A story Of Lucy Stone,

A characteristic story is told of Lucy
Stone. At one Of her early lectures,
when she made strong statement OF
the injustice some of our laws did to
women, and an appeal to have thcil
righted, hiss, clear and strong, came
out Of tho audience. The little crea.
ture stepped nearer to the front, quick
ly ran her eye over the audience,
fastened her eyes upon one point and
said: Somebody Kisses. am glad OF
it. Hiss it again, my fat friend, for it
is a shameful fact and deserves to be
hissed" The audience was overcome
with laughter and appreciated her
ready wit. The man felt as much like
goose Us a man can feel. lie got his
head down before she had finished her
sentence, but her finger still pointed
ut him. His head went lower and low.
e-, and, as soon as the audience turned
from looking at him, he slipped out
and was gone.

As Richard Malcolm Johnston said

say in their report. Mess:s. Weinpar-
ten Bros. are certainly deserving of this
high commendation for their crcditaule
showing OF their make of corsets.
In richness and value their exhibit
seemed to surpass any goods that could
be got into the space allotted them, 1t
was a veritable gallery of art in corsets.
The models were simply fascinating
and exquisite in appearance, and elected
many admirirg remarks from the ladies
The extra long waist is special feature
of our ideal American woman, and was
shown here to perfection in most SYM
metrical form.

EARLY MARRIAGES,



ted
Though in this country early mar
riagc> are less frequent than in Europe
because here the occupations of women
are so numerous that nearly every
young woman can maintain herself re.
specially by earning her own living,
while in Europe the same class find
matrimony almost the only avenue
through which they can escape from Il
dependent position at home. 1t is none
the less important To know that mar
riagcs contracted before the parties
have reached - are tn he regretted.
The reasons are that the offspring OF
women who are married before IS in
herit the imperfect physical develop
ment of their mothers and do not reach
mature life with strong constitutions.
The hcalthicst offspring are born TO
mothers between % and 50 who are
united to husbands between 50 and 40,
and it has been found in Europe,
where early marriages are very COR.
mon, that the deaths of children from
weak constitutions are twice as large
among the children whose mothers
were under 20 years of age us they
were among the children of mothers
who were over 80, The difference hc.
tween America and Europe in this mat.
ter of early marriages is chiefly due to
the way in which our girls are able to
reach out to self-support after they
have attained Il marrageable age
DR.. Cyrus Edison, in the current
North American, gives important sta.
tistics to show that, although in this
country the evil of early marriages is
not so great as it might be, the number
of brides under 20 who We're married in
New York city in 1891 was 9 $50; in 1899
it was $3.50. The number OF grooms
under 20 years of age in New York city
for that year was li5. by far the great.
est number of brides are reported to
have been - o. - when :hev were
married, which is Il healthy showing
for an American city, and New York is
probably fair evidence for the age of
brides in other large towns and cities.
In Hungary the girls become women
at the age of Is, and in that country Is
per cent. of the marriages show the
brides to be under 20 years of age, and
In England II per cent. are under that
age. In America girls are practically
free to marry WIEN they please, and
the instinct of self-prescrvation has
"uarded them well. -InSton Herald
