Jay Cook's old mansion is turned into

Salaries of Housekeepers.
'The best paid women in New York
city or any other large city," said a lead
ing employment bureau proprietor to
me yesterday, "are the first class compe
tent housekeepers. There are few wo
men who are really competent to take
charge of households like the Vander
bnts, the As tors, and so on, who are
willing to undertake it The competent
woman has had a large house of her own
at some stage of her life and has lost
her fortune. She prefers to make her
living in some other way than house
keeping, because it seems to her a lossof
dignity.
'In England women are bred to the
profession of housekeepers, just as they
are taught to be cooks, housemaids, lady's
maids and so on. Here housekeepers are
housekeepers by chance more than any
thing else. That is the reason' why big
Balaries are paid to really competent
women. I know one such woman who
enjoys a salary of $3,000 a year, has her
separate table and a servant to run her
errands. It is not infrequently that
salaries of $2,000 to $2,500 are paid."

Social Leaders In Mew York.
Of the people who are likely to be
Ixrought forward this winter more prom
inently than ever before as social leaders
in New York none will stand a better
chance of success than the wife of ex-
Secretary Whitney. She has already
given a few breakfasts and dinners that
bare been attended by the best people
here and in Washington, and she prom
iaes to give the Astors. the Vanderbilta,
and the others a very lively chase in the
matter of elaborate entertainments.
Mrs. Whitney is peculiarly fortunate
im having a house to entertain in a house
lxnlt on a princely scale, filled with rare
pictures and works of art. a veritable
museum of treasure. And to these may
"be added a superb chef, a retinue of
well drilled servants and a dining room
arge enough to seat forty couples at dm
jner.
Mrs. Whitney is as clever a diplomat
as was Talleyrand, and with a fortune
that brings her an income of half
million a year, she may be depended
-upon to more than hold her own in the
contest. One of her most intimate
tiends at present is Mrs. Joseph Pulit
zer, the wife of the owner of The World,
-who is also likely to be heard of during
the winter as an extensive entertainer.
Sirs. Pulitzer is a singularly attractive
woman, a delightful conversationist and
as charming a friend as one need have.

The Women Voters of Boston.
The action of 7,018 women voters of
Soston and its results show the effi
ciency of women as a factor in our mu
nicipal politics. In an election where
the Democrats carried their mayor by
12,000 majority, with two-thirds of the
council and board of aldermen, not a
-single person was elected a member of
the school committee who was not nomi
xtated and supported by some organized
body of women. The independent wom
en voters nominated eight candidates
and elected four of them, no one of whom
Ihad the Democratic nomination.
The Public School union also nomi
nated eight candidates and elected four.
Jbast, but not least, Mrs. Emily A. Fi
Held, the only woman nominated by any
party, received a larger vote and a larger
majority by 2,000 than any other candi
date, although not nominated by the
Democrats. The unparalleled fidelity -of
the women voters is shown by the fact
that out of 7,918 registered women over
57,800 are known to have voted, vwth good
seasons found for the few absentees. A
prominent Republican politician said:
You ladies can account for your ab
' eentees. We cannot account for ours."

of twenty-five old ladies in Ward 9, one

Brilliant Women Wanted. '
The interest and discussion which
Mrs. John Sherwood's delightful paper
on "The Salon and Its American Possi
bilities" have evoked, hazards the proph
ecy that society may take the matter
seriously in hand when the pedigree fever
has somewhat abated. Mrs. Sherwood
puts the case very clearly. American
women are equal to the task if they will
rid themselves of the groveling toys, the
selfish and sordid ambitions which now
debase them. Their wit, tact and intelli
gence, she urges, are undisputed. More
perseverance in study and less pursuit of
gilded follies would bring them to their
birthright of brilliant intellectual leader

Miss Margaret Elliott.
In Mr. Warren's All Souls' choir there
are some distinguished singers, chief
among whom are Miss Margaret H.
Elliott, the solo soprano, and Mr. Perry
Avenll,. the baritone. Miss JUliott is
already quite well known in New York
both as a concert and "society" singer.
She has been in this city only a year,
having recently returned from a two
years' course of instruction under the
famous teacher, Mme. Marchesi, and it
is to her schooling that she owes much
that is beautiful in her art. Miss Elliott
during her long stay in Paris' became
very well known among the members of
the lively American colony in the world's
capital, and often sang at the houses of
Mrs. Pell, Mme. Sulsemeyer and Miss
Fanny Reed. Her Parisian success has
followed her to New York. During the
last summer season she attracted gen
eral attention by the beauty of her voice
and face and the artistic quality of her
work. She has won several notable tri
umphs. She sang at all of Miss Leary's
celebrated "Thursdays," first at Bar
Harbor and later on at Lenox. New

Boose Plants.
Many plants taken up this fall and
potted for display indoors during winter
will show the want of skill in the gar
dener by drooping, by change of color of
leaves, and by other signs of - alowly
dying. When plants get to that stage
nothing will restore them but heroic
treatment, as none but a gardener can
restore them, and as gardeners do not
hang around our houses, to be at hand
in such emergencies, and as the. plants
will die at any rate, we will give a treat
ment which will save them if they have
not gone too far.

next day up to 150 degrees; pursue this

Mrs. Caster is one of the most widely
sought women in New York society.
Though by no means a society woman,
and permanently saddened by the death
of the general, she frequently yields to
the importunities or mends and goes
forth to become the life and soul of the
circle that she chooses to enter. Two
classes of society hold out welcoming
hands to this gifted lady; the literary
world, on account of the excellent books
that she has added to their libraries, and
the social world, because her name and
family entitle her to enter its domains.

Health of the Queen.
There is not the slightest foundation
for the story which has been going round
the papers that "the queen's health is
the cause of some anxiety in the inner
circles of the court." The queen is per
fectly well, and has driven out every
afternoon since her arrival at Windsor,
even on the coldest days. It is only nat
ural that the queen should not be quite
so robust and active as she was twenty
years ago, but she is in excellent health.

Blaine, Jr., told me yesterday that this
unfortunate young woman, who has seen
so much trouble, was trying her hand at
authorship, and that a novel from her
may be looked for within the next two
months. - Young Mrs. Blaine has had a
good education, has traveled and read a
good deal, and I am told that writing
comes very easily to her. As the public
knows, the young woman's circum

makes a profit of her litnrary Venture it
will be a most welcome ' one. At any
