MISS CARRIE A. HOLBROOK, pres
ident of the Tortland Young
Women's Christian Association, left a
few days ago to visit friends and rela
tives in St. Paul.
The regular "i". W. C. A. board meet
ing wa3 held on Tuesday. Reports of
work in all departments showed
marked progress. The rooming de
partment showed a record of 2498
guests an increase of 1033 over last
year's report. The Traveler's Aid re
port was one of unusual interest. Spe
cial attention has been given in the
quarter to 2403 persons at the different
depots. The resume of the work re
vealed the wonderful work this de
partment is doinfr in the way of safe
guarding and caring for the girls,
women and children who are coming
constantly into the city on the differ
ent trains and boats. If the inside
facts about the work of the Travelers'
Aid department were generally known
the public could not but feel that the
Y. W. C. A. is doing a great service to
this community.
Mrs. Vincent Cook, who recently re
turned from. San Francisco, reported
that she attended a luncheon given by
the Young Women's Christian Associa
tion in their building on the fair
grounds to 225 members of the Col
legiate Alumni Association of Amer
ica, who at that time were holding
their biennial convention in San Fran
cisco. Mrs. Cook said that the majority of
the women present were in some way
Interested in Y. W. C. A. work. Talks
were made by the prominent members
about association work as it is carried
on in their own home cities. .
The North Branch Y. W. C. A. cafe
teria, at Eighteenth and Raleigh
streets. lenders a real service to the
people working in that vicinity. Situ
ated as it is near the wholesale and
manufacturing districts, many women
whose work calls them to that part of
the city find the North Branch a cheer
ful, homelike place, where they can
lunch in comfort and secure the best
of food for a nominal sum. Many words
of appreciation come to the workers
there from the business men, who also
come regularly to this place for their
noonday meal, for nowhere else, they
say, do they get such hot biscuits and
such pie. Miss Althea Lee is in charge
of this branch and she and her helpers
are greatly interested in the work and
in the girls who come and go from day
to day.
Miss Clara Donaldson, teacher of do
mestic arts, has returned from her va
cation and has taken up her work for
the coming year. Miss Donaldson
knows "what's what" about millinery
and dressmaking and girls in her
classes learn not only the first steps,
but the last steps in these lines of
work. Exhibitions of the work have
been given from time to time in the
association t-uditorium and the display
has done credit to "the department and
to the association.

Miss Margaret E. S. Fee. of New
York, a distinguished educator and so
cial worker, captivated the audience
at the Women's Civic Welfare Club at
the Library yesterday. She spoke in
formally at the close of Commissioner
Dieck's address on "The Detention
Home lor Uirls.
Miss Fee said that the home should
not be so far away that the girls would
be shut off from the advantages of
attending places of amusement, lec
tures and musical recitals. They should
be within reach of the good women
who would be willing to be their big
sisters. The location near the Poor
Farm was regarded by Miss Fee as a
great mistake. To be isolated, to face
an institution that spelled failure in
life is, in her estimation, no proper
condition in which the community
should expect unfortunate girls to live
and expect them to grow stronger
morally.
"But I don't like that word 'unfor
tunate,' " said Miss Fee. 'We are all
more or less unfortunate. Some are
naturally stronger than others. Some
have Jess temptation. Let us regard
the girls as our sisters and be girls
with them. Don't think we can trans
form them suddenly. Let us make them
want to grow better and brighter. Let
us give them pleasant surroundings.
Let them plant flower gardens. Let
them have the right kind of work and
the right kind of play."
The visitor formerly taught in the
State University of South Dakota. She
has also been connected with colleges
in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.

By Marie Dille.
M rm. Ruuell Saxc Ladr Bountiful,
THE first half of the life of Marga
ret Olivia Sage was spent in learn
ing how to earn money. The latter
half she has devoted, to learning how
to spend it.
Mrs. Sage found herself mistress of
a great fortune in a single day. after
having lived to more than middle life
on the' meager wage of a school teach
er. Before that she had solved the
great problem of scraping together
enough money to obtain a fair educa
tion. For eight years she has had
the stewardship of $70,000,000. which
she is spending according to the wishes
of her husband. Russell Sage, who died
a few years ago.
The fame of Mrs. Sage's philan
thropic activities has spread so wide
that the constant appeals for help she
receives has made her life a burden.
Into her home, daily, come more than
500 letters asking aid. Some of them
are pitiful entreaties; some are threats
of bodily harm and still others are
frank statements that the writers de
sire wealth.
Mrs. Sage is not given to promts
cuous charity. She has retired to se
elusion to avoid the constant lnpour
ing of requests for money and to es
cape the mob that surrounds her door
almost constantly asking for aid. Her
works so far include the endowment of
several great institutions of learning
and the founding of the Russell Sage
Foundation, at a cost of 10.000.000.
Largely owing to her own early life,
Mrs. Sage is greatly interested in
home and housing conditions of the
United States and particularly of New
lork. Her greatest work along thl
line has been done in connection with
the "foundation." She has built hun
dreds of homes for working men. sell
ing them at the cost of materials and
construction and on terms within the
reach of all who desire to accept.
Mrs. Sage has done much work
among girls and women. She has made
a gift of $1,000,009 to the Emna Wil-
lard beminary and one of $300,000 to
a Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. fund. She
has also endowed a hospital and a
home for indigent women. Several col
leges have received gifts of many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars from her.
Margaret Olivia Sage was born in
Syracuse. N. Y., September 8. 1828. She
is descended from Miles Standish and
from Colonel Henry Pierson. founder
of the public school system of the
United States. The family came into
reduced circumstances with the panic
of 1837, when Mrs. Sage was a child
of 9 years, and she was obliged to help
in the upkeep of the household. At 16
she entered Mount Holyoke College and
tried to earn her way through with
housework, but she fell ill and was
obliged to abandon her idea. Later she
entered the Emma Willard Seminary,
at Troy and after a struggle for self
support she at length succeeded in
completing her course and began teach
ing school.
For almost 20 years afterwards she
taught. At the age of 41 she met and
was married to Russell Sage, then a
struggling banker. Wealth came very
suddenly a short time later, but it
brought little change to their mode of
life. They continued to live simply
and Mrs. Sage did much of her own
housework.
She took a great interest in her hus
band's affairs and five years before his
death he left the entire care of his
fortune in her hands. Mrs. Sage has
an exceptional business brain. This, to
gether with her early experiences,
taught her to apply the money where
it would be of the greatest good. More
man .su.uuo,uoo of the great Sage for
tune has already been expended in the
endowing and establishment of educa
tional or medical institutions.
Mrs. Sage is small of stature and un-

Florence, So. Dakota. "I used to bo
very sick every month with bearing
down pains and
backache, and had
headache a good
deal of the time and
very little appetite.
The pains were so
bad that I used to
sit right down on the
floor and cry, be
cause it hurt me so
and I could not do
any work at those
times. An old wo
man advised me to try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and I got a
bottle. I felt better the next month so
I took three more bottles of it and got
well bo I could work all the time. I
hope every woman who suffers like I did
will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. P.W.Ilnseng, Box

of the joy of living, when they can find
health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetabla
