Success.

The national board of the Young Won-
ems Christian Association did big thing
for the women Of the country in estab-
fishing the Grace Dodge Hotel in Wash
ington, D. c., judging from the favor
able comments one sees in the papers
and magazines testifying to its value to
women travellers. 1t was opened last fall,
Just opposite the Union Station plaza,
and is used exclusively for the woman
visitor to the Capitol. The hotel Of nearly
400 rooms is managed entirely by women.
1t is a freproof structure and has spien-
did hotel equipment throughout Miss
Mary Augusta Lindsey, the manager,
is a college bred woman Of broad ex-
perience has a corps of trained women
employees who look after the comfort OF
the guests.
So complete is the service that it con-
tains suites completely furnished for
mothers travelling with small children,
containing all Of the nursery needs. An
other feature which appeals to women
is what is called the valeting room,
which may be rented at a nominal sum
by the woman who feels the need of
pressing out wrinkles made by close
packing of her best garments.
AS the hotel is being used very gem

tanned for the exclusive use Of all the
guests located on that floor.
Women's conventions and delegates are
finding it a place greatly to be desired
for their gatherings and the hotel Is
giving special attention to convention
needs and equipment.
The fact that the national board man
agement will use the hotel as training
school for college trained women in hotel
management is evidence that similar
hotels will spring up all over the coun-
try, in the large cities where there IS
abundant proof of the needs Of them.
The hotel is named in honor Of the
late Grace Hoadley Dodge, the founder
of the national board Of the 7. W. c. a.
The hotel has gained some distinction
as being one of tipless fame. Any en-
ploye seen accepting a tip is subject

the staff At a recent discussion as to
what to do with such amounts IS have
accumulated in this way it was decided
to give the amount to the Colored Y. w.

Grace Dodge are loud in its praise Of

peace dollar, and the one we have been
so familiar with for so many years is
to be displaced. Since 1873 Miss Anna
D. williams, head Of kindergarten work
in the public schools Of Philadelphia has
looked out into the faces of those who
were able to own a dollar. She was
selected by George Moran, English sculp-
tor, when she was a student at the Penn
sylvania Acadamy Of Fine Arts.
The new peace dollar will bear the
likeness of Mrs. Anthony di FranGsci, the
young wife of the italian sculptor who
has designed the new dollar. The new
coin commentaries peace among the
nations.
