Women Lawyers Have Come to Stay.
The illustrated American says of
women lawyers: THE novelty of the
situation is wearing off; the prejudice
in the common mind against the woman
lawyer is disappearing, the law depart
ments in the colleges and universities
are opening to her; there has come de-
mand for her services in every substan-
tial legal firm, and the woman herself
has learned that the profession is not
only possible and practicable, but ele-
waiting and remunerative. To draft the
will or take the acknowledgment or
ante-mortem examination of the dying
woman, her presence is especially well
come. In drafting the details of bills of
sale, taking an inventory of household
goods, reading the records Of real es-
tate, drafting and recording deeds, she
is also skillful."

Certain preachers and editors recog-

married and mothers of families. Mat
rimony and motherhood, they hold, con-
stitute the only career for women; wives
and mothers are the only ones among
the sex whose existence is to be recog-
nized And yet, in point of number and
ability, the unmarried women seem en-
titled to some consideration.
