Mrs, Morsman's tea brought out the swells in large numbers, while the dancing party given for Miss Colpetzer was partici- pated in by the younger society, the debutantes lppking particularly well on this The lie prosent week, however, gives evidenco of increased pleasuro, and everybody seems willing to commenco the gay whirl onco more. . The life of the girl "who goes to Wellesley In pursuit of a liberal education is not an un- attractive one, She has lawnsand meadows, wooded places, a lake and beautiful build- ings, all in her own domain, She doesn't have more mental work than the young woman of the period really b tittle physical labor, 10 fc spirit, and she has all the outdoor sport she want The exercises of the day begin with chapel AL 8:20 o'clock. The students are summoned by the strokes of a great iron bell, brought from a Buddhist temple in Japan. This bell is placed on the third floor of Collxge hall, ju the middle of the buildihg, and is rung for all house appointments, After chapel the students separate for their various classes. From 9 until 12:30 lectures and recitations are in order. Then comes luncheon, and after that, from 1:30 until 4:45, there are more recitations and lectures. Most of them, however, oceur in the morning. After about 3 o'clock the scene changes, The sober student flings asido her books and seizes hor racquet and hies her to one of the twolve tennis courts that the Wellesley campus boasts. Or she rows on Lake Watau, which 18 in the coilege confines, or she rides a bicyele or tramps with right good will. Then she goes back to her room in College hall or in one of the ‘*cottages” built on the grounds, ach cottage has, in additiou to the students’ rooms, its parlors and hails and cosy nooks, A wmatron and forty or fifty students live in each, "Phe liprary is in the main building, Col- lege hall, and contains 44,000 volumes.

Sud- horough has made it a custom to give Mr. Sudborough a dinner after the close of the campaign to which he in turn has invited the successful candidates and a few con- wenial friends, But Mrs, Sudborough never appears on these occasions, allowing the gentlemen to felicitate as much as they de- ired without the interference of the gentler willing to exilo herself possibly to the erseeing of the culinary department, that her spouse and his friends might fully real- zo that a woman's thankfulness is that the smoke of the ballots is lifted.

Judgo Berka rocited soveral post-election voems, while Mr. Olsen told stories in Danish that caught the fancy of the guests, probably because the language was little understood. Mayor Bemis and Mr. Cornish talked of Utopian reforms in assing votes and Mr. Sudborough ave reminiscences of the campaign and the he had to deal with in keeping ticket from being scratched. s an evening of thorouzh enjoyment to the guests who had every reason to con- gratulate one another “over the walnuts and Vanilla lee croam.

THE SEX DID ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING Something About the Characteristics of the City of the Saints. Savr Lake Ciry, Nov, 8,—[Correspondence of Tur Ber |—Notwithstanding the faot that Salt Lake City has been “‘written up” innumerable times Mormondom possesses an intorest that evon a visit cannot satisfy. [ noticed this particularly on two occasions recontly—in the triumphant tour of tho Tabernacle choir to compote for the grand chorus prize at the World's fair some timo sinco and the dense crowds which thronged the Utah building (whose entranco is through a fac-simile of the famous “lagle wate” erected by Brigham Young hers) at the White city. There scems to possess the castern people, and especially those of the, extreme east, a feeling of curiosity that a Mormon looks odd or has the appearance of something en- tirely different from the ordinary resident and taxpayer of this great couatry of ours, When the curiosity of these peopis is gratified thero is a feeling comes over them likened unto & man who picks up a tin tobacco tag under tho improssion that it was a dime, for even in this, the “Capital City of the Suints,” it is dificult to distinguish the difference between (entile and Mormon unless the question of religion 1s brought up. alt Lake City possesses some curious features, however, some that the ordinary visitor may have overlooked. The city is 1aid out in blocks four times the size of those in Omaha and the strects are twice as wide ‘apitol avenue, hence, if you are a stranger in the city and inquire where a certain number can bo found, and you are told that it is just two or three blocks up the street, you are fooled regarding the distance Jjust for once, for two or three blocks means W walk of halfa milo. Throughout those blocks. in the old part of the city, no aileys run and the houses are scattered promiscu- ously over the blocks, making ingress and cgress extremely difficult. ‘This has become inlate years a serious matter, as the city grows and assumes metropolitan vpropor- tions. Kate Field Thinks So, and Appsals to the Record to Prove It—Administrative And Architectural Resuits, and the Varled Exhibits, Copyrighted by Kate Field Syndicate, Wash- ington, D. € 1t is fortunate for women that they had nothing whatever to do with the general wmanagement of the fair. Their admimstra- tion has been confined to their own sex, thin the limits of the Woman's building. Though somo of the best exhibits of women were on view in the Manufactures and Arts buildings the Board of Lady Managers had little to do with them, except to fight for their admission. TLittle in one sense, this fight for justice was everything in another, as Mrs. Palmer states in her oficial roport Without it women would have been almost excluded from the exposition, except in the ‘Woman’s building. 'Now, then, what havo women done in that Woman's bullding besides making themselves ridiculous and fighting like cats and dogs? The building was as dark as a pocket. 1 couldn't seo sevéral exhibits, notably those of New South Wales and Mexico, and there is no sonse in separating tho soxes. There should no more have been a Woman's building than a man's building.” So spake a clever i, who was enthusias- tically supported by his wife. “Yes,” echoed the wife, ‘‘women should stay in their own sphere. They have no business capacity und always muddle what- over thoy touch. I'm disgusted with them.’ 1f this opinion were confined to cno house- hold it would be unworthy of notice; as it is* shared by thousunds it deserves considera- tion, 1n the first vlace the Board of Lady Mana- gers comparos most favorably with the na- tional commission, though the former was taken direet from private life, while the latter was more or less used to public affairs, The women had spasms of unwisdom, which reports ex ted ; considering their man- ner of appoinvment I am amazed at the gen- eral level of capacity. No scandul has been mixed up with them, no charges of dishon- esty. The Adelity to work of the various committees is proved by results. That the Woman's building is better adapted to the reception of people than the reception of exhibits is certainly true. The first floor is dark, but Miss Hayden’s build- ing is not unique in this respect. Various exhibits in the Manufactures building were killed by being stowed in dark recesses. Bx- ternally the Woman’s building pleases the eye and harmonizes with the ensemble of Jackson park. Refined, aignified, unob- trusive, it well expresses a sex thatis only beginning to feel the artistic power with which nature has endowed it. That Miss Hayden more than realized expectations has been shown by the esteem in which she is held by so clever a critic as Director of Works Burnham and by the award of a medal from a jury of architects that re- fused to honor the government building and the Iilinois state building, both designed by men. It Miss Hayden had conceived the latter women would have reason to be ashamed. As it is, they can congratulate themselves, not only on the woman architect of the fair, but on the women decorators. Opposed to a Sepuration. On general principles I am opposed to a separation of the sexes, I believe men and women are vastly akin to a puir of scissors; both are needed for the complete evolution of anything and everything. Firm in this faith I began by seeing no necessity for a woman’s building. After five months’ ob- servation I am convin of its utilit, all the world were enlightened its ere would have been unwise: out the least un- derstood being oa earth is woman, even by her own self. Sho necded a revelation and has had it. 1t popularity be a sign of approval the Woman's building outranks all others. I never entered its portals without being op- pressed by an overflow of humanity. Every woman who visited the fair made 1t the cen- ter of her orbit. Here was a structure de- signed by a woman, decorated by women, managed by women, filled with the work of women. Thousands discovered that women were not only doing somothing, but had been working seriously for generations, Mauny of the exhibits were admirable; if others failed to satisfy experts, what of it? The sum totai filled a mission that is bound to produce good fruit. Women have gone home imbued with faith in their sex and in themselves. They feel that their kingdom 18 yet to come. Filled with ho termine to make the most of themselys Iivery woman manager will be a motor her community to s going tho wheels of progress. 1f, however, the next interna- tional exposition be deferred twenty-five years the Woman's building will not bave a successor. By that time co-operation of tne sexes will be so firmly blished as to put womnien beside men in management and to maie Lwo boards an extravagant anomaly. . The assertion of my critic’s wife that womea have no business capucity is Jaugh- able, considering how many women not only earn their own living butsupport families, Look at France and seo what her women are doing in business. American women cannot touch them in shrewdness and in- The cause of this capacity is to Napoleonic wars that drove husband and father into the army and forced women to look after themsolves. So well did they hold the reins as to have kept them ever since. Mind you, I thinkiv.a national misfortune that women should over be obliged toleave their firesides to wield the scepter of work, unless it be artistic but as the world is out of joint and women must be breadwinners, iu God's nawe lot them be given all the necessary tools. As to the lady managersof the World's Columbian exposition what is the verdict of congress? Leta national commissioner tell the story. “They have done better work and more of it than we have,” frankly adwitted the hon- estest of men. “I know what i'm talking about, because I've acted with both organi- zations, and let me tell you that out for Mrs, Potter Palmer congress never would have given the money for awards.

The Mormon population is chiefly English, and it is often remarked by English tourists that they see more to remind them of Kng- land here than in any other place visited in America. This is uo doubt true, for many of the shrubs and trees surrounding the lovely homes were imported direct from the old country.

The quaint old adobe homes, covered with English ivy and surrounded with beautiful flowers and fruit trees, that make this a most chaviing place to visit, are fast disap- pearing in the march of progress, for, as I said bafore, the city is fast assumiug metro- poiitan airs, but with its broad, well paved streets and permanent sidewalks, shaded with stately poplars, the snow-capped moun- tains at its back, the great Salt lake, the wonderful medicinal springs and the fertile valley, it will always bea delightful place to live, F.

Bosroy, Nov. 11,—The police have evolved a theory in explanation of the murder of Mrs. Toole and her daughter who have died from drinking poisoned porter on Weduesday night. They think that one of the two sons under arrest, if not both, deliberately mur- dered his mother, to whom the father had recently willed nlt of his proporty, knowing that tho father's death was only a question of a few days at the most, and that with both parenis out of tho way the proparty would be divided among tho children. Tho aeath of the sister, Mairgaret, the police think, was not planucd.
