pleasant old style supper was given by
Merriam Park Methodsts Thursday in Wood
ruff hall, the Grace church orchestra being
present. Mrs. Fuller sang several good vocal
pieces The important attraction of the
affair was Il bed quilt, every block of which
represented a person who had been active in
obtaining money for the contemplated church
building. This quilt represented sos, con-

it without damage to their health and those
interests of the race and society which are
bound up with their well being. says a
writer in Popular Science Monthly. This
is the real difficulty. both Of the higher ed
ucation and the general circumstances sur
rounding the SelfsuppOrt OF women. For
the strain is severe. and must be, II they
are to successfully compete with men
undeniably the stronger, both in mind and
body, in intellectual grasp and stay
ing power, in the faculty of Orlglna-
ton, the capacity for sustained effort and
in patient perseverance under arduous and
it may be distasteful labor. But the dream
and the chief endeavOr of women now is to
do the same work as men alone have hith-
erto dOne-which means that the weaker
shall come into direct competition with the
stronger-the result being surely toregone
conclusion. This is the natural consequence
of the degradation by women themselves of
their own more fitting work; so that a fe-
male doctor, for the present, holds higher
social position than does a resident govern
ess, while telegraph girl may be lady,
but shop girl cannot.
For well-paid intellectual work good
education is naturally of the first necessity,
and the base on which all the rest is
founded. Wherefore, the higher education
has been organized more as practical
equipment than as an outcome of the purely
intellectual desire of women to learn where
they may have nothing to gam by it. For
all this, many girls go to Girton and Newn-
ham who do not mean to practically profit
by their educatiOn-girls who want 10 es-
cape from the narrow limits of the home.
and who yearn after the quasi-independence
of college life-girls to whom the unknown
is emphatically the magnificent. and who
desire novelty before all things; with the
remnant of the purely studous-those who

THE LADY RAMBLE K.

A Few Thoughts on the Picturesque
Winter Dress of the Young Nsen
and VI a idens.
1t is quite the fashion to sigh because the
clothes worn by the modern beau are so
distressingly unpictureSque and common
looking. But while it must be conceded
that the young man in full dress is the most
con Ventlonal and prosaic of creatures, in
his winter toggery he is too perfectly capt.
waiting for any use, and meeting him on the
street you instantly decide that whatever
may be lacking in his get-up. it is not the
picturesque. He has been obliged to lay aside
the dignitied silk hat, thank goodness. and
he tits his jaunty seal cap to most becom-
ing angle, while his top coat, if it isn't OF
soft, fluffy fur that you feel irresistibly
compelled to hug, is very apt to be
trim garment so Ornamented with fur and
braid and cord and buttons that he looks
like Russian prince out of your favorite
drama.
~
Obi Of course we girls are also bewitch-
ing in our winter attire, those OF US at least
whose noses are not Redeemed by the chill
ing blasts. l defy girl to look pictur-
eSque, or even passaDly well, with red
nose, even IL sue QOeS wear d UcdVeT JdCk6I
and keep her ears warm with a pair OF
diamond solitaires. Actually. feel sorry
for my most hated rival when l see her
cavorting around in public with red nose.
#xx
But, as rule. we are awfully taking in
our winter costumes, and if full-length mir
rOrs had never been invented we should
quite enjoy dressing for the street. AS it
is, we adjust our wraps. knot our black lace
scarfs about our heads. smile with satiSfac-
ton to see how well we look, and then our
eyes suddenly rest upon our feet and we
know just how uncOmfOrtable.the unfOrtu-
nate peacock feels when he glances at his
pedal extremities. One may be able to
sqeeze No. foot into quite a
decent No. AZ slipper. but when
it comes to arctic overshOeS it is quite diff
ferent matter. If there could be devised
some respectable method of keeping ones
feet warm, one might talk of poetry and
sentiment and winter clothing in the same
breath. Under the present arrangement
there is no room for romance.

marriage? Why, my dear fellow, don't
you know the language of love is as varied
as the coIors in a field OF grass? You might
as well try to count the sands of the sea as
to endeavor to recall such forms of express
sion. l think that the ridiculous practice
of dropping on the knees IS long since rel
egated to the John Chivsree type of young
man. think the touch of hand or the
earnest glance of an eye has more to do
with love making than all the known Ian
guages. Tacit understandings are the rules
nowadays, and suddenly there is a we'd
ding"

prevails among them, says the New ork
Post. The remedy is in their own hands,
and yet they refuse to apply it, In large
proportion of cases the sole reason is be-
cause they would rather starve in the city
than have plenty to eat in the country; be-
cause they would rather endure intOlerable
ills in metropolis than enjoy comfort in a
quiet town; because they would rather
catch glimpses of the rich in great center
than live in avillage where nobody is rich
and nobody Door: because they would rather
go hungry and cold amid the excitement of
urban life than be we'll fed and well housed
in community which leads humdrum
existence.
AS for the prejudice against domestic
service which keeps so many women out of
it, there is nothing to be said in the way Of
argument. The simple facts about such
service are that it is perfectly respectable,
thoroughly comfortable, and exceptionally
well paid. A young woman has right to
refuse employment under such excellent
conditions. and instead try to make living
in factory or shop where she can earn
only S. or 81 week. But after making
this choice she has no right to complain
because she does not fare well. nor have
philanthropists any right to invoke the pub
lie sympathy in her behalf 1t is charged
that thousands of women go to the bad in
New York every year because they cannot

equal rights under the law for both sexes,
we suddenly find that the shoe is on the
other foot, so to speak. and that the men
are complaining because the law treats them
unfairly and are beSeeching equity to inter-
fere in their behalf. Young Van Derslip is a
case in point. When his engagement was
announced his associates openly expressed
their envy of his good for tune, and won
dered if he realized his luck. When the
marriage came off with great ecat and the
father-n-law handed his daughter check
for $40, 600 they envied more than ever,
and couldn't see what there was about Van
Derslip for girl of discrimination to adj
mire. AS the days passed, however, and
Van Derslip made little change in his mode
OF living, kept grubbng away at
grew shabbier and shabbier, they ceased
to envy but continued to won
der AT last. little by little, the truth
of the story came out. Mrs. Van Derslip
being the daughter of a money-lnaking
father, just quietly invested her $4,000,
and absolutely declined to so much as dress
herself out of the proceeds, to say nothing
of sharing the family expenses Of course.
there will be a nice provision for the future
sciOns of the house of Van Derslip, but it
must be confessed that it is rather tough OH
fellow. Mrs. Van Dersip is quite serene
and the law is on her side. Her husband
has about concluded that he might as well
have married that little seanlstress of whom
he was so fond. but who was as poor as
Jobs turkey, and he is working hard to get
the present laws on the property rights of
married women at least somewhat modi-
fed.

women that would have studied
as ardently, and with less strain. i'll their

longer time over their education and would
not have hurt their health and drained
their vital energies by doing in two or
three years what should have taken i've or
six: who would have gathered with more
deliberation, not spurred by emulation nor
driven by competitions; and who, with
energy superadded to their love OF knowl-
