History furnishes ns no record of the
requirements In classic times of a host
of professional women doctor" of law
and divinity and medicine students In
art and music. In New York city alone
there are 10.000 prnfcuslonal women
with requirement. In a domestic way.
for which a hundred women's club
heues could pot provide. There are
9 20) women students who nniht have
entirely respectable and comfortable
tcnipornry homes and wholesome food.
It would lie Impossible for a woman to
live at an hotel even If there were no
consideration of expense. Hoarding-
hnueea offer no attractions to the ma-
jority of women
It is this Inrge class of women w hose
domestic wants have never yet been
considered. They can afford to pay
an average of 912 a week for living.
C.lr! students average 110 a week and
live In ball tied rooms In New York. A

with innumerable restrictions.
To afford a home with modern con-
veniences ami many luxuries without
any Idea of charity or dependence and
at n minimum rate cf 10 a week Is
the object of the Woman's L'ulldlng
Slock Company. This company wns or-
ganised Just previous to the Vglnnlng
of the present financial depression
when an option waa taken on four lots
one hundred feet by one hundred and
plans were drawn for a magnificent
elpht-atuiv building to bo erected at a
cos! of $700000. It was deemed Inex-
ped'ent to nc tn at that time even
with the very substantial stockholders
who hnd gone Into tho venture purely
as a business Inves'ment.
Now again however the scheme li
being promoted and to such an excel-
lent advantage that It remains only a
matter of time until there U In New
York city a splendid modern apartment
house for the exclusive use of women.
The building will be ten. Instead of
eight stories high. There will be Turk-
ish and IlUHtilnn baths for the uno of
women only although ll.'.OiO have al-
ready been offered for general bath
privileges by outside Investors.
Table board will he furnished at a

promoter of the scheme. She has foi
three years given to It her time and

counsel and temporary treasurer. In-
numerable women of wealth whose ex-
perience has taught them the require-

women are Interested in the promotion
of the plan which had Its Inception
perhaps. In a plan of Mrs. Candact
Wheeler the artist to provide a similar
lodging place for poor students undei
certain conditions of espionage and
charily. Miss Lewis with perception
of the re'!lrementi of self-respectlns
professional women made fine by expe-
rience converted Mrs. Wheeler and
other women of Influence to her beliefs
and found practical ways at band for
their furtherance. It needs only the un-
derstanding of honest men and women
who ore only looking for a sure and
reasonable return on their Investment
ti make many such bouses practicable
fo.- hotb men and women. Simultan-
eously Indeed with the Woman's
Apartment House. Mr. 8. 11. Mills will
begin a similar experiment on Itleek-

be financial and sociological successes.

From the lluffalo Express: A mild
looking man with gold-bowed specta-
cles got on a car the other morning.
He had a Morning Express In his hand.
He took off his glasses and wiped them
as all spectacled men have to do when
going from a cold to a warmer atmos-
pherr and was Just taking his psper
out to read when a man who was
sitting near him reached over and said:
"L-iid me that newspaper will you?"
The mlld-looklng man appeared sur-
prised. Evidently he did not know the
would-be borrower and wss a little
takeu aback by his nerve. He wsi
equal to the occasion however.
"I was going to read It myself." he
said "but as you seem lo need to read
newspapers more than I do. I'll lend
It to ou."
The borrower took It without even
saying "Thank you." The spectacled
man leaned back with an expression ol
amused disgust.
"Say" he said "would you like t
have that paper sent to you regularly'
If you would. I II atep Into the ofTici
and pay for a year's subscription foi

"Why you are very kind." said th
other. "I usually borrow It but I wouK
not object to hsving It given lo me.'
"I thought not" ssld the spectacled
man. "Py the way. hnve you any tick
ets for the theater tonight?"
"No" was the reply. "I seldom ft

"I wss sure of It. I'll step In an
buy a couple of orchestra teats for yot
If you like."
"Why I'm sure"
"Oh don't mention It. And wbllo '.

"I'm about out"
"Exactly. Your grocery bill Is un

settle It for you tonight."
"I really don't understand sir"
"No of course you don't. lint won't
you accompany me to the tailor's ani
let me buy you a new suit of clothes?"
Hy this time the sponger begin to se
tho drift of the conversation.
"You're trying to guy mo" he said
with a feeble attempt at a smile.
"Not at all." said the spectacled man
"I belong to a philanthropic society auf

"What Is Its leading principle?"
"That dead beats should In all case

I the community valued at more than
$500000. woud revert to the state of

! such Is not the case. The Seventh Day
Imposts to whom the community at
Snow Hill belongs are particularly
trong In northern Kentucky aouthern
Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania.
Quite a number of members belond lo
' the society at Bnow Hill and a move-
ment has begun looking toward a re-
organisation of the monastery a branch
of the once famous monastery at Eph-
rata. Pa. The Idea Is to draw rm-rults
j from all the existing societies by meana
of religious revivals to tie begun
shortly. The original community was
organised In 1795. Catherine .Snow-
! berger bought the tract of land In 1773
1 It had then a farmhouse and contained
130 acres. The whole vslley was In-
habited by Ilaptlsts. most of them of the
Seventh Day branch ta which sect
Catharine belonged. Thirty-two years
later 1'eter Ishmsn. a German Baptist
preacher came to the southern part of
Franklin county held a revival meet-
ing and started the Idea which had
' been ao auccessful at Ephrata Two
1 years later four women all Snowberg-
era. took tho vows and when others
Joined from time to time the society
became flourishing. I'ntll 1SI5 the
property was owned by Catharine
j Snowbergers heirs. In that year It
was sold to five truatees by Andrew
Snow berger Catharine's nephew an I
the state chartered "The Seventh Day
Baptists' Monastics! Society of Snow
Hill" which then begun a vigorous
life. Poth sexes were admitted and the
farmhouse being fouud Insufficient for
the growing numbers the original
building wss from time to time en-
larged. Then as new Industries were
begun shops were erected sll over the
' place. For many years the average
number of persons living at the nun
nery nny ine men seldom exceed-
ing the wesker sex In number. Any
Seven Day Baptist In good stam'lng wis
eligible provided he or she was willing
to conic out from the world and be sen-
arale; to give up all wordly goods tn
the society and to live a life of celib-
acy. The vows were not necessarily
for life but -very few of those who en-
tered ever returned to the world. No
one having a husband ot wife living
was admitted but widows and widow-
ers might become members. All new-
comers were obliged lo serve a novitiate
. of one year after which. If satisfactory.
they were admitted to full membership
' tnd received a new name Those who.
at the close of their probationary perl-
I ad or even having been for years mctn-
I bers ot the community desired to

I free to leave and carry with them
everything they had brought In. but
nothing they had acquired while mem-
bers of the order. The sisters occupied
themselves with spinning rooking
weaving dairy work and the gathering
of herbs for their own use. while the
brothers attended to stock raising.

sske It waa the custom to change off.
That Is. the sisters who cooked one

and pay for a year's subscription for
you."
"Why. you are very kind." said the
other. "I usually borrow It. but I would
not object to having It given to me."
"I thought not." said tho spectacled
man. "Ily the way. have yon any tickets
for the theater tonight?"
"No." was the reply. "I seldom go
to theaters."
"I waa sure of It. Ml step In and
buy a couple of orchestra seals for you
If you like."
"Why. f'm sure "
"Oh don't mention It. And while
I think of It can't I order a couple of
tone of coal for you?"
"I'm about out "
"Exactly. Your greeery bill la un-
paid too Uu't It? I'll go around and
settle It for you tonight."
"I really don't understand sir- "
"No of course you don't. Hut won't
you accompany me to the tnllor's snd
let me buy you a new suit of clothes?"
Hy this time the sponger began to
see tho drift of the conversation.
"You're trying to guy me." he said
with a feeble attempt ut a smile.
"Not at all" said the spectacled man.
"I belong to a philanthropic society
snd am trying to live up to Its lending
principle."
"What Is Its leading principle?''
"That diwd beats should In all eases
lie gl.cn enough rope to hang them-
selves. If possible. I'm beginning to
doubt thnne.h whether It's porAlhlc In
your case."
The sMinge threw down the paper
nnd retired to the cold corner of the
cur nearest the door - Buffalo Express.

Here Is a yarn that MaJ. Keifer of SU
II.Jndiilsed In the other day:
"1 had a friend named Rudolph" said
the major. "He was as clever a fellow
ns ever lived but he was too fund of
the flowing bowl which nude him do
many Indiscreet Cilngs and under-
mine his usefulness as a good ritlten.
I used to expostulate with Hudolph.
Ah. me. nobody knows the Impressive
language I poured Into Kudolph's esrs
but It passed In at one ear and not
meeting with any serious t hitruclo!
it passed out of the other.
"Yet one day I had hopes. Ivcar me
I thought I hail made an Impression on
Rudolph's flighty heart and converted
him from a too partlnl regard for the
nectar ta a sober contemplation of his
utter ttseli-ssnp'.s. Yes he promised
lo make a new man of himself and
tease from troubling the tap room with
his presence.
"I wns still glowing with a rejoice-
fill spirit of thanksgiving for Ku-
dolph's r formation wiien. chancing to
tnier this .iiuie tap room there 1 be-
held Itoriolph goiglng his sack with as
mm h gusto us of old tho same unre-
geiieraie convivial Baeehus-pleilgcd
topir that 1 used to know before my
lecture. I was sad. I was disappointed
and soini thing of the spirit of iny dla-r-ppolLtiiieiit
was reflected In my voice
as I siil. I to him
" 'Uinl'il; :. I thought you told Di'
you bsd become a new man.'
" 'So I did.' said Ihe wild willful tin
regenerate Rudolph. Vo 1 did major;
I reformeC and made a new man of my-
self. But' aiid here he winked al me
with an eye full of levity 'the new man
Is Jut.t aa much of a drunkard aa ths
old one.' "- Waahlngtou Post.
