The American Free Dress Association will
hold its first annual convention at Child's
Hall, Painsville, Ohio, September and 3, |

ing the public mind appeals TO the reason |
aud the conscience of candid thinking peo- |

An experienced Western editor pays a
high compliment to the fair patrons OF the
press: "women" he says, "are the best
subscribers in the world to newspapers,
magazines, etc. We have been editor for
forty years, and have never lost dollar by
female subscribers. They seem 10 make 1t
a point of conscientious duty to pay the
preacher and the printer-two classes of the
community that suffer more by tad paw and
no pay at all than all the rest put together"
The Women's Educational and Industrial
Society are not satisfied with having taught
1000 workingwomen during the past is
months how to earn an honest living. When
a sewing girl can earn only few dollars a
week, she must be taught anot er lesson
how to keep soul and body together on
what she earns. The managers II the Free
Training Schools have solved t 10 double
problem by opening their doors every morn
ing and giving every workingV oman who
comes hearty breakfast for FIVE cents.-N.

Tidings have Just reached us from Roch-
ester's silent Susan, from which it would
appear that the reports in the m ,rning pa
pers concerning her are not strictly accu-
rate. She had read Bessies shameful yarn,
but not word escaped her. Once or twice
she removed her gold trimmed spectacles,
fiourished them over her heao if they
were tomahawk, and then st down on
them and gave way to thought. There was
no wIldness in her eye, no freely in her
manner, no tremOr of her nerv s: but the
trained observer easily detected he settled
expression of a woman who ielt that she
owned Juggernaut car, and meant to
move it.-Brooklyn Argus.

but there are still difficulties in their way.
Ladies are not readily admitted into the
best schools; they are not allowed to attend
any of the lectures at the Beaux Arts; not
even the sober spoken essays OF NJ. Taine.
They do go, nevertheless for la lies who are
thoroughly bert upon accomplishing pur-
pose have had their own way ever since the
world began, and there are stories concern

A few days since the wages of the girls in
Dunham's wooden mill, in POquonnock,
were reduced or held back, to meet the ex-

part of the girls, and a strike followed. The
men prevented the girls from going to work

not preserve the peace. Four men threat

the mills with bars of iron, and the bosses

Middle-aged young ladies are looking up
in the matrimonial market. 1t is becoming
quite the fashion in England for men to
marry women older than themselves. Thus

The New York Evening Post says: The
Ladies' Training School for Nurses, which
was opened in the face of many difficulties,
has proved itself to be one of the most valu-
able adjuncts of the physician wherever its
usefulness has been tested. BY the terms of
the gift with which it was endowed at the
outset its ministrations were to be limited
to hospitals. The medical board of Bellevue
Hospital opened several wards to the nurses
from the training school, and hitherto there
has been employment for all of them under
instruction. Now, however, three of them
are unemployed, and the lady managers
will permit them to go into private nursing
service until they are again required for
