THE WOMAN LAWYER.
Her Varied Experiences In tho Law
School and the Court Room.


School and the Court Room.
A woman student Of the law, whether
in an Office or law school, has some
peculiar experiences. To single wom-
an among class of Ihen, the dilemma
of the lecturers as Ia lifting mode OF
address is amusing. Most of them will
gaze anxiously around, and, fixing the
eye upon the lone female, with slight
bow will open the discourse with the
word Gentlemen" One professor was
always careful and courteous enough to
begin with the phrase: Lady and
gentlemen
1t is also amusing and gratifying to
see the refining effect Of the lady's en-
trance into the lecture hall or library
of the school. If the upraised mascu-
line feet do not at once and voluntarily
come down from the table top or back
of the next chair, they are assisted to
their rightful place on the floor by the
hands of some fellow student. Oh
course there are always some men who
heartily disapprove of woman's pres.
ence~within the walls of the law school,
and are pleased to show their disap'
proval in any way short of actually
rude conduct / have never known OF
systematically rude behavior toward
woman law student.
When the woman lawyer puts out
her shingle, or in modern fashion in
scribes her name on the marble tablets
at the entrance of her building, her
first experiences do not differ much
from those of her brothers who are just
beginning. Perhaps she has few
more "cranks' among her first clients,
who go to her because they 'think
they will get more sympathy from
woman" When sooner or later they
have to be shown the door, their re-
proaches for her inhuman hard-heart-
edness are particularly severe, because
they expected letter things from
woman"
Her clients are not, as many suppose,
chiefly women On the contrary she is
more likely to be employed by men,
who want to give her chance to show
what she can do. Therefore her cases
are as likely to be questions of busi-
ness contracts as controversies that are
connected with matters popularly sup
posed to be within woman's sphere.
When she appears in court the wom-
an attorney finds the judges and at
tending counsel as courteous and as
defcrential as they would be in her
drawing room. They will treat her as
an equal, except that they will assist
her by placing chairs, handing books
and papers, and doing more favors for
her than for her male ct.leagues. In
fact they treat her very much as they
would treat the distinguished legal
lights of the age if they were within
the bar, that is, with deferential
courtesy. This of course is only the
case when the woman lawyer behaves
as lady. If she assumes a defiant
and bullying manner, as if to demand
special recognition, she will receive the
treatment she deserves. But such con-
duct is, l am happy to say, extremely
rare among our women at the bar, and
is much lamented by others who are in
public opinion weighed in the same
balance with such misguided persons.

A society of women piano-tuners has
already been started in London, and
this calls attention to the value of this
employment for women. Providing
women have deftness of touch and del
icacy of ear, there is no reason why
they should not do this work, unless
there may be difficulty in obtaining
proper instruction. The greatest OBJ
stacle that might exist is the possible
existence of guild whose rules would
exclude women. The work is light, con-
genial, in every way as desirable as
that of music. teacher, and, so far as it
goes, quite as remunerative. Y.

THE MAlpEn's CHOICE,


TWO youths once lived in a country town
And one was giant fair
WIN Saxon vikings golden crown
AND blacRsmith's muscles smooth ana brow,
when he made his right arm bare.
The other youth was OF dapper size.
so slender and short was he
yhat he found small favor In maidens' evcs
And the giant boasted In merry wise:
u could lay him across my knee"
These twain both courtcd the village belle
but short was tho raco they run; f
Al the giants feet the maidenfoll SCI
AND the little man. though ho pleaded we'll.
Naught more than her pity won,
They marched away 10 the wars one day,
In haste for the battles van,
AND the people checred when the giant gay
s'rode stoutly past for tho distant fray
And they smiled at the little man.
But the earliest ball by focman spod-
One drop from the war-b.ack skies
Passed safely over the pigmy's head
And the giant, who stood behind, fell dead
With bullet between his eyos
Then the little man swore, though his sigh
was dim,
And the whole great army followed him
Till he leapt like devil 1.-THE and slim
First man DER the battery wall.
And he planted the flag Of his country there
While the routed enemy ran,
And the legions roared, as 1t floated fair
On the dusly waves OF sulphurous air;
Three cheers for the little mani" n
oh, do not know, and cannot say,
What the giant might have done,
But I'm sure the maiden will weep alway
For her lover shot in the first OF tho fray,
And dead ere his fame was won.
For war is n field OF chance, you know i'H
Let him dodge the bullets who can;
But love is o garden where fancies blow
And the form Of giant makes larger show
Than the soul OF little mani

to his mouth.
"Does he keep cigar store?"
"Not that know Of"

Duly brushed dash of billiard chalk
off his clothes and said nothing.
''Or does he run a spice-mill?"
"Be still, can't you, Maria?" said
Duly, in desperation. ''The curtain is

But he didn't leave her again during

in the small boy after he has been

He suddenly becomes sensitive to
wearing old clothes. Instead of fight

himself often and nearly destroys the

glass. He must have a clean collar
every day and have on his best neck
tie. He becomes quiet and oh, SO
good about the house. He never is
late to school and always knows his
lessons.
And he becomes furious whenever a
mention is made of the little sweet.

affections. ~

HIS Personal Experience,

tauqua County, New York, writes
81 am glad to say, from a long persona
experience with Allcock's Porours Plas
ters, that | am able to indorse all the
good things that have ever been said
about them, and supplement these by
saying that frankly believe their value
cannot be estimated. Their breadth OF
usefulness is unlimited, and for promp pt
and sure relief to almost every ache and
pain that flesh is heir to, no other re-
medy, in my opinion, either external or
internal, equals them in certainty and
rapidity. l have used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result-a speedy cure"
