for ''the emancipation of woman" and Mrs.
Harte (then Miss Rowlands) felt she would
like to help To open the doors of learning 10
women, in order that they might lit them
selves for professional life. She resolved
10 herself to gain knowledge of medicine.
1t was then impossible to take Il medical
degree in England. and she went over to
Paris. She had not been studying long when
she met DIR. Harte. and shortly after became
his wife.
During later years Mrs. Harte has given
a good deal of attention to politics, reading
all that has been written on Irish history
and Irish industries She induced her hus-
band TO go to Ireland in order to make spe-
cial Investigations into the cause of the re-
current famine in the congesued northwest

position has been widely circulated in which
he states that one of the most interesting
features OF the fair will be an Irish indus
