SHE LETS THEM SWEAR. Speaking of Fay Kellogg, tho architect, In Human Life for Febru ary, Ada Patterson writes: Sho wnlked tho scantlings eighty feet above ground in tho Unit of Records, watching tho workmen at their work, and directing them where need bo, vigilant Hint the architect's plans be carried out to the minutest particular. "I have never allowed myself to remember that I am a woman," she said. "When men havo wanted to make concessions to mo for that reason I havo said: 'None of that. I want to be treated neither as a su perior nor as an Inferior, but as an equnl.' But, on the other hand, I have yielded points when it has been necessary." There were nineteen sorts of spec ial workmen engaged on the wood work alone of one of the big build ings sho planneu. Miss Kellogg, In short skirt and round, soft felt hat that sho wore veilless, climbed the building to its crown and directed their work. "If the men wanted to swear I always let 'em. If It became necessary I even sworo myself." Most modest Is this best known of women architects. "I am not proud of anything I have done, but I shall be proud of the things I intend to do. I want to build a skyserapper, a different and better skyserapper than has ever been built." In speaking of the honesty of women as business factors, Miss Kel logg paid tribute to her sex with a declaration for which she challenged the architect frequently meets. He often recommends the awarding of contracts to builders and others who furnish materials. If he Is venal, many a chance conies to receive a check for courtesies of this kind." "If all tho architects of the capltol of Harrlsburg had been women there might not have been a graft scan dal." "Probably not," said Fay Kel logg, architect.

A IJirgo Throng Hrnved the Storm nnd Had a Good Supper. The men of Seolyvllle sustained their well-earned reputation on Thursday ovcnlng last of being able to provide an oyster supper that was calculated to satisfy the taste of tho most fastidious eplcurlan. Al though tho evening was stormy, over four hundred hungry mortals braved the storm and pulled the latch string of the Seolyvllle chapel In order that they might partake of a supper which was cooked and served by men, who were bravo enough to throw down tho gauntlet to their better halves and provo by a prac tical demonstration that If all the women In crentlon should go to heaven, that this world would still be able to go on nnd on, so far as tho proper running of a kitchen nnd dining room was concerned. The decree had gono forth that no woman would be allowed to perform any of the functions of which ordinarily she Is tho boss, and the result was a womanloss kitchen with mnsculiue cooks and dishwashers, a dining room with masculine and muscular waiters. To say that the cooking was good is putting it very mild and that the service was excellent, Is only telling the truth in a faint hearted way, and the ladles of Seely vllle have como to the conclusion that it will never do for them to go on a strike and consequently there will be no hoiibo wives' union form ed during the present generation. Honesdale sent up a big delegation to get a good, square meal, and they all came back well satisfied and pleased. One of the Honesdale ladles remarked: "I rannot under stand where they get so many men in Seelyville." Those who had tho management of the affair In charge are to be congratulated on the man ner In which every thing was car ried on plenty to eat, good service, no long delays, excellent transporta tion accomodation between Seely ville and Honesdale, both going and coming. There was not a single break to mar the complete success of tho affair. The amount netted by the Seelyville Fire Company, who had the undertaking In charge was one hundred and forty dollars One of Lamb's Witticisms. Charles Lamb was Invited to a par ty where tho room was crowded with children. Their noise and tricks plagued him not a little and at sup per, when toasts were flying to and fro, ho rose to propose tho health of the "m-much ca-ca-caluminated g-g-good King Herod!" II. S.
