Women's Varied Interests.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: It is with much pleasure that l read
every morning the page devoted to woman
interests. There is something informing In
every line, and having travelled much l can
with truth say that the American woman is
the most resourceful ] have ever met. She
can make a garment with skill and swift
ness. without ever having learned the art OF
dressmaking, and trim a hat in few minutes
better than some first class millners. She
does not waste her time patching old gar
ments, like her old-fashioned sister Of years
ago, but will buy something new, pretty and
inexpensive. The woman's page tells her
Just how TO make these things and what is
being worn, and she never feels ashamed 10
say 81 made this" but is proud Of her abil-
ity to help make both ends meet.
The articles on child labor are particu-
larly appealing to women. I hope the time
will soon come when child slavery will be a
thing Of the past

page in The Sunday Tribune. II is just what

an ideal page for the young.

futile exercises as swatting the fly can
become a popular habit in season; nor
is there any reason why the far more
effectual plan of rendering the haunts OF
the fly more or less uninhabitable should
not be carried out in two or three seasons
This is a question of cleanliness, and
until cleanliness comes to be popular

in vain. One of his duties to-day is to
create wholesome habits In the COM

and cheerfully paid, when discouraged

new members and the filing Of pews long
empty, when a whole city is frightened and

With The Tribune's great machinery for
good to poor mortals, may it continue TO give
the cause Of Billy Sunday, which is the cause
Of humanity, the steady impact Of its benet-
cent force! You are helping to multiply his
DAYS and his usefulness. And when the final
victories of Paterson are told, as they surely
will be, around the globe The Tribune and its
readers will be the first to rejoice.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Mr. Sunday has received so many
hard blows from the metropolitan press that
you may be willing TO suffer a word In his
favor. The writer does not justify the evan
sclist's slang nor his Impotence. These
seem % be his besetting sins. He ought to
rise ctaste language and to be free from
anger ~ all times. But he is only human

But TO one who knows Mr. Sunday and his
work can doubt his personal conversion and
reformation, his sincerity, his unsefsh en-

stand.
Senator Mills and Senator Bennett, the

First, get plenty Of fresh air and good

ters Elaine's room at night, and after
giving her drug of temporary effect,

The Richmond MRnnerchor, to
which falls the honor of suggesting
the charity concert, is a singing soci-
ETY. whose mission is the preservation
of the German Volkslied (folksong)
The Volkslied breathes the soul of a
people. AS true Americans we revere
the traditions of our grand republic.
but as German descendants we can
not overlook the ideals that still bind
us to the Fatherland.
The Volkslieder move us to happi-
ness or tears. In the materialistic
rush of today it lifts us above sordid
considerations into the heaven of
dreams and rest.
For more than fifty years the Man-
nerchor has preserved a love for the
Volkslieder. Able music-masters,
such as Prof Schinan, Prof. Martis-
chang, Prof. Ruhl, Prof. Collect and
Prof. Moorehead kept up the standard
of good music.
1t is to be noted with pride that
thirty-five years ago the Richmond
MRnnerchor won the laurel wreath a
the Chicago and Indianapolis Sanger
tests. Some of the members of that
chorus are still active as singers. The
society meets every Monday evening
