M$e: ZEy..zats2XxH great improve
ment during the
last few years in the condition of wo-
men who are compelled to make theil
own living. Their way was hard, but
it was getting easier, and rewards
and the respect of men were increas
ing. The condition of the working
women had improved, but she cannot
have full protection for herself unit
she stands on the same footing with
man before the law. She needs the
ballot for her own safety. The age
of consent varies in various States
one placing it as low as seven years
Yet no woman may tranfer foot Of
ground which she owns until she il
eighteen. A nation which places g
higher value upon its real estate thar
upon the virtue of it's daughters il
not nation worthy of the name
With the ballot woman could step in
and improve existing conditions.
Miss Harriet A.Keyser of New York
said that half century ago parents
were depressed when girl was born
but this was no longer so. Her Ger
man shoemaker rejoiced when his
fifth girl arrived because she would
earn money. The boys spent it. Thi:
showed an honorable independence
and a welcome at birth not vouch-
safed to woman hundred years ago
The business women had proved hel
efficiency. If she is paid less than a
man it demonstrates wrong still
done to woman, and if she Gusts the
man because she is cheaper she shows
the wrong done to man by the dis
franchisement of woman. This is q
two-edged sword, cutting both man
and woman.
A woman who has reached middle
age with a skin of cream and roses
says of her complexion regimen:
'My recipe is the simplest and
cheapest in the world. A little milk
and water aud ten minutes day are
all the secret involved. All women
know that to consult skin specialist.
or even the family physician, about
their complexion means an endless
routine of dosing and doctors bills,
but my remedy will do for the busiest
as well as the most economical of wo-
men. use nothing but milk, taking
one third milk to two of water
With this l battle my face and
neck freely twice day, five min utes
night and morning"

Mrs. Langtry says she still keeps up
her devotion to hot baths. She at
tributes her preservation of her COM
plexion to the habit. She bathes as
much in hot water as japanese. She
says the proper temperature is as hot
as you can bear it,whatever that may
be, and that the delight of this sensa-
tion and the good results of the bath
depends on having it just that hot.

Mile. Tartonovski, of Odessa, a
Jewess, learned at Kiel the business
of a matchmaker, and having been
awarded the diploma of master
matchmaker by the trades coucil in
Odessa has come forward as the first
Russian woman to adopt trade hith
erto monopolized by men.
A recent b biio had among her many
presents one which will serve the
the double purpose of reminding her
of the home she has left and also
will be of great practical use to her.
One of her friends armed herself with
q blank book and went about the
town where both lived to all their mu-
tual acquaintances, asking for cook
ing recipes. These she copied into
5he book, appending in each case the
name of the giver and classifying for
'uture reference. One could scarcely
imagine a more thoughtful gift.

Carrie Liebig has been appointed
LIS division surgeon of the Northern
Pacific at Hope, Idaho. This is the
irst woman physician to be appointed
n the railway service.
In Nevada the women are asking
he Legislature to grant them per-
mission to form a woman's militia,
md they intend to gain their point.
III Europe repudiates the theory
hat woman is inferior in physical
trength to man, as the women are
he real agriculturists of European
ountries. In Germany we have seen
20 women at work under a male boss
q beet field, while the men soldiers
lied about the country.
