Out in Mount Pleasant, one of the
pri'ttli'Ht HiihiirliH of Wunhtngtoii,
there Ih ii large lirloh house which b1u1
tors a iini(iie community coiihlHtlug of
S!5 women under the government of
Mrs. Mart hit McWhlrter. MoHtof them
have found iiiiirringe it failure it ml have
left worthier or Incompetent him
bitndrt to enjoy life In it sisterhood
where eaeh can do exactly ns she
pleiiHcx, provided she contributes her
share to the genernl purse, and does
nothing to disturb the harmony of the
family. They do not live Uvea of Idle
ness, but each performs a certain
amount of labor under the direction of
Mrs, McWhlrter, who seema to be a
woman of remarkable personality and
executive ability, says the Chicago
Record-Herald.
Some yearn ngo, In a letter from
Texas, 1 told an interesting story of
four women at Helton, a little Texas
town, who, having been deserted by
their husbands and thrown upon their
own resources, established a board
ing house which soon grew into a hotel
nnd hnd thereputntlonof being the best
in the state. Iobody but women were
employed, except one negro man, who
did the heavy lifting and took care
of the horses. This hotel became ko
popular that the proprietors started
several others like It at Waco and in
different parts of Texas, and they
were all successful under the cnpablc
management of Mnrthtt McWhlrter.
They started laundries, also, andjot her
enterprises which brought large
profits, and within n few years cnnbled
Mrs. McWhlrter to retire from active
labor with money enough laid by to
support herself td her companions in
comfort during the rest of their lives.
In looking about the country for n
location which suited her health mid
t8te, Mrs. McWhlrter found the cli
mate nnd conditions nt Washington
agreeable. She bought two large
houses In Mount Pleasant, remodeled
them into a single mansion of 40
rooms and Invited to this shelter n
limited number of distressed sisters
who had found the matrimonial yoke
wearisome and sought peace.
The community has gradually
grown and now constats of 25 women
of 30 years old and upward, who are
living what they consider an Ideal
life. Each one who enters the com
munity surrenders to it all the prop
erty Bhe possesses, and It goes Into
the common fund, which is quite
large. The amount is unknown, and
It Is estimated all the way from $100,
000 to $500,000. They airree also to
.obey the orders of their superior and
suumit to the rules of the organiza
tion, which are few and simple, and
are chiefly for the regulation of la
bor. Mrs. McWhlrter assigns the du
Hch of her subordinates. There Is
only one man about the place, and he
Is nn nged negro, the same who was
Jtnployed by them at tbelr original
venture nt Helton, Tex., 20 yeors ago.
lie does the heavy outdoor work, and
the women are assigned to whatever
they en n Ho best Inside. One of them
Is a physician, who not only looks
after the health of the community,
but nnswers cnlls from the neighbor
hood. Another is a dentist, who bus
a chair nnd a case of instruments In
the reception-room of the house,
which makes unprotected male visit
ors apprehensive. Others are seum
Htresses nnd milliners, although px.
travngance In dress is prohibited, and
one Is n shoemaker, who not only
mends, but makes tho footwear of
ihe household. Mrs. McWhlrter se
lects the cooks and the housemaid
according to their tastes and quall-
iii-niiiiii.1, ami wius rar, she tells me,
there have been no "kickers."
Kvery woman In the community has
cheerfully accepted the situation, and
performed the duties to which she
hns been assigned. Tho labor Is light,
being distributed ninoag so many,
nnd us the underlying principle of
the community is to promote the
pence, comfort and happiness of its
Inmates, tho effort of living has been
reduced to a minimum.
The women have no politics amf rtn
not preteitd to bo reformers. Nor
do they Interfere in any manner with
the outside world. Thov ntr ,..
