HOTEL FOR WORKING GIRLS
WILL WELCOME DAN CUPID

Provision for a hotel for working
girls in which Dan Cupid, so far from
being excluded. will be welcomed with
open arms, is made in the will of
Charles B. Webster, who made a be-
quest of $1325,637 for the purpose.
George Townsend an attorney for
the estate. and secretary of the cor
poration which has been formed to
construct the hotel, says:
THE hotel will not be operated on a
basis of strict rules. We have decided
that marriage is the goal of all single
women. especially girls of the working
classes. There will be any number Of
reception rooms where the young wo-
men who live in the hotel may see
young men. There will be no restric-
tons on the normal life of an unmar-
ried young woman"
Mr.. Webster was one of the found :
ers Of R. H. Macy & Go. He died on
March 16, 1916.
The total estate left by Mr.. Webster
amounts to s4239.041 and has a net
value of s4.047,557 He said that the
purpose of the bequest was 'to gen.
orally improve the conditions of I'M
married working women and particu-
larry to establish, maintain and con-
duct apartments for occupation by I'M
married working women. regardless of
their religious belief or nationality,
and wherein they may find comfortable
and attractive homes"

PHILADELPHIA DOESN'T WANT A
DIVORCE COLONY

FINDER existing law a New York busi-

After he has established his residence
here for a year he can sue his New York
wife for divorce in the local courts, charg-
ing desertion. lie can serve notice of
suit ON her boy publication in an obscure
newspaper, which the wife may never
see, and then secure the divorce by de-
fault because OF her nonappearance in
court.
This Is possible because the General
Assembly of 1918 permitted the granting
of divorces after one years residence and
the General Assembly Of 1915 permitted
the service of notice by publication. These
changes in the law have resulted in such
grave scandal that the Law Association
Of this city authorized its committee on
legislation last June 20 take such steps

LLOYD GEORGE AS A STOP-GAP
Belief England That the Press Will Demanding New
Premier Before March-Can AsQuith
Come Back?
BY GILBERT VIVIAN sELDEs

erals have no intention OF being left out in
the cold When the war ends, because they
have their own IDEAS of trade and Industry
ana reconstruction after the war. Aso.
the betting is even that the press which
demanded this ministry win he bowling for
another one before ncNt March. a lot de-
pandS on the fate of the armies in France
in that time.
y revolution in the form of the British
Government has been made, for this is the
hrst time that Premier has gone ont
without vote in the House Of Commons
against him, But a great many persons be
lieve that the real significance of the move
Is not in the break with tradition The
serious fact is that Mr. Lloyd George has
lrumped the Liberals card and taken the
Labor party into the Government. As
result, members of the Labor party are
saying that there can hc no such party
after the war It viii split and go with
one or the other of the dominant groups,
but keir iardies dream Of a separate labor
force will be ended. Opposed TO that gloomy
view is the belief that AIr Lloyd George
VIII either willingly or under upmpuision
make vast concessions to ahur and VIII in
siitute great reforms.
