From Chambers Journal
Most of US have heard Of a certain thoughtful
little girl who took Time by the forelock, and
decided that If woman must have some profess
sion to turn to, she would be q professional
beauty. Several women have passed the old
turnstile to public lite, and got in somehow on
mems tickets. Their Insignificant sisters peep
over the wall and observe that men who outside
were the soul of chivalry. begin to elbow the
ladies within, and ungallantly assert in sef-de-
Tense that the ladies have elbows, too. The in
significant sisters will not enter; but II they
tried to reason about it, they would be 'stump-
ed out" in moment by the others on the plat
forms inside. ''When hear woman use intel
lectual arguments am dismayed" says a wise
thinker from beyond the Atlantic and the in
significant crowd aforesaid and the majority of
the world agree with him in this, and those out
side the wall find out all at once that a woman's
unreasOnng nature is no Insignificant charm.
Her best reason as it Is the worlds best is the
inspiration of pure and believing heart. She is
the happiest when she devotes herself obedient
to her patient and unselfish nature, to some
loved being or high cause. and glory itself, says
Madame de Stael. would be for her only SPLEEN

In America. where life is lived double quick.
and where every product, from a continent
downward, is OF the largest size, there are crops

can discuss the nebular hypothesis or the bno.
mial theory. as ours talk of lacework and the
baby. Mr.. Hudson, in his recent "Scamper
through America" declares that to converse in
the railway cars with ladies returning from con-
ventions and conferences was a genuine
pleasure; an intellectual treat But he adds
that, though one could revere them, almost
worship them, to love them was out OF the
question
For each one Of us there is some face en-.
shrined in memory. whose influence is lofty as
an inspiration. whose power is living power,
whose love has been stronger than death. and
will light an upward path for US even to lite's
end. Why is all this but because she whom we
loved was heroine? And what were her char
acteristics? One answer will serve for all-Ten-
derness, gentfeless, self-forgetfuness. suffer-
ing. The last characteristic may not be univer-
sal, like the rest. But the highest love can only
exist where suffering has touched the object
loved. 1t is one of the cOmpensations for the
manifold sorrow of this world of ours. The fire
of trial seems to light up every beauty and at
traction The life that not only loved much,
but suffered much, has royal right of infiu-
ence as long as memory lasts-an influence
which cannot belong to any life which suffering
has not crowned.
