with a
round cutter, and the filling was of
Neufchatel cheese and minced olives.
Coffee and chocolate were served in
the daintiest of white cups. and each
serving was capped with whipped
cream.
Yiolets and lilies-of- the-valley com
bine most effectively. The following
arrangement is suggested In the CEN
Ter OF the table stand green jar filled
with the lilies. Surround the jar with
maidenhair fern. the stem end resting
against the base of the jar and held in
place by a green band Then hide the
stems behind a border of violet bon
tonnieres, which, of course will be dis
tributed among the guests at the close
of the meal. If desired, a narrow vio-
let satin ribbon may be tied to each
bonttonniere and lead out to the plate:
then, at signal from the hostess, the
guests pull the ribbon and secure the
blossoms.
The tulip bed furnishes the ideal dec
orations for a Dutch lunch or a Dutch
tea. A rather unique combination
would be yellow and red. The flowers
should be disposed in tall receptacles
for they do not lend Themselves grace
fully to low ARRANGEMENTS. When it is
desirable to use Delft blue china serv-
ice use white tulips.-Katherine e. Me-
gee, in Suburban Life

Whv Women Labor Is CHEAP

OF MINNESOTA.
that women are more careful of the in
terests of children than men are, and
that womans economic object in de-
handing the ballot is fortified by a
natural instinct and that she is acting
for the good of the race. The primal
instinct to protect her young is quite
as powerful as the determination TO
free herself in this present worldwide
movement for political equality. In
most Of the states of the Union women
are obliged to struggle for their econo-
mic ends indirectly. If they are wage
earners they have to influence the con-
ditions under which they earn, condi-
tons sometimes which kill, MAIN and
undermine health-they have to in
fluence these conditions, indirectly. If
they are not Wage-earners or otherwise
financially independent, then their
economic survival is still more Indirect
And indirection is the unhappiest de-
Velopment in woman's situation and in
Womans nature.
| shall not weary you with what you
already know, namely the history of
women so far in the civilization of the
race, From the point of her emerging
from the savage state, if not before
this has been, generally, the history of
an economic slavery; and the economic
slavery is the occasion of that indirec-
ton which honeycombs every phase of

EkA NEW woman party"-did you
u ever hear of one? Or, better
"A still did you ever attend
one?" queries a writer in the Mime
apolis Journal They are great fun
and are conducted in this manner:
The hostess worked out the SUPPOSE
ton that if a woman is attempting TO
do a mans work in the world, man
may have to do the tasks usually be-
longing to the gentler sex. So the men
who attended this revelry found varied
household tasks allotted to them.
Threading needles was one, five min
utes being allowed, and at the eXpira-
ton of. the time the man who had the
most threaded needles to his credit
was awarded prize for that especial
contest During this time the women
sharpened pencils, their work being
judged by the men amid peals OF
laughter.
Next came a buttonhole contest for
the men, and driving nails for the
women, each one having strip of
wood, six nails and hammer. Then
the men trimmed hats (Which the girls
had brought with the trimmings), and
the girls rolled umbrellas, the men be-
ing Judges of the latter and the girls
of the former.
The last contest was the funniest
of all The men were asked to write
recipes for "angel's food chicken
salad, bread, etc, each one to write a
different recipe, according to the dish
written on the slip of paper and the
women were to write on business sub
iects, such as investing in stocks,
starting a store, buying property, etc
Each side was allowed fifteen minutes
to work out these problems, and ! as
sure you the judges had lively time.
A chatting dish supper was served,
the men assisting or hindering as the
case might be. There were four chat
ing dishes. and the rules for each one
we're provided by the hostess.
While seated over the "walnuts and
wine" clever hostess read the fol-
lowing the other night. which provoked
a great deal of merriment. She pre-
faced her remarks by saying there We're
number of articles she wished to
purchase and that perhaps some one
could assist her in obtaining them.
Here is the list:
A cushion for a seat of war.
A sheet for the bed of river.
A ring for the finger of scorn.
A glove for the hand of fate
shoe for the foot of a mountain
A sleeve for the arm of the law.
Suspenders for the pants of dog.

THE TURN OF THE ROAD

Soft. gray buds on the willow
Warm, moist winds from the bay,
Sea-gulls out the sandy beach,
And a road my eager feet would reach,
That leads to the PARKWAY.
Dust on the wayslde flower,
The meadow-lark's turing tone
Is silent now, from the grasses tipped
With dew at the dawn, the pearls have
slipped
Far have I Jared alone.
And then. by the alder thicket
The turn of the road-and youi
Though the earth lie white in the MONDAY
heat
Or the swift storm follow our hurrying feet
What do We care--we two!

THE SUNRISE NEVER FAILS

Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully;
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies;
So darken all the happy skies;
So gathers twilight cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away;
What though your eyes with tears be wet?
The sunrise never failed us yet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
our light and hope and joy once more.
Sad SOUL take comfort nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet!

A German Coffee"

Some German society girls have a
charming way of entertaining infor-
maIly. The invitations are sent over
the rhone or card is mailed, saying,
Coffee at A. with the day and date
given. Not over twelve guests are
hidden to these affairs as all are seat
ed around the table, where simple
menu is served.
The idea is congeniality, which
always seems to come when one sits
around a table and there is no hurry
for anything to follow; so at these
"coffees" there is no other amuse-
ment scheme. The feature of the oc-
casion is the large cups of coffee,
which are served with popovers and
jelly or coffee cake, and one can buy
real German coffee cake at several
places here in town now. The coffee
Gun remains on the table and guests

Washington, June 6--Men have less ed

States than women. and they remain ir
teaching little longer than the opposite
sex are the conclusions reached by Ed
ward l. Thorndike Of the Teachers col
lege, Columbia university. after a careful
investigation. The results are presented
by him I'm q publication arranged at tn:
request Of the United states bureau OF
education and made public today.
Professor ThOTndike notes that there IS
not so much difference in the pay for the
same work as the average salaries usual
" quoted misled one into believing. The
average salaries are compounded in part
Of. and overwhelmed by the few large
salaries paid to heads Of departments
principals and those who may be called
managing teachers who without Off
cial recognition I'm title, are expected e
do the iiOn's share tn the Organiza tior
and care OF the school.
All these are m Ich more often man thar
women. Consequently Professor Thorn
dixie declares the most frequent or most
typical mems salary is only 1913 per cent
greater than woman's.
