Some Difficulties Careering Young Men
Have to Contend With.
A talented and ambitious young man
has confided to me a curious story. He
has determined to make a career for
himself-write his name high in the pro-
fession he has chosen. He loves that
chosen life labor so much that he has
vowed nothing but death itself shall
come between him and the highest sue
cess. He tolls with grand srdor daily
and dreams glorious dreams of his work
nightly. And l glory in his spirit, his
u~nquenchable determination to let moth.
ing part him from his ideal. Iglory in
that spirit whether it exists in man OF
woman 1t is such a splendid dream
and so rare a thing. But this young
man has one trouble. 1t is not born of
his self c~onceit, for he is as modest a
youth as lives. He tells me he enjoys
particularly the society of ladies. A
bright, sweet, merry good girl gives him
just the society he mos desires and
needs. But if he makes up to such q
girl, shows that he enjoys her com
pany-I may as well out with 1.-THE
pretty girl at once concludes he
wants to marry her, and begins to de-
port herself accordingly. He is poor
and could not marry an angel if he
wanted to. But he does not want to
marry anybody. Alone with his pow
erty, his work and his glorious dreams,
he has something else to think of han
falling in love with girls and hampering
himself with matrimony. l would that
more young men, and women, too, were
like him. He has endeavored to mingle
in the society of girls several times, al
ways with the same result. He is good
looking and attractive, II the girls
speedily begin TO make eyes at him and
murmur soft hints which might mean
everything or nothing, just as a man
would take them. So this youth has
shut himself away from the society of
girls altogether. He does not enjoy the
life, but what would you have? Now,
here is a question: Has a young man any
right to seek the society of young ladies
if he is not ready to marry one of them?
A wicked young man sends me this,
culled from his philosophical reading,
"Women distrust men too much in gen.
eral and not enough in particular"
There are about 200 women lawyers
in this country, either practicing or con-
nected with law publications. In TWEEN
ty-one law firms the husbands and wives
are in partnership.
If you are a woman and have all the
rights you want, for heavens sake be
ashamed to tell it.
The lessons in American civil govern
ment published in Far and Near" by
Lucy Adams Barrows are the best l
have seen anywhere.
For the first time in its staid and con
sentative history the London Lancet
this year includes the Women's Med
ical school of London in its list of the
colleges in which a complete medical
education can be obtained.
There is one rich woman, Mrs. Phebe
Hearst, widow of Senator Hearst, of
California, who has a warm side for her
own sex. She has endowed five scholar
| ships for young women at the State Uni
versity of California. Would there were
more like her. Anything put the woman
who dies II leaves a large SUI of
money to a theological school whose cal
low young students are nourished on
such texts as Il suffer not n woman to
teach"
There are by the last census 4,467 oc-
equations in which women are earning
money in America. This ought to allow
liberty of choice to the individual.
