Writing of our own Mrs. Amelia Barr
a London woman's journal SAYS: Mrs
| Barr's study in Cherry Croft, her home
in Conwallon-the-H is a large uu-
carpeted room, plainly and solidly fur
nished Half library, half business office,
1t has all the air as her daughter de-
scrlbes 1t, of being the room Of "A serious
worker and a considerable money Garner.
| The lady writes standing at high desk
set in the embrasure of "a window over
looking a magnificent mountainous land
scape, through which the course of the
| hudson may be traced for forty miles
Here may be seen sets of drawers. in
! which are stored the penciied first drafts
OF her books, run along one wall that is
nearly covered with files holding her
| business letters, contracts with publish
ers, etc. Her husband portrait, the only
picture in the room, looks down from the
opposite wall. Above the book case hangs
the motto she chose when first she en-
tered upon her literary career: 4 say to
my Maker, thanks for the DAVIS work that
my Lord gives me- Mrs Barrs strong
personality has impressed itself upon
these intimate surroundings Her large
business faculty; the singleness of her
life's love; her religious spirit are all
symbolized in the appearance of her
WOrkrOom."
II want you to advise me about my
money" said a rich widow not long ago
to New York Times woman writer
you are woman of business and can
tell me what to do"
I'm two minutes" said the other. Con
suit. your lawyer, and follow his advice
implicitly"
'But you invest2"
Eyes, but never on my own responsible
ity nor on the advice Of any woman"
Then You don't believe in the equality
OF the sexes and"
"Oh, bother all such questions No,
don't, If you want to know my candid
opinion. never knew woman and never
want to know one, and wouldn't trust her
il did know her, who would be a match
for that meanest of male rogues, he who
sets out to fleece women. / smile some
times when l hear remarks about the
brilliant success of well-known women
1t reminds me of the famous saying in an
swer to the boast of Englishmen about
the glorious reigns of their queens: OF
course, for under them the power behind
the throne was man. whereas back of
your kings was woman every time"
Descending to the analysis of single fea-
lures 1t viii be instructive to look criti-
cally at the writing in the forehead, writes
John Lambert. Payne in an exhaustive
article describing 'What is Written in a
Woman's Face In the September Ladies
Home Journal. 1t is not always an easy
thing to measure by the eye the actual
width or hight Of this portion of the
head because of the volume of hair
which often encroaches toward the eyes;
but it Is fairly safe to conclude that the
size Of a forehead has direct relation to
brain capacity. This is subject only to
qualifications as to intensity and activity
which need not now be considered. For
all purposes within the range of this
sketch it may be said that a high and
broad forehead denotes intellectually,
with an acute nervous temperament,
although only too often lack of balance
A slightly sloping forehead indicates
availability of talent, and when the
slope is caused by high perceptives
lying over the eyes 1t may also be taken
as showing powers of keen observation
If the slope Is found without this ftillness
over the eyes it may be accepted as the
evidence of weak reasoning powers, for
the forehead is undoubtedly the seat of
the mental faculties Mirthful women,
with a fine sense of the ridiculous, are
usually marked by distinct prominence
at what may be called the upper corners
of the forehead. Fullness in the center,
partly covered by the hair, suggests good
nature and friendliness, while roundness
between the hair line and the center of
the head plainly indicates Astounding gen
erosity and sympathy. Most women have
an active appreciation of the artistic and
decorative, and hence it is that in most
faces is seen a plumpness over the eye
brows. A noticeable development about
half an inch above the outer end of the
eyebrows is characteristic of pronounc-
ably musical persons.
So many people, says the New York
SIM have been inclined to argue from the
well-known domestic unhappiness of Car
lyle and his long suffering 'consort the in
ability of a gifted man and a gifted WO-
man dwelling together in unity, that it is
pleasant to read of the experience of
Alphonse Daudet and his talented wife
Il was quitea young fellow the author
tells US, land had great prejudice
against literary women, especially against
quered, and I have remained under the
charm ever since. People sometimes ask
me if ] approve of women writing. How
shouldI not when my own wife has al
ways written and when all that is best in
my literary work is owing to her influ-
ence and suggestion" Nine. Daudet
shares not only her husbands literary
tastes, but his literary work as we'll

Mrs jackson reached her husbands
deathbed, writes Mrs. jefferson Davis in
an interesting sketch with portrait of
"1'he Widow of Stonewall jackson" in
the September Ladies' Home Journal
Spent with the anguish of his wounds he
lay dying, too near the silence of the
grave to do more than murmur to his
wife: "Speak louder l want to hear all
you say" and feebly to caress his baby
with whispered; my sweet one, my
treasure while the innocent
