three young women of Lincoln met to
lay the foundations for it, or rather
to draw the plans of it. After reject

that a pie stand should be the pedestal
on which they would mount to opu

it meant delicious sandwiches of many
kinds, pies, eggs, cold chicken and hot
tea and coffee.

Ther are a few occupations Ir-re-proachable
for women. Teaching is
the choicest of these. Teaching is well
enough if the woman have tact, abil

disposition that is worth millions If
the same tests are used that lapidaries

New York society begins more and

these latter days permit its members

not been possible In London until very

ever, that this last hobby Is an im

the way, to a great extent, for those
