THE MARRIED WOMAN.
Y. Marion Crawford Writes OF Her New
Part In Our present-Dny Society.

Y. Marion Crawford Writes OF Her New
Part In Our Present-Day Society.
The married woman plays much
larger part in our society to-day than
she did ten years ago, and the almighty
girl has lost some of her supremacy
writes +. Marion Crawford in his de-
lightful study of "rhe American Wom-
an as seen after an absence OF ten
years, in the April Ladies' Home Jour
nal. We are not ruled by Daisy Miller
as we once were, though the foreigner
still seems TO think so, and makes the
girl the central point in most of his
sketches of Americans abroad But
Daisy Miller was u very real and living
person when Mr.. Henry James immor.
talized her. 1t was thought of the
time by many that she represented
tendency in the future. 1t seems 10 me,
on the contrary, that she was even then
becoming a relict of the past The ON.
Impotence of the pert maid is most com
pletc in the village, where she necessa-
rily has more leisure, lighter heart
and less to think of, than the farmers
wife or the laboring-man's helpmatc.
The impression she produces comes
from her vitality, not from her intelli-
gence. Marriage in the life of n village
is much more serious affair than in
that state of life to which society con-
siders that it is called. 1t means hard
work, Il large family, mouths 10 feed
and clothes to wash. In other words,
it means service, if not servtude, even
with the assistance of the modern farm
ing machinery, which did not exist in
the days when Daisy Miller's progen.
ilriX began to be, and when such state
of things as exists in our time was not
even dreamed of. The village drama,
if the village had one, was no doubt fun
damentally like the drawing-room trag-
edy of our time, but the actors were
not the same. They were generally
considerably younger and brought more
activity and less thought to the events
in which they played part; more SEN
timentality and less passion, more con-
ventional stage business and less orig
inal power. In the pastoral state none
but the very Young had time for much
sentiment But we have changed all
that and Daisy Miller no longer plays
the leading lady" in the comedy.
That is a sign of civilization, because
civilization means all that which di-
minishes the difficulties of material ex-
istence and tends to develop what we
have agreed to call the higher side of
human nature.

a DEVOTED WOMAN.
How She is Aiding New Yorks Fallen
Women to Lead Better Lives.

How She is Aiding New Yorks Fallen
Women to Lead Better Lives.
A work which is being carried on in
this city through the devotion of a
single hearted and persevering woman
deserves mention, says the New York
Times. The need and benefcence of
the Florence mission have been estab-
lished. The mission closes, however,
about / o'clock, and Miss Beyser, one
of its workers, felt that valuable OPP
portunities for good were often lost
from this fact. She determined to pro-
vide refuge for the wretched women
of the district that should catch some
of the poor creatures shut out from
dance houses and saloons still further
on toward daybreak,
Her first effort was in very simple
way. She secured a room-a shabby
one it was-and managed to get stove,
a carpet, a couple of cots, and some
chairs. With the outfit arranged as
attractively as possible she began her
philanthropic housekeeping.
The very first night four drunken
women were coaxed in to sleep off their
debauch and be looked after and fed
with comfortable breakfast in the
morning. From this small beginning,
barely six weeks ago, the plan has
steadily widened. Mr.. o. B. Booth has
assisted Miss Beyser in her efforts,
some business men have become inter-
ested, and four pleasant rooms have
been rented at &c Mulberry street, which
never at night lack these unfortunates
as guests.
AS may be imagined the work needs
special qualifications Tact, sympathy,
sincerity confined with firmness and
dignity-these and more womanly
traits must be called into play Miss
Beyser confesses the work to be most
wearing, but she adds, when night
comes must be at my post" Through
the day the women arc cared for at the
Florence mission.

In East Greenwich there is woman
Jail keeper W hose father and grand
father kept the Jail before her. So in.
secure was the old place that some
years ago it was no unusual thing for
the prisoners to remark that they could
escape, but they were treated so well
they didn't care to. To one of the
prisoners who spoke of the matter of
escape Mrs. Smith replied that she had
asked for an appropriation, whereupon
the prisoner called for pen and ink and
wrote to the governor of the state a
characteristic letter, which is kept
among the archives. 1t is headed East
Greenwich jail and continues: IF you
don't send some one down here pretty
quickpand patch up this place for Mrs.
Smith as she wants it I'll leave"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products 10
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man.

A remarkable instance of official
regulation of morality in women has
been reported from New Zealand. An
important bill has been brought before
the house of representatives which,
If passed, will make it necessary for
washerwomen to show to the minister
of public works certificate of charac-
ter signed by four justices and a
policeman. This certificate having
been endorsed by the censors of
feminine morals and the woman's
premises having been inspected, pro-
vided the august authority is satisfied,
she will receive a certificate Of merit to
scrub out soiled linen.
Apropos of this report, which may be
unfounded, caustic woman writer
says: The aspect of policemen and
justices furnishing certificates of moral
character to any human being is cdify-
ing, unless the New Zealand product
differs radically from that of New
York, Chicago or Boston. 1t seems
more like an instance when a COMPARE
son of the respective disqualification
of notes and beams would be in order. "

OUR 1888 WOMAN,

She Pursues Her Way Regardless of All
Criticisms and Sscers.
The woman of 1898 has need of a sup
ply Of forbearance, self-rels nee, con-
stancy and, shall it be said, of indffer-
ence such as has not been necessary to
woman since the days of our foremother
Eye. For in what period of the world
has she been such a subject of criticism?
Her dress, whether it be long or short,
scanty or ample, high or low, the heels
of her boots and thickness of sole, her
underwear and outerwear, her penman-
ship, her friendships, her reading, her
education, her choice of amusements,
and choice of husband, her manage
ment of home and children, or, if she
be unmarried, her choice of profess
sion are freely discussed criticised and
generally rated, often good-naturedly
it is true. Now, if women were 10 as
sumo all at once the characterlcss, uni-
form and uninteresting garments, man.
ners and habits of thought to which
the opinions of their critics would ap,
parently condemn them, what would
become of the occupation of her accus-
ers? Or, If she were to turn the tables,
and insist upon the masculine half OF
creation in stiff, unyielding collars,
ridiculous hats, evening coats that
would be considered monstrosities but
for their familiar appearance, should
don the costumes of the Japanese or
the Arab, and should courteously sug-
gest that the famboyant uniforms 0:
regalia which certain societies adopt
gave their wearers the appearance OF
consequential turkey gobblers the week
before Thanksgiving, what TRADE OF
abuse would be bestowed upon her!
But the woman swcetly goes her way,
regardless of criticisms and sneers, and
is not bad sort of woman either N.
