The second floor Is set apart for sleeping rooms, and there is also a large lobby and sitting room, and the third floor Is exclusively for sleeping purposes.

Mrs, Frederick Cole, president of the Nebraska federation, has been re- appointed to the civil service committee. This committee will have a new chairman this term, Mrs. Imogene Oakley of Phil- udelphia, succeeding M Sarah Platt Decker. Mrs, Anna R. Morey of Hastings, Neb., has been asked to serve on the art com- mittee of the General Federation. This ap- pointment 13 made In recognition of the standing the Nebraska federation made in its art work, ranking second among all the state federation in its reports. The directors of The Greche wlt hold their regular monthly meeting 'Wednesday. One important topic to be considered at | this meeting s the plan for the annual plenic. \ The appreciation felt by the directors of the Young Women's Christlan assoclation for the work dong. here by Mrs. Emma Byers, who has just put aside the dutles of general secretary of the Omaha asso- clation to become a natlonal worker, is expressed in the following enthuslastic trib- ute of the president of the board, Mrs. ‘W. P. Harford: “I wish 1 could command words ade- quate to express the appreclation of our assoclation of Mrs. Emma F. Byers and her work for us In the nine years of service as our general secretary. With the culture of a Christian home and of the schools, her experience in city and state assoclation work, and as a pastor's wife, her sympathy with girls, her tact in man- agement of her assoclates, and her excep- tional executive abllity, have been strong factors in the development of our assoc tion from a.few hundred members to the present splendid stauding. fler versatile gifts have won to the association hundreds of young women from all walks of life, as well as the confidence, interest and sup- port of hundreds of our best citizens. Her deeply religlous life, free from cant and sectarianism, has been stamped upon every department of work. Her other coworkers, the secretaries, also expressed their appreciation in no uncer- tain terms, Friday afternoon they sur- prised Mrs. Byers by glving a luncheon for her in one of the club rooms; and again surprised her by presenting her with a handsome walrus traveling case. The party included all the secretaries, who are now In the city: Miss Sabra Wilson Miss larriett Schaeffer, Miss Ora Johmson, Miss | Mrs. Miss @ihel Hendee, Miss Lilllan Loftus, Theodate Wilson, Mrs. Clara Mead, Florence Liljeros, Instead of placing the sun dlal, which ‘s 1o mark the path of the Oregon trafl in ity entrance to Omaha, that Js at Rivervi park this summer, the Daughters of t American Revolution have decided to p pone the veremony until the more enthusf astlc season of the year, October.

In all of | New York at the present time there arg. only two small hospitals where women are recelved and extended the same oppor- tunities as the men in securing that train- | ing which 1s considered almost indispens- | able to any one who desires to practice medicine. Miss Jesslo Ashley has ‘been elected treas- urer of the National Woman Suffrage as- sociation, with an office at the national headquarters in New York City. Miss Ashley is a daughter of Ossian D. Ashley, Wwho was president of the Wabash raflroad for many years. She is a sister of Clarence B. Ashley, dean of the New York Uni- yersity-Law school. She studied for several years in Berlin and took the three-year course at the New York University Law school, receiving the degree of LL.B. In 1%2 and master of laws in 13. She prac- tices law and is also Instructor of the woman’s law school of the New York Uni- versity Law school. Miss Cleghorn of Sheffield, England, elected recently vice president of the Ni tional Union of Teachers. The union h about 67,00 members, the women outnum- bering the men. Miss Cleghorn is head mis- tress of a Sheffield school, and is on the consulting committee of the Board of Edu- cation. It Is expected that she will become president of the union next year. How She 'ves, Moves and Looks, as Viewed by an Admiring oreigner. The American, girl is in revolution. Sho means to be quite good-humored about it, |everigay, and certainly will not permit any blundering such as the men have made in their bloodthirsty revolutfons, writes J. B. Yeats, the Irish dramatist, in. Harper Weekly. Hitherto she has steered her course by /studying the men's faces, as mariners used !to watch the pilot stars, ‘She got her will by pleasing the men—enjoying the sweets of power, while all the time pretending oniy to enjoy the sweets of submission. Shc inow means to please herself and to be auite frank about it. She is faceito face | with he ~quite another kind of contest. consider ft—the woman interested in | surely it is a new thought. She is herself according to .the dictates jof her own heart, and not according to the will and the opinfon and caprices ot the max She means to beswoman-made, | and not man-made. She will still advise| |him and befriend him, for she knows that | withaut her assistance her old partner and | friend would quickly come to grief. But| {she will no longer humor him.

America are .continually drawing| toward one another.in a closer alllance,and friendship. While they were parasites living on the smiles of thelr men-kind they hateg one another as only parasites can all wonderful and beautiful, and the | are full of anxfety. They dare not attack, and they do not know How . to de |fend themselves; they only hope that'the| women may relent and things be as they wore, % The ancient European \dea of chasming | | woman is of a radiant creature in front ot | & large mirror, finding in her ‘image | |pleture which the artist must conttnually touch and retouch with an exacting orit)- | {elsm which and never satis- | fled.

At once they are attentive, and it is most touching to watch their eyes so serlous and so candld, with the new-found desire of truth., English women will some times discuss these questions, but their interest 1s academic and languid. These | others talk as if they feit a responsibility |for every word. The beautiful woman in- terested in an intellectual question and | realizing that it touches her interest is | surely a novel sight when, as in this case, she plays the game, keeping to the rules of logic. A disputatious woman of the sort we are accustomed to call a blue-stocking— a clever woman with & brain like an in- sect’s, incessantly active and also inces- santly futlle—is @ bore and a tease; a rest-killer, a sleep-killer, raw as a school boy, yet a grown woman. But a beautiful woman on the threshold of life, or In the midst of it, discussing questions of conduct and feeling, under such pressure of sin- cerety that she speaks every moment with the totality of her belng, s to my mind something novel. She s & new woman, she is the new woman. Let us prepare her welcome. * o far her kind are but few in number; presently they will come in battalions. Woman has often dragged down man; these will uplift the world, and they are American born, CHARACTER AIDS TO BEAUTY Good Featukes Not the Only Essentinl to Fretty Girl, Says an Artist. C. Allan Gilbert, knowi ad. the “pretty’ girl artist,”” has been.caught with the goods on, o to speak. From the easel be- fore him smiles a half-complete specimen of the famillar type, scarcely two hours old, while across the way, stacked against the wall, & pensive sister gazes forth. On the walls, on tables, from within {(h¢ covers of closed portfollos—almost—scores of Gilbert beauties bear mute Witncss against him. The artist pleads guilty. The people want them,” he explains in the New York Sun, and then quickly and gallantly, “not that I don't like to make them; but the fact is that the people #eem crazy over pretty girl pletures. hey want them in magazines, on the covers of magezines, in books, on caicn- dars, on posters. It's even hard for the artist to work a man in. The publishers keep telling how many more copics they sell of a magazine number with a pretty girl cover than.of an .equally good num- ber with @ cover of another sort, and cleve: too. “It seems, as if people would get tired and want something else, the demand has worn so many ‘years; but they still want pictures of girls, pretty girls of every con- celvable variety; girls in evening dress, girls in canoes and girls with tennis race quets, girls standing up and girls sitting down, in automobileés, in sallboats, and 'on horseback; brunette, blonde. or nefther, the only requirement being that they be pretty. *Therein lles tho greatest drawback } continues the artist. “As a rule.'people want tho faces to be too pretty, just that utter regularity of feature and form, you know. 1 used to like a placid face of thnt sort myself, but I've outgrown all that,” ho confesscs. “What in your mind constitutes beauiy in a woman?’ #Good features in the first place, nat- urally,” he answers, “and good lines and &ood coloring, but there's got to be some- | thing else, too; character, L suppose you'd call it. It is variations {n this that make | types s well as varlations in the physical characteristics. The trouble with people | ‘Benerally’ Is that they arc satisfled with perfection on the' physical counts to the exclusion of all else.” “How did you happen to realize thé ud- vantage of drawing these . pictures of pretty women 7" “I'd ‘been making fllustrations for_foges and I sent in a bunch of girl heads of all kinde. 1 hadn't thought of using them all together, but the editors did and fixed up | some _verses about ‘Which would - you choose? and published them that way; that made a hit, and I've gone right on dawing pretty women. “I regard it as a means to though. Not that I haven't enjoyed (uis work and still enjoy it," he hastens to add, ‘galiant again, but every artist haz ambitions just as every actor, down in hll’l heart, has . asbiratfons to play Hamuet There Is pecuniary advantage in pleasing people, and I'm pleased if I satsfy pe ple;« but I'm hoping next year to begin carrylng out some ideas 1 huve for mural decoratlons.” an' end, 1t was niglh Wild eries of “Fire! peaceful naighborhood. blaze had broken out | [ herc's a horse in there!” yclled some Y. “You go and turn in an alarm, stranger, who seemed to have the tire." “I'll take the horse ont.

In the opinion of Mr. Sturges, there is no servant problem. He sald he never had any difficulty in keeping housemaids or cooks in his employment. “Mrs. Sturges and 1 make :t a rule,” he said, “to treat our employes as human beings, and I never.have known one of them to exprees a desire to leave us to ac- cept employment in any other home.” Mary Fallon 'was employed by Mrs Sturges as & housemald in 1888, and hax remained; continuously in_her. employment For several .months she has been in il henith, and a physician advised her to take a long, rest. “Mary, of course, can return to our home whenever she desires Mr. “It she is unable to work at the expiration ot her year's vacation, we will provide for her for the remainder of her days.
