WOMEN HAVE BOWLING

New York Y. w. c. A. Opens First

Women.

One of the latest achievements in the
field of athletics for women in New York
City is the opening of bowling alley eI-
clusively for women, which is the first
bowling alley of the sort in the United
States. This bowling alley was the result
of the activity of Miss Marie Wing, of
Cleveland. Ohio. and it is located at the
West Side branch of the Young Womens

The Criminal Bad Cook. q

That badly cooked food is consid-
cradle cause of crime and immortality
was the theory set forth by physi-
clan at a recent meeting of a medical
association. So although the bad cook
NAV not be called a criminal she is at
least an accessory to the crime.
The physician worked out the proof
of his theory by saying that wrong
foods cause indigestion and malnutri-
ton which in turn interferes with
moral and physical well-being.
Every one knows who has watched
the recent trend of school reform how
important a part nutritious food plays

Rather amazing figures show how
large a factor proper nourishment is

Wife of Blind Senator
Aids Other SightleSS Folk
Mrs. Gore Tells Of Her Plan to Buy Car Tickets for the
Readers at the National Library
of the Blind

Suppose that the light of day was
forever shut out from your life. Suppose
that you could not read a newspaper, or
magazine. or book in this age when
books and magazines and newspapers are
all about us. Suppose that you were in
terested in all the things that were 60
ing on in the world. but that because you
were blind you had to dwell in a state
of ignorance save for what others took
time to read to you or to tell you.
Then suppose that you knew that there
was library where books especially
written with raised characters for the
blind were kept. where you could go and
read to your hearts content. OF course
you would want to spend hours of the
day at that library drinking in all the
knowledge that was denied to you from
other sources. Now here. comes the
hard thing to imagine. Suppose that be-
cause you did not have much money you
were deprived from going to that library
just for the lack of the car fare.
Perhaps you could go once or twice q
month. just enough to get a taste for
reading. and then you would have to give
up the pleasure of it because there was
not enough money in the family purse
to send you any oftener. And being blind
you would not be able to go out and earn
the car fare for yourself.
A trying situation it would be. But it
is just the situation that prevails in this
city. At the National Library for the
Blind, at 172s H street-which some day In
the near future will be a large circulat-
ing library of books for the blind through
out the entire country-there are now sew
eral hundred books available for the
blind. Miss Griffin, who is in charge of
this library, knows all the blind folk
who frequent the reading rooms and
through her sympathy in and intimacy
with these readers. she made the dis
them do not come oftener to the library
Is because they cannot afford the car
fares. 1t costs 20 cents each time they
CONES cents each way for themselves
and a. guide. And this 20 cents Is in
many cases more than the reader can
afford.
As soon as Miss Griffin made sure that
this was the case she reported It to the |
women who are interested in the National |
Library for the Blind and of them all
no one was more interested in the un- !
fortunate situation than Mrs. Thomas p.
Gore. the wife of the blind Senator. from |
Oklahoma.
IF we can only raise enough money"
thought Mrs. Gore. 80 that we can buy |
car tickets to be distributed to these I'M |
And it was this wish that resulted in |
the tea to be given by Mrs. Robinson /
White, who is also interested in the
blind folk of Washington, and Mrs. Gore
this afternoon at 2617 Woodley place.
The tickets for this tea are Is cents, and |
the proceeds are to be entirely spent to
buy car tickets, which will be given to
Miss Griffin, who will distribute them
from her desk In the National Library
for the Blind.
I'VE are very anxious that a great
many people win be present." said Mrs.

NEW YORK
FASHION
LETTER
AARH LA ROCQLE

written Expressly for Tho Washington Heraldl
One sometimes wonders why the sort
Of clothes We wear should ever have been
determined by seasons. For the seasons
seem. very often. more Chanseable than
fashion itself.
In New York just now for instance,
the weather has the mildness of spring,
and women are wearing many straw
hats and going without furs. And at
Palm Beach at the same time, people
tell us. the weather is so cold that guests
there have begun to despair of warmth
and sunshine and. after waiting for a
change for days. they have begun now
to go about their pleasure without these
cheerful adjuncts. Dances in sweaters
and coats are the rule.
So far the straw hats seen are very
pretty. They are becoming. too, and
that is far more important. 1t is a high
iy pleasureable sensation to be able to
contemplate a season of becoming
clothes. For this season what the clothes
lack in smartness-if, indeed, they are
less smart in appearance than the rather
ugly clothes of the winter-they have
gained in becomingness.
Their fulness and softness. their deli
cate colors, all work a magic charm on
their wearers and il seems now almost
as If We are to have another era of pref
tiness. So long is II since We have con-
sidered clothes in terms of anything but
timeliness and smartness that many of
us will have to learn to judge clothes all
over again.
1t is really very entertaining to hear
the comments of women who remember
well the dress of 1860 comment on the
frocks their granddaughter consider
