The lecture of Miss Yates on Mon
day night drew fair house and was
in itself very fine thing. 1t was on
''The Coming Woman and showed
the progress made in lifting woman
out Of what she denominates thrall-
dom, to place and standing and equal
ity with man. She also predicted a
! still greater elevation until all the
business, the professions and the ex-
allied things of life should be hers to
enjoy and participate in. The speak
er is bright, and her points were sharp
and amusing. After "The Coming
Woman" arrives, we hardly see what
there will be left for her poor mascu-
line consort to do or to be. We pre-
sumo the masculine fraternity will
then be sought for and used to some
extent as husbands.
