It Is expected that largo delegations; will be In attendance from various parts of tho state, but the Omaha representa tion will be comparatively light, owing; to tho fact that railroad connections are against a convonlent Journey to and from York. When the Odd Fallows' home shall have been completed -there will be none better of Its kind In tho trnlted States, for It Is ample aa to rapacity and la to be con structed of absolutely fireproof material. The destruction of Odd Follow homes In Texas, Missouri and Iowa within the last few years has made due impression upon the Nebraska builders, and they propose to forestall danger of fire by using only the best of everything that enters Into fire proof construction.

W. P. Harford: "I wish I could command words ade quate to express the appreciation of our association of Mrs. Emma F. Dyers and ! her work for us In the nine years of 1 service as our general secretary. With tho culture of a Christian home and of the bchools, her experience In city and state ussociutlon work, and as a pastor's wife, i her sympathy with girls, "her tact In man- nrnmetit of her associates, and her excep- ' tional executive ability, have been strong factors In the development of our assocla ; tlon from a. few hundred members to the present splendid standing. Jler versatile gifts hwve won to tho association hundreds . of young women from all walks of life,' as well as the confidence. Interest and sup , port 6f hundreds of our best citizens. Her , deeply religious life, free from cant and ! sectarianism, has been stamped upon every : department of work." ; iler other coworkers, the secretaries,' also . expressed their appreciation In no uncer ' tain terms.

UPLIFT OF THE AMERICAN GIRL How She Lives, Moves and Looks, as Viewed by an Admiring - Foreigner. , ' The American, girl Is In revolution. Gho means to be quite good-humored about it, everT'ga.v, and certainly will not permit any blundering such as the men. have made in their bloodthirsty revolutions, writes J. B. Yeats, the Irish dramatist, In '..Harper's Weekly. Hitherto she has steered her, course by studying the men's faces, as mariner used to watch the pilot stars. Sh got her will by pleasing the men enjoying the sweets of power, w hile all the time pretending on'.y to enjoy the sweets of submission. She how means to please herself and to bo riuite frank about It. She is face, to face with herself quite another kind of contest. Just consider it the woman interested in herself; surely it Is a new thought. She is :'"oIf in hels,t cording to vthe dictates of her own heart, and not according to the n ill and the opinion and caprices of tho man. She means to bo-woman-made, and not man-made. She will still advise him and befriend him, for. she knows that' without i'.er assistance her old partner and friend Would quickly cono to grief. But she will no longer humor him. Man has lost his age-long flatterer , nd begullcr, who by her enoharments robbed difficulty of- its atuiterlty. Meantime there "Is ;on good result already apparent the ' women here In . America are .continually drawing toward one another. In a closer alliance, and friendship. While they were parasites llvinp j " " ,, , " "'"" iono another as only parasites can. . . . . . ... U ! wonderful and beautiful, and the non are full of anxiety. They dare not attack, and they do not know how to do fend themselves; they only hope that 'thf, women may relent and things be . as they wore. . The ancient European Idea of charming woman Is of a radiant creature In front of a large mirror, finding In her 'Image a picture which the artist must continually touch and retouch with an exacting criti cism which is never tired and never satis fied. This reenied her chief Industry, and It was her best, for a woman cannot Im prove her dress without Improving herself. In the American woman there Is little trace of this business of the larger mirror. She dresses In the established mode and does it efficiently and expensively ; but It U all according to order, a regulation pat tern. There Is no spirit of rturarch, no seeking for the Indefinable something. She upends little time before her gluss. She Is lacking in the self-love that springs up o easily In the soft and suppliant souls of her Europe!, sisters or rather, perhaps, the self-love !i there, but has changed Its object; It It. no longer the outer silf. which Is the property of any one who looks at It. but the Inner self, which Is her own prop erty ai'd not to be shared; her Incom municable secret.

The west end of the basement such part as is not occupied by the dining room Is. an amusement room. Just what use will be made of this, that Is, to what kind of amusement It will be devoted, has not yet been determined. The first floor above the basement la devoted to the office, sitting room and bed rooms, baths and toilets be ing liberally provided. The second floor Is set apart for sleeping rooms, and there is" also a large lobby and sitting room, and the third floor is exclusively for sleeping purposes. The general plan of the building permits the building of annexes whenever addi tional rom may be needed, and taken In the aggregate, It seems that nothing has been left undone that will make for a home of which all Nebraska may well feel proud. find myself among American women I talk of friendship,' of love,' or of , affection or marriage. At once they are attentive, and It Is most touching to watch their eyea. so serious and so candid, with the new-found desire of truth.. English women will some times discuss these questions, but their Interest is academio and languid. These others talk as If they felt a responsibility for every word. The beautiful woman In terested in an Intellectual question and realizing that it touches her interest is surely a novel sight when, as In this case, she plays the game, keeping to the rules of logic. A disputatious woman of the sort wo are accustomed' to call a blue-stocking a clever woman with a brain like an in sect's, incessantly active and also lnces santly futile Is a bore and a tease; a rest-killer, a sleep-killer, raw as a school boy, yet a grown woman. But a beautiful woman on the threshold of life, or In the midst of it, discussing questions of conduct and feeling, under such pressure of sin- cerety that she speaks every moment with the totality of her being, Is to my mind something novel. She Is a new woman, she Is the new woman. Let us prepare her welcome.' So far her kind are but few in number; presently they will come In battalions. Woman has often dragged down man; these will uplift the .World, and they are American born. CHARACTER AIDS TO BEAUTY Oood Features Sot the Onlr Kasential to l'retty ilrl, Sara an ArtUt. ; t C. Allan Gilbert; known -'aacthe "pretty girl artist," has been . caught with the goods on, so to speak. From the easel be fore him smiles a half-complete specimen of the familiar type, scarcely two hours old, while across the way, slacked against the wall, a pensive sister gazes forth. On the walls, on tables, from within the covers of closed portfolios almost scores of Gilbert beauties bear mute wttnosa against him. The artist pleads guilty. "The people want them," he explains In the New York Sun, and then quickly and gallantly, "not that I don't like to make them; but the fact Is that the people seem crazy over pretty girl pictures, "They want them In magazines, on the covers of magazines, In books, on calen dars, on posters. It's even hard for the artist to work a man In. The publishers keep telling how many more copies they sejl of a magazine number with a pretty girl cover than-of an equally good num ber with a cover of another sort, and clever, too. "It seems, as If people would get tired and want' something else, the demand has worn so many .years; but they still want pictures of girls, pretty girls of every con ceivable variety; girls in evening dress, girls in canoes and girls with tennis rac quets, girls standing up and girls sitting down, In automobiles, in sailboats, and 'on horseback; brunette, blonde, or neither, the only requirement being that they be pretty. ' ' ' ' Therein lies the greatest drawback," continues the artist. "As a rule. 'people want tho faces to bo too pretty, 'just that utter regularity iof featuro and form,- you know. 1 used to like a placid face of that sort myself, but, I've outgrown ' all; that," ho confesses. "What In your mind constitutes vteaui.y in a woman?'.' '.'Good features In the first place, , nat urally," he answers, "and good lines and good coloring, but there's got, to bo some thing else, too; character, 1 suppose you'd call It. It . is variations In this that make types as well as variations In the physical characteristics. The trouble With people generally ' Is that they are satisfied with perfection ' on the4 physical counts to the exclusion of all else." "How did you happen to realize the ad vantage of drawing these' . pictures of pretty women fV "I'd been making Illustrations forJ'Mes and X sent in a bunch of girl heads of all kinds. I hadn't thought of using them all together, but the editors did and fixed up some v verses about 'Which would you choose?' and published them that way; that made a hit, and I've gone right on dawing pretty women. "I regard -it as a means to- an eu-J, though. Not that I haven't enjoyed tiiis work and still enjoy It," he; hastens to add. 'gallant again, but every artist haz ambitions Just as every actor, down in Ills' heart, has aspirations to play Han-uct. There Is pecuniary advantage In pleasing people, and I'm pleased if I satisfy puo ple; but I'm hoping next year to beijln carrying out some Ideas I have for mural decorations." Another Wuy. It was night. Wild cries of "Fire! Fire!" afrighted the peaceful mUKhhorhood. A blaze had broken out In a barn. "There's a horse in there!" yelled some body. "Vou go and turn in an alarm," said a stranger, who seemed to huvo dlscqvered the fire.-"I'll taka the horse out." , The stranger rushed Into the bam. whip ped off his coat, threw it over thu animal hiad. and led It out Into (Iih alley. 1'iesently the lire department appcni-,v. put out the flumes, and tho obliging stranger led the horse back to Its Mall. l.ut It was discovered subsequently that it was a different horse.

George W. Hturges, wholesale dealer In meats, who resides at 236 West Seventy second street, Now York City. Miss Fallon wll! toko the advice of her physician and spend a year in the country. Two other servants in Mr. Sturges' house hold have almost rounded out twenty-flvo yearsi of service each, and, upon their re tirement, they , will be rewarded in a simi lar' manner.. Several months ago another servant, who had been la the employ of the .family for many 'years, received a large check as an evidence of appreciation of her services. She returned to her old home In Ireland. t In the opinion of Mr. Sturges, . there Is no servant problem. He said he never had any difficulty In keeping housemaids or cooks In his employment. ' vurt. fcturges and I make :t a rule," he said, "to treat our employes, as human beings, and I never, hava known one of them to exprees a desire to leave us to uc cept employment In any other home." Murv Fallon was employed by Mrs. Sturges as a housemaid .In 1888. and has remained, continuously in her, employment. Fur several .months she has been In il; health, and a physician udvlsed her to take a long. rest. - . "Mary, of course, can return to our home whenever she deeires," Mr. Sturges said. "If she Is unable to'work at the expiration of her year's vacation, we will provide fgr her for the remainder of her days.
