Lady Emmett and Jessie Stephen, gen.

by means of letters to the Duily Chron-
fcIe this week on the question whether
domestic service is healthful or not
Lady Emmett, chairman of the Do
mestic Workers Friendly Society, quotes
that organizations insurance statistics
to prove that servants are healthy, writ
ing: During the last eighty years
among $4,000 members of the society
the number of cases of sickness has been
less than half what the Government
actuaries calculated and the society has
accumulated and realized surplus of
f125, 900 despite increased benefit pay
ments"
Mrs. Eustace Miles. a prominent well
fare worker insists that domestic service
Is one Of the most healthful occupations
open to women. II am not In favor of
too many labor saving devices" she
writes. 1T is labor spent and not labor
saved which makes servants healthy.
Bedmaking is splendid exercise. Sweep
ing carpets with hard broom Is an
other. In my house always have the
carpets swept with hard brooms once a
week in addition to using carpet
sweeper daily because the exercise Is
good for the servants and have taught
them to like It."

This great change In the artists rep

At night Constantine frequently

this dream. which NJ. Demely Is con-

to him In Paneas. where he saw a

heels are black.
Dealers say that women are going In
stronger every day for styles In shoes
and owing to an increase in demand
of so per cent. astonishing varieties
have been made necessary. In many
cases reinforcing buckles are used as
well as lace. feathers. embroidery. flower
petals, butterflies and braid. Shoes are
OF every color. ranging from black to
plum and flaming red.
An exhibit of emerald green boots had
black snakes hand painted on them.
Heels are highly decorated. Some of
them are studded with brilliants and
others show figures and girls heads
hand painted on them. The idea seems
to be to convince the public that there
is nothing like leather. for there is
leather in every shape and form on ex-
hibition. There are colored leather
gloves to match the boots, navy gloves

over the prospect that the War Office
will assign regiments OF infantry to
garrison duty there during the winter.
II Minister Of War Barthou carries out
the proposed scheme 1t will mean the
end of Riviera gambling. as the law
provides that baccarat and other games
Of chance cannot be operated publicly
in towns where troops are quartered.
This would not affect Monte Carlo
however. which still has Its status as n
municipality and Is not affected by
French military regulations. Owners OF
resorts are submitting objections to
their Senator'S and Deputies. showing
that not only do the Riviera cities not
have sufficient accommodations for
thousands OF officers. unless the tourists
are TO be turned out of the hotels and
villas, thereby reducing the states
revenues, but also that the gambling
annually yields millions to the Treasury

One Of the romantic businesses" of
London. the Lyons Tea Shops. celebrated
its twenty-fifth anniversary this week
with something more than tea--by the
acquisition of the famous Trocadero
Restaurant, long controlled by the late
Sir Joseph Lyons. and by the insertion
OF one Of the largest and most costly
single advertisements in newspaper
Four solid pages in the Daily Mad in
which advertisers pay rate based on
circulation Of nearly a million and a

of the romantic business"
The romance in connection with the
Lyons Tea Shops lies In the fact that II
had an American stepfa ther, although
1t is strictly British institution aud

concerned.
Joe Lyons had begun catering in a
small way at the Newcastle Exhibition
and had prospered. extending his busi-

Circus. came to England scouting FOL

catering and could find no one who
would take that contract until they dis
covered Joe Lyons. After taking him
to America. that he might learn what
the circus wanted, he got the contract
at Olympia, and the circus opened In
1899. Lyons did so well with the con-
tract that he laid the foundation for the
present huge business of the firm. The
whole story was told In the advertise
ment here this week by Montague Gluck-

London. Oct. 8.
Albert Hall whose acoustic properties
are similar to those Of an Iron boiler
holding 1900 people, has been the
grave Of more than one singing reputa-
ton. but the voice Of Chaliapine, the
Russian basso who has been singing In
the Soviet Opera Company In Moscow,
conquered its worst vagaries this week
II was one of the most enthusiastic
concerts ever given in London from both
a popular and critical standpoint.
Chaliapine went the whole range OF
his concert repertoire. from booming the
sorrows of the Russians with his Con
vict Song to the rollickng absurdities
of Musorgsky's 1.-The Fleas' Song and
the tenderest passages Of native love
cadences tinged with the sorrow that Is
in Russia to-day.
He was generous with his encores,
but when the crowd demanded the great
aria from Boris Goudonoff'' he stepped
quietly to the edge Of the platform, and
when the audience had become quiet
expecting him to sing he gave the
crowd a lesson in music boris cannot
be sung except In OPERA" he said.
5Chaliapine In discussing his own voice
SAYS that he has striven during all his
singing life to improve his timbre. When
the timbre Of Caruso's voice was men,
toned he replied:
"Ah. Caruso, he had great voice,
but the real italian voice OF all ages
was that Of Macini. Caruso's voice
would have gone as he got older. Macini
sings when. he is an, old man and VIII
sing and sing gloriously until he dies.
When sang with him my soul was lifted
heavenward by the timbre OF his voice
and have always tried to initiate 1t
thus And he produced the marvel
lous bass flageolet effect which had
thrilled his hearers at the concert.
