Though varying In color of cover, theae year book are exact In else and very attractive, besides being easy of refer ence and adaptable. An improvement in arrangement of committees formerly suggested In the Bulletin Is repeated. There are mainly two kinds of commit tees of a state federation, business com mittees and atandln committees. Un der' the former would be classed mem berfthlp, finance, etc. The latter em braces those which have the vital work of tho federation in charge. To aeo arate theae. tn the year book lists would be much more effective and "work able."

For thla reason at . fHE LOCAL committee for the Bos I ton biennial convention haa Just sent out the following bulletin: The hotels committee have been asked the following questions In regard to hotel accommodations: 1. How do prices differ for rooms on different floors T S. How do they differ between out side and rear rooms 7 I. Are there any single roomsT 4. Ia there any reduction for two persons In a room or more? By referring to press bulletin No. 4, laeued last spring, it will be seen that In most of the hotels named, the prices vary according to alaa and location, and that the expense is lessened when two Set-sons share a room. At Hotel Ven ome, however, the price does not vary, and Is $4.00 per day single room for one person, including meals, $8.00 per day for double room with two persons. oouoie room occupied by one person is $.oo per day, Owin to the fact that the week of the biennial convention Is alao the week of commencement at Harvard and other New England colleges, it will be neces sary for delegates to engage accommo dations as early aa possible. Kooms cannot be definitely assigned until within a few weeks of, the bienni al, because occuoled bv ncrmanent boarders who do hot leave the hotels until near that time. All applications, however, will be put on file as soon aft received and. will be filled tn good season. For convenience end ease In placing delegates without confusion to commit tee or aruests. lists win do arranged ror each hotel and alphabetical lists of del' elates with the hotel to which eacn is assigned. All applications for nc- eommodatloris should be sent to the chairman of hotels committee. Mrs. Anna L. BaileV. 19 Richardson street Boston, Massachusetts. It , HE good and forceful things that Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson said dur ing' her stay in America, are now being compiled and pondered upon by those who heard her, and here is one that may appeal to the patriotism of American women. We ao not reel in cngmna tne wy the women feel in America. Here tho Women say that they have everything they themaelves want, and, thereforo, there Is no need for thorn to have any trouble about the obligation or tne Vote. Not many Wnmen in England would dare to say that. The women Who are rich feel more uncomfortable About It, they feel a little more obli gation on account of It. Show the men or tha women of England that they have a certain nubllo duty to preform. and Jiomehow or other they rtae to tho occasion. The duty of public aervioo la born in the British race. Any man who haa leisure looks Unon this pub lic duty In the way that he looka upon his duty to the church. It ia an Ideal before him, and he feela that- he- must give some or his time to it. women have this same feel In sc. Some of our richest women are beginning to feel that they muat share In public work. t tt at E wonder how thany women in this city know, much less appreciate, the work' 'that Is being done by .he Audubon society of this state.

Yes, out not m i.ur. woven sround one separate and distinct then he enters Into the real Interest of the book by taking the reader with him on an automobile trip over the continent. Thoae who have read Mr Miltouh's "Rambles" in various coun tries will have some conception of the rare pleasure In atore for them In a trip of this kind. The writer has unusual descriptive powera; he sees wltk both eyes and tells what he has seen in a vivid and picturesque manner. His are not the conventional boeks of travel, for lie alwaya leaves the beaten path of tour ist travel and seeks out the quaint and pleasant by-paths, which he manages to make far more Interesting than the nobler and grander features so dear to Cook tourists and the like.

That there is a vast difference be tween 'The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" as played by May Robsnn and the nutli or's first version of the story Is evi dent from the fact that Anne Warner re wrote the orlslnal five times before It appeared In book form, and then wrot the play twice before It was satisfac tory.

In themselves, are so trivial, but which have so much to do in making success or failure possible. The book Is dedicated to "The Com mercial Ambassador, 'The Man Who Sells Things' ".
