Indispensable FACTORS In Journalism.
Tie three greatrequisites for woman
journalist are good health, good sense
and good temper. Armed with these
any girl who really wishes to enter jour
nalism and has a knack at writing may
hope for success. There is always mar
ket for the best work, and editors are
progressive people, who recognize fully
the growing need Of feminine representa-.
ton in the newspapers whose readers are
90 largely women. For women in gem
eral read the papers more and more
every year, and those among them who
have an instinct which tells them what
the rest wish to read may hope for o
hearing for what they have to say. This
suggests the naming Of an indispensable
factor in journalism which Is hard to de

writers for the daily press It is called

as their settings. Her lashes, too, were
long and dusky. and, when she wished it,
completely yelled the wonderful eyes
which had so powerfully impressed me.
Though she was somewhat taller than
women commonly are, her exquisite
shapeliness was in no way detracted from
by her height.
Somehow, everything about her strange
ly moved and affected her. There was a
supple, cat-like litheness which marked
her every movement, and | felt that she
was the occult and tangible centre of an
atmosphere OF weird and intangible
mystery. One moment | would almost
fear her, and the next moment
would find myself regretting that l must
ever 90 away and leave her Her glances
thrilled and bewildered me like some re-
sistless and overpowering emotion, and at
the lightest touch Of her hand. or the
most insignificant rustic of her garments,

me was beyond my guessing, but that it
was sufficient to overcome any resistance

exercising just enough of her subtle force
to hold me sub servant to her will and not
whit more She, manifestly, only sought
to enchan me sufficiently to prevent my

her aim to leave me, as far as possible, in
a normal condition. was OF the opinion
that she had something to communicate to
me concerning her demon tormentor
which she feared might be unwilling to
listen to. There was much in her present
manner which so impressed me and many
| little circumstances connected with the de-
parture of the jewellers now came flashing
through my mind, satisfying me that lad
conjectured rightly. The more | reflected
upon the strange events of the night the
more mysterious and wonderful the woman
seemed to me. Every time that she had
spoken to me she had addressed me in
French, my native language. To the
jewellers she had spoken in Italian. Since
we were in Italy and there was nothing in
my personality to indicate that was
Frenchman, how had she so accurately
guessed my nationality? Had she already
guessed it when came to her rescue, or.
even before, while was still floating I'M
