womAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS

IeT naLne was Nate SnrlSnauSen. ana
she was walking along the street with a
little satchel in her hand. The rest of 1t
vas that Miss Chrishausen was cashier
for a business house and that the satchol
contained several hundred dollars that
she was On her way to deposit in the
bank. Though she held such a RESPONSE
bic place, Miss Kate was only eventeen.
A thief who had watched her leave the
Office followed her. Nothing would be
easier than to snatch the satchel from her
slim girl hand and run with it. So he
snatched. But Kate had a stronger grip
than he bargained for. and she was fully
conscious every moment of the value OF
what she carried. She held on all the
harder to the bag and screamed. The
fellow rubbed her knuckles just as the
boys do when they want to make one OF
their mates let go of anything, but even
that failed. Then he tried to push hel
over with no better success, the girl
screaming bloody murder all the while.
Then the thief suddenly concluded it
was about time for him to SNEAK" and
started to run. But by that time a brave
and chivalrous milkman had beer draw
to the spot. He jumped from his cart,
grabbed the thief and held him till the
police came and took him. He was a
regular old timer. Thank heaven wom-
en- are beginning to learn athletics, /
glory in that girl.
The new Episcopal bishop, Phillips
Brooks, is grandiy liberal on the woman
question and goes in for woman suffrage.
But does he still put that barbarous old
word ''obey" into the service when ht
joins n couple in holy matrimony?
A statistician Of society matters finds
that women enjoy dancing, while men
do not. In England there are twenty,
five women who dance to one man who
does so. The experts ought now to find
some popularity in the anatomical
structure of the sexes toaccount for this.
Mrs. Ida Bacon, n court stenographer
in Cincinnati, has been assigned to a
most important duty. She has been APP
pointed master and referee in the case
against the Mutual Fire Insurance com
pany of that city. She received this ap
pointment from the supreme court, by
which she was instructed to take testi.

why it should not be dissolved. Lit

The young women who take the severe
four years course at the English uni
versities have exceptionally good health
throughout.
When Miss Jordan sought to enter the
law school at Yale college the trustees
found there WAS no bylaw of the institu-
tion to prevent it. so they let her in be-
cause they could not help it. She grad
uated with her class. But just rs quick
as they could the Yale corporation made
a bylaw that no member of the forbid
den sex should ever again get in there
by hook or crook, and 50 the law stands.
The young ladies, Of course, can go else
where for a university education, but
this is very tough on Yale.
Some things that rave happened under
my observation lately prompt me to ask,
Do piety and corsets go together?
Listen to what Rev. Anna Shaw says
about the last Methodist general confer
ence: Several hundred men spent FIVE
days in putting five women out "a woman
q day, you see) and decided to keep the
women quiet by establishing al order of
deaconesses, in which women might
work for nothing and board themselves;
and then, leaving for the time all great
matters of church and doctrine, this
body of men spent a day in devising a
dress for the deaconesses to wear"
Twenty-Five of the Kansas ewspapers
are edited by women, and the Chicago
Tribune thinks that is what is the mat
ter with Kansas.
Bishop Coke thinks it is really dread
full that women should ride bicycles, and
compares them to a witch on u broom
stick. But If the good bishop should
happen to see some of the hundreds of
stenographers, typewriter girls and
clerks of Washington and Brooklyn,
young women who toll at desks all day,
out for a spin on the fascinating wheel,
their eyes bright, their cheeks softly
pink with the exercise, their lungs and
limbs growing stronger and fuller every
day, their whole bodies more ready to
resist disease and weakness, he would
never say a word against bicycle riding
for women again. Any exercise, nc
matter what it is, that draws women
outdoors and keeps them there several
hours a day ought to be welcomed by
everybody, ministers included. If min.
listers will do their focks and their coun-
try real good, let them encourage by
every means at their command girls and
women to take outdoor exercise.
An estate of So, 900 in England is left
to Mrs. Laura Fulton, of Atchison,
Kan. on condition that she marry some
good man and live with him IA year.
But Mrs. Fulton says that she will not
marry even to get the fortune. What
an experience she must have had? Most
women, even widows, are willing
enough to marry without any fortune at
all. II, however, the present feeling
against marriage continues to increase
among women. the time will come
when it will require all manner OF
brides to induce them to enter the mar.
ried state.
In France women are everywhere EN-
ployed as ticket agents at railway sta

Some woman, giving advice to girls
says, when you marry don't, unde,
any but the most exceptional circum
stances, consent to work for money.
Wouldn't it be a good plan to let then
