FEMININE PARADISE.
The Opportunities Dakota offers to
Women.


The West and Northwest offer great<and
glowing inducements to all classes of wor-
thy young men to leave the comparatively
worn and proftless soil of the New En-
gland and Middle states, and come out to
grow up with the country" Dakota pre-
sents attractions hardly less alluring to
young women. To these it unfolds world
of opportunities to better their condition.
Out of population Of 415, 900 it already
contains 1900 representatives of the sex
that civiliZeS man. but there is ample room
for many more until the disparity in num-
bers is equallZed. 1t is estimated that
there are now $4,000 girls. big and
little, under the age of ri years, and as
many more married women in Dakota.
Add so, $50 widows of indefinite years, and
there still remains fright smart chance"
for worthy. enterprising Young women to
select husbands from choice lot of candi-
dates for matrimonial honOrS.
The average Dakota girl during the early
boom period was type of energy and uu-
daunted courage worthy the admiration if
not emulation of her sisters. Among the
then hOmeSteaderS and pre-emptOrS she
brayely cast her lot, and without hinching
confronted her full share of dangers and
hardships. She had plenty of nerve and
persistence. No matter how hard the wind
blew or depressing the obstacles she en-
countered during the six months residence
required by law, she never abandoned
her claim. The commissioner of immigra-
ton located at Huron-who is apparently
as much of an enthusiast as Pat Donan on
the subject of ''marriageable females''-
declares that ''in some instances a merry
company of young women. including per-
haps few enterprising widows OF the age
of spice in woman. would establish fe-
male colony on small scale. and by group
ing two or three 'shacks' together on inter-
secting corners of adjoining claims would
manage to keep the settlement pretty in
tact" ITO such party" he adds, ''claim
life, even if passed in residence composed
of sod, had its positive charms. Plain
cooking. regular habits and liberal draughts
of the air that alone is enough to make
Dakota famous, supplied the conditions OF
an enjoyable existence"
| The number of women who have OBJ
/ tanned one or two manifestations of hum
dred and sixty acres each in Dakota is very
large. Such property Interests prove
good investment against a rainy day." and
every added improvement renders them
more valuable. In short time they can
readily be converted into cash at good
| prices. Many school teachers, dress
makers, saleswomen and girls at service,
and others more Or less dependent on some
male relative for support. have Judlclously
| saved. invested their earnings and acquired
property in this way and are now lndepend-
entity well off, with fair prospect of be-
coming rich. The women OF Dakota
whether practical farmers or not-are
treated with chivalrous respect. and ac-
cording to their merits are welcomed and
accorded first place in the best class of So
ciety.-Western Trail.

No Neglected women i'm Turkey.

Letter from Minister Cox: The Moham-
medan code provides as to the time to be
devoted by the husband to each one of his
wives. in case he has more than one This
rule of law has its initiative in the organic
law that each man has right to four wives
and that the man has the absolute disposal
of all the hours of the day for himself
The law allows no right to the wife to
claim the attention of husband during the
daytime. 1t creates al obligation upon the
husband to divide the rest of his time
equally between his wives, or at least he is
not bound to make his court, or to be with
one wife more than once in every four days
and this whether he has one wife or more.

.natured and tries to like the fun,
But it is in the evening that the face of
the Long Branch charmer lights up and
her eyes soften with glad anticipation. A
young Wall street man who comes down
every night is said to be the cause of it. He
is handsome young man, built like all
Apollo, and in his neat bathing costume is
study for an artist.
The pretty girl is not so loquacious when
he is around, and she never attempts to
''duck" him. But it requires no very keen
perception to see that he is the favored
one, and while the thin youth and the fat
man sit disconsolately on the shore she
sports in the surf, unmindful of their I'M
happiness. and only too pleased that her
athletic admirer is by her side.

hard drawn line of simply paying the bills
closes thousand avenues to gentle joys
and pleasures in woman's daily life. An
arrangement for the maintenance of the
household should be amicably and justly
made between the wife who possesses an
income and the husband who earns one
The greater responsibility which the law
now gives to moneyed wife should make
her not less, but more careful in her ex-
penditure. But the wives who have no
money of their own are larger class. and
these we advise to strike the iron when hot,
so to speak, by getting their husbands, be-
fore the ardOr of their honeymoon cools, to
give them an annual allowance. The little
unavoidable demands on a husbands
purse, to which wife is so frequently
compelled to have recourse, are very apt to
create pickering and discord, and when
once good humor is put out of the way it
is not such an easy matter to bring it back
again.

How the Matter Should be Com.
sidered by Husband and Wife.
The mistress of well-ordered home
takes broad and liberal. view of things.
While cutting her coat according to her
cloth, and as much as possible shielding her
husband from the constant d emands for
money, which few masculine tempers can
stand, she refrains from the wearying petty
economies which often enough are not worth
the trouble and discomfort they entail.
Ten valuable minutes may be wasted in un-
tying knot to save piece of string not
worth the sixtieth part of farthing, to say
nothing OF the injury to nails and temper.

very often pound foolish.

beach is escorted to the sands by a tall, thin
young man. who Is evidently afraid of the
water When he dons his bathing-suit his

stand on the shore warn him to look out for

liking.
The thin young man stands on the shore
most of the time and inwardly hopes that
