Do YOU know that for S350-S40o any
how-you may take a comfortable trip
to EUROPE / said over half a dozen years
ago that il was worth skimping and saw

for a couple Of months, and / stick to It.
The small sum named will take a woman
TO Paris and London and through the
Scotch highlands. The journey across
the sea and ia the cool, moist air OF
western Europe viii wash the malaria
out Of the American physical system,
rest the tired nerves, make You sleep Ike
a baby and eat-well, try it. Besides
Won viii get new ideas enough IS last
Won a wear at least. Teachers, type
writers, newspaper women, business
women, tired brain and hand workers
need this life giving tour, and all may
take it with a little management. Some
Boston ladies' have formed the Womenss
English Rest Tour association. for the
express purpose Of telling women who
do not already know it how they
may enjoy the trip to Europe.
These ladies have themselves Travelled in
Europe and know the right way for q
woman alone to 90 about it. The
pamphlet contains, l am told: "Adyics
OF all sorts that is likely to be useful to
that class Of travellers which it desires to
benefit. giving rates on all steamship
lines, hints as to travelling, fees, ways
and manners abroad, estimates Of ex-

it is safe and proper for a woman to go,
and where she win find cleanliness and

pay ut the large hotels. By presenting
to the association suitable letters Of in
PRODUCTION, women desiring to find COM
panions for the trip, or the voyage, may
become known to one another" That
the Boston Women's Educational and
Industrial union heartily indorses the
Women's English Rest Tour association
is recommendation sufficient for it and
its purposes. So, ladies, take the sea
voyage, if not this summer, then next,
or the 4 after.

Of view woman's worst fault is want Of

siderable money through the apparent
inability Of her sax to understand that
when a certain date was named next day

Ladies, let me call your attention to
il. The baccarat scandal, which may
result ultimately in the downfall Of tha
British monarchy, was proclaimed tothe
world through a woman.
Why will graduating girls persist in
wearing gloves at their commandments,
tight gloves that make their arms and
fingers stiff as sticks, when their own
slim, pretty hands are infinitely more
graceful and artistic?
When Decoration Day was first estab-
lished in this country nobody would have
thought a roman could give the address
at the meetings commemorative Of the
occasion. But on May 80 a woman de-
liyered the Decoration Day address at
no less imposing a place than fremont
Temple, Boston. To be sure, it was Mrs.
Liyermore who was thus chosen, but
then Mrs. LiyermOre IL a woman all the
same. She also delivered the annual
address to the Chautauqua graduating
class this year. When, in the old time,
was a woman thought good enough to
make an address to q graduating class:
The technical high school Of the Pratt
institute in Brooklyn this year graduated
for the first time a young lady who had
passed through its course Of study.
The high school combines manual train
ing with book study, and was the out

lady, Belle Spelman, had learned to use
her hands in wood carving and other
remunerative occupations. It's a pleas

honors Of the evening, this strong, en-
thusiastic girl, who for three years had
bravely recited side by side with the
boys and learned the same lessons they
did. Her graduating essay was on "Wo-
man as a Factor in Industry" and was
an eloquent plea for a woman's right
to make the most of her abilities. The
only aroma Of the past that still clung
about Miss Spelman's graduation was
that she held her essay in her hand and
pretended to read it, instead Of looking
at her audience face to face and speak
ing the words bravely, using her hands
to emphasize them as the boys did. 1t
was all a sham her pretending to read as
one could see, and she merely glanced at
