jwililltip Women- INTERESTING FACSIMILES OF DRESSES MADE FOR THE QUEEN OF HOLLAND. A STORMY SESSION. NURSES QUARREL THEY DO NOT WANT PHYSICIANS IN THEIR ASSOCIATION. Matters became SO tangled at yesterday's meeting of the New-York State Nurses" Association, held at the Academy of Medicine, that half of the business had not been transacted when the meeting adjourned. Discussion of the membership clause was taken up with renewed zest, after both factions had gathered their forces, and it was found that representatives of alumna associations had so Increased their number as to make the result a foregone conclusion.

The discussion became so heated that members carried on arguments with each other across the room and ignored the presiding officer's tppeal to "Please address the chair:" When a follower cf the "individual faction" expressed the fear that other associations might get injunctions against this one, members of the alumr.ae association faction called. "Let 'em get it:" and one of the leaders announced, "I'm tired of this getting up ail sorts of The chairman did not try to cope with the problems brought up by opposing factions, but handed them right over to the body of the house, saying as each question arose: "I don't know. Will somebody who knows answer the question?" Whereupon two or three members would give varying opinions for the information of the bewildered member, who fir.ally saw that questions only increased the general confusion, and gave up in despair. Fir.aUy an effort was made to win over the "Individual faction" by a compromise. Alumnae associations are to join as such and be represented by voting delegates, and individual members may also join and have the right to vote, until there are twenty-five such members in any one locality, or country, when it is expected that they will organize represented by delegates.

This clause was passea after a stormy discussion, punctuated at times by applause and hisses. In reply to a member who wanted to wait before deciding on this membership clause, one of the ilumns association faction said: "There seems to be inclination on the part of some persons to paraphrase the old saying into 'Never do to-day what you ran put off till to-morrow." When the president announced the clause as carried Lllen Enrizht. who belongs to the "individual faction," said: "I am a member of a State alumna; association, and I shall use my Influence and endeavor to have the alumnae use its Influence toward preventing any legislation this association may offer. I consider that we have been legislated oui cf our nrht.s." This speech was received with mingled hisses and applause, above which members of the alumnffi association faction were heard to call. "We expected that:" Although the motion had been carried by a large majority, there seamed to be a general vagueness 01 the part of many as to what would be the effect of the clause, and for quarter of an hour the presiding officer was busy answering, "I don't know.

Will somebody who does know tell member." in reply to such questions as. "If I am an Individual must I give up my right if my alumrise loins?" "What did 1 pay my dollar for this the alumnae or myself?" and "Has sr.y member who here the right to pledge her to membership when she is not an authorized delegate, and has Joined as an individual?" CENSURE MEDICAL PROFESSION. The medical profession in for a full share of the doubtful compliments that were exchanged at the meeting, and when a clause was to be brought up which was intended to exclude physicians from holding Bice the presiding officer made a plea for conservative treatment of the subject, saying: "I do cot want reporters and others to think that we ere hostile to medical profession." But this had no effect whatever on those who fcaji something to say and had come prepared to express their views. "I believe in limiting the trustees to the regular namely, the nurses. The medical profession cannot safely be trusted with office in a nurses' association." said i member.

"The experience of other nurses's associations shows that they have had members of the medical profession as officers it has been a detriment to the association and to the nurses as women." "I indorse what the member has announced another member, "and I am the daughter of a physician." That settled the fate of the physicians, and the cause was declared carried. Tv, It was hen the matter of dues came up that tne situation became hopelessly tangled, for again membership discussion was introduced, and the president said: "I think we ought to nave some pood, reputable lawyer present, who 'd understand the legality of these things." men some one moved to adjourn. The presiding "nicer did not want to adjourn just then, so ignored the motion, and association to again with the knotty points In the const itu- I- On adopt bylaws at the annual meeting, to neld in April In the mi an time, a committee £111 attend to getting the charter and informing as to the legality of yesterday's proceedings, specially regarding the dues.

HOW TO PLANK SHAD-ANY PERSON WITH AX OVDN MAY PREP ARK THE SAVORY DISH.

There Is r.o record when planked shad was first discovered. It was probably one of those cases where necessity was the mother of Invention, and that it was In use before Columbus landed In America is established by the fact that mention is made of the Indians '-cooking the fish upon logs on the banks of the river." They had no broilers or frying pans, and since they could not eat raw shad it is a self-evident proposition they must have cooked it upon logs before the tire, for the oily nature of the shad would have burned and smoked If it was suspended over the fire. It is fair, then, to argue that planked shad was the first way shad was cooked, and It Is now becoming the most sensible, easiest and best way to prepare the fish for the table. In Southern Florida, in the winter of 1579. when the shad were running in the bays, the writer has, seen fishermen, when they come to shore, build a fire and nail a few shad to a hewn log of oak and put them before the fire.

It was a regular thing for every New-York family to have a barrel of salt shad in the house, which was called upon -weekly to fill up the bill of fare, but planked shad was unknown. The Florida method was a revelation, and it created an inspiration that if the plank was laid flat in an oven the same flavor would be reached, and perhaps better. Thousands since have carried pood news, until all the stores now carry shad planks as they do frying pans and broilers, and every who has an oven can have planked shad. There are many who have never tried It, however, and suppose planked shad must be prepared before the fire as the old used to do. The explanation of the process and the why of it Is as follows: In all woods there is an acid, which can be recovered by distillation or heat, different woods different acids In the same class of woods, as oak.

different acids; this difference Is the cause of the different kinds of apples, and yet they all grow on apple trees. The cause Is In the acid that Is in the wood. After a trial of all kinds of wood, white oak grown on the hummocks of Southern Florida has been found to contain the acid of just the right kind, a pyroligenoua acid that, uniting with the oil of the shad, makes a gas that imparts to the fish a luscious, sweet and pleasing flavor. The plank is made about twelve Inches wide, sixteen inches long and two Inches thick, well battered on the ends to prevent checking, for wood is not expected to stnnd re and heat, and lasts only a limited time in this service. The plank should be heated and the top lightly buttered (do not use bacon cr salt pork, for It counteracts the delicate flavor), the shad split down the back and laid upon the plank skin side down, the roes being placed in their natural position, one on each side, a slight spread of butter over the shad and roe? and a sprinkling of gait and pepper.

The whole should be placed In a hot oven; In from thirty to forty-five according to the size of the Shad, it will be rooked The whole plank and shad should he brought on the (Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

A new building will be erected by the board of managers of the Sanatorium for Hebrew Children. at Rockaway Patk. Long Island, in order to ke-p the institution open throughout the year and take care of the sick and convalescent poor children of New-York. The present sanatorium accommodates 600 people. This new buildtne will.

It is thought, enable the great hospitals and other institutions to pend thr-ir convalescent children to a place whe.e fresh air and proper diet will help to complete the cure, which is so often retarded by a return to the polluted atmosphere of crowded tenement quarters. The land for the purpose has already been porchased, and is held free and clear of all encumbrances. In estah'ishlng the Institution upon its new basis, the board of managers will be obliged to have a. larger staff of attendants, phypiclans. and it lias asked that the public contribute to the sanatorium funds.

In his annual report for the summer of 1901 the president stated that l.fl persona were admitted to the sanatorium for periods varying from one to two weeks, of these were mothers accompanied by babies under two years of age. and among those admitted were suffering from acute diseases incident to infancy and childhood through the iummc; months. Only four deaths were reported. Of the day patients brought down to the sanatorium by twenty-six train excursions, there were 15.608. and on single excursions 1.100 persons were handler 1 at one time.

1902. SHOPPER AXD SHOP GIRL. BOTH SIDES OF AN INTERESTING QUESTION INVESTIGATED BY A WOMAN. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead that he has not listened with his heart swelling with to the pathetic shopping stories related by his women folks?" said a woman yesterday. "The women who shoo are divided into two the buyers and the lookers.

it is the former class whose experiences are the most harrow. ing, although. to be sure, one must look, and look well, before one can buy; but it is. perhaps, the ones who are only looking (with no intention of buying) who cause much of the trouble. Most women have a horror of buying the first thing they tee.

even though it is suitable in every particular. It gives one such a comfortable feeling to be quite Wire the article one has selected Is the very best to he had in New-York for the money. therefore women go from shop to shop and home with all sorts of experiences to relate. I went downtown to buy a suit this morning, 1 said a woman to me the other day. and 1 have never had such an unsuccessful tour.

Every saleswoman with whom I came in contact was horrid. I lust dread buying millinery or anything ready to wear, anyway. in those departments the women aTe so exasperatingly superior. In one store I entered the department and saw at least eight women standing, or r.ithcr posing, about the room just whore the long mirrors would reflect their superb figures and their trailing black gowns. Not one of them stirred.

I was obliged to ask to he waited upon. I was shown one that I liked very much, so I tried It on. and. would you believe that while I was looking at the front that woman gathered a grnt fold of the material up at the back In order to make the jacket set smoothly through the waist? Then she said it fitted me alteration. I so disgusted that I left.

THE HAT WAS "JUST GRAND." "The next place I went the young woman was charming and most accommodating. The sleeves of the jacket I was trying on were entirely too short. bat She assured me they looked much better on my fat arm than longer ones could possibly look. The shoulders were much too roomy, hut she was quite pure a stout person became more shapely in loose clothing, and. as for the waist line, which was fully an inch too low.

that would give the much desired long effect that was bo stylish. 'That was the way it went for more than half a day. By that time had found a suit, and had begun to look for a hat. Now. 1 suppose I tried on in the course of a few hours nor less than eighteen hats, and every one of those eighteen were the most becoming hats the milliners had seen this season.

I found out that my particular colors, the most suitable for my complexion, the ones I could wear by day and by night, were red, white, purple. green, gray, yellow, brown, pink, blue, orange and black. I could also wear any shape, and there was not a single instance where the prevailing color of the hat did not harmonize beautifully with my hair. Miss Smith was inevitably appealed to. Yes, Miss Smith thought It looked grand, and such a stylish little hat.

too. 1 would have welcomed anybody who would have declared positively that I was a "it takes a lot of courage to come boldly out and say that you see nothing you care for. I believe lots of weak minded women purchase things against their better Judgment Just to avoid the sullen eyes and the Insulting manner some of these girls display when they cannot sell goods. "Another woman of my acquaintance has told me how the saleswomen would snatch up the suits, run out of the fitting room and slam the door after them, leaving the poor shopper who did not buy to get li. to her clothes the best way she could.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES. TOO. "It is these little annoying occurrences that go to make up the great volume of complaints that we so often hear against lue people employed In department stores. However, as there are always two sides to a question, it is unjust to allow all our sympathies to go to the customer until we have heard the other s.ue. "It was to hear this other side that I entered Into conversation a woman employed by a representative department store.

An automobile coat was thrown over her arm and her face was radiant, "Oh. I'm no R-lad 1 made that she exclaimed. "It was probably my last chance to-day and there had been nothing on my "I looked at the clock. ft was 5. 'Do you mean to say." I asked, "that she was your first customer to-day? 'My first sale.

I've had any number of people looking. It has been of those days when people just won't buy. It makes It very hard for us. No wonder we not always pleasant. Now, today Is an example.

I have shown first one and then another the entire stock. Most women think If they are pleasant we should be. Some of them seem to think we should be. anyway. But being pleasant Isn't always easy when you see the other girls selling poods while you are working just as hard and selling nothing.

Every night our books are turned in. If they show big pales it Is all well and good, and nothing Is said about It, but if there is not much there It Is sure, to bo noticed and spoken of. We are. put here to sell. It is sell or get out Doing the best you can Isn't counted at all.

BUT DO NOT BUY. he said finally, 'we will suppose a caseone that often happens In my department. A wealthy woman, whose daughter Is about to be married, will come in to look up materials for the trousseau. will take an hour or so of my time Just glancing through the stock. The next day -he.

will come In with her daughter. That means more time and a lot of work. You see. she wants silks or satins with certain laces to match, and If we do not have them in stock I must know Ist where to get them on short notice. For the next week the bridesmaids and the maid of honor will be in and out, trying this combination and that effect and finally they will decide to let me figure up the whole business, which Is no easy Job.

following out designs and color schemes; and after 1 have days working over that trousseau, the contract la lust as apt to be given to some other store as II 1-; to me. 'I suppose they think we are paid for just that sort of thing, which, to an extent, is true; but, nevertheless, the boss expects us to sell goods Just as like as not, after an experience of this kind, somebody will come, in and look over the whole stock, and after three-quarters of an hour In thinking it over will take a quarter of a yard or ask for a sample We are only human, anil by that time our patience Is exhausted. Then some girl with red hair and a face covered with Will Insist on buying pink silk for .111 evening gown and ask me if it is becoming. Well, now she would be mad if I told her the truth. It Is hard to distinguish between the women who want to be flattered and the ones who want the truth But that is part of the business The majority belong to the first class.

It la .1 pretty safe rule to follow But when we do get them mixed up we suffer the consequences. So, you see, it is not all beer and sandwiches." RECITAL RY MISS BAKER. A large number of fashionable women gathered sterday morning in the studio of Huben Vos, at No. go to hear Miss Amy Baker's recital ot Tennyson's "Enoch Arden," with descripti music by Richard Strauss, played by Bruno Huhn. The poem was divided by musical Interludes, while in parts the reader's was effectively bj iompanied by the instrumentation, and the combination gave a variety that made the s-c-m short.

Tin audience listened to the recital with unflagging attention, and as the pathos of the story developed, familiar as it Is. many "paid the tribute of tears" to Miss Baker's sympathetic rendering. Amonir those present were sfflMS. K. William Davies, EM ward i.a tfontagne, Henry I-.

CHARITIES DEPARTMENT SETS APART A BLACKWEI.L'S ISLAND BUILDING FOR THEM. The new Charities Department administration yesterday began to transfer all the phthisis patients under its care to one of the buildings formerly occupied by the Manhattan State Hospital on Blackwell Island.

Commissioner Folks says the presence of phthisis patients is detrimental to the health of other patients, and he decided to isolate them. Mr. Folks said: This is a arrangement to relieve the general hospital from the presence of the consumptive patients, and to provide for the latter special rare and treatment. The buildin? that has been put in order will accommodate about 120 patients. There axe two other buildings, with a total accommodation of about 9BA These will require some alterations before being ready for occupancy, and no steps will be taken in this direction until the entire question has been more fully investigated and the best expert advice received.

Dr. Stewart, of Bellevue. and the other phypirlans regard the move as a wise one. On account of the stormy weather, the serious cases of consumption were not disturbed yesterday. Only twenty-one patients were transferred to the new pavilion.

To-dfcy. weather permitting, the remaining phthisis TaMents will be removed to Blackwell's Island. A peculiar circumstance is that out of the total of fortysix patients, only seven are women. Bellevue and the allied hospitals will be turned over to-day to the board of seven trustees which will manage the hospital affairs hereafter. RECEIVER FOR ZIOXIST DOW IE.

On Monday he will enter a decree appointing Elmer Washhurn to the position of receiver under a bond of The court, in a lengthy decision of the rase, which was instituted by Samuel Stevenson, a brother-in-law of John Alexander Dowte, said that Dowie's church, the Christian Catholic Church, was a 1 urious mixture of religion and business. He held that Stevenson had.

by undue Influence exerted by Powle as head of the Church, been led to turn over to Dowle practically everything he owned, and that Stevenson was entitled to at least $100,000 from Dowle or the lace industries, which, he said, were practically the same thing. An amended bill and an amended answer will be filed by the parties to the suit on Monday, when the decree appointing a receiver will be entered. Until then, by stipulation. Dowle is prevented from disposing of any more preferred stock. Dowle will pray an appeal, and Judge Tuley intimates that it will be granted, owing to the peculiar points of law involved and the presence in the case of factors on which no law seemed to bear.

In discussing the bond for the receiver. Attorney Packard, acting for Dowie, declared that if the receiver was for all of Dowie's property he should require a bond of $10,000,000.

The City Vigilance League has adopted and issued in printed form a report of its executive committee, detailing the work of the organisation in the campaign for the election of the fusion ticket and making suggestions for active co-operation with the new administration in work for municipal reforms. The report declares that there is needed two years of construction, of education, of development of civic pride and of social harmonizing. It says that if the new administration can show large practical benefits to the people from decent government It will be re-elected, but not otherwise. The following suggestions are made: Let Seward Park and other small parks be completed decently and at once Let other parks and playgrounds be opened.

Let public baths and be established. Let us have public comfort stations and drinking fountains. Let us have ample school accommodations and clean streets. particular attention be paid to the conduct of the public servants in the poor and populous districts and let extortion and brutality be prevented The people then will realize that It is their government, and they will stand by it.
