"Yes , the work Is most fascinating , " said
Miss Qlcnroso IJell , In answer to my ques
tion , ns no Blond looking nt an cXrnil.ilto
design of orchids slightly conventionalized ,
upon ti cardboard some four or five feet
Bqiiarc , ready to bo punt to Ireland , whence
wrought Into boaullful damask It will re
turn to the United States In time for the
great linen sale ! of next January.
Miss Hell Is one of the very few artists
In America who design exclusively for table
linen ; and so charmingly effective and
adaptable Is her work that she hns been
solicited Kevcral times over to furnlih dc-
filgns for famous European houses. She Is ,
however , under contract to one of the largest
firms In America , with whom she has ar
ranged for the Hole right to her clever
Bkotchos , and earns n very largo yearly In
come.
Mis * Dell has been passionately devoted
to drawing from childhood , nnd has had the
bonoflt of a course In nrt at the Art Insti
tute of Chicago , nnd later on won her 13. A.
nt the university. She , however , never had
any specific training In design , but seems to
liavo been born with the gift fully developed
Her father , who Is at the head of the linen
department In a largo establishment , brought
homo ono day , while she was still In the
High school , an unsatisfactory designnnd
asked If she could not readapt It. Rho made
the attempt , aud was so successful that she
began at once to try her hand at original
designs , and was delighted to find that they
met with Immediate and eager acceptance.
"What nro my mcthnds7 Well , fashion ,
jou know , changes nearly ns often In table
linen as In alcoves. There Is nhvavs < = o < mo
prevailing Idea that runs through all lines
of artistic manufacture * * nail papers , car
pets , furniture , draperies , etc. It seems to
bo In the air , and not Infrequently originates
In the arts themselves. Kor example , take
the empire rage of a few years ago , when
Napoleon articles flooded the magazines , and
'N's , ' bowknots , 'wreaths ' , etc , were cncl-
lopaly repeated In the arts and crafts. As a
reaction from the small , delicate , conven
tional patterns of that period , everything
now must bo on n largo scale , and done with
a freehand. . My table linen designs must ,
of course , be more or less determined by the
general trend of the public taste. The poppj
and chrysanthemum , naturally grouped , were
amongst the nyist popular of my last ycar'w
designs , and I expect these orchids to have
a similar vogue next Reason. It usually lakes
mo about ten dajs to complete a design. I
then enlarge It to the sl/o It will bo In the
table cloth , drawing with a hard pencil on
medium cardboard ono full corner , with n
corresponding portion of the center. In
exactly this form It goes to our manufac
turers In Ireland and Scotland. The'differ
ence In the sizes of the cloths Is made by
Increasing or diminishing the space between
the border and the center. Whenever It Is
possible I draw directly from nature , fre
quently using colors In the beginning for the
better study of shading. Yes , the work keeps
mo occupied the year round , although I am
much busier at some seasons than at others.
Juflt now , for Instance , , I have orders , for a
largo number of designs , that must bo sent
to our manufacturers In Europe at the
carllrst possible moment , In order to be
ready for next year's trade. I am , there
fore , forced to use every bit of available
daylight. "

InIovv of the number of women now engaged -
gaged In business and the professions , says
the Chicago Tribune , It Is not surprising
that a hotel to be managed and used by
women alone IK announced as soon to bo
opened In the downtown section of Michi
gan avenue.
In a recent artlclo on "Municipal Affairs"
John Lloyd Thomas declares that In New
York City alone there -aro from 60,000 to
70,000 seVf-supportlng women and recites the
formation of a company 'to erect In that
city a woman's hotel to accommodate COO
guests , 'tho rooms to cost not less than $3
per week , board to vary according to the
choice of the guest and the rules to bo only

such as obtain In ordinary hotels. Ho as
serts that there is an urgent demand there
for "comfortable and cheap hotels for
women , " managed on a business basis , that
women can and will live .together In them
and that abuses ran bo avoided In them as
easily aa In ordinary hotels Indeed , ho de
clares that there exists "u rapidly Increas
ing need for all grades of permanent lodg
ing for women , beginning with the little
orphan cash girl who works from 8 In the
morning until 6 at night for (2.50 n weuk
and ending with the gentlewoman who
through misfortunes suddenly finds herself
confronted with the problem of how to earn
iicr dally bread. " This need , however , he
nllcgcs to bo especially marked In the cose
of women of Incomes from $40 to J50 per
month , who , not constituting a defined
group like working girls , have won ICES at
tention to their resldpntal needs.
Since the conspicuous failure many jcars
ago of the J'ark 'Avenue ' hotel , designed for
women alone , the feasibility of women's
hotels has been the t > ubject of much doubt.
It Is claimed , lioucver , that needless nnd
moddlraomo regulations killed that project
and that no such fate need befall such an
enterprise today.
U Is doubtful If many women would pre
fer thus to live apart by themselves and It
Is probable that In moat cafec * they would
feel as free und as much at home In an ordi
nary hotel , with Its possibilities of privacy ,
as In ono exclusively for their own sex ,
'tho chief rcabon why a women's hotel will
succeed , If It will succeed , Is the fact that ,
through greater nlmpllcliy In arrangement
and management a given degree of com
fort can there be secured at a lower charge
than In the usual hostelry.
The segregation , however , of Romcn from
men In their ordinary lives is not a thing to
bo desired and while In cases It may Involve
an Improvement upon otherwise trying con
ditions. It must still bo considered as a spe
cialized and moro or ICFH abnormal social
condition.

Mme. Isbcrt , a wolf known miniature
painter of Paris , says a letter from the
French capital , coco visited Uona Donheur
at Hy , and In the course of their conversa
tion brought out nn album In which she sold
Mile. Donheur might bo interested. In It
nearly all the great names In the literary
and artistic world of Krance for the last
fifty or sixty jears were Inscribed. Rosa
llonheur put on her spectacles , and , diawlng
her chair up to the table , spread out the
album before her. Immediately she became
Intensely Interested In Its contents. There
were pen and Ink sketches , water colors , n
few measures of music , poetry and philo
sophical and witty sayings , signed by such
men as Melssonlcr , Corel , Mllals , Salnto
Ileuve , Dnlzac , Victor Hugo , Dumas , Gounod ,
Massanet , etc. Looking up from the last
page the artist said abruptly :
"And now I suppose jou want Rosa Bon-
heur's ' name here , that Is why you bring
It. " With a most comical expression on her
bright llttlo face she peered over her spec
tacles at Mme. Isbcrt , who , much confused ,
stammered meekly that she would bo greatlj
honored to receive such notice. The artist
declared that she would be charmed to bo
In such good company , and , In her usual
businesslike way , took the measure of the
page , promising to draw tomethlng und send
it In a short time.
A few years ago Mile. Ilonhour wanted to
paint n plcturo of the wild little American
pony of the plains , of which she had often
hoard. She owmcd Breton , Arab , Norman
and I'erchcron horscH , but had no animal
In her stables to scr\e as a model for this
new picture. "Buffalo Dill , " hearing of the
artist's desire , ga\e her two typical broncos ,
and , using them as studies , she produced an
admirable picture , pronounced by critics at
the time to bo equal to the best of her pre
vious work. Not long afterward , In recogni
tion of Colonel Codj's kindness , Mile. Ban-
hour painted and gave to him a portrait of
himself on horseback. ,
The following amusing description of her
appearance and manner was given by a
newspaper writer who paid her a visit some
years ago and sought to obtain what the
artist most dreaded and avoided an inter
view :
"A funny-looking man came toward mo
knitting bis brows. Ho wore an enormous
straw hat. Under It was a soft , beardless
face , browned by the sun and lighted by
chestnut-colored eyes ; a smalt nose exagger
ated the size of the large mouth , with rows
of superb teeth , and there was a breezy flow
of long hair.
" 'Who are jou ? Where do you como from
and what do you want ? ' he said sharply ,
stoppling and thrusllng bis small hands In
Iho pockets of gray , ribbed trousers. ,
"This sharp questioning disconcerted mo
for , i moment , but , recovering , I answered
'I am a Journalist , and wish to sco Miss
Bonheur. '
" 'Well , look at her , " said the llttlo peas
ant , taking off his great hat. 'You must
excuse me ; I am obliged to keep Intruders
away. ' "
It Is Interesting to note that Mile. Bon
heur had no patience when she was at the
head of an art school with attempts on the
part of her girl students to Imitate her pe
culiarities of dress. With her these oddities
had como about naturally and for sufllelont
reasons ; iwlth them It was affectation , which
she woufd not toleiate. ,

While on a visit to New Yoik not long
ago a girl bad occasion to cash a check.
She hadn't much experience In such things
and tlio wasn't qulto sure how It ought to
bo done , but nho thought the best way waste
to present the document nt the bank upon
which it was drawn. At 9 o'clock , the hour
at which suburban banks open , the girl
presented herself at the portals of the
metropolitan Institution. The Janitor and
two or three scrubwomen were the only
human beings In sight , and the girl knew
enough to know that none of them could
cash the check. The Janitor , Indeed , looked
much shocked nt the slgtit of the girl , and
In no mild accents told her to go right
away and not to como around again until
oh , well , not until 11 o'clock nt any rate.
At that hour the girl returned , to find the
bank In full working order. She first In
dorsed the check neatly , nnd with nn extra
( lourlsh to the line btio always drew beneath
her autograph ; then , after presenting It nt
four wrong windows , she handed It at what
she hoped was the right ope. Apparently
It was the right window , but "H'm , " said
the man at the window , glancing nt tlio
signature. "You er you ah have you any
way of identifying yourself , VMlss Blank ? "
"Oh , no , Indeed , " replied the girl , sweetly ,
not having the least Idea what ho was talk
ing about. "Er well , " went on the man ,
"you Know some one , of course , who can
asauro us that you are Miss Blank ? " "No
ono at all , " answered the girl In George
Washington cherry tree accents ttio had
always been told to speak the truth , and
U wan n fact that at that tlmo she knew no
ono In the big city save the editor who had
Just given her the check. The girl nrt
student whom we was visiting didn't count.
"H'm , " said the man at the window ; "oh ,
well , " with a scrutinizing planes at the
girl , "you piobably do most of vour shopping -
ping when you come to town at nils &
Inches across the street. They might Iden
tify jou. " "Wo do all our shopping It
Boston , " replied the girl , who cornea from
n suburb of the Hub. "I never bought any
thing In n Now York shop until this week. "
The man looked again nt the check , then
he looked again at the girl. A queer look
cumo Into his c > es. "excuse me ono mo
ment. Miss Blank , " he said ; "I'll Just see "
and , he vanished. Dy this tlmo the girl was
worried. Could U bo that be wasn't going
to give her the mone > ? Why , there the
check was , made out In her own name , and
with her own name , that she had written
herself , right on the back of It. Suddenly
the girl remembered that In her pocketbook
eho had several visiting cards , they , of
course , would Identify her , and , with n
happy smile , she offered one of these to
the man when he returned to the window.
"Oh , It's all right. Miss Blank ! " he cried ,
without glancing at the proffered cord , and
In tones almost of self-arraignment. "Of
course It's all right. Here's the money , "
counting out the notes the check was for
$75 "so sorry to have given you any
trouble. Anything wo can do for ) ou at
any time , remember good morning. "
"Humph ! " said the girl's fathdr when ho
heard the story. "The fellow had no right
to do It. It was a risky business , I don't
care who by the way , was he young ? "
"He ho wasn't very old , " answered the

In several of the uptown avenues , right
In the heart of upper tcndom , sa > s a New
York letter , live the colonies of bachelor
girls of New York. They are women of
refinement and culture , some means and
undoubted business capacity , with ideals be
yond the hall bedroom nnd Its cheerless and
lonesome environments nnd at the same
tlmo they arc women who are alone In this
city and self-supporting. To such women
"how to live" becomes a question of ab
sorbing nnd Irritating moment. Driven by
ono after another of the exigencies of busi
ness llfo here to seek new quarters as the
city moves uptown , they do not know where
to turn until Ihe common law of nccesslly

call themselves by any high sounding name ,
or by any name at all , but they Just get to
gether to form some sort of a co-operative
establishment that will give them a gen

"Oh ! you know , wo can live so much bet

I questioned some of them.
"And sou never quarrel ? " 1 asked.
"Oh ! jou ought to bco how well seven

The upper crust of Washington society Is
just now agitated by n little sensation , re
lates the Chicago Record. It Is a trifling
matter , to bo biire , but It Involves a
mystery and the good nama of one of the
ptomlncnt women In the diplomatic corps.
Last winter several women who gave fine
dinners and luncheons mlffied dollies. Some
of them were of expensive embroidery , oth
ers of rich lace nnd , while they nro little ,
useless ornaments , a set represents n good
d al of money and to lose ono of n set Is to
mnko the others practically useless , ss
everybody knows. It Is common at state
dinners to call In caterers , who provide the
table atendants and many n serious con
sultation took place between fasblonablo
caterers nnd hosnltablo women over the
disappearance of tliee doilies , which , of
course , was charged to the servants. Fin
ally the leading caterer of the capital called
the attention of one of the cabinet ladles tea
a singular coincidence
Dollies had been missed nt every ono of
half n dozen dlnncis and luncheons he had
served where the wife of u certain foreign
minister had been a gueet. None hod ever
disappeared when sbo was not present. It
was a startling suggestion that would not
do to repeat The lady might 'ho ' a Klepto
maniac , but to accuse her of stealing would
causu International complications for which
nobody cared to assume the responsibility
The caterers whose waiters had been accused - !
cused held n conference. They decided
among themselves that the woman referred
to was guilty , but dared not accuse her even
to exculpate themselves ; BO they devised a
novel scheme and when they found her
name on a dinner caul they removed the
valuable dolly from her plato at the table
and substituted ono of those cheap paper
affairs that sou find In the restaurants , The
ruse "was successful. There was no more
complaints.
Three or four months passed by. The in
cident was almost forgotten , when n
matronly woman , evidently of Irish blood ,
who declined to give her name , called nt the
residences of the vice president , several
members of the cabinet and diplomatic
corps and nt private houses where the upper
cult nro frequently enlertalncd and Inquired
If the lady of the house had mlspcd nny of
her dollies last winter ; If so , would she
kindly get the pattern. When n simple was
brought the mysterious vltltor retired Into
a corner with an apology and pretty soon
banded back the sample with the missing
pleco of lace or embroidery. In this way
nearly all of the missing dollies have been
returned without any further explanation ,
although the general understanding Is that
their recovery Is duo to the confessional of
the Catholic church.
