The death of Miss LetitiaTownsend of typhus fever iu the Riverside hospital was a very sad event. Miss Townseud was tho general secretary of the Girls' Friendly society. Her life had been given up to good work. Ilermother died last December, and Miss Townsond had nursed her assiduously during a long illness extending over two years. It added to the sadness of Miss Townsend's death that her brother, who Is rector of one of tho Protestant churches in At Innlio City, nnd her sister were not per mitted to see her during her last hours. This may have been u wise and reason able precaution of tho medical olilcer of tho health board, but it seems to us to Imvo been currying quarantine rules a little too far. Tliero is no reason why, under proper precautions, a visitor to a patient sick with typhus fever should catch tho diseaso any more than there is any reason why attendants nnd attend ing physicians should catch it. .Miss Townsend's death, independent of tho loss of her blameless and useful lifo, is a public interest because it is not known how she contracted the diseaso. About 10 days ago she went to St. Luke's hospital to complain of certain symp toms that might have been the result of a bad cold.

After all, the outside world knows very little about the real personality and life of tho sultan of Turkey.

Before Miss Townsend wns stricken down she was living at St. Anna's hull at 428 West Twentiotli. street. This is the headquarters of tho Society For tho Homo Study of the Holy Scriptures. Al though the remaining inmates of this homo were carefully watched, none of them developed typhus. There was no trace of typhus at her home, nor was Miss Townsend known to have boon in any house where there had been nn un doubted case of typhus fever. Now York Sun. Women In Chicago. There seem to be as ninny women out at work iu Chicago as there are women staying at home in Brooklyn. You can not buy anything outside of the gin mills without finding n girl clerk to serve yon and a girl cashier to take your money, or both together. If you ride on the cle vuted, you buy your ticket of a woman. When you get a stamp nt the postofllce, it is a girl who Borves you. The clerks in the newspaper offices are as apt to be girls as men. At the headquarters of the World s fair nnd in all the depart ment offices girls seem in tho majorit", Tho hum of their voices nnd the swish of their skirts fill the air. They are also in the public olllccs in the city hall. In all tho hotels, down in the lobbies, crowded with men nnd rank with tobacco smoke, the newsstands, flower stands, telegraph counters, jowelry stands, theater and railroad ticket stands and telephone offices nil nre managed by girls.

If the kingdom coming tor women ia one or varied industry, independence and tho right to work ns hard us the men, then Chicago is the nucleus nnd starting point. A New Yorker who has lived here for a year or more was asked what he thought of the revolution. "It is good for tho women," said ho, but it is hard for the men. The wom en have more liberty, more money aud more ability to take cure of themselves iu all the emergencies of life. They nun nt marriage the same ns other women do, or should, but they have time and op portunity to wait and wed shrewdly so shrewdly often that I think Chicago will found a new race of beings sharper in trade than the Hebrews, born of sharp mothers who have chosen sharp hus bands.

It is the feminine instinct to "look protty" at any cost, but how will it ever be beaten into a girl's head that when she seeks her living iu the field with men this natural coquetry must be aban doned and her aim concentrated in tho endeavor to look "suitable" instead? If a woman is gifted witli a trim, natty figure, n neat foot nnd ankle, tho suitable business dress, which is short in skirt mid severely simple in stylo, will not disfigure her nor tend to lessen her physical attractiveness.

There are probably not many American women who would euro to invite compar ison by placing their gems beside the glittering array of the German empress, but there is at least ono in Chicago who could do so smilingly, sure if not of out shining, certainly of not being outshone. This woman is Mrs. Potter Palmer. At the various balls she attended lust winter Mrs. Pulmer's diamonds were tho envy and admiration of every woman who saw her nrrayed in nil their daz zling splendor. It is safe to say that members of the foreign legation who bowed over her small hand nt the dedi cation bull last October will uevcr for get the picture she made. It is doubtful if even European courts could produce so brilliant and beautiful an ensenible. On such occasions Mrs. Palmer wears a diadem of largo diamonds finely matched and exquisite in color. This almost encircles her head, and each point of the gorgeous coronet is tipped with a large and costly pearl. Disused about her corsage are two ropes of dia monds, which are generally caught up by a beautiful brooch of diamonds und sapphires. Lesser ornaments in the shape of stars, crescents and circlets aro pinned to the front of her bodice, and at her ears hang large pearls. Chicago Herald.

A IMiicky YVomun'a Siiccen. something more than years ago Miss Jennie Stevens entered the govern ment sorvieo nt Washington as a depart ment clerk. For 81 years she pursued the weary round of her work. At the end of that time she lost her position Sho was no longer young, and us she was familiar with no sort of work save that which sho had been doing for so many years sho found herself without nieuns of Bupport. As a recreation after her hours of work sho had taken some les sons in pen painting on velvet. As she was extremely fond of work of this sort sho made up her mind that sho would try to secure a few pupils. In display ing her work for tins purpose she met a woman who saw that she had talent and who told her that she was wasting her time in painting with a pen on vol vet, and that she should take her colors, brushes and a piece of matting and see what she could do m the way of deco rative work. She acted on this suggestion, and for two years kept body and soul together by teaching while she taught herself. At the end of that time she had gained much, and withal some recognition ns an artist. She decided to try for pub lic recognition nnd painted three pic tures for the exhibition of the Koval In alitute of Painters nt Piccadilly, Lon don. A thousand pictures were sent to the committee of artists in JewYork, und among the 20 selected as representa tive of America were the three sub mitted by Miss Stevens. Not only this, hut for one of her decorntive works she received a prize in money and for an other a diploma. While she has been successful in lnith oil nnd water colon J sho excels m purely decorative work. Sho is especially sncressful in painting tnjiestry.

A great deal is being said and written just now on the subject of suitable dress for a luisiiioxn woman, and out of the mass of suggestions something admira ble is bound to come. But women are queer "kittle knttle." and we have yet to see one who shall admit there is any dif ference between her employment and tho idleness of her neighlmr. The mo ment women are sejiarated from each other by this question of drew, or "a dress," tlmt moment that dress, however suitable, ticcomes an imixxisibility and no longer desirable in their ryes.

At the informal noon hours of Easter week Mrs. Cleveland received between 300 und 000 ladies each time, standing alone by the door of the red parlor, and barely having a chance for a word with those whom she knew as the procession of strangers streamed in. To those who have not seen Mrs. Cleveland during the four years since she left tho White House she seems to have changed in ap pearance, but for the better. She is stouter und matronly in every way. Tho simple manner of dressing her huiris vastly becoming, and the pure white colorless complexion udds a refinement and distinction to her face. No one has been more maligned by the sunlight than Mrs. Clevelund, and the new pho tographs that have been on sale this spring are the reverse of flattering, More of the photographs taken just after her wedding are seen and sold hore than of the prints from negatives made at Laltowood last winter. There is as much churni and cordiality in her manner us ever, with more dignity and repose than before the simplicity, directness and ease of a woman fully at home, aware of and equal to the requirements of her po sition.

Lighter rules for mourning prevail at present than have been in vogue for many years. As in the keeping of Lent, the observance of a time of strict seclu sion is softened greatly from its former nuBtere character. Possibly the Burial Reform association has had something to do with this. One of its objects is to discourngo tho wearing of crape and particularly of crape veils. Eccentrici ties will flourish, however, in individual cases. A young girl, just in her teens, was met the other day whose short frock was of bouibnzine trimmed heavily with crape, while a crape veil fell from the back of her round hat to the hem of her gown. Nun's veiling is more employed every year to take the place of the ugly, unwholesome and perishable alternative.
