self and friend in the heart of the city,
opposite a well known restaurant. We
entered, following the crowd. At the
door we were stopped. Ladies' are
not allowed in here.g said n waiter.
This is n business mans restaurant.
There is n ladies' dining room up stairs"
Up stairs we went. We took in the sit
nation at a glance gaudy, swallow
tailed waiter feeling business, waiting
half an hour for the least order, with a
grinning monkey at your elbow, listen
ing to all you say, remarking audibly
unless You get agorgeous dinner, rolling
up the whites of his eyes and sneering in
your face unless you give him a fee
which is enough to buy your whole din
ner elsewhere. 1 am so sick of that kind
of thing that the English language can
not express my feelings. We looked
witheringly at the dread presence that
came forward to smirk us into a
seat. is this the only place where
business women can go for n baked

smirker said it was. "And | suppose

second largest city of the union could do
for business women; charge them three
times as much as a man is charged for
the same thing, when women as a rule
do not even get the third of the wages
paid to men, and expect them to fee the
walters besides. 1t is not the square
thing at all, and the same conditions are
to be observed in all cities. Business

comes to the noon hour. If some shrewd,
capable women, clean, dainty and good
cooks, would open moderate priced little
restaurants in the busy portion of the
large cities and have it understood that
business women were especially to be
accommodated there, l believe they
would be q great success. AT the same
time the opposite sex need not be dis
eliminated against simply because they
are men
Earrings and pierced ears are going

In Chicago men teachers have almost
disappeared from the public schools ex-
cept as principals, and the women are

reached the place of assistant superin-
tendent and get a salary of 50. 900.
The trade in cut flowers for the cities
is becoming larger and larger every
year, and the demand is happily one
that will never go out of fashion. Wom-
en- are very successful as florists, and if
they would turn their attention with
zeal and sense to the business many of
them would amass wealth in the course
of years. The work is beautiful and
healthful. A young woman florist in
San Diego IS doing n thriving business
both in the wholesale and retail trade.
while two others in another part of Cali
fornia are making n good living cult
waiting roses alone.
One of the noblest women ever born,
to bless md help her own sex was the
h'o HgNhd 1fthCIs Ol LuBlunu. Sle
was a member of the Manchester school
board, and there worked especially for
the industrial education of girls. She
believed that if the daughters of the poor
could be made accomplished cooks and
housekeepers, knowing how to sew and
make the most and the best of what they
had, it would go a long way toward
a-meliorating the condition of all. She
arranged for instruction to evening
classes in sewing, cooking, nursing and
laundering during the present year..

general conference itself has done for
the past twelve years, | wonder, and
administer a slap in the face and drive
down and out its most faithful and self
sacrificing workers again? And if so, L
wonder if the women will still stand it
and remain in the church, and like pa
tent beasts of burden work all the hard
er for being kicked and cuffed?
luese women VINO know something

Do we hatter ourselves that slavery has
ceased to exist among civilized nations?
There is a labor slavery in all the coun-
tries of civilization still that is as bad as
