A Regular Allowance.

One method would be the granting to
the wife of stated weekly or monthly al
lowance, for the household and other uses,
in proportion to the income of the hus-
band. To the man who says, But can
not pay my wife like servant" the answer
must be, Certainly not" She is partner,
and as such is entitled to share in the
dividends. To the end that she may make
the best use of such moneys she should
know what she is to expect each week
Undoubtedly the ideal remedy is perfect
trust, confidence and a higher moral de-
velopment for both men and women, but
while mankind is moving steadily on to
this the weaker must not be always going
to the wall for the lack of a protecting
hand.
No woman ought to marry without hav-
ing some understanding with her future
husband on this point. She need not take
pencil and paper and make him set down
the exact figures of her weekly allowance
but should let him thoroughly understand
that she expects one. Any young girl
should beware Of the man who considers
women irresponsible creatures; for, no
matter how tender and considerate the
master may be, no enlightened human be-
ing is happy as a slave.-Alice E. Ives in
Forum.

Women as Physicians.

| lido not hesitate to say, with due defer
ence to the Judgment of others. that in my
| opinionft is important to the well being of
society that the study of medicine by
| Christian women should be continued and
extended. The prejudice that allows wom-
en- to enter the profession of nursing and
excludes them from the profession of medi-
cine cannot be too strongly censured, and
its existence can be explained only by the
| force of habit.
1t has been urged that women do not az
rule possess the intellectual powers of
men, but their ability to pursue the usual
medical studies has been sufficiently dem
onstrated, and it is admitted, even by those
who concede to men higher order of in
tellect and greater powers of ratiocination,
| that what women may lack in that direc-
ton seems to be supplied by that logical
| instinct with which they have been en-
female nurses may with propriety attend
men as well as women, that privilege cam
| not reasonably be withheld from the fe-
male physician. Indeed the position of the
nurse might be regarded as open to much
graver objections, inasmuch as the physi-
clan makes but transient visit to the

The attendance of female physicians
upon women is often of incalculable be- -
fl Much serious and continued suffer
ing is undergone by women, and many be-
ginnings of grave illness are neglected be-
cause of the sense of delicacy which pre-
vents them from submitting to the pro-
fessional services of men. There is also an
infinite number of cases, known to all who
have been concerned in charitable or re-
formatory work, in which no influence or
assistance can be SO effectual as that of
physician who is also a woman and
Christian.
The alienation of suffering for women
of all classes which would result from the
presence among us Of an adequate num-
Der of well trained female physicians can
not but be evident to all; but wish to
emphasize as strongly as possible the moral
influence of such a body, than which there
could be no more potent factor in the moral
regeneration of society. - Cardinal Glib

its name implies, is an Opaque white soup,

Mrs. Jerome's Sideboard,

Jerome's wife has wanted sideboard
for some time, and keeping in mind the en-
couraging motto of "all things come to
him that waits" she nas waited and wait
ed, and as her faith in this good old saying
has been much weakened by this waiting
she finally decided to accept a substitute,
and went to furniture factory and bought
the lower part of soft wood bureau in the
white. 1t had three drawers. The top one
she had divided la the regulation side
boards and lined with canton flannel. Six
antique brass draw pulls were purchased,
and can of prepared stain, which trans
formed the plebeian soft wood bureau into
an antique oak sideboard.
Over this she put one Of the hanging
booksnelves which can be bought anywhere
for from fifty to seventy five cents. 1t
fastened with hooks to the wall, so was
perfectly secure. This was finished with
the same stain. Small brass hooks were
put in front of one shelf to hang her pretty
after dinner coffee cups on, and filled the
shelves with odd and pretty things in
china One of her drawn work linen covers
was laid on the top of the bureau, and
when her wedding gifts of silver and glass
were arranged on this you would never
stop to think that this was common brl-
reau masquerading as a Louis XVI side
board.-Good Housekeeping.

BROOKLYN Women,

Brooklyn is, in a quiet way, the center of
pretty strong movement looking to the
emancipation Of women from various So
cial conventions, vet hardly leading up to
the ambitions of the so called strong mind
ed women. The Seidl society, whose i'm
mediate object is the intelligent study and
enjoyment of music, is extremely strong
in Brooklyn, and one of its incidental out
growths is marked sentiment against
the convention that forbids young women
to attend public entertainments at night
without male escorts.
Il is not generally known that the Pratt
institute, Of Brooklyn, owes much of its
success to the work OF one unmarried wom-
an, and that the Young Women's Chris
tan association, of that city, is contem-
plating really large undertaking for the
improvement of the condition of shop

Economy in q Family.

There is nothing which goes so far toward
placing young people beyond the reach of
poverty as economy in the management Of
their domestic affairs. 1t matters not
whether man furnish little or much for
his family if there is a continual leakage
in the kitchen or in the parlor. 1t is the
husbands duty to bring into the house,
and it is the duty of the wife to see that
nothing goes wrongfully out of it-not the
least article, however unimportant in itself,
for it establishes a precedent-nor under
any pretense, for it opens the door for ruin
to stalk in, and he seldom leaves an oppor-
tunity unimproved. The husbands inter
est should be the wifes care, and her great
est ambition should carry her no farther
than his welfare or happiness. together
with that of her children.
This should be her sole aim and the
theatre of her exploits in the bosom of her
family, where she may do as much toward
making fortune as he can in the count
ing room or in the workshop. It is not the
money earned that makes man wealthy
it is what he saves from his earnings. A
good and prudent husband makes deposit
of the fruits of his labor with his best
friend, and if that friend be not true to
him what has he to hope? If he dare not
place confidence in the companion of his
bosom where is he to place itI-New York

If ones home is fair and fine, with soft
carpets, rugs, pictures, marbles, china,

blessings that these things give, even If one
is the apparent source of them himself, has
gathered and secured them by close effort
and self denial, be kept to ones self alone.
like the bone the dog gnaws and burles
till he can come back to it, 1t is not pri-
vacy and seclusion that give home its
sacredness. Far from it, 1t is its happl-
ness, its healthiness, its helpfulness, its
capacity to do good, to impart that happi-
ness and healthiness, its power of lifting
all the rest of the world into its own at
mosphere.
Those homes that are open to the home
less are the sacred ones, the homes where
there is always pillow for the weary, al
ways spare place at the table for the
wanderer; the homes whose beauty is shed
abroad like the gracious dew from heaven
that Portia talked about. There may be
many mansions in heaven. but he who
thinks they are mansions from which
every other heavenly habitant is excluded
has made mistake in the place; it would
not be heaven then.
However we may dispute and declare
that a man has right to be undisturbed
in his own house, yet we know in our inner
consciousness that we all regard the man
who brings another home to dinner sure
of a cordial greeting for him there: who
will not let the stranger find his welcome
in an inn on holiday when homes are
dearests who throws open his house to the
parish, whose lights are always shining
and inviting as you go by his windows,
across whose doorstep guests are often
coming and going; who loves his home so
much and finds it so complete that he
must have other people to love it, too, and
if they have nothing half SO choice, then

his neck wrung"
''Say, rather" replied Peggy, che should
be spanked and shut in closet. That lad
isn't over II. Tom, Pm getting tired of
this. It's worse than thought"
Peggy had just caught sight Of a scene
that made the blood leap to her face. On
the floor the high kicking and other antics
of girl In the black tulle skirts of bal
let dancer had elected shouts of admira-
ton from a crowd of men. Presently she
broke from the circle and ran away. But
she was not to escape so easily. She was
again surrounded and besieged by a we'll
dressed but half intoxicated mob. She
grew wild with rage, stamped her feet in
unavailing fury, and at last burst into a
torrent of angry tears.
"Oh, Tom" said Peggy family, 'let's
go. cannot stand this any longer"
Tom saw that his wife's courage was
fast disappearing. and they hastily made
their way through the lobbies filed with
men, who stared impudent}y at pretty
Peg, past boxes and stairways, on whose
scenes she did not even dare look, until
they reached the outer lobby. Here, to his
horror, Tom found he had forgotten his
bat. Peggy was now on the verge of tears.
Don't, dear" urged Tom wildly, as
the crowd surged and jostled and ogled his
wife; "don't cry, Peg. l must go back for
my hat.'
"Oh, don't leave mep' moaned the poor
little featkerbraiD, now thoroughly fright

Here, captain" pushing desperately to the
side of an captain, please take
care of my wife. 1 was fool enough to
bring her here, and I've left my hat and
must go back for it, and she's crying
and'-
With this lucid explanation he departed,
and Peggy remained in the hands of the
police. She was only conscious that she
was gently but firmly lifted out of the
struggling throng and placed behind
very broad and protecting back, where she
covered abjectly and covertly wiped her
tears away. The men who staggered by
tried to peep around to see Capt Jane
sons fair prisoner, but the officer glared 50
savagely at them that they SUNK away.
1t seemed ages while Tom was gone
ages during which she saw a well dressed
man strike a woman who appeared to be
beseeching him to leave another woman,
ages during which she saw two stalwart
policemen carry out woman in a drunken
stupor; ages during which two men fought
each other like tigers and were arrested.
At last Tom returned, and the captain
handed Peggy over to him, saying as he
gave her arm reassuring little pat: Take
my advice, Mrs. Tom, and keep away from
these balls in future. Good night"

til she broke her arm in hoidenish esca-
