How a Peculiarly Feminine Change

TUB above quotations tiro from
speeches made by Miss Irioa
Milholland in tho days when
sho was more of a suffragist than a
woman In tho days beforo sho met
and married Eugcn Bolssovaln, a
ncinber of a well-known Dutch fanv

tftroke of work In his Hfo, a drono of
the most pronounced type, and who
prides himself on being a "loafer."
"Tho theory that n man should
work Is all very right In America, but
in Holland, whero I have nlwaya
lived, oue can very well bo what iu
America you call n loafer" Thus

Six years ago Miss Milholland, then
a student at Vassar College, began
her career as ft suffragist and public

one who, though beautiful In a
loHrked degree and nisgnetlo in tem
perament, Inspired her hearers with
the thought that ubo would never
marry. Men of brilliancy who met
and talked with her shook their heads
afterward and said: "What a pity
that so beautiful n girl should be so
abnormal! She is all Intellect; there
U no heart there."
How to Give a Successful Garden l?arty-
IN these days, when the love of
gardening It being cultivated
and encouraged everywhere,
what greater pleasure .can thoro
bo than to bid one's friends como
to enjoy a garden, it ono has bq
delightful a possession?
Although the term "garden party"
may seem to mean al
ways a formal function,
given on a large scale,
where invitations are
icnt out some tlmo in
idvance, and where mu
sic, refreshments, and a
Quantity of guests In
elaborate Summer attire
make It a gay and Im
posing scene, it may be,
on the other hand, a very
simple tea out of doors.
After all, the only ab
solute requirements for
e garden party are a
pretty lawn, a few trees,
Hiving a grateful shade,
tome refreshing things
to eat and drink, and
fair sunshiny weather!

But the
weather cannot ba ordered or ar

cloudy or threatening, there Is
nothing to do but to make the best
ot it and havo the tea indoors,
After graduating from Vassar this
young beauty decided to become
lawyor. Harvard refused to make her
a Portia and Oxford and Cambridge
llkcwlso rofused to "unsex" her. It
had been reported that tho President
of ono of these universities told the
would-iba Portia that her place was in
her home, taking caro of babies.
Instead of following tills purely
mascullno ndvlco, Miss Milholland
studied law at Now York University,
made suffrage speeches on tho advan
tages of being a spinster and a voter,
did picket duty during two interest

to "fall in lovo" or who wero "femi
nine enough to marry Bomo man for a

ried Miss Milholland shrugged her
lovoly shoulders aud murmured, "Tho
eternal feminine again."
And yet sho has had many mascu

with each failure tho world has said:
"Thero is nothing of tho woman in
Incs but her beauty; sho Is only an
intellect, and rill never marry."
But the woman was thcro all tho
time. Under tho suffrago enthusiasm,
under tho lawyer, under tho cold so
ciologist tho womnn lurked all tho
time; but none of theso men had
found tho touchstone.
Among tho various men who laid
their hearta and tho fruits or tbctr;
labor at her feet, six stand out In
bold relief lu Lludon Bates, son of a
millionaire, a rising young polltlclau
and author; Lieutenant Tornoy, grad
uato of West Point; Sidney Smith,
onco a man of fashion and sports, but
now a hard worker in Mrs. 0. H. P.
Belmont's suffrago camp (at least bo
was up to tho day Miss Inez an
nounced her marriage): John Fox,
author and playwright; Lord Curzon,
ex-Viceroy of India, and Sheldon
Crosby, at present secretary to the
American Legation nt Slam.
Six valiant men of brain and brawn
refused by this charming youug mili
tant suffragist, whoso slogan might
have been "Votes for Women and
Work for Men," bu who to-day, prov
ing herself a woman after all, has
eelves on tho lawn and .woars a

guests havo grcotod tho hostess
they aro expected to wander through
the grounds and gardens and return
for refreshments when they wish.
Tho host is expeotcd to bo presont
at a largo affair ot tho sort. Ho does
not stand to rccelvo with tbo hostess,
but moves about among guests. An
open-air party usually appeals to a
man. and he does not make e xcuses
to his wife for unavoidable abienoo.
At an out-door entertainment ot
this sort refreshments may bo served
from a table under tho trees or from
a marquee. Somo hostesso prefer
to have them served within doors.
To havo tbo refreshment tables out
of doors makes an agreeable, variety
and Is advisable, provided the
wcathor Is propitious. Great care
should be taken to preserve ordorll
uess if refreshments are served out
of doors. Tho table Is arranged as

at the table and pour teed and hot
tea. A plentiful supply of china,

provided. Servants should have

this, a natlvo of a country which,
although governed by a woman, is
most strongly opposed to suffrage.
It is not necessary to ask un ex
planation from Miss Milholland for
tho Inconsistency of her words and
Iter deeds. Is sho not a woman? Has
hho not done Just what nuy other
woman would have done? Married
the man who found tho touchstone,
and cures not a rap whether ho is u

parties sho would say suddenly: "You
know Mr. Bates? Is ho not splendid?
Ho la a great worker, is ho not?"
And so on ad nauseum. At last she
really bored people by asking them

At tho closo of his first term Mr.
Bates took a long and laborious trip

in words, "Hero is tanglblo proof that
I am a worker, not a shirker."
But no wedding bells rang for him.

Then up sprang Lieutenant Torny.
Fresh from West Point with many
other points In his favor, too ho .
would have gone to the stake for
her but she only sent him to Jail. It
was during tho strlko two years ago
that he served on picket duty with
Miss Milholland and ended In Jail.
"Surely uow Inez will marry hlra,"
said "everybody," but agulu "every
body" was wrong. Lieutenant Torny
disappeared from view, and Inez th
Fair became a working member of
the law firm of Osborne & Co.
"That young woman belies her very
nature: she will never marry," went
up a chorus of masculine voices. It
has seemed so. Law became as much
of a passion with Miss Milholland as
suffrage and worlc She helped de
fend Choy, a Chinese on trial for
murder, and she assisted in tho
famous Bishop divorce case.
But how about tho slxtn lver-
John Fox, Junior? Of his labors
there could be no question. As he
pressed his suit there loomed back ot
him books, books, and still inoro
books, interspersed with Journeys Into
the mountnlns of the South nnd
West "All these I give to you. They
are tho children of my brain, the
fruits of my hands."
"I am a lawyer and a suftraslst, not
a marrying woman," was her reply.
When the Bishop divorce case, with
its unsavory details, was the topic of
the hour, Mlsa Mllholland's spinster
hood was assumed as settled. Her ca
reer was her life, and for the first
time her father and mother felt that
their oldest daughter would never
marry: would nover found a family.
On Juue 12 Miss Inez was dining at
the Holland House with tho Marconls.
At the next table sat a handsomo
young Hollander. He knew the Mar
conls. He was presented to Miss Mil
holland. The deed was done. Sho
was only a woman after all, and what
if she did chance her mind in M-
twinkling of an eye? Any woman
would havo douo the same. Whnt

The incident took place Imme

"There, dear, you can have which

Then he watched to see what little
Dorothy would do.
That yountr person approached the
table and studied the situation for
fully three seconds. Then she sud
