orator became known.
Not long after this a parish house
was under construction In Hartford.
Conn, and when the authorities came
to buy the furnishings 1t occurred to
one who had seen some of Amy Fer
ris' work that she was just the person
whose advice they needed.
So Miss Ferris was sent for, and she
went to work to plan out a scheme.
AS usual, she drew up a very specific
statement of, what she purposed doing
before she started in her work. There
wasn't detail in the whole plan that
suggested that the building was In
tended for a church home. 1t was
just as comfortable and informal as
though It were a private house.
Surprised the Church Folk.
As she showed her plans, some of
the authorities looked aghast. They
had associated a parish house with
something dark and funereal. They
never thought of having missionary
meeting and choir rehearsals and Sun
day school and prayer meetings In
such comfortable-looking place. But
why not?' Miss Ferris asked, and she
had her way. Another thing that sur
prised some Of the good parishioners
about the new parish house was the
basement, where the men of the church
had their meetings. This was actually
called a rathskeller and Miss Ferris
had furnished 1t in modern Viennese
style for all the world like one Of the
Austrian cafes she had seen. why
not?" said Miss Ferris again when the
people looked surprised. ut is good

it and men are to use the ROOM" And
SO the plan went through.
Since that time Miss Ferris has be-

houses, but churches. Office buildings,
club rooms, stores, town houses, and
country cottages and villas. One of
her most recent achievements was in
decorating the home for the women

lower of the prophet. We found that
the Christians Of Syria and Palestine
are usually meekly obliging when
asked to pose, but we also found that
with few exceptions in bethlehem,
Nazareth and Jerusalem they are not

soul is destroyed, however. anything
is likely to happen to 1t. But after

N At Worsley Hall.
Y One of the great houses Miss Ferris
wanted most to see was old Worsley
hall, near Manchester. 1t belonged to
the earl Of Ellesmere. who had as
part Of his household decorations the
inatchless art treasures collected by
the duke of Bridgewater. The earl an
swered her request promptly and on
her arrival instructed his head butler
to treat her with every consideration.
The butler showed her solemnly
Through the house from one spacious
hall to another, telling her the story
Of every tapestry and painting better
than the earl could have done himself.
Finally he showed her into the count
ess of Ellesmere's boudoir.
"Wil you please to remain here as

.There may be several things that will
interest you. When you are through

her that there is great deal OF help
and assistance to be had in climbing
the ladder to success just for the ask
ing. Her tour Of the great houses of
England also taught her another thing.
That was that in spite Of the wealth
and history that these houses showed.
there was still great deal about
the furnishings that needed the work
of an interior decorator. In many OF
the old mansions that were formerly
furnished in the stately simplicity of
the Elizabethan or Jacobean era she
saw rooms done over In the stuffy
atrocities of the Victorian era-dust-
collecting lambrequins. ottomans.
and q variety OF gew-gaws that any
up-to-date American housewife would
have relegated to the attic years ago.
f. When Miss Ferris had made her tour
of England she went to Vienna, where
that art Of interior decorating has re-
ceived more attention of late years
than 1t has in England. And here
again she succeeded by the same sim
pie method in gaining an entree to
the best furnished houses Of that cap
ital. With this inspiration and expe,
rence she came back to America
ready to take up her profession of in
terror decorator.
Took Up New Work.
Miss Ferris Is a graduate of Smith
college, and when she was graduated
she entered St. Luke's hospital in New
York to become a trained nurse. When
after a few months work she faced
the realization that she was not fitted
to stand the strain and fatigues of this
calling. her first feeling was one of
keen disappointment Many young
women would have given up the hope
Of making career for themselves af-
ter this setback. but not SO Miss Fer
ris. She went to work deliberately to
discover another profession. She had
always been fond of art and decora-
ton. In her work in the hospital
wards the things that struck her most
and palled upon her were the bare
ness and necessary austerity OF the
surroundings. Her eyes longed for
beauty. for color. harmony in shape
and tone. She thought first of taking
up portraiture. but, realizing that she
was not skillful enough with the brush
for this. she decided to be an interior
decorator. So scarcely had she

It was after she had finished a
short course in the art school that she
went to Europe. On her return she
went to work in the shop Of an interior
decorator, where she remained three
weeks. At the end OF that time she
decided to start In by herself.
Her friends tried to discourage her.
1t was perfectly impossible. they told

to buy NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sewing

liza OF her trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident OF her own ability and her
own judgment. She borrowed five
hundred dollars, took a tiny office In a
first-class office building in the New
York shopping center and waited to
make good. In the meantime she told
everyone she knew about her plans,
and kept up with the alumnae activi-
ties of her alma mater.
One Of the first orders that came to
her was to decorate the home Of Miss
Woolley. the president of Mount Hol-
yoke college. Not long afterward the

center OF New York and Miss Ferris.

There are many sufrragists Of wealth

they came to the suffrage shop to buy
