THE HUSBANDS REVOLT.
The Manner in Which John Madax Tried to Learn
independence From His Wife

MT Madax sat before his desk in a most
respondent attitude, his head in his hands
and his hands in his hair. Things were
going badly in the City, as, alas they often
do. Mr.. Madax was alone in his office in
Old Gold alley. He wanted time to think
and had given orders that he was not to
be disturbed. All the thinking he appeared
able to do did not seem to help matters, so
at last he pulled himself together and
paced up and down the room. Finally he
stopped and said to himself: "This seems
to be the only thing to do. j shall consult
with my wife, wish she came home more
frequently, and then we could talk over
these matters"
He seized a telegraph blank and wrote:
Mrs. John Madax, 20 Bullion Court,
City: Can you run over to Old Gold alley
for few minutes? l wish to consult you
on business. MADAX."
Hes rang the bell for a telegraph boy
and sent the message; then paced up and
down his room again, waiting for his wife
to appear. Instead, there came prompt
answer, which he tore open and read
feverishly: Sorry can't come this FORE
noon. Too busy. Call on me at o'clock,
and I will take you to the club, where we
lunch and have q quiet talk.-JoAN
MADAX."

New York's First Woman Attorney.

Miss Stanlyetta Titus, attorney at law.
is the official designation of the first woman
ever admitted to the bar in New York
City. Others before her have tried and
failed. among others Belva Lockwood. who
applied for admission and examination
some five years ago. but was rejected and
sent back to Washington. Miss Titus
graduated fourth in class of eighty
eight, all men save herself. Justice
Van Brunt granted her plea to be
allowed to come up for examination
in the general term of the Supreme
Court last week, and on the 18th of June
she appeared in court with the other can
didates to learn il she had passed setisfac-
torily. On Monday she will appear before
Judge Brunt TO satisfy him that she is a
woman of good moral character, and on
Saturday will be sworn in by the full
bench of Judges. This only female at
torney in New York is said not to be a
formida ble-looking person; on the con-
trary, she is gracious and graceful young
lady of 90, above medium height, with
large. dark, serious blue eyes. Some
people say that she is a 'bas bleu." but
those who have met her say that If her
stockings are blue she conceals them
under very dainty gowns. Miss Titus
