organized Woman's Press club:7 Mrs.
Sangster was asked, IL having been noted
that she was down as member.
Nothing" she replied. Except that
it is mistake that 1 belong to it. Per
sonallv, l am not addicted TO clubs;
large ones, especially. do not attract me,
and this is in no spirit of criticism. l
am a member of only one club, a very
small one, which exists more as a circle
of congenial companions than as an or
ganization.
Something Of the future of woman's
pursuit of a journalistic calling? con-
tinued Mrs. Sangster; Il am disinclined
to think that she viii ever supersede
men in any very perceptible degree.
Women have published as well as edited
newspapers and periodicals, but in such
exceptional and rarely recurring in
stances as TO rather point the assertion
that women cannot compete with men
in this particular than TO serve as a
precedent. Her executive ability is suf-
icient-I think the average woman has
more of that than the average man-but
she has not the inherent business in
stincts and natural business habits that
generations of systematic workers have
developed in her brother laborer.
ITO succeed in the journalism for
which she is best fitted by nature
woman needs a broad education. She
must know literature as well as life.
Some skill in the grand old tongues
which men call dead is very helpful
thing, and living language or two be-
sides her own will not come amiss.
THE woman journalist must be sys-
tematic, though she cannot be the slave of
system. She must grasp details, make
quick decisions. and learn how to say no,
in every possible infection. She must
be quiet hammered and self controlled,
not losing her temper when things go
wrong. Considera8 of others, she will
receive consideration from her asso-
ciates, and will exact 10 defer
ence which she is not willing TO
give. She will put heart and conscience
in her work and be thorough, leaving no
loose ends. She will welcome criticism,
but hold to her own Judgment if this be
needful
"She will feel, if she be born journal
island journalists. like poets, are born,
not made-the pulse Of her public opin-
ion. She will seize by intuition the topics
which are vital, but all the while through
the tumult and turmoil of the hour she
will hear the far off booming of the bells
of eternity and realize that her work is
not for today nor tomorrow only, but
forever.
I'm brief, the qualities which inhere in
good housekeeping come to the front in
good editing, and the journalist will look
on her paper as the careful maJron at her
home-her kingdom to administer, her
province to rule. her sphere to ill"

sure to do well out of it, and we also get
better notices in the paper.
Patti is not looking so well this season
as she did when my father took me to see
her in the prime of her life. Though
getting quite plain, it costs as much to
see her as ever it did. Her voice has
metallic, or rather bi-metallic, ring to it
nowadays, and she misses it by not work

Italian gags.

In her coy nook in the very heart of
the great Harper establishment, sur
rounded by the whir of bookmaking
machinery, the noise of which penetrates
but does not seem to permeate the quiet
of her sanctum, sits daily at her editorial
desk Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster. long
identified with the success of Hearth
and Home, popular magazine a dozen
years ago; still the loving and beloved
postmistress of Young People, and now,
in addition, the controlling mind Of that
world famous periodical Harper's Bazaar.
Her personality, physical and mental, is
well known. Modest as she is. Mrs. Sang

strength and sweetness of her character
from showing far outside the circle

her admirers are the thousands who read
her writings, her friends the public

An OPPORTUNITY OCCURRED.
The past week has been one of great
personal interest, although it has had
little effect on public affairs. | have
been visiting my old haunts in Colorado
and Wyoming, after about seven years
of absence. l have also been in Utah,
where spring has come in the rich valley
of the Jordan and the glossy blackbird,
with wing OF fame, scoots gayIy from
bOUgh to bough, deity declaring his af-
feCtions right and left and acquiring
more wives than he can support, then
clearing his record by claiming to have
bad a revelation which made all right.
One cannot shut his eyes to the fact
that there is great real estate activity
this spring in the west. 1t has taken the
place Of mining and stock, judge, and
everywhere you hear and see men with
their heads together plotting against the
poor rich man. Yesterday in Salt Lake

In early days in Denver Henry c.
Brown, then in the full flush and vigor
Of manhood, had some talk with the
agent of the Atchison stage line for

men weep. Atchison is at present so
dead that a good cowboy, with an able
mule, could tie to its tail and, putting
his spurs to the mule, jerk loose the en-
tire pelt at any time, while Browns addi-
ton to Denver is worth anywhere from
one and half to two millions of dollars.
When Mr.. Brown weeps'now it is be-
cause his victuals are too rich and give
him the govt. He sold prairie dogs
enough to fence the land in 50 that it
could not blow into Cherry Creek vale, /
and then he set to work earnestly to
wait for the property to advance. Find f.

any price, he, with great foresight, con-
