Its beauties appeal especially to the American woman and she does not so much feel herself an exile as an American sojourning In a pleasant country. This, at least. Is an Impression which is given by a chat with Mrs. Paul Hudson, whose-present visit in Omaha Is arousing so much festivity. Mrs. Hudson formerly lived In Omaha, she haa many friends here, and she slates emphatically that she enjoys coming to Omaha. There could, therefore, have been not even an Implied comparison when she said. "The American woman does find the City of Mexico a delightful city in which to live. It Is a beautifully clean city. I think. Indeed. It would be difficult to find many cities In this country as well kept as It Is. it otters, also, exceptional advantages to those who value art and music. In the matter of music the city Is especially fav ored. There are In the army a great many splendid bands. The finest of these is pos sibly finer than any band we have In this country and all of them are exceptionally good." Mrs. Hudson did not put the emphasis upon the music, but It was part of the picture she gave of the colorful and pictur esque life of the Mexican capital. "You often hear people say that they want to visit Mexico before the country changes, grows American. Their fear Is hot warranted by circumstances. The life of the Mexican people Is still most Aim. Florentine 1 tinctlve. It la true that there are now 4.000 Americans In the City of Mexico. And as the labor conditions In the country are not such as to attract the labor ing class, these arc . all . people of education; for the most part people of the professional class. We .have .quite a colony. Our life Is quite apart from the life of the . old Mexican families. When occasions arise they meet us courteously, but they remain Mexicans; they observe their old Spanish customs, the Spanish etiquette, and we remain Americans. They look upon us. too, as a commercial people Interested chiefly In getting money. In deed, the traveler will find the old pictur esque customs maintained In the city. They have their ways; we have ours. Theirs are the ways of the Latin people; ours of the Anglo-Saxon. They are different ways and always will be different." Mrs. Hudson spoke of the American's tendency to emphasise the faults of his country and his country's officials, because he gives such publicity to the shortcomings. "This Isn't a good thing to do. It lessens the respect of other countries for us." As her husband s editor of the Mexican Herald, Mrs. Hudson knew the newspaper reason for the prominence of the short coming. "Oh, yes, of course. It Is because the HI Is the exception and therefore 'news' that we give such prominence to It. But the other countries don't consider that fact. They get their Impression from our news as a sample of the entire condition." Much interest has been manifested in society circles over the announcement re cently of the engagement of Miss May Bourne, eldest daughter of ex-Commodore Frederick G. Bourne, of the New York Yacht club, to Ralph Peaver Strasshurger ol Norrlstown. Pa. Mr. Strasshurger Is a graduate of the Naval academy at Arm- apolls. He belongs to the Army and Navy club, and to the New York Yacht clifo. Miss May Bourne, though the eldest, has been the least conspicuous of Commodore Bourne's three daughters. The Misses Mar Ian C. and Marjorle Bourne are well known for their love of outdoor sports. They are enthusiastic automoblllsts, experts with the shotgun and lovers of pet dogs. Mr. Robert 8. Ixjvett, president of the Harrhnan railroads, has returned from Aiken. 8. C. where his family la spending the mid-winter season. Among the leading events in New York society during the week where the dinner given by Mrs. Htuyvesent Fish Frldan and a dame given by Mrs. Geraldyn Redmond at the Colonial club on Tuesday. The dinner was the third of a series given by Mrs. Fish and she had as guests quite a number of leaders of the "400." The dance given by Mrs. Redmond was In honor of Miss F.lizaheth Russell, a debutante of the season, daughter of Mrs. Rowland Russell. Society Is much Interested In the an nouncement from the west of the engage ment of Mrs. William Loyall Ashe and Walter 8. Seymour. Mrs. Ashe Is a half- sister of Anna Peters and before her mar riage was Miss "Pet" Peters of Stockton. Their father was J. D. Peters, who was known as the "River King," for he owned most of the uteamers plying on the river route from San Francisco. Walter H.

Colonel John Jacob Astor will give j a dinner dance on February 8, at the Astor mansion, and for the cotillon to follow some extra guests will come from other The fair maids at Wellesley are Indig nant at the statement made in one of the current magazines that the college girl can't cook, makes an impractical and dis contented wife and Is In class B with the brought-up-at-home, uncolleglate girl. Miss Katherlne Tarsons, Wellesley's lead ing athlete and scholar, speaking for the Wellesley students, said: "The Impression seems to be that the college girl Is destined ultimately and by her own volition to become an old maid. It Is laughable. A fact that may help cor rect that Impression may be gleaned from college statistics, which prove that seven eighths of all college girls marry. "However, perhaps that has little to do with the assertion that the college girl makes a poor and Inadequate wife. Here at Wellesley the great majority of glris can cook, sew. darn stockings, perform (if called on to do so) all the little domestic services which mean so much to happiness. Indeed, from the very nature of higher training, the development of the analytical powers, tact and character. It Is reasonable to Infer that the (Vllege girl Is the best fitted of any class of women to make an Ideal housewife. "College life and rollcge training tend to make the girl well balanced, controlled and patient. In college the girl learns the lesson of respect for the rights of others. College teaches the relative value of clothes that Is, It displaces fine clothes In the feminine mind portent asset In life. "Money also gets a setback. Happiness. true happiness. Is given Its high place, and j the college girl Is Its highest exponent. i "At heme the college girl. If the home j demands It. Is fittest In spirit and practice J to take hold and help In times of stress. She Is more than a mere evanescent being i fed en sweets and fripperies, far more. , This latter idea of the college girl Is too silly to deserve consideration. "If a girl at Wellesley has a tear In j her gown, she mends It. i "The majority darn their own stockings; I many of the girls make their own clothes. ! We take care of our rooms, and there are I two houses In which students do most of j the work. They cook and perform all but the heaviest duties. This sort of training j teaches the college glii to be economical; i It teachen her food values, and In the end ! makes her twice as able to manage j house. . "The wife who has received a college education can do her work with greater j skill and In less time, for she has learned j the alue of system. i "Regardless of the career and regardless of social standing, the girl possessing a college degree Is twice as able and twice as beneficial to herself and those around her."

The Baker Electric Excels In a recent road test of Edison batteries in several standard cars, re cently made by Mr. Edison in the neighborhood of his home at Orange, N. J., the Baker's mileage record exceeded the next best by seventy miles. The routes were purposely run over rough roads and hilly country, In order to afford a very severe test, and still the Baker made 180 miles on a single charge.
