1 ' tereated In the Industrie eroiminiu
V Itallane, which Is an Institution In IUly
which waa established and la supported
, by a number of wealthy, women, whose
desire it is to preserve the native art
of lace making- and embroidery. . The
a older women had not forgotten the cunning-
of beautiful stitches, but for want
of patronage the -art had eunk to a very
low ebb. It waa a work of pure patri
otism on the part or mesa women, wno
undertook and aucceeded in putting on a
t- -paying - basis these ancient arts. The

Italian Institution started and largely

Bringing ueairaoie employment u many
: Italian girls who do not take kindly to
, t actosT work and find themselves re-
fpfla to doing piece work at ' home
which la detrimental both to tha health
of the worker and to tha consumer.
The Italian glrla seem to show an in
herited talent for this lacCmaklng, and
tha progress they make astonishes the
patronesses or the institution. The ae
. algna for all the laces are taken from
ntlaue examples, preserved in Italian
families, in museums or copied from
old portraits. Some exquisite stitches
were studied in palntinga by Botticelli.
- Raphael and othera. 'S,
- One of the most active patronesses of
- Rome. Miss Amari. consented to come
to New Tork and stay for one year to
get the institution well started and to
give the girls their first lessons. She
early became Interested in the work and
, studied herself until she became expert
In many of the most difficult stitches.
One difficulty at Richmond Hill la that
most of the girls have to be paid while
learning, as they are dependent on their
own exertions for a livelihood, but when
ones they hare learned they earn excel
lent wages. One Instance is of a young
giri who had been in the Institution but

' eel la on Punto Quadrcf: that Is a Retl-
eella lace over a kind of fine drawn
work. It took her alx week to do It, but
ahe received for It what she would have
gotten for three months' work in the
factory she came from.
m This last year the most exquisite lace
and linen shirtwaists and dresses have
been turned out from the Richmond Hill
achooL and with the present erase for
extravagant white costumes there is not
much danger that there will not be a
demand ror tne products ox me scnooi.
It Is in a way solving a very difficult
problem, too, by providing employment
for the Italian alrls the most helpless
of all oru foreign immigrants.
The officers of the achool are Miss
Colgate, chairman; Miss Amarl, Patron
, ess; Industrie Femmlnlll Itallane, dlrec

Oregon is hardly to be congratulated,
though, -upon tha fact that tha paltry
salaries paid her officials have made It
possible for another state to take from
her one of her most capable public serv
ants. What has been, said of Superin

An Efficient Worker
Did Much for Forestry.
During the past week many club
women have received a neat little Dtm-
phlet in memorlam of Mr. Lydla
Phlilpe Williams, from her friend and
co-worxer, Mary Alcott McKuslck. It
opens with a beautiful little four-stanta

almost tempted to wonder why the mas
ter called her from a field in which
ahe was doing her work so nobly and so
well, and a field In which she was try
ing to preserve the beauty and works
of the creator. Mrs. Williams' last and
most brilliant work was in the forestry
department of the general federation, of
which committee eha was for a long
time chairman and tb whom la largely
due the efficient work that organisation
nas done for the preservation of the
forests of the country.
Shortly before her death, which was
very sudden, she addressed th Amer

An Anti-Suffragist

In answering the argument of Ml
Blssell who is a paid employe of the
Antl-Suffraglst society, Miss AUco
- Blackwell aay In, part:
Miss Blssell says that "a woman's
first duty is to bear and rear good, cltl
gen." She Implies that women could
not or would not do this if they had
the ballot and she quotes the low birth
rate of France. But in France women
have not the ballot. On the other hand,
in England. Scotland and Ireland, where
women vote for all Officers except
members of parliament, rami lies arc
generally large a clear proof that thero
is no connection whatever between race
suicide and the ballot.
Miss Blssell said that "three fourths
of the women active in social or polltl
cal reforms in Massachusetts are anti-
suffraa-ists." Colonel T. w. Higgmson
who knows Massachusetts much better
than Miss Blssell does, thinks Just the
contrary. He says: "It Is a remarkable
fact, about which those who have
watched this movement for 20 years
can hardly be mistaken, that almost any
woman who reaches a certain point of
Intellectual or moral development, win
presently be found desiring the ballot
for her sex."
Any Colorado story coming from Miss
Blssell ought to be received with cau

HISTORY OF THE UNITED

By Elroy M. Avery- A very
clear Idea may be bad of the
period of time oovered by this
history from the author's preface in
which he ays "This volume 1 devoted
to the period between active coloniza
tion and the final struggle for the con
quest of New Frano. As a Whole, the
period herein treated 'the neglected
period of. American history,' lacks the
dramatic characteristics of the years
that went before and of those that came
after. It I convenient to divide it into
three part. One point of division coin
ciding with the accession of William
and Mary of. the English throne and the
other falling about 1716.

herewith given"-we have the elabora
tion of a British colonial system, the
enactment of more comprehensive nav
igation acts and the Introduction of
machinery Intended to secure their ef
ficient administration. These years were

"The Old Home House" By Joseph
C. Lincoln. To those who have been
privileged to read any or all of the
author's previous stories the announce
ment of a new book by Mr. Lincoln will
come as a pleasant anticipation, for of
course they will expect to read it; and
know they will hasten to do so, too.
The present book is made up of 11
short stories which, while ach is in
dispensable of the other, all have a con
tinuity of purpose. The principal Char
acters of the stories are those who have
figured more or less In Mr. Lincoln's
other, books and will be met again in
these pages with genuine pleasure 'And
renewed interest.
"Old Home House" was the property
Jonadab , Nixon's Aunt Sophrony had
left him "when she moved to Beulah
Land." and which had been turned into
a resort for "summer boarders" throuarh
the skillful management of Mr. Peter i
facile promoter kept filled, with boarder
until it became aune th fashion.
The stories are more or less about
the various persons who became guests
at "Old Home House," but are told with
the drollest, quaintest humor that ever
found -Ita way Into a book. Barsilla
Wlngate tells the stories and equally
share th honors with his old
Ttlllcum" Jonadab Nixon, who will be
remembered as. a pair of -old salts,
whose - humor - "was irresistible1 and
whose -philosophy was unquestioned.
