Mrs. Jock Airlie was happily mar
ried woman, and having resolved to put
her friend, We're Nugent, into n similar
agreeable wedlock with George Lum-
ley, had invited the two young persons
out to her summer home at the fish
ponds. This was very magnanimous on
Mrs. jocks part, for George Lumley, the
artist, was so old and good friend as
to be considered quite her own proper
ty. The unaware victims of Mrs.
Jocks plot were in love with each other
before q week of association was over.
The artist had begged her to sit for
sketch of Penelope, to be used in n pro-
jected painting, and she had sung little
ballads for him, as few could sing bet
ter. But she misconstrued him. never
theless, and believed that his tenderness
was his pastime merely.
They were seated on a bench, after
game of tennis, when George Lumley
began his declaration of love.
PLEASE don't say any more about it,
Mr. Lumley," she interrupted. coldly.

She was positively trembling under
the touch of his eager hands, her heart
was beating SO loudly that she Thought

The demand for bachelor apartments

self-supporting women. Back hall bed
rooms and the grim. dreary boarding.
house parlor used in the early days OF
feminine independence to suffice. since
pioneers in a worthy cause can put up
with many inconvenience posterity
will not tolerate.
When women began life at first alone
and in city, the salaries were small
and the earners thereof chung to the
respectable but shabby boarding-house,
fearful to take holder step Now,
however we have changed all that.
The young woman, Immediately she
can earn more than will pay for one
room back, begins to dream of certain
privileges and possessions that can
never be hers in the clearinghouse.
In the attempt to make the dream
reality she falls into the habit of eX-
aiming small flats, floors for rent, etc,
but nothing so fulfills her ideal as the
bachelor apartments-those especially
built for the unmarried man. There
she sees space sufficient, yet never too
great, and all so well arraigned There
are all the foundation comforts of
home, with never a responsibility, and
the price not out of her reach.
But this elysium is set apart for mas
culine use and pleasure alone, and who
will build such castle of delight for
women? If a lodging-house is prepared
for women it is hedged about with n
barrier of rules and regulations that no
self-respecting, independent female
would or could submit to. One had
rather suffer the little back room than
endure restrictions suitable, perhaps,
for an old-fashioned girls boarding
school
/ 1t would seem, however, that tho
time had arrived for prejudice and sus'
picion to be laid aside, and an apart
ment house arranged for feminine occu-
pants. Whoever may undertake such
an investment will do we'll to profit by
foregoing examples, and let the pretty
suites of rooms to women on very
nearly the same terms that hold good
with the bachelor housekeepers. The
lady managers of the New Orleans
Womans club some years ago inaugu-
rated the unheard.of plan of letting
the unused rooms of the club house to
working women, on truly masculine
terms. To the astonishment of the in
credulous, and the delight of the mama
gers, the scheme worked like a charm.
Every room is filled with desirable ten
ants, who, triumphing in their dignified
freedom, in their latch keys, and the
confidence of others, prove the right OF
the spinster to enjoy equal privileges

The woman's question is the para
mount question of the day, and in its
varied intel prctations is as interesting
now as in the days when Dr. j. G. Hol-
land included the theme among his
lectures. After his woman lecture in
a New England town, where enamel
patton had been EN- braced to a consid-
cradle extent, young lady who was
engaged in the study of medicine said
to him. doctor, what you say is very
good for women who have husbands
and children, but what do you say to
those of us who have none?"
Il say get them" answered. the doc
tor.
Apropos of this woman question it
may be pertinent to ask why, in the
name of all that is reasonable, is it any
more dangerous to society for woman
to neglect certain wifely duties once in
cluded in her sphere of action than for
man to shirk all home responsibilities
except that of growing about the
things the woman leaves undone? Now
in the humble homes which the man
writer and lecturer eXtols SO eloquent
ly, where the ideal wife looks well to
the ways of her household, the hus-
band kindles the fires, sweeps the
walks, splits the kindlings, brings up
the coal, does the marketing, and lends
hand on Mondays.
Who kindles the fires in the city
household?
The maid servant
Who scrubs the stoop and pavement?
The man servant.
Who mends the broken lock or re-
duces the refractory hinges?
The locksmith.
Who does the marketing and settles
the bills and hears the growing be-
cause they are larger than they were
last week?
The wife.
What particular use is the city hus-
band in the household anyway?
just to pay for things and find
fault" one exasperated wife says.
And why is it so much more to be de-
plored that the wife doesn't do her own
cooking if she can earn more money at
something else than that the man
should not make his own trousers and
split the kindlings evening instead OF
going to his club?-N. Y. Sun

The Work of Miss Maude Valerie White. an
English Lady.
Miss Maude Valerie White whose vc-
cal composition have brought her into
prominence as possessing musical tai
ents of high order, was born at
Dieppe June 20, 1856, Her parents
were English and lived at Valparaiso
where her father was in business as
merchant Miss White has seen great
deal of the world, for, though born in
France, she subsequently passed many
OF the early years of her life in Chilli
whittier, by the by, she has recently
gone on an extended visit to her two
married sisters; she was for two years
at Heidelberg, and it was not until she
was well advanced in her teens that she
took up her residence in England,
where she first received instruction in
music from w. S. Rockstro, and after
ward at Queens college, from
Olive May, TO whose assiduous care and
classic taste she attributes much of her
ultimate success. In 1876 she entered
the Royal Academy of Music as q stu
dent, studying compositions under the
late Sir G. A. Macfarren and piano
! forte playing under his brother, Walter
| Macfarren; in 1879 she gained the Men
delsshon scholarship, the committee of
which decided she should continue her
studies at the royal academy with
these professors and +. w. Davenport
1t was Charles Sanity to whom the
credit belonged of having first revealed
to the public Miss Whites very remark
able talents for, having one day at the
academy been prevailed on to try over
her setting of 'Montrose's Love Song,
he was so impressed with the beauty
and originality of that composition
that he went through it again and
again, and afterward made its success
with the public by his splendid singing
of the song all over the country. To
this great vocalist the musical world also
owes its acquaintance with her beau
tiful songs absent Yet Present" "The
Devout Lover" and her characteristic
setting of Heine's poem Elm Jungling
liebt Gin Madchen." Failing health
necessitated the retirement of Miss
White from the academy in 1881, when
she was created an associate; but be-
fore leaving she produced at one of the
public concerts of the institution mass
for solo and chorus, with orchestra.
Two years sojourn in the genial eli.
mate of Chilli restored her to health and
musical activity, and, after studying
for short time in Vienna, she took NJ
her residence again in London, which
she has since made her headquarters
Miss White is highly accomplished
linguist and speaks and writes perfect
ly in French, German, Italian ant
Spanish, besides English, and this cir
cumstance may account for her having
set to music SO many German ant
: French lyrics and for the singular pre-
priety with which has observed tn

A False Verdict.

their failings, their pretty weaknesses,
and falser verdict was never uttered
Some men love weak women in spite Of
their weakness, but none love them for
it, They love the possibilities, unful
filled though they may always remain;
love from ha bit of sympathetic a5socia-
ton, but respect only the women
whose principles are lofty, and who
scorn the managing" of their hus-
bands, to which women whose lives are
filed with selfish motives descend.
There is no law which can be applied
to the honorable, righteous, courteous
and absolute right" dealing between
