WHAT SIJAI4L SIZE DO!

WHAT SlIAlAL SllE UOs
ID ne Editor ot Tbs Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Feb. e6.-All good people In
search Of remedies for diseases, lct it be OF
what nature 1t will, turn to The Homo for
advice. don't want advice, but I would
like to know what's to bo done under the cir
clmstances? Not, perhaps, tint my sttun-
parallel to 1t.
Don't talk Of woman.vottng until ample
room has becn made for her In spheres
where woman may safely walk without
fear Of contamination and the gathering
Of dust on her garments. All that Is
worst and most lisagrocabla Is
left behind In the trucks Of men for
woman 10 weep over and put In n corner, md
even then what little space 1t occupies, yet
a!l.enluring woman will sift the pile over
and over, taking out tho pins and the scraps
Of paper, but the pins are few in number,
tho scraps Of paper nero scraps indeed
What ean Il woman do?
1inlagine hcar the gruff masculine voice
In Eeply. "Stay Mt home and take care OF It,"
You have home, but servants are there to
work for You, no need for yDu to labor; n
another to oversee. no need Of sou there;
father to provide, again you ar0 not
needed. A weak feminine tone now comes
to me, "Tllere arc SO many things you can
do, II you would only try to find them out"
That Is justit. Wore trying to find them
out, but are forced to sit down with hands
folded and wait for opportunity to come to
lis. What aim have we III life? Try to
make one and society cries out "Sit down;
you arc not needed there" No class Of
women Is 80 much III neetl of the sympathy
and coincidence Of her follow-creatures as
tho woman OF means. Her poor sister, with
independent gait md head erect, may walk
the paths OF labor, where her companion
cannot enter. Money shuts hor OF and crles
come 10 her ears, "Leayo that track, make
room for those who need It more than you"

iss, has lsa .,er S Work to do. Sic Is ,nothef,

We hear occasionally Of love at first sight,
and we smile at the notion as romantic I;
but for all our disbelief and our derision,
the thing does sometimes happen even in
these matter-of fact days, and it happened
that evening in the case of Alexander Ashe.
His excuse must be that nothing in the world
was easier than to fall in love at first sight
with Amy Ashurst. Apart from her beauty,
and her remarkable charm Of manner, which
in itself would have been irresistible outfit
for far palmer girl, every moment spent
in her company made it more and more APP
parent that this outward loveliness was but
the exponent of a nature lovelier still, "pure
as her cheek and tender as her eyes," He
had been rather Indifferent to young ladies'
up to this time, and piqued himself little
as beauty-proof but he melted like frost in
sun under the influence of Amy's sunny
looks, and with feeling akin to that of the
if this were indeed he, as he drifted unre-
sistingly on under the bewitchment of the
occasion. Two hours sped like two min
utes. 1t was ten o'clock before Mrs. Ash
hurst walked in from her cercie. She greeted
nun Coiuldily, DuI lntlt was d llIlit tipltA-
ity in her manner as she said " | am very
glad to see you, but somehow you surprise
me a good deal. | was not prepared for
anything so tall or-formed. You know,
recollect you as little Albert and your
aunt Garry never mentioned that you were
so astonishingly grown"
Albert-Aunt Carryl" thought the mys-
titled Alex and then, with sudden sink
ing of heart, he began to surmise blunder.

mered. al Can there be- | am half
afraid may have made a mistake | am
Alexander Ashe, not Albert"
Mrs. Ashurst looked more puzzled than
ever. Florence blushed deeply, aud became
grave and embarrassed; but Amy's blue
eyes met his frankly, with such sparkle of
kindly fun in them that Alex took courage
TO go on.
