In making public the design, which includes an arch flanked by elliptical colonnades, a park raised above th surrounding streets, and paventents of richly colored mosaics sBridg 5 Commissioner O'Keefe pronounces it without doubt the most artistic treatment of a bridge entrance ever attempted on this continent. “In Europe,” he justly adda, “this feature has received a great deal of attention, but up to the present time with few exceptions has been neglected in this country.” Here is a chance for New York to show that it means some time to claim its place among the great and splendid cities of the world. Never until now has it thus recognized the noble possibilitics of ite streets, squares and bridges, the desirability of spacious, fitting Approaches. The Commission for Improving Fifth Avenue pointed out only last week that the city has missed once and for all the chance to make the most of ite finest, most famous street, lbading to one of the few magnificent city parks of the world. All the more reason to, begin before it is too late a ayatem of bridge plazas that shall be not only a credit but a distinction to New York. The arch at the entrance to the bridge is an excellent idea, Re-| sides lending dignity to the great highway whose beginning it marke, | it also serves as an agreeable mark and bound to the eye in what must | otherwise always be—particularly in a long bridge—a fether tirs:-| somely far-reaching perspective.

Fifth avenue, for example, though impressive, is too long and open. he eye is vaguely tired and bored by the sheer sense of end- less perspective. How much an arch, or column, or statue, or fou tain rising in the middle of the etreet every twenty blocks or 60 would add to its effect! The eye always likes to rest upon familiar points and landmarks. They give it a pleasant sense of grasp and measure. It may be too late for anything of the sort in Fifth nue.

She was fond of chocolates, and wore fuffy hats and inorted gowns and plenty of expensive hair, Yet even these did not interfere with her having IDEAS of her own and holding down a seventy-fve-dollar-a-week position. Naturally, no man could “understand” her; and every new one she met tried to “reform” her and to convince her that she would be so much hap- pier to settle down and become somebody's “Rib” than to stand up with the aid of her own backbone. . “Look here,\ argued one of these Earnest Reformers, reproachfully, “don't you know that by working with your tender little hands and your adorable little head you are taking the BREAD out of some man's mouth? Think of the poor fellow who probably NHEDS your job and your salary! Why ehould YOU do this sort of thing, when you are so much more emi- nenily fitted to become a queen of the home?" “I know it,” returned the New Woman, sadly. “And there are times when I yearn to exchange my typewriter for a sewitg machine and to shut down my desk and turn my work right over to some bright, ambitious young man who is pining for a chance in life: But there is just one thing that deters me from carrying out my wish. “And what is that?” inquired the Earnest Reformer. “Well,” queried the New Woman, tentatively, “do you know of a nice, worthy young man who will ofer me a HOME and a wedding ring in return for my job?” ‘ “Wha-what!" exclaimed the Earnest Reformer, backing toward the door. “And who would spend this munificent salary on ME, if I passed tt over to him, instead of on an autemodile or flowers for some foottight fairy?” persisted the New Woman, 'Why—er—that is—not efactly at this moment,” murmured the Reformer, | How 010 SHE dot 8 JOHN ?

We may wish for more learning than {tt has been our fortune to get. Yet, on the whole, it 1s worth while to reflect that the housekeeper who has a sense of PRIDE in her work to such an ex- tent that she may perform it well and have time for other things has ar- rived at the HIGHEST mission of womanhood, With he ery of “advancement for woman," the very best educated women in the land, tn spite of all, agree that tho first lady In the home is as much the mistress of all she surveys as is Music.
