WOMEN AS BREAD WINNERS
DEAR TRIBUNE: have just been reading an arti-
Gle from the New York MAJ and Express, deprecat-
inc tiic practice of assuming, TO earn money

taking the position that women who are compelled
to make living should have all the opportunities
left TO them. The article has the appearance of
fairness ia II, to some extent. -

We have never enjoyed ourselves well since as

any one to milk a few cows and make superior

to tell him the number OF stock and bushels OF grain

THE PERFECT WOMAN. (PRov., 81 :I0)
by Kate BrouIles S.erwood.l
Who can find perfect woIaan?
More than rubes Is her price
Strength and honor are her clothing,
Good Is all her merchandise.
She is like the ships of princes
Bearing food from distant lands;
Seeking wool and fax, she worketh
Diligently with her hands.
While it yet Is dark she rseth
Giving to her household meat;
To the poor her hand she stretcheth
lca, the needy rise and eat.
She considereih purchase
Buying IL with fruits 81 toll
Fieics and vineyards rich in olives,
All the wealth o. wine and oil.
Strength surrounds her like a girdle,
Strength i ia her busy arms;
And her candle, never waning
Wards the hong nights rude alarms
She is not afraid Of Winter,
For her household, scarlet clad;
Children rise aud call her blessed,
Yea, her husbands heart - glad.
Wisdom dwelet in her eounsels,
On her tongue tlie law of love;
In the gates her husband, sitting,
Praises her ali else above.
Favor is deceitful! Beauty
IL of all supremacy vain,
Fear the Lord, q woman! Blessings
Shall descend ON thee like rain.
