woman and Social Evolution

We can notice everywhere that man
has taken the lead, on the whole, in
the process of social evolution, but
that sooner or later woman has fol-
lowed in each step. Thus woman
can now 60 about the streets with q
freedom which an unarmed man did
not always enjoy. 1t is not three
hundred years since the toilets of
men implied as much elaboration, as
much expense and as much time as
did those of women at the same period,
and far more than the toilets even
of refined women now consume. Men
have reduced all that magnificencet TO
simple working costume, varied by
an evening dress of plain black, and
the great mass of women now tend in
the same direction. Even the daugh-
ter of luxury lays aside splendor for
her tennis dress.
Women are no longer expected to
be wholly absorbed in their home
duties any more than they are ex.
pected TO go yelled in the street. In.

duties have been taken from them
they are not expected to do any more

and the time which that once cost, il

Current Comment.

The great success which has attended
the organization known as the Kings
Daughters is one of the most con-
vincing proofs that could be given
that woman has a sphere and that she
can fill it. In California the circles
have bound themselves together to
found a home for incurables and an
entertainment which they gave in San
Francisco the last week in January
was one of the grand successes of the
season. They represented scenes from
the Arabian Nights" in the. large
Odd Fellows Hall and gave "a better
entertainment than many troupe of
professionals could have done, and
..made.much money. The home for
incurables is sadly needed. The city
and county hospitals are only for cases
that may be cured, and when needy
patient is pronounced incurable in
most of the county hospitals of Cal
ifornia he is straightway bundled of
to the almshouse to die.

Obituary.

Died, on the 2lst of February, 1891, at Lu-
ray, Va, Leila May Bouic, second daughter
Of John p. and Susan K. Bouic, after pro-
lracted illness, in the 18th year of her age
Deceased was n native of Montgomery coun-
ty, and lived with her parents near Martins
burg until last autumn, when they removed
with their family of three daughters to the
town of Luray, to afford them the 0pportun-
ty OF acquiring thorough education beit-
ting females, al the Luray Female Seminary
She was first attacked with pneumonia in
a severe form, and suffered under it, extreme
ly i'll and apparently oscillating between lie
and death three weeks, when she began to
improve till she appeared past all danger
Then she was attacked with malignant sore
throat, which rapidly ran into gan creme, Of
which she died. Her remains were brought
back TO Maryland AMI inferred in the ceme-
terry at Beallsvile.
She was great sufferer IN her illness, but
she bore her sutferings with patience and
fortitude that ELECTED admiration and praise
from her attendant physician.
She was child OF u mild, gentle and atfeo :
tionate disposition, and she had won the af-
fectons OF all her teachers in the college.
She was conscious TO the last moment, and
met death without fear and with a conf
dent hope Of blissful eternity.
Thou art gone to thy rest,
(Our sweet, our dear little May,)
In the beautiful Ia nd of the blest,
Where we hope we shall meet thee in
eternty's day.
