reason 20 believe that the Judge OF Us
all must have words OF approval for

Yet the failures are not to be brood

II il about time that the lingering
sentiment in the South against women
working for themselves should lose it's
force. Ii IN a relic of the "Old South"
which, however chivalric in its origin,
can not stand against the practical
conditions of life which confront the
women Of the present.
few days ago resolution was in
troduced in the Georgia Legislature
authorizing the Governor to carry out
his desire TO appoint "a woman to the
office of Assistant Librarian. This
resolution was hotly opposed and actu-
ally defeated by the gallant mem
bcrs Of the Assembly who wish To pre-
serve the old Southern ideal woman
and keep her white hands undefiled by

Quitman county, protested against

the writer's and the artists are to be
found among its adhcrcnts. In this
country perhaps the most conspicuous
figures are William Dean llowcllS, the
novelist: Stedman. the poet; Bellamy,
Col. iiigginson and the enigmatic DON
nelly. Among artists Walter Crane is
the most pronounced. There are many
others whose stars are still near the
horizon. In England it includes such
men rs William Morris, the poet:
George Meredith, William Michael Ros-
sctti, Bernard Shaw, sydney Webband
even Oscar Wilde. John Ruskin is al
most to be included, although he
really belongs to that group of an
earlier day, which was really more rev.

iStic in its aims. There is Gerald Mas
sey and, perhaps, Walter Besant, and
many others less known to fame.
There is hardly n figure among all
whom | have named that is lacking in
the elements OF the picturesque. OF a
particular group of them there is a
curious thread of history. Back, per-
haps twenty years ago, two young men,
with very radical ideas about art, went
n day to paint some frescoes at Ok
ford. One of them bore the strange
name of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The
other was Burne-Jones. While they

Joined by Rossetti's brother and sister,
by William Morris, George Meredith
and Millais, and together they revolu-
tionized English ideas about art, and,
perhaps, literature as well. Dante
Rossstti is now dead. During his life
the school almost entirely confined its
energies to art and literature. Later,
after his death, it developed radical

prise and mystiication to his friends
and admirers. Yet no one could have
read his novels, and particularly such
as "a Hazard of New Fortunes and
''Silas Lapham, and even such a minor
story ms THE World of Chance, with
out realizing that the novelist had
long been "a serious student of such
questions.
Mr.. llowells chose to present
his philosophy to the public in
a garb of fiction. "A Traveller from
Altruria, and the sequel, "Lettcrs of
an Altrurian Traveller" bear a very
very strong resemblance to the
Utopia" of Sir Thomas Moore, the
Atlantis of Bacon and the "Repub.
lie" of Plato. 1t is worthy of note
that though the word ''Utopian' has
come TO be Synonymous with
chimerical dreams practically all
OF the advanced ideas of Sir
Thomas Moore long ago became the
coihmonplaces of our political system.
No one would now think of restoring

were among Sir Thomas Moore's
dreams.
