Prejudicei Yes, thers y prejudice
against them. But Il, is the sanie pre.
i0dice that does not allow women TO
have political suffrage; the sans that
objects to women being anything but
housekeepers or butterflies. There is
no foundation for it whatever, and. it
will pass away in time. / find that
foreigners, Germans especially, who
have beSn+ accustomed to midwives in
their own country, take most kindly
to female practitioners. It is the
American people that stick to the old
exploded theory of woman's inability
to own and manage property, to buy
and sell, or to follow q learned
profession. During the last quarter
century thirty-eight medical colleges
have been opened to women, and
seven others are exclusively for
women. In the West they are more
liberal than in the East. There are
today upwards of three thousand
women practitioners, where, twenty
five years ago there were but q
score!
1t is argued that women dislike the
sight of blood. Of course they do.
So do men. When commenced the
study of medicine was fully con-
vinced that women would not make
good surgeons. But long experience
has reversed that conviction. Many
of them undoubtedly possess the
nerve to perform any surgical opera
ton. They do their work in a mas
terly manner, and without flinching.
The theory that woman's nervous
temperament and sympathetic nat
ture initiates against her in this con-
nection, is absolutely false.
What Mothers are Made For.
A home is what woman makes it:
a daughter is, in nine cases out of
every ten, therefection of her mother,
writes Edward w. Box in the Ladies'
Home Journal. The training of the
girl of fifteen is shown in the woman
of fifty. A son may, by contact with
the rough world, sometimes outiive
his early home Influences daughter
rarely does. She may make mis-
step. Indiscretion may be to her a
necessary teacher; but her early dom
estic trainingwill manifest itselfsooner
or later. Amother's word, q domestic
proverb, told at eventide by the quiet
tireside, has been recalled by many q
woman years after it was uttered. "I
thank God that my mother told me
what other women have been taught
by the world" said gentlewoman to
me not long ago. This. my friend, is
the tribute which your daughter and
mine should be able to pay to our
memories long after we are gone. The
world has sharp way of teaching it's
truths to girl. Is it not far better,
then, that her mother should tell her
with that sweet and sympathetic
grace and gentleness which only q
mother knows? The flowers most
beautiful to the eye and sweetest to
the smell, grow in good soil. The
worlds nOblest women have sprung
from good homes. O..
Women and Economy
A wise woman who knows gives
womankind in general few hints on
ways and means of being economical.
A clever device, she says, for providing
ones self with number offresh toilets
for the coming summer is to secure in
the first place pretty and becoming
frOck of q neutral tint that goes well
with many colors. This frock should
be made with simple skirt and one of
those jacket bodices, the fronts of
which are cut off at the waist sharp
and shortly, and which finish at the
throat with turn-down collar.
In the house one will wear this USE
full costume with pale blue silk blouse,
which does not cost much if one buys
it, and costs still less if one makes it
out of a little surah. A blue tie knots
at the throat with g. white lace edg-
ing.
For out-of-door strolls in the coun-
try a bright tartan plaid blouse and
tie can be substituted.
If one is unlucky enough to be shut
up in town a stiff1y starched white
skirt will make all proper and con.
ventional.
If one boats a navy blue blouse will
be added, and for tennis something
figured. with rackets and balls. One
dress with q number of ties and
blouses can be worked into all sorts
of >. combinations.-From the New
York Recorder.
Advice to Lady Gardeners.
Now plant schemes for Summer
travel. Rake in your husbands
loose change and cut back his super
fous expenses. Cultivate hectic
fushes and sick spells, showing the
need of fresh air and of transplanting
to the seaside. Prepare for Summer
dresses and get ready your guide
books. Saratoga should be brought
out and overhauled. Water the family
doctor with generous fees and culti-
vate his ideas that the European
travel treatment would best suit your
case. Begin to mulch your husband
with kindness and fattery. It may
encourage the growth of his liberality.
When he is ripe for picking he should
have more fondlin9 and be put into
the sunlight of warm affection. This
should be kept up until he begins to
drop big leaves from his check book.
When you have got all you can, turn
him out of the pot and throw him in-
to a corner to dry off.-Philadelphia
Times.
