ehusetts girl who began the study of
stenography but three years ago and
had quite the full average Of trials and
in getting good posi-
ton. IA
One of the objections oftenest urged
against her was that she looked too
young for the place, which is very nice
saying indeed to lady in society, but a
tride hard on stenographer. After do
ing odd pieces Of work her first engage
ment Of any length was to assist Ollie
Sumner Teall is a political campaign.
She then opened an Office of her own and
finally became private secretary, as afore-
said, to Commissioner Anthony Grady.
She loses no opportunity to add to her
general information and is a graduate
of the Women's Lazy school, an institu-
ton where most of the teaching is done
by evening lectures. She is now Q sort
Of assistant commissioner and has a
stenographer to whom she dictates let
ters, attending thus tc much business
she formerly took in tictation from Mr..
Grady.
Commissioner Haas Beattie also had a
lady for private secretary when he was
at the head IF the New York street clean
ing department. Miss Cynthia West
over made quite reputation in that po-
sition and is often quoted as fine ex-
ample of what such semioficial should
be. In truth, the Office of private secre-
tary requires happy union of many
qualities, most Of which we have been
taught to consider peculiarly feminine.
One must have deal of tact, ability to
catch an idea WITHOUT requiring too
many words in setting 1t forth, and es-
pecially If there are many callers must
the secretary have the talent to say
something to all and yet leave none with
any phrase that may afterward bequoted
against the principal.
Mrs. John A. Logan is credited with
having trained her own private secretary
for several years, and as she had good
subject to start on the result is admir-
able. In her home there is a very re-
tired but comfortable and well lighted
room where Mrs. Logan does her work,
and the ornament and pride Of that room
is Miss Edith Marshall.
Miss Marshall Is o rather slender and
timid looking Pennsylv ania girl who had
worked her way steadily to position in
Washington city when Mrs. Logan met
her and found her assistance of value.

Some technical purists are calling the

bad grammar. and that we should say
1.-THE United States are nation" Well,
we won't do it. The United States is
one country-one and indissoluble-and
it is altogether proper to use the singu-

to, but surely most Of it is the natural
result Of that industrial and commercial
development which has created so many
employments in which dizziness. refined
taste and delicacy Of touch are Of far
more value than mere physical strength.
II you doubt It, consider this contrast:
France, in which the Salic law prevails
from throne to crossroads postofice, and
the political rights of women are not
even so much as mentioned, employs
more women in clerical and industrially
technical ways than any other country,
while those new states in which political
distinctions are almost or quite abol-
ished employ few or none. The more
advanced the civilization the less ad-
vantage has mere muscle and the more
have quickness of thought and delicacy
Of touch. France makes her money by
producing articles Of taste and beauty.
Wyoming, Washington, etc., make theirs
by telling trees and digging ores, by
ranching and rearing cattle.
With men good pay is the determining
factor In grading employment. With
women the neatness Of the work and the
opportunity to maintain q good personal
appearance are at least equally potent.
In stenography all three conditions are
satisfied. The pay is fair, the work is
clean, the finest costume is not too good
for it, the eyes and complexion are not
injured. 1t Is pre-eminently womanly
work.
And deal Of intellect may be put in
to it. But it is there that we hear the
usual complaint. A woman stenographer,
we are told, studies till she gets a posi-
ton and can fill it fairly well, and there.
after it is all routine with her. She does
not strive to acquire general information
which would greatly increase her value
to an author or editor. She does not,
say these critics, even interest itself in
others Of her profession. Ask any man

Ask a woman stenographer as to her
sisters, and the usual answer is, swell,
! I don't read the stenographers' journals
now, and I really can't think of any just

corps has not yet been created, There

One of the Partisan fancies is for glace
silk gowns trimmed with pinked out
founces. Basques are slowly gaining
favor, but are al yet reserved for cloth
dresses and travelling costumes. A fancy
style Is double basque of silk or velvet
cut to fit closely at the waist and form
ing series of huted plaits at the edge.
The most conspicuous feature Of the
present fashions is the use Of lace, which
is introduced in every imaginable man.
ner in every sort of gown. Whether
the dress is black, white or colored, silk
or gauze, there is a plentiful supply Of
this popular trimming. Chiffon comes
next in popularity and is used in a
variety of ways. When made over
changeable silk, it is an ideal gown.
The inevitable navy blue serge con-
tinues to be an important dress in every
wardrobe.
A lace trimmed costume is made Of
soft wool goods diagonally striped with
blue and red. The skirt Is ornamented
with wide red ribbon run in and out and
finished off in Topped knot on the right
side. The same ribbon is used for the
double belt combining the full bodice.
Each belt is fastened with a buckle.
The yoke and figaro vest with capelets
are all of white guipure. A light straw
hat trimmed with red ribbon and black
aigrets sets off the costume.

THE POST TRADER.

Bill for the Abolition of This Time-Hon-
nred Institution WIN Become Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1A.-Chairman Outh-
waite, of the house committee on military
affairs, said that he expected to see the ZEN
ate bill abolishing post traaetships passed
by the house before the end of the session.
The bill was reported favorably from the
committee. It was passed by the senate at
the last session. Gen. j. M. Schofeld says
of the proposition:
The post trader is no longer necessary,
md in nearly all cases if continued at all
would be only a source of detriment to the
best interests of the ARMY. In some cases
the policy of the war department to do away
with all post tt aders has been delayed
through n just and generous regard for
vested lnte ~ests of present incumbents, and
80 some have been permitted to continue
their business until they could close with
out material loss and their buildings have
been or ave about to be purchased at a fair
price. whenever that may be done to the
advantage OF the government, so rapidly as
this can be accom- plished. The system of
post traders should be eliminated entirely
and l therefore fully concur in the wisdom
of the proposed law repeating the authority
to appoint post traders in the army. This
necessity can never hereafter again arise 80
long as the directory OF the United State
remains with its present boundaries.
"The position of post trader was origi-
nally established in part perhaps as a sub
stitute for the old sutlership which had
been abolished, but mainly as a means of

the army AMI rowing Indians were almost
the sole inhabitants OF a vast range of

posts have grown up thriving towns, where
traders of all kinds are able to supply the
necessities above referred to. by means OF
which tho post trader became only a priv.
legged rival OF citizens engaged in legitimate
business in the near vicinity. These
trade stores were also found to be a de-

officers and enlisted men. Under the wiser

10 fifth annual meeting OF the National
American Woman's Suffrage association.
The women who were famous Mt the hrst
memorable convention are still Mt tho head
of the movement. though the active work
has bean placed in younger hands. In
those early days the movement met with
the ridioule all innovations contend against,
and few were found willing TO encounter
the Calling shafts Of the Anne lean oynic.
To-day the membership is in tho hundreds,
and besides the names Of Miss Susan b.
Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Isabella
Beecher Hooker and Lucy Stone, must be
placed the active list OF younger workers,
such as Rev. Anna shaw, Rachel Foster
Avery. Lucy Il, Anthony, May Wright Sew
ell, Alice Stone Blackwell and Harriet Tay-
lor Upton.
Though this is n quarter century conven-
tion. it ia by no means proper to infer thai
the movement in America had it's inception
twenty-five years ago. 1t WAS Mrs. stanton,

century ago. assisted by Lucretia Mott,

The demand for equal suffrage was as
broad then as it ia now. In it's purpose the
movement has never grown. In its e!abo-
ration and application it has assumed
splendid proportions.
The declaration Of sentiments enunciated
at that first convention recited among
other grievances those growing out of legal
disabilities of women, the injustice of tax
alton without representation, lack of her
educational facilities md finally tho reso-
luton. ''Tha it is she duty of the women
of this country to secure to themselves the
right to the elective franchise"
Two years later susan b. Anthony Joined
the movement and the Quaker girl of those
curly days put heart. soul and mind into
the movement, mud much of the work
achieved must be credited to her.
Forty years ago women were given no
representation in conventions whore politi-
cal or industrial! topics were discussed. To.
dny nearly all the states have some degree
of suffrage. New York and Minnesota have
given women the power to vote for county
superintendent of schools. Illinois gives
them a vote in all school elections, including
a vote for the trustees of the state uni
%versity. Kansas allows them to vote at all
city elections, and Wyoming has given
