WoMAN'S WORLD III PARAGRAPHS.
Hook at These Questions College Girls Are
Discussing.
The institution of learning presided |
over by Tennyson's Princess Ida is al
most realized In some of the noble col
1eges for girls that now exist in the
United States. A poetic dream often
times brings its own fulf1lment. The
brave college girls are just as handsome,
just as prettily dressed, just as musical
and artistic IN their tastes as girls ever
were, and that is one of the old, good fea-
lures that were brought along and at
tached TO the new system. The girls of /
Wellesley college have political society
called the Agora. The members have \
been pursuing course of study on fed
eral government, and lately held mock h
senate, in which they discussed the Chan
der bill for restricted immigration, in !.
accordance with the rules of parliament
tary usage customary In the United States |
senate. 1t is one of the rules Of the |
Agora that members shall make at the |
beginning of a meeting extempore
speeches on various topics. I never have
had anything do me more good than to !
read of the subjects tackled in these
speeches at a recent meeting. The fair |
and wise young students made extern
pore addresses on Irish home rule, Ha-
waiian annexation and Kansas politiCx.
Where is the man who said that woro en-
take no interest IN the large questions Of
the day? Smith college, too, has aTl or
ganiZation called the Junior Political
society. Read this question Which the
Smith Juniors debated at a re- sent meet
ing, "Shau the United State Have Free
Coinage?" Now, know for certain that
the coming woman is here.
Mrs. Mary o. Miner of Hiawatha is
secretary of the Kallsas State Pharma-
cePtical association. That association
!, fact that one of them has been chosen
secretary is compliment to the two
pioneer women pharmaceutists.
Whenever woman marries man for
the sake Of being supported she ought to
be disappointed in her expectations.
Mrs. Antoinette Van Hoesen Wake
mar belongs to the editorial staff of the
Chicago Evening Post.
Lucy Holmes Taylor, D. D. S., is the
! first woman graduate in dentistry in
Kansas. She is vice president of the
, Isobella association.
The famous Old South church Of Bos-
ton is the scene of a contest annually
for number of prizes for the best es-
says on historical subjects. These are
known as the Old South prize essays.
This year the girls took all the prizes.
: One prize, $40 in money and member
g ship in the Massachusetts, Historical so
y ciety, was won by Lucy Warren of the
sophomore class of Boston university.
d How much good an association of WON
:. en- can do is shown by Mrs. Underwood's
+ story in Worthington's Magazine of the
Chicago Woman's club. That magnif
v icent organization has now been in ex
v istence II years. It has established and
g maintains free kindergarten and pro
tective agency for women and children
-, Through its persistent efforts womer
= physicians were appointed on the medica
staff of insane asylums and other public
70 institutions III Illinois. The same kind
of effort, at once enthusiastic and gentle
"a as well as steady, resulted in the ap
-e pointment of women as assistant schoo
j. superintendents and members of tn
il. board of education in Chicago. One o
X the club members is Mrs. Bertha Honor
l. Palmer, president of the board of Lad,
ne managers of the Columbian exposition
l. Another is Ada c. Sweet, the pension
claim agent, who so long held the ohic
of government disbursing pension agen
~ at Chicago. Yet another member, Mrs
j. M. Flower, is president of the Illinoi
I training school for nurses. One featur
." that has contributed not little to tn
great success of the Chicago club is tn
on fact that ladies of leisure and the high
is est social standing became active an
Xt enthusiastic members, and it helpe
of them quite as much as they helped 1t.
You will never have any peace o
rlc smooth sailing as long as you fly into

~ What do you think of this kind {
law? A negro in Louisiana stole SON
