LAWS AND TRADITIONS.
BROTHER AND SISTER GUARDS: I joined the
Gnarcis iu 1892 and have been constant reader of
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE for n long time. One OF
the c. G. asked what Nations, people, keep the
different days of the week sacred. 1 saw this in
The Progressive Thinker, and think it answers the
question: Sunday, by Christians; Monday. by the
Greeks; Tuesday. by the Persians; Wednesday,
by the Assyrians; Thursday, by the Egyptians;
Friday, by the Turks; Saturday, by the Jews

THE COMING WOMAN.
The bright blooming girls of to. day are drifting
into an age when they will stand first among the
great workers of the world. They are now occu-
TO- they would have received the laugh OF scorn for
attempting to occupy. What will she be in l0
years hence? She will have received sufficient
education to enable her to fill some position It
matters not what it may be- by which she will gain
her way through life. She is climbing step by
step until finally she will stand in all her purity
and genileness at the top. The time Is last ap.
preaching il il is not now, when the working girl
will be the most attractive to both home and soci-
ETY.. The perfect LONELINESS OF a woman's eounte-
nance only consist in that majestic peace which
is founded in the memory OF happy aud useful
years, with hope of better things TO be won and to
be bestowed. In my opinion the coming woman
will be the independent one. VIII she not stand

gay, frivolous society girl 10 stand before her
parents and friends and insist upon equal rights

You may not need the armor for the battle of life,
but il is well TO have it safe in your possession for
a possible conflict. Learn some useful trade or

and you will enjoy your pleasure more, find your
rest much sweeter after the toll and yourself n

woman so instruct herself that in coming years,
When these millions of inhabitants are increased by
millions more, she will stand firm upon the founda-

she has finished her career here may she receive
