The outcome of that meeting was the formation of New England Press Association. Today the association numbers upward of one hundred and Maty members.

In it New England, in Its length and breadth, flnds repreeentatlon, from Its remote mountain villages to the heart of Its great cities. Its members represent every branch of newspaper work, from the woman who is editor and proprietor of a 'flourishing suburban weekly, to the girl just entering her strenuous and ambitious apprenticeship as reporter on a great city daily. Correspondents. critics, dramatic, society edftcus, woiicers in special departments which cover every known Held, philanthropic, sdehtlflo or what not; everything in the way of scholarly ud delliffitful talks on tht Rngllsh The with given In the pie ant drawing room the Parker Rouse, are still cordially remembered; and the verdict Is not yet pronounced as to whether the three charming hours the most charming was that spent with Dickens, with Kipling or with the ballad- Ists.

Such appeal.s are always welcome to the association; and to answer them effectively, when found worthy, is among its most cogeiit reasons for being. At Its lltcrajy and social meetings, held also monthly, some earnest worker, without or within Its own membership, speaks to the association on the w.orli he or she is engaged In; a dlscuslson, open to all, usually follows; then a cosey "high after which come music, story-telling, and a generally merry and friendly hour.

THE OFFICERS. Among the present officers of the association, apart from its president, are: First vice-president.

An eplsprammatic summary approved by all whose good fortune It Is to know her. In the reUglous and philan- thropio- life of Boston Miss, Conway ftM long been a telling factor. She is, by gubernatorial appointment, a member of the Prison Commission. Her cogent and eloquent lectures on sociologicaJ and literary subjects are much sought by clubs throughout New England.

She Is, moreover, the authoress of many delicate and thoughtful verses, lately collected Into a dainty volume. Her personality is a charming one; breathing frankness and resolution, tempered by a sweet and kindly humor. Second vice-president, Mrs. Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland.

It is now possible to hiro a mourning bonnet for any length of time, anif pretty hats and bonnets for evening wear need not be forsworn for lack of funds. 'A love of a bonnet" possesses superlative charms In the mind of average woman. and the knowledge that though her means are limited she Is not entirely deprived of attractive head-gear must be of interest to the mass of femininity. The woman whose ingenious brain and deft flngera has solved tho difficulty.

Is Mra. A. O. White, who attributes her venture to ths Impression made upon her by a dream in which success smiled upon just such an underteklng. In connection with her regular millinery department at 164A Tremont strest she Is superintending the new business, which promises to bs a lucra- tivs one.

Another business rather new to Boston has been opened by two women at 43 Bow- doln street. It Is the result of circumstances, and has been rather forced upon them by a large circle of friends outside the city. A large amount of time had been consumed by requests from these same friends to match ribbons and silks, to pay a visit to ths employment office and secure a substitute for the hard-hearted domestic who had left the family In a quagmire of household dlffioulUr. to hunt for bargains and do ths thousand and one little errands supposed to pleasurably occupy the mind of femininity. Out of these requests has sprung a business which Is thoroughly appreclatsd by the buey out- of-town woman who scarcely knows just what she wants, and Is glad to put the burden upon other and more competent shoulders.

He la as willing to be convinced as most talented Frenchmen, and as unwilling to condemn any cause whatsoever without a hearing as ho should be, but he draws.his doctrines out on simplo lines and he believes in belief more than the dissection of belief, and a square meal rather than a dose of absinthe. Hence as it takes a Frenchman to Judge a Frenchman just os thoroughly as is requires a thief to catch a thief, or a woman to understand a woman.

Paul Verlaine, the high priest; Stephana who gives English lessons and instructs at the Institut Rollln In the Batlguolles Quarter, and who is us poor as most people who cling In vain to on ideal which the poor old world is so incapable of understanding. A charming man is with merry, dancing eyes, not at all the eyes of a poet.

To the ordinary mortal ho never deigns to explain himself, and he is rather proud than otherwise to be misunderstood, or, rather, not understood in tho least, by a vulgar world unequal to the task of climbing the heights of his Parnassus. They are all so picturesque, and their youthful dreams and aspirations and desires so beautiful, that no one has any wish greater than to know them as they ore and climb and dream with them. Who knows If It were not for the absinthe there would be a possibility that we, too, might believe in words of twenty- two syllables and a vocabulary which no French dictionary extant would explain? chief Interpretation of himself seems to be if you hammer long enough on the same phrase, ring out the changes on It, you are bound to convince your audience there Is something there, but alas! up to the preeent the greater part of his audience is unconvinced.
