Tho Practical Woman.

As have said before, man has the id
vantage of possession; life Is tho survival OF
the ftteSt; and since man has the vantage
ground, only those women who are armed
with the same weapons, have the s2rnc deter
mination to succeed and tho samc stake to
lose will gain tho same footing / do not
mean to accuse man Of any moro injustice
than comes of this struggle for life; IS 1 have
said business is business. No man pays for
anything more than he is compelled to pay.
Let our girls become really thorough sales
women, both wholesale and retail, even if it
comes to travelling; let them practically learn
printing, engraving, designing. light cabinet
wook, stenography, book keeping, watch
making, goldsrnithing, dressmaking lat
which the practical woman sometimes
makes fortune)-any Of the hundreds of
things for which their nimble and delicate
fingers, native wit and taste, quick percep-
tons and faithful perseverance, fit them, and
let them learn it as business thoroughly,
honorably, with the determination to be first
class workwonaen, and soon they will share
the pay as well as the work of men, And be-
heve me, our girl will be no less fitted to be a
good, loving wife and mother, If she sees fit
to marry; and she will not be driven into
thoughtless marriage to escape the drudgery
of earning the pittance which viii not sup
port her, nor Of making a sacrifice, which is
generally considered to be even more dis
graceful than that. Think OF this, you who
bemoan the thousands Of unhappy marriages
and the frequency Of divorce. And if she is
LETT, as SO many women are left, with chill
dren depending on her for support, she is in
10 worse condition than the widower who is
left with them to care for. Think of this,
you who may be widows
l will say here thai men have objected to
this idea, saying that If women are self sup
porting they will not care to marry. Surely,
reply, if man depends upon bis money
alone TO attract and keep, the time has ar-
rived when woman should compel him to
make himself worthy Of her love and her
possession.
There are many bright instances where
women have met and understood this con-
dition OF affairs, and have gone to work ike
men and made themselves valuable. They
have something which they can do better
than ether women and as well as q man And
an glad to say that my experience has been
that such women are admired, appreciated
ard valued As one old business man said TO
ne, If you warta faithful, trustworthy en-
pluye, have q woman who understands her
business Woman has every element Of
success In her; teach her TO bring il TO bear on
the sitUat.oR.-L- E Holman II The Century.

English Wives.

Divorces IN England are recorded as al
most disgraceful, no matter on which side is
the divorce. OF course here, as elsewhere,
the man is more readily forgiven than the
woman. Legal separation is tolerated, but
divorce is best for the freedom Of the woman
divorced, who may thus go about without
undue social surveillance. Legally separated,
she is forced to be nun like in her rigid ex
clusion from the gay outside world. An
English spinster, until she be well on in
years, has very little freedom socially.
The English wife is freer. Still she is very
submissive to her good lord as rule. But
in society's doings she is autocrat absolutely.
An Englshman may not drag tom, Dicl;
or Harry" home to dinner without an invita-
ton being given by his wife. Failing that,
he takes such friend or friends TO his club.
Business topics are never canvassed at Eng
lish dinners at home. 1t is bad form to dis
cuss mans business occupation Often the
nature Of it is unknown TO even intimate
friends.
An English woman counts the bearing Of
children Is her truest woraauly dignity.
Many children arc many blessings, from the
queen on the throne down to the hurnblest
tradesmans wife, O present from tho queen
being given to the mother OF triplets. To
suckle ones OWE children is obligatory. Vic
toria sucked hers. But Princess Beatrice
employs q wet nurse 10 take her natural
place. 'Alasi Even England Is becoming

The late committee on arrangements of
Beardsley camp, No. ID, s. v. has is
sued neat circular of explanation of the
committees position with reference to
the unwarranted conduct of Col Me-
Crillis in removing the sixth annual en,
campment from Rock Island to Moline
Tue circular is plain and concise state
ment of facts, free from prejudice and
convincing IN its tone. 1t is addressed
to the officers and brothers of the d yis>
ion of Illinois, and explains that the
fifth annual encampment held at Peoria
last year ordered that the next en-
campment be held at Rock Island and
that for the purpose of carrying
out this wish the camp appointed com
mttee of arrangements To manage the
affair The circular speaks of Col. Me-
Crillis' visit to Rock Island while arrange
ments were in progress and his request
that the encampment be located on Syl.
van island. the committees locating il
there in honor and courtesy to his
wishes, and the change to Davenp0rts
field in view of the remnnstrance against
Sylvan island by the merchants of this
city, who claimed. and rightly, too, that
the island was in the corporate limits of
Moline aud not Rock Island The circular
speaks of Col McCrills unfair action
in unCeremoniOusly changing the locA-
ton of the encampment, and alludes to
McCrillis' statement while in Rock Isl
and that he wanted the encampment on
the island so that he could hold the boys
when he got them there; that at Peoria
they disgraCed their uniforms and
brought the order into disrepute by loose
and disgraceful conduct and that he
didn't propose to have repetition of
such conduct, which would inevitably be
put upon an island where they could be |
kept out of such business. 1t is doubt |
'ul if the order of Sons of Veterans of |
Illinois will appreciate the nature of their |
opinion of them.
