1t was in somewhat representative
group of literary and business women q
few days ago that I chanced to hear q
ventnresome individual urging the pro.
prIcty OF the modest, lower case
letter. She set forth i'll substance tha!

rule by which the doin0s OF men are reck-
oned and another and very much more gen
erous but less honest yarcstIck by which TO
measure wOmen's successes 80 to get by
special allowance n coed showing.
This woman who led go rash an assault on
woman maintained that the first business
successes of her sex were entitled 10 .adi-
ant nslO Of frstness, and that the second
successes should have an even brighter glow
OF secondness, rs showing that their predc-
eessors were not accidents. but that the
doZeDtb success should content itself with a
plain circle OF light and the hundredth sue
cess get along without any decoration. In
other words, that in many departments of
business women had become as usual Office
fixtures as the average Office stool. and
should not any longer pose as pro6iaies. or

They would praise WOMAN and ret her

enough, and yet.
Why Women Are Not Worth Mems Wages.
Some points that wore given me this
morning by the president Of the second
largest Young Women's Christian associa-
tion in the country are worth considering.
Several thousand working women are con.

of the Womsn's National Indian associa-
ton, who 10 one of the most effective speak
eTs Of her sex now on the platform. She is
wholly occupied with ths duties of her
position. which require her to 30 from
place to place organizing local societies
which take upon Themselves the support of
Indian children at Hampton institute and
Carlisle. and the fnrtherance OF ciyiIizing
efforts in behalf Of tho tribes. These socie-
ties have now spread themselves in such a
network over the country that tie wife of a
prominent congressman told me few weeks
ago that on one occasion when an Indian
bill was pending she. az her husbands
secretary, opened and sorted in single
morning over two hundred letters which
came to him from women in all parts Of the
country AZ the contents Of ore mail.
In private conversation Mrs. Quintan does
not hesitate to sny that one Of the great
difficulties encountered By the women who
are giving 80 much of their time and energy
TO work for the wards OF the government in
the impossibiIity of afording protection to
the Indian girls who are educated in the
east after they return to the tribes. Indian
girls who have been shielded by the safe
guards to which white women are accus-
TONED have strong attraction, not go much
for Indian men, but more particularly for
tho squaw mer. the whites and halfbreeds
who have married Indian women.
Mrs. Quintan has Travelled mncb. espec-
ally among the northwestern tribes, and
She tells stories mt which cold types would
shudder of the msddened shricks her ears
have heard from Indian girls in the bushes,
pleading for mercy, and Of the wsetche2-
ness and shame of girls whose education
has taught them 10 look with horror on
things which are more or less matters of
course to those who have never left the
tepees. Such forced degradation accounts
for many relapse to blankets nnd barbar-
ism, and yet there is another side which is
bright with pictures of family devotion.

Where the Watch is Worn.

What do you suppose we are doing
with our watches! Keeping them warm at
our throats, to be sure. If you desire to be
in quite the latest fashion you must tuck
your time-keeper tenderly up in the warmth
of your neck, just inside the high collar Of
your frock. and let the short chain and
pendant hang over. brooch fashion. It's
not a very convenient restiD9-plsce, but =
number Of people of high position have set
the example and we follow most obed;ently.

EXCHANGE REVIEW.


NEW YORK. May 20.-The dominant factor in
Wall street is still the exports of gold. Today
the purchases for foreign account were an infiu-
ential factor in keeping prices up, though the
trading element was still bearish. The strong
est stocks were Louisville, Missouri Pacific,
grangers and specialtles, the strength in Mis-
souri, Pacific being interpreted as indicating
that Gould was again in the market as buyer.
The upward movement met with no setback.
and ceased only with the close of business, when
everything traded in was at the highest prices
of the day.
Government bonds dull and weak.
