A thorough business woman whom

of view woman's worst fault is want of
punctuality. She herself has lost con-
siderable money through the apparent
inability of her sex to understand that
when certain date YVES named next day

Ladies, let me call your attention to
it. The baccarat scandal, which may
result ultimately in the downfall of the
British monarchy, was proclaimed tothe

Why will graduating girls persist in
wearing gloves at their commandments.
tight gloves that make their arms and
fingers stiff as sticks, when their own

When Decoration Day was first estab-
ished in this country nobody would have
thought woman could give the address
at the meetings commemorative Of the
occasion. But on May 30 woman de-
hvered the Decoration Day address at
no less imposing place than fremont
Temple, Boston. To be sure, it was Mrs.
Livermore who was thus chosen. but

honors of the evening, this strong, en-
thusiastic girl, who for three years had
bravely recited side by side with the
boys and learned the same lessons they
did. Her graduating essay was on ''Wo-
man as Factor in Industry" and was
an eloquent plea for q woman's right
to make the most of her abilities. The
only aroma of the past that still chung
about Mics Spelman's graduation was
that she held her essay in her hand and
pretended to read it, instead of looking
at her audience face to face and speak
ing the words bravely, using her hands
to emphasize them as the boys did. 1t
was all a sham her pretending TO read as
one could see, and che merely glanced at
the paper from time TO time in a hum
bugging little way. suppose She had
been directed to do that ~ concession to
the still lingering medieval idea that il
is not quite proper for woman to speak
in public, or If one does speak that it is
