Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe returned last

a, specially appointed delegate by Gover
nor WeHt, to attend the Seventh Interna

"I am always glad to got home after
being sway a time," said Mrs. Coe, "but
never before have I been as rejoiced as 1
am this time. I was happy, when the
boat set sail for New Tork, snd happier
still When she landed, but the superla

reached Twenty-fifth and Lovcjoy

'But of course It Is the great gather

about and a wonderful conference it
was. The trip across the water was de
lightful and by the .time we landed I
knew a number of the women very well,
and they were charming,' brainy women,
too. One of the special delegations wii
made up of 20 members of the Women'
Republic, each of the 20 states having
a republic organization being repre

conference, once, as Dr. Viola May Coe,
being known in the republic by that name,
and again as Mrs. Ileiyy Waldo Coe,

having been made In that name. The
ladies had a good deal of fun at my ex

At a recent musio 1 teacher - conven
tloit held at Saratoga, the ' statement
was mads that . IsOO.OOO.oOO - is spent
yearly for music In America and In a

C. Freund, editor of Musical America
has given some statistios of universal
Interest. ' . '
He begins by giving a resume of con
dition in New York 40 years ago whstt
there were no musical paper, no era
practically all of the foreign women at
the conference. That may not sound Im
portant, and perhaps It isn't but it Is
nevertheless extremely striking to set
hundreds of women Just as straight up
snd down in the matter' of .waistline
aa though the corset was sn. unknown
thing td them. 1 underslsnd that Is the
prevalent fashion all over Europe, I
only visited In Uerlln and Vienna, and
It was true there. But the women them
selves are delightful, so I don't suppose
It matter about the waist line.
"The Pacific coast delegates were es
pecially well seated at the convention.
We tould hear and see everything, snd
that Is Muylng a good deal. for. there
were between SO00 and 3000 delegates to
be cared for. It was all done In perfect

which covers were laid for 1S0O, passed
off without rt hitch, the excellent menu
being supplemented with beautiful dec
orations and exquisite music, such ai
only Hungarlana can produce. ,
American titles with their much
wired streets might well learn a lesson
from ths Hungarians, who have their
electric charged wires under the cars
Instead of over, the wheels on one sldo
