The Ladies' Home Journal contains
letters from q number Of prominent wo-
men In answer to the question: Which
Is the happiest hour in woman's hfei
Frances Willard says the happiest hour
in her life was that in which she was
least conscious of herself and most up
lifted into holy thoughts and purposes,
which Is beautiful answer. The hap
piest hour In Jennie June's life was the
hour when she paid off a $4,000 mort
gage that it had taken ten years to hqui-
date. Rose Terry Cooke, who breaches
that woman ought to obey her hus-
band, believes that the happiest hour Of
q womsn's life is the hour of her death.
Rose oughtto think that way. Anybody
who believes such horrid doctrine as
she pretends to could not well think
otherwise. The idea Of ''obeying" a
man! Mrs. Frank Leslie declares the
happtest hour Of wonan's life is when
she is dressing to meet her lover after
long absence. But they are all wrong.
The happiest hour Of a womsn's life is
when she is asleep.
There is no good reason why a woman
should not earn her ovn living in paying
employments unless she 10 the mother of
little children that demand her care.
On general principles why should men
support women? just as long as they
do, just that long viii women be depend
ent on them.
When women have pecunisry indie
pendence all gates will open to them of
their own accord. The way to get Pc
cuniary independence is to go in for it
and get it.
From the remarks of certain ladies on
the subjectof womenis bathing costumes
and ball and dinner dresses we are to
conclude that the Creator did most i'm
proper thing when he made the human
body, that magnificent and beautiful
statue of pink tinted flesh. Women are
not bit more immodest from wearing
q bathing dress which wilh allow them
to use the muscles freely in swimming.
There is a very old and noble saying,
and it is this: "Evn TO him who evil
thinks" 1t ought, however, to read as
follows: evil is in the heart of him who
evil thinks"
For four years Miss Cora L. Outcalt
has been official stenegrapher of the
supreme court of Nebraska, that grand
young state which has grown so won
derfully since the last census. When
this energetic girl was only IS years old
she was enrolling clerk of the Nebraska
house Of representatives, and flied her
Office to the satisfaction of all, The
Nebraska State Journal says. With her
savings in this place ste went to St.
Louis and took the course in stenog-
raphy. She found work at her chosen
occupation immediately. Since receiv-
ing the appointment Of clerk of the
supreme court she has begun the study
of law, looking ahead to still further
honors and emoluments. 1t will thus
be seen that since she was IS this girl
has been engaged in steady and arduous
labors, yet we have no record that her
health broke down once under the strain.
Girls health does not break down any
more from work or study, as the old fogy
doctors declared 1t would under the
strain of higher education and general
employment for the sex. And>they pro-
fessed the greatest sohcitude for the per-
petuation of the race, these blessed doc
tors. Well, the race isn't dying out
much as yet,
The way to look young is to preserve
the child nature and not let the griefs
and disappointments of life make any
lasting impression of gloom upon you.
The child breaks its heart over broken
toy, but forgets aH about it next morn
ing. All our Eriefs are as broken toys.
The youngest looking woman for her age
that know said to me: Il do have the
blues somstimes. cry my eyes out all
afternoon, and then get upand go to the
theatre and have g. deVesy Tune In the
evening"" All this is,sound philosophy,
except the crying part. Don't de- that.
It is babyish. and hurts the complexion
and eyes terribly.
In the counting and handling of money
In the treasury department at Washing
ton men are nowhere compared with
women in the mater of sPeed or the de-
lection of oouRterfsts money.
Senator Blair, thereat introducer, has
reported to the UEiSs3 States senate in
behalf Of the majority members of the
conmitteson woman suffrage in favor Of
a constitutional amendment giving to
women ths night to vote. The report says
Prejudice and custom have denied 10
woman the suffrage, but it is impossible
10 give reason for the exercise of saf-
frags by man which does not apply with
equal or greater force in favor Of woman
suffrage"
