A "Reminiscences.

For over 40 years-yes, 45 years-the
shout has been going up in this country
for perfect equality of rights for women;
but, as you remem Der, 40 years was the
allotted time for the children of Israel
to wander in the wilderness in olden
times, SO history says. wonder if any
young person in this house can imagine
what it has been for a few women in
this country to spend 40 years, some of
them almost so, demanding WHAT
simply that the opinions of women
should be recognized, respected and
counted That is all we ask, and yet,
as you have heard here tonight, only in
few places has this den13nd been rec
ognized. remember just 20 years ago
coming down to Philadelphia, going to
your constitutional convent ton and
praying that body to SO construct the
constitution of the state as to guarantee
to woman her voice in the government.
I don't believe it was ever put to a
vote; it was not thought worth while.
If that constitution had been left as it
was, if it had not been altered to pre-
vent such a thing, woman today would
have been permitted to cast her ballot
in Pennsylvania. -Susan B. Anthony.

The Athletic Girl.

It is a cheering feature Of the new
woman movement that the athletic girl
is coming to the front in prompt and
sprightly manner. For long time she
has been the attractive heroine of fiction.
Now she is the equally attractive her
oine of fact. Hitherto it has been the
English girl who has been held up as
the model for the American girl to fol-
low in all departments of physical Gull
ture Now the American girl is fast
demonstrating her physical superiority
over her red checked English cousin.
All admire~s of gracious, attractive,
robust womanhood will rejoice that the
dollhouse camellias at last are in process
of being replaced by vigorous outdoor
roses. The day has gone by, let US hope
forever, when school or academy or
university education of the American
girl meant smattering of the classics
and modern languages, maltreatment
of the piano, some Delsarte foolishness
of department and the cultivation of
4rills to fit them for drawing rooms, the
outcome being an artificial, Ianguid,
haccid, pale faced creature entirely out
of place anywhere outside of the society
dollhouse. Another creature has taken
her place. She has as good an education
as the girl of the old times, and she has
besides this the boon of health and
strength adding to her sweet whole
someness. Chicago Tribune.

The Illinois legislature created a new
orime-wife desertion. Formerly in
this state, as elsewhere, a man could
desert his family without any danger Of
imprisonment. He might be compelled
to give up some money to provide for
wife and children. but he was guilty of
no crime and was safe from arrest. He
is so no longer. Deserticn of his family
has been made a felony, punishable
with imprisonment at hard labor in the
penitentiary, and not only has the law
been passed, but several prosecutions I'M
der it have begun in the Chicago justice
courts
No one will complain of this. The
abandonment of their families by men
who forget honor and obligation has be-
come an abuse SO widespread as to call
for the severest punishment. Men marry
young women and desert them after
the charm of the first intimacy has worn
off, and this they have been able to do
hitherto with perfect impunity. It is no
longer possible in Illinois. The law may
not result in restoring husbands to for
saken wives or in roviying lost love, but
it will at least deter adventurers marry
ing young women without first consid
ering the legal aspect of the matter. -

Sampson of Boston university, who are
attending lectures at the University Of
Leipsic, have been admitted to the peda-

is one of the most desirable in the phi

and it is difficult even for men to get
permission to attend. It includes a
course of visits to all the schools, under
the chaperonage of the professor, with
discussions of methods, etc., in the lee

Miss Hosmer is western girl of Mas

There are often good fashions grow
ing out of national disasters. At the
time of the French revolution the style
of wearing the hair high on the head
was begun and was designated as "a la
guillotine. " Apropos of this the fashion
of the present has entirely done away
with the idea that one must appear in q
fresh toilet every time one gees to a
function of any sort. Mrs. Cleveland
and the ladies OF the cabinet set the adj
mirable example last winter of wearing
the same gown as often as the humor
dictated. At the White House receptions
Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Carlisle and indeed
all of the cabinet ladies have worn tho
same gown more than once and havo
even resuscitated the toilets of last year
and subjected them to some Frightening
up and alteration, which. though per-
haps not apparent to the ordinary OBJ
server, has not escaped the eye of those
who know the gowns and the women
we'll. 1t is now quite allowable for a
society writer to state that Mrs. Blank
enblink wore her most becoming gown"
and to describe the familiar toilet.
And why not?-W Washington Capital.

Women Cyclists Abroad.

Among the society women abroad
who have gone into cycling for an exer-
else and an amusement Lady Dudley
takes prominence, as her wheel is one of
the handsomest in England. It is enam
eled with white and lined with blue and
gold, and the handles are real ivory.
The Princess of Wales and her daughters
haven't mustered courage to ride a two
wheel machine, but they go about on
tandem tricycles of elaborate designs
and leave the Duchess d Aosta and the
little queen of Holland to do the bicycle
hcnors. Queen Marguerite of Italy, who
was recently presented with golden
bicycle by the Veloce club of Milan, has
listened to the beautiful Duchess
d Aosta's praise Of the machine and is
preparing to appear alongside of her
cousin, who is so accomplished and ar
dent rider. The next thing we shall
know the entire Italian court will be on
wheels, and if the craze spreads beyond
royalty Boston will soon hear that Mrs.
Jack'' has taken to the wheel. For there
is no doubt but the dame du monde is
in for it all over Europe as well as in
America. Boston Herald

Women Diamond workers.

Woman has entered an entirely new
field of industry. So far as is known
femininity has never been known to do
anything with diamonds except to adorn
her person, but now she is competitor
for honors in cutting, polishing, setting,
splitting and rounding these gems Of
many colors. A we'll known dealer has
in his employ woman who means to
become proficient from A to 2 in this
branch of industry. And why not? Any
thing that requires delicaoy of touch,
patience or skill woman can do Accu-
racy comes with time and experience. -
