1t has been my experience that women
accomplish most things which they un-
dertake. They may fall in fields where
men sncceed, but in their particular
line" as might say, using theatrical
expression, they are the superiors of the
opposite sex.
1t is with great reluctance that the
cynical and worldly part OF male crea-
ton admits woman's usefulness in those
things in which he heretofore has been
unapproachable He will begin, and if
possible end. by scoffing and belittling
her work. and if he is obliged to con-
cede anything he does it with such a
bad grace as to show his disappointment
at her success.
When the women of the theatrical
profession undertook to hold fair for
the benefit of the Actors fund there
were those among the male members

made any comment, ended their re-
marks with contemptuous shrug of the
shoulders. do not wish to give the i'm
preston that all male members of the
profession made light Of the women's
proposed efforts, but the majority, even
if they said nothing, at least thought
the fair, as originally intended, an inn
possibility.
In the fair just closed the women of
the theatrical profession have demon
strated their ability successfully to carry
out any idea, no matter how colossal.
The receipts lover $200. .O0W indicate the
character of the work which they have
performed. Each day has seen the
Madison Square garden crowded with
thousands, who, by their presence and
money, showed their appreciation of the
good work.
Actresses Of highest reputation have
worked night and day, and now that
their labors are over, they have the
happy consciousness that their time was
not spent in vain
The profession as whole is under
great obligations to the public, without
which its efforts would not have met
with the present success. Georgia Cay

The washington Family Bible.

Mary Washington's family Bible is on
exhibition at Mount Vernon, and is in
excellent preservation, except for the
loss of the first few pages, that were torn
out and placed in the cornerstone of the
Mary Washington monument at Fred
ericksburg, Va. The book has cover
of homespun cloth, which was put on by
Mary Washington herself, and the first
entry recorded in the volume is the mar
riage of Augustine Washington and
Mary Ball in 1871. Following it is the
birth of George Washington, in Feb
ruary, 1732.

law providing for equal suffrage will be
passed whenever the present electorate
is convinced that such law is desirable

they prove that they wish to vote is
foolish, because that can never be done.

A Pretty wom ans Business.

Business men down town are quite
stirred up over a young woman solicitor,
who has recently appeared among them.
When you see two or three of them
gathered together it is safe to wager that
the pretty mucilage seller is the subject
of conversation, for. she has, in slang
phraseology, captured" them ALL She
is an English girl and answers to the
five volume romance name of We're Bou-
dree. She is a blond, with a rose leaf
complexion and great staring brown
eyes. Her beauty is absolutely startling,
but the strangest thing about her is that
she seems absolutely unconscious of it
and has a quick, Straightforward, busi-
ness manner that is in singular variance
with her appearance. She enters an
Office, where her good looks never fail
to gain her immediate attention, steps
briskly up to the occupant and in a
pleasant English voice, which occasion
ally fails to aspirate On "h," states her
business briefly and exhibits her wares.
OF which, being an article in general
use and not expensive, she usually effects
q sale.
Not infrequently she is drawn into
conversation by some susceptible banker
or lawyer. She never exhibits either
pleasure or annoyance in such cases, but
answers all questions frankly and mod
'estly, even when they are of personal
nature. 1t is needless to say that she
makes a success of her business, her
profits averaging from seven to ten dol
lars per week Her success demon
strates. too that a pretty woman can
circulate among men in business way
without any detriment to her modesty
il she only has herself we'll in hand and
attends strictly to business. st. Louis

A Girl Describes English Clothes.

We spent yesterday morning in the
park, which was blossoming like the
rose with spring bonnets and the bright
est of sunshades. see that men are
wearing waists this season, some with
only lust an indication of the fact and
others with an indiscreet accentuation
that must mean corsets. Their ties are
all full and fluffy again this spring, and
SO far as we could judge the favorite
color for frock coats is pretty shade OF
silver gray Their black frock coats
and morning coats are again rough in
surface, and on dusty day, as yester-
day was, these woolly cloths seem to
catch and retain every floating atom.
Charlie declares that he spent fortune
on clothes brushes last year, and says he
wishes there were coat brushes at street
corners as we'll as bootblacks.
Color seems to be quite demented this
spring. One sees the most hideous con-
trasts in women's dress. We saw a
green and purple in the park that set
our teeth on edge, SO very green and ul-
ira purple were the shades. In well
appointed carriage sat pretty woman
wearing tweed gown and sleeves of
tulip red velvet. Her wide brimmed
hat was in similar velvet, with black
feathers for trimming and large bunch
of Russian violets standing erect at the
back.
Now, Amy dear, who could admire red
and violet in conjunction with each 9TH

hideous. We saw one in stripes of vel
low and green that would have made
the least imaginative of human beings

Limiting women's working Hours.

Limiting Women's Working Hours.
How many hours shall women and
children be allowed to work in fac
tories? The legislature has undertaken
to say that fifty-eisht hours week shall
be the limit, and a bill fixing it at this
figure has passed the senate. Objection
is made to this interference on the part
of the state on the ground that such a
restriction would place our manufacture
ers at disadvantage with their COM
petitors in other states where the hours
in which women and children may be
kept at work are unlimited. It is said
also that the class of operators in whose
interest this bill is supposed to be
framed do not wish for shorter hours,
but to be allowed to work as long as
they please and earn as much wages as
they can.
But these objections do not reach the
point. The real question is whether
sixty hours or more Of factory work is
injurious to the women and children
thus employed, and whether the pro-
posed reduction of two hours will give
the relief necessary for home duties, for
study and for recreation The most
product of Massachusetts is its
people, and this must be protected even
if not another yard of calico or sheeting
