Open Meeting Impressive.
The opening meeting of the council was very
impressive, held in the Hall of Fine Arts,
crowded to the doors, and the official board and
presidents Of the national councils of all coun-
tries on the platform. Before the brief address
of each the band played the national anthem of
her country, and the audience rose with cheers
and waving handkerchiefs. There was but one
wish in the hearts of all-that the men OF that
country could have seen the charm, dignity and
ability with which it was represented bv

After every one had been greeted the doors
of the grand dining salon were thrown open and
the Queen, preceded by the lady-in-waiting, the
chamberlain and six footmen, led the way into it
and remained while tea was served, after which
she again shook hands with every one and re-
tired. ."It is just like our teas at home" said
the American delegates, except that we would
never let that handsome tablecloth touch the
floor all around" Il guess you would never
see all those splendid gold epergnes and things"
said another, "and l would gladly give $25 for
one of those exquisite spoons as souvenir"
Whether any were missing when the servants
counted them we shall never know. The butler,
noticing that the ladies were keeping the bon
bons as mementoes, at once brought in tray
of them and seeing their disappointment when
those with the Queens picture were gone he
picked out some with the little crown princes
and said: will not these of our next King
answer?
Queen Beautiful Woman.
The Queen is tall, slender and very graceful,
with large dark eyes and masses of waving
black hair. She wore a slightly trained dress of
white satin covered with white chiffon and over
this prune-colored chiffon falling in rather full
folds, the waist filled in with.lovely Valenciennes
lace; dog collar, long chain and ear rings of
pearls and a St. Andrews cross of very large
diamonds. nc y-m-WdltlIlS, AOuHtcSS
Bruschi, the visitors declared to be the most
beautiful woman they ever had seen the lord
chamberlain, with his heavy silver chain, was
the fattest man, and the talest men were the
rows of them they passed between in their grand
march through the gorgeous rooms to be re
ceived'-every one of them seven feet high,
they insist-and dressed in scarlet coat, white
waistcoast, purple knee breeches white silk hose
and shoes with immense silver buckles. In the
anteroom, massed with palms and many colored
azaleas, the visitors were requested to remove
their wells and gloves. La, Ia, it was all very
fine, even if the King was in hiding for rea-
sons of state. In Berlin the council officials
were received by the Empress, but sent home
without any tea and at Windsor Castle all the
delegates had a bountiful repast, but Victoria
only rode past the line of them in her little
phaeton and let them look at her. In both
cases. however, the grand result was achieved
that thereafter the press considered it the
proper thing to recognize the council.
Delegates of the common or garden variety,
who were not bidden to the palace, were con-
soled by an invitation from various countesses
to go by special train to a tea in the woods at
Villa Torlonia in Frascati, and see the Villa
Aldobrandini, one of the handsomest in Italy. 1t

paintings and tapestries are perfectly preserved

bassador's had the unusual privilege of seeing
the magnificent Palace Farnese, which has been
leased by the French Embassy for the past forty
years. 1t was built under the direction of
Michael Angelo in the early sixteenth century
for Cardinal Farnese, afterward Pope Paul III,
out of materials taken from the Coliseum and
the Theater of Marcellus, and later passed to
the Kings Of Naples. Description would be
hopeless, but as we walked along the half-nie
of corridors to the living rooms we wondered
if the family had not shorter cut. Palaces
are no longer only for cardinals and Kings, or
even embassies, for we went directly from this
one to the Palace Orsini, occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Nelson Gay Of Boston, who gave tea
for the Americans here at the council. Mr..
Gay is writing a History of Modern Italy and
has collected library of $4,000 volumes. What
is now the kitchen, so we were told, was the
prison of Beatrice Cenc
: An Interesting Studio.
Palaces are not more characteristic of Rome
than studios, and greater contrast could not
be imagined than to 60 on this bright, sunny
afternoon from these gorgeous palaces filled
with gaily dressed crowds into the austere SIM
plicity and silence of the studio of the American
SCULPTOR Mrs. Adelaide Johnson. 1t does not
look into a luxuriant Italian garden, but far up
through the high windows one sees dropping
over a still higher terrace vines and roses and
trees laden with yellow lemons. Within the cool
gray of the stone walls is relieved only by the
subdued blue of the draperies that bring the
marbles into clear relief and the soft, white cur
tains that regulate the lights and shadows,
while the delicate artist in her snow robes seems
a part of her own creations. Chief among
these on massive pedestal are her three mas
terpieces, the busts of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott, made for
the Capitol at Washington, where some day
they will find permanent place. Another beau
tiful piece is the three quarter figure of Mrs
Ellen Hardin Walworth, founder of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, which
will adorn Continental Hall in Washington, far
beyond anything now in that handsome Co.
lonial building. A bust still in the plaster, which
with others Mrs. Johnson has recently come 10
Rome to finish, was of especial interest to the
council members, that of Mrs John F. Swift, of
San Francisco, formerly president of the United
States council. There will be by general re-
quest second exhibit next Sunday.
There are many phases of this great inter-
national meeting which profoundly impress one
with the remarkable development and power Of
womanhood all over the world. One of these
is the reports of the standing committees

For ten years two of the chairmanships have
been held by the Emitted States, peace by Mrs.
Sewall and suffrage by DR.. Anna Shaw. The
latter was reelected, the former declined to
serve longer and was succeeded by Mrs. George
Cadbury, of Great Britain, (Birmingham). The
chairmanship of the international press commit
tee was rendered to the present writer, who, hav-
ing always preferred free lance to an office,
declined it.
Temperance Left Out.
The United States delegation was greatly
disappointed at the failure TO provide for
standing committee on temperance at this meet
ing 1t has long been desired by many, but sup
posing that it was sure to be adopted our dele
gates refrained from making fight for it, feel
ing happy that there was one proposition on
which they did not have to render themselves
conspicuous. 1t failed, however, principally be-
cause in the confusion of tongues it was impos-
sible to make the delegates from the wine and
beer drinking countries understand that it was
not prohibition measure but only one for a
scientific inquiry and report. Immediately after
it was defeated the vote was unanimous to re-
fer it to the committee on public health, with
positive instructions to make exactly this kind of
an inquiry! A resolution was passed expressing
sympathy with the cause of temperance and urg-
ing the councils of all countries to combat 'alco
holism, whatever that may mean, and this was
offered by Germany, who had vigorously op-
posed committee!
The proposition which the United States del
egation was especially determined to defeat was
the one that at these qunquennias public dis
by the international council should be subject to
the approval OF the country visited. As an in
stance of what this means the Italian council has
not allowed the question Of peace and arbtra-
ton to be mentioned in public, and it tried to
shut out suffrage. Our delegation moved as a
substitute: AT each quinquennial an opportunity
shall be provided to present at public meetings
every line OF work adopted as propaganda by the
international council through its standing COM
mttees" Every delegation was seen personally
and labored with in three languages. The Ger
man and British were solidly opposed. and Lady
Aberdeen, president Of the international council,
showed her approval of them as plainly as was
consistent with her official position, if not con-
siderably more so. 1t was supported by Mrs.
Sewall, DR.. Anna Shaw, Miss Janet Richards.
