and secure from the unwelcoms stlen-
lions OF men.
Women have been blamed because OF
the severity OF their judgments oflnum-
oers OF their own sex and their erlyy OF
those more endowed ty nature thai the
ordinary being. What wonder II t1e-<
are, or rather have been? For. alrel
better day has came. Heretoft
women have had no arena but
drawing room, no opportunity for al
triumphs but social ones. As a matte
OF fact they are no more jealous by ne
ture than their brothers. How bite
are the rivalries between men In poll
ticsi Even those Of the Same party
hate each other and work 20 destroy
each other.
BETTER TINES COMING.
Among artists, lawyers and even min
listers there are similar ill feelings. OF
course the artist is not envious OF the
success OF the author, aud the preacher
has no discomfort because the poet mas
won triumph. II is only men OF the
same profession or occupation who are
jealous OF each other. Now, women
have heretofore had but one career, that
which society offers. The ballroom has
been their theatre. aud the winning OF
husband. the attentions Of men, the
glories Of a splendid establishment aud
fine clothes have been the honors 10 be-
desired. No wonder that they have
been flercely jealous OF those who have
carried of these prizes and that too Of
ten they have combined against the
common enemy.

come, as IL Is far worthier, 10 contend
for the awards OF scholarship and gold
medals OF art than 10 sqpabble n the
drawing room over the batteries OF men.
And yet. perhaps TO the end OF time, the
beautiful woman will sometimes suffer
at the hands OF her envlous sisters.
But IL Is not the members OF her own
sex alone who are cruel TO the pretty
woman. Men are sometimes most
wickedly unjust 10 her. A man will de-
