VISITED HOMES OF GREAT
Polite Request Gave Her Entree to
Houses of England's Nobility
Her Novel Ideas of Decorating
Residences and Shops.
By OSBORN MAR8HALL.
(Copyright, 1315, by tho McCluro Nowspa
pnper Syndlcato.)
When Amy Ferris won. to Europe 10
study Interior decoration she wanted
to soo tho real thing. Sho was tired
of studying books and looking at pho
tographs and diagrams of tho lnstdea
of houses. Sho wanted to boo with her
own eyes tho rich and costly interiors
of tho famous mansions and historic
castles of tho old country. Sho want
ed to know how tho dukos and carls
and lords who owned theso placos ac
tually lived lu them. So sho decided
to visit thein. (
"But how can you?" her frleiuls
asked when sho told them her Inten
tion. "You don't know a slnglo titled
porson In Europe nnu you navo no
millionaire friends lu America to In
troduce you to them."
"I am going to uBk permission," sho
eald, and that Is Just what sho did.
When sho urrlvcd in London sho
looked in tho various bluo books and
red books that tell all about tho no
bility and their estates and found out
what castles and mansions sho wanted
to inspect. Her list Included ovcry
Important earl and duko and lord of
tho realm. Thon sho sat down and
wroto a pollto lotter to each ot theso
distinguished men and told him that

watted.
She posted tho letters and
With ono single exception she re
ceived enthusiastic letters in reply,
bidding her como and lnspoct tho
houses to her heart's desire. Tho
young American girl started out at
onco alone and unlntroduced to see tho
dukes nud earls and lords of England.
In many cases theso Important peo
ple received her as a guest and en
tertained her cordially. In other cases
they Instructed their Bervants butlera
and housekeepers to rccelvo her and
give her carte blancho to thoir houses.
At Worsley Hall.
Ono of tho great houses Miss Ferris
wanted most to seo was old Worsley
hall, near Manchester.' It bclongod to
tho earl of Ellesmero, who had as
part of his household decorations tho
matchless art treasures collected by
tho duko of Brldgewater. Tho carl an
swered her request promptly and on
her arrival instructed his head butler
to treat her with every consideration.
Tho butler showed her solemnly
through tho house from ono spacious
hall to another, tolling her tho story
of every tapestry and painting better
than tho earl could have dono himself.
Finally he showed her Into tho count
ess or Ellesmere'a boudoir.
"Will you pleaHo to remain hero aB
long us you wish, ma'am4," ho said.
"Thoro mny bo several things that will
Interest you. When you aro through
inspecting them if you will pleaso
press tho push button I will roturn.
You will perhaps feel freer to look
about If you aro alono."
Tho butler withdrew and tho young
American girl found herself sitting
alono and bewildered In tho countess
of Ellesmero's richly upholstered arm
chair. Before her wondering eyes
thoro hung a priceless Raphael, near
It a Vandyke, a portrait of ono of tho
earl's ancestors, and thero a Lawrence.
Thero wero raro prlntB and ancient
tapestries also hanging on tho wall,
and tho furniture Elizabethan chairs
and Jacobean tables that would havo
mado an American collector stagger.
And here sho was, with permission
to study It nud enjoy It to her heart's
content Just becauso sho had asked.
This experienco taught Miss Ferris
something that It often takes business
women u long tlmo to learn. It taught
her that thoro Is a great deal of help
and assistance to ho had lu climbing ,
tho ladder to success Just for tho usk
lug. Her tour of tho great houses of
England also taught her another thing.
That was that In splto of tho wealth
and history that these houses showed,
thoro was still a great deal about
tho furnishings that needed tho work
of an interior decorator. In many of
tho old mansions that wero formerly
furnlHhed lu tho stately simplicity of
tho Elizabethan or Jacobean era sho
saw rooms done over In tho stuffy
atrocities of tho Victorian era dust
collecting lambrequins, ottomans,
painted-velvet fire screens, whatnots,
and a variety of gow-gaws that any
up-to-dnto American housuwlfo would
have relegated to tho attic years ago.
When Miss Ferris had inailo her tour
of England sho wont to Vienna, whero
that art of Interior decorating has ro
cclvcd inoro attention of lato years
than It has In England. And hero
again sho succeeded by tho saine Him
plo method In gaining an entree to
the best furnished houses of that cap
ital. With this Inspiration and expe
rience sho camo back to America
ready to take up her profession ot In
terior decorator.
Took Up New Work.
Miss Forrls Is a graduate or Smith
college, and when sho was graduated
sho entered St. Lukb's hospital in Now
York to become a trained nurse. When
after a few months' work sho faced
tho realization that sho was not lltted
to stand tho strain and fatigues of this
calling, her llrst feeling was ono of
keen disappointment, Many young
women would have given up the hope
of malting a career fur themselvus af
ter this setback, hut not so Miss Fcr
rlB. Sho went to work dollheralely to
discover another profession. Sho had
alwayti been fond of art and decora
tion. In her work lu tho hospital
wards tho things that struck her most
and palled upon her wero tho baro
ness and necessary austerity of tho
surroundings. Her eyea longed for
beauty, for color, harmony lu shape
and tone. Sho thought first or tnklng
up portraiture but, realizing that sho
was not skillful enough with tho brush
for this, sho decided to bo an Interior
decorator. So scarcely had sho
abandoned the nurso's uniform boforo
she had enrolled as a student in ono
of tho largo schools of applied art in
New York not many blocks, away
from tho hospital whero her first am
bition had spent Us brief Ufa.
Started on Borrowed Money.
It was after sho had ilntshod a
Bhort course In tho art school that sho
went to Europe On her return sho
went to work In tho shop of an Interior
docorator, whero sho remained three
weeks. At tho end of that tlmo sho
decided to start lu by herself.
Hor friends tried to dlscourago her.
It wus perfectly Impossible, they told
hor, for an interior decorator to start
lu alono in New York without ull kinds
of capital and all kinds of backing.
Sho would havo, to furnish hor ollicc,
to buy equipment stationery, sowing
machines and all tho other parapherna
lia of hor trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident of hor own ability and her
own Judgment. Sho borrowed flvo
hundred dollars, took a tiny ofllco In a
first-class ofllco building In tho Now
York shopping center and waited to
mako good, in tho meantime sho told
overyono sho knew about her plans,
and kept up with tho alumnao activi
ties of her alma mater.
Ono of tho first ordors that camo to
her was to decoruto tho homo of Miss
Woolloy, the president of Mount Hoi
yoko college Not long afterward tho
Collegiate Equal Suffrage leaguo
opened a llttlo shop In tho shopping
center of Now York and Miss Forrls,
who Is an enthusiastic suffragist her
self, offered to decorate tho placo free
provided tho suffrago leuguo would
consult hor on all decorating schemes.
The leaguo had taken a hopeless llttlo
basement storo. It was dark and
stuffy, but with thoughtful arrange
ment of yellow and brown and careful
ly arranged lights the little shop was
thoroughly transformed.
Soon Became Known.
Thero are many suffragists' ot wealth
and lntluenco in Now York and when
they camo to tho suffrago shop to buy
tho latest book on tho feminist move
ment, suffrago noto paper, banners and
badges and other pnruphornalla, they
wero struck by tho pleasing effect ot
tho shop. Later when they thought
of having thoir town or country homes
furnished or refurnished, they would
Bond for Amy Ferris. So tho now dec-
orator hecnino known.
Not long after this a parish house
was under construction lu Hartford,
Conn., and when tho authorities cum a
to buy tho furnishings It occurred to
ono who had seen nomo or Amy For
rls work that Bho was Just tho person
whoso advlco they needed.
So Miss Forrls was sent for, and sho
wont to work to plan out a schomo
As usual, sho drow up n very speclllq

suggested that tho building was ltii

Surprised the Church Folk.
As sho showed her plans, somo of,
tho authorities looked aghast. They,
hud associated a parlBh house with,
something dark and funereal. They
never thought of having missionary
meeting and choir rehearsals and Sun
day school and prayer meotlngs lu
such u comfortable-looking place. "But
why not?" Miss ForrU asked, and shot
hud her wny. Another thing that sur
prised somo of tho good parishioners
ubout tho now pnrlBli house was tho
basomont, whero tho men of tho church
hail their meetings. This was actually
called a rathskeller and Miss Ferris,
had furnished It lu modern Vleuneso
stylo for ull tho world like ono of tho
Austrian cafeH bIiu had seen. "Why
not?" said Miss Ferris again when tho
people looked surprised. "It Is a good
honest stylo of decoration. Men like
it and men aro to uso tho room." And
bo tho plan wont through.
Since that tlmo Miss Ferris has be
come a leading Intorlor decorator, with
a sulto ot bIx rooms, including a shop
whoro sho has on sale all manner ot
furniture and lamps, draperies and
other wares used In Interior decor
atlug. Sho decorates not only parish
houses, but churches, ofllco buildings,
club rooms, stores, town houses, and
country cottages and villus. Ono ot
her most recent achievements was In
decorating tho homo for tho women
workers of tho Now York city mis

Another striking instance of tho
vnluo ot oil as a llfo saver at sea was
recalled when tho British govomment,

tho steamship Lackawanna, and for

of a ilro, says tho Pall Mall Gazette.
Tho steamship Narragansett first

tho sccno tho former vessol pumpod a
largo quantity of oil on to tho tromen

Various other presentations havo

24,000,000 Home-Makers.
According to a bulletin by Mrs. Iris
Prouty O'Lcnry on "Cooking aB a
Training for Homo-Making Vocatlonnl
Schools," issued by tho United States
bureau of education, homo-making out
ranks all other trades in tho number ol
persons employed, according to the
bulletin. Of tho 31,000,000 females
over ten years of ago In tho United
States, 24,000,000 aro engaged In homo
making. Mrs. O'Leary says: "Whllo
girls may enter other trades, tho great
majority of women becomo at ono tlmo
or other liomc-makorB. Wage-earning
for them 1b but a temporary uffalr
which they will leavo for a pormanont

Tho bulletin lays emphasis on tho
fact that cooking Is a scientific process
and should bo taught aB such, especial

established.

rtli a nation: but uln la a reproach to any
people. l'rov. 14:31.
According to Professor Bocchor the
extent of tho period we havo been
studying during tho last quarter li
332 years, from tho death of Joshua
B. C. 1434 to tho reign of Saul, which
bognn B. C. 1102. Though other
chronologlstB mny differ slightly, this
Is approximately correct.
Wo may roughly dlvldo this period
into tho republic of Qod and tho king
dom of mnn. In tho first section we
studied tho period of tho Judgos,
Barak, Gideon, Samson and Snmuol;
ono prophetess, Deborah; nlso tho
priest Ell and his sons; Samuel and
Ahlnh; and Huth, who was an nncos
trcss of our great high priest. In
tho second section wo considered Saul
tho king, nud a princo,' Jonathan,
Haul's Bon. Whllo tho lessons may
thus bo roughly divided, yet wo fcol
Hint a general revlow of tho charac
ters and tho principal lesson to bu
learned from each will porhnps bo tho
most prolltublo form of rovlow.
Thero tiro four things to bo natd
about each character and his rotation
to tho events occurring In Israel: (1)
Tho peoplo had departed from God;
thero was dlsobcdlenco and a reli
gious decline (2) God pormlttcd on
tho part of Israel's onemlcB oppression
that Anally becamo unbearable. (3)
Thero was repentance on tho part of
tho peoplo and an appeal to God for
holp. (4) God raised up a Judgo who
"saved" tho pcoplo and through this
Judgo wonderful acts woro porformod
showing Ills power and tho favor
which rested upon iBrnol. Tho adult
classes can profitably discuss such
questions as, "Why did tho peoplo so
easily forsako God?" "Why and bow
did their ropentanco bo quickly load
to their dellvoranco?" "How did God
help tho peoplo to return unto htm?"
"What woro tho mothods and the prin
ciples used in God's punishment of tho
people's sins?" "Was this form ot
government In voguo a falluro r"
Coming to tho second soctlon, many
questions suggest themselves: "What
advantages and opportunities did Saul,
tho first' king, havo?" "How did his
falluro begin?" "What was tho es
sential dlffcrcnco botweon tho king
dom of Saul and tho Ropubllo ot God
undor tho JudgoB?" "What nro the
outstanding characteristics of Jona
than's llfo and character?" "What
great mcBsago for today do thoso
characters and theso two forms ot
govomment havo?" Doctor Torroy
suggests a prolltablo form of rovlow,
viz., a doctrinal rovlow: ' (1) The
teachings ot tho lessons ot tho past
quarter ubout Jehovah and tho Holy
Spirit; (2) Tho proviow, types and
manifestations of tho Lord Jesus;
(3) Tho teaching about sin and the
particular Bins mentioned; and (4)
Tho teachings about tho word of God.
Of courBo to do all this, or to follow
any part of theso suggestions wUl de
mand that much work shall bo as
signed In advanco and that groat care
shall bo exercised to make any one
of theso lines a connected and Inter
esting whole Abovo all, bownro ot
attempting too much lest tho schol
ars becomo confused.
If somcono can bo secured who la
moderately successful in using tho
blackboard an interesting revlow can
bo presented to younger scholars by
making a drawing presenting a "hall
of fame,'' with panels for Deborah,
Gideon, Ruth, Samuel and Jonathan.
Another drawing may, by comparison,
bo termed tho "rogues' gallery," and
may havo in It panels for Samson, Ell,
Ell's sonB, and Saul. Then toll, as
I simply as possible, tho salient points

following:
Tho lessons, chief persons, chlof

1. Joshua, Iraolltes, Judges; a great
patience 2. Deborah, Barak, Slsora;

5. Manoah, Samson; a great falluro.

Ell; a great capture 9. Samuel; a
great victory. 10. Samuel, Saul; a
great honor. 11. Nahash, Saul; a
great rescue 12. Jonathan, Armor
bearer; a great hero.
If written work is oskod for be care
ful not to assign too much and, aa far
as possible assign different tasks to
Individuals ot a given class.
It would bo an Inspiration to have
a number of girls ot tho early teen
ago each to read a brief essay on one
ot tho femalo characters ot the past
quarter's lessons, also to havo a num
ber of boys selected to do tho samo
for each ot tho important male char
acters wo havo studied.
There Is no lack ot subject matter
'or this Is a period in tho history ot
Israel that teems with llfo find actlv-ity.
