The fashion of matching the bonnet
with the gown, while still in great
vogue, is not so obligatory as formerly.
The bonnet should, however, always be
consistent with the costume and the &C.
casion, but every day gives proof that it
is not.

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS.
She Is Taking a Prominent Place Every
where in the World.

tHt w OTius
1t is favorite argument with scores
of women who have known better days
that they can not afford to work. With
less than enough on which to keep up
the old show, they preserve a pitiful
semblance of their past grandeur, deny
ing themselves in thousand little ways
in order that they may deceive the pub
lie and their friends. In some of the
modern teachers they have read that
work in a gentlewoman is degrading.
If we examine the class of persons
who believe that women should not
work. we will find them men of over
weening pride or women of egregious
vanity mainly. Not one of them can
advance single legitimate argument
for their cause, and not few of them
admit that it is foolish one at the
start.
A great deal has been said about the
dignity of independence, the result
usually of self-reliant work, and much
of it has been what critics call rot. But
for all that we can not escape the con-
clusion that work, either of the hands
or mind, is an excellent thing, ennObling
rather than degrading, instructive rather
than narrowing. 1t quickens the wit,
widens the thought, extends the intel
lectual and physical vision, and, unless
it becomes a mania, brings good results
to all concerned. No one is better off
for having nothing to do, and the won
der is that any one should fancy the
contrary. 1t is said that a woman loses
caste" if she does not keep. her hands
,rrba
In country as young and democratic
as this, there is no such thing as caste.
The lady is the woman who is at once
refined and modest, and, begging your
pardon, whose first thought is not of
herself. The gentleman Is the man who
is gentlemanly. with all that the word
entails Good family is a gracious thing,
but it is being put to sorry uses when
turned against the woman who works.
Laying all sentiment aside, it is better
to be out of debt than to trade on
buried ancestry.
The most conclusive conn entary on
this question comes in the shape of
woman who does work. We find her
everywhere, not only in the country,
where her ancestors established her
right to freedom, but even among the
so-called nobility of Europe. Old Gus
toms devoid of understanding are yield
ing to the advance of intelligence, and
the world is better off for their going.
The woman who works profits by their
decay. She loses neither sweetness nor
dignity by reason of her employment
The nobility of her character is only
rounded by her work, and whatever her
occupation she has at least the satisfac-
tion of performing her duty always
the surest test of human work that has
yet been invented or found. Miners
