a prize AUI the DIST AtAAtl 0AA AAAI eAA4NNAH
The prize was awarded 10 Miss Annabel
johnson Of Darlington. 5. c. She is p
years Of age and has lived all her life in
South Carolina. She has studied at Col
umbia and Spartanburg. She IS a teacher
Her letter is as follows: Can love come
after marriage2 What is meant by love?
The love that poets write Of, the love
that makes the glory and dream Of youth,
has in il so much of uncertainty and wor-
ship that It cannot from its very nature
come after marriage. There is a love
founded on respect, and fed. not on tones
and glances but on daily acts Of kindness
and thoughtful consideration. In this
love the imagination has but little play
and Il may and does come after MIR
riage. The real question is, Which is the
better love?
Two clever Louisiana girls who are at
tracing attention in New York are the
Misses Bisland, who are engaged in news
paper and literary work These young
ladies enjoy the luxury Of possessing a
millionaire brother-in-law. Their sister,
Miss Elizabeth Bisland, the famous young
woman WHOSE BiuAt tiAAAAhta RNAAN A---"AANN
rivaIed the celebrated feat of Phileas
Fogg, captured the heart Of wealthy
admirer soon after her return to the land
of the free. She was woed and won by
Mr.. Charles whitman Whitmore, a we'll
known ship builder, whose bank account
runs up into millions. Many young wo-
men whose sister had married a million
aire would have considered that they had
a right to expect her TO advance their
interests in life and. at the very least, to
have procured suitable matches for them
weddings, already golden in their wealth
and brilliance. The Misses Bisland, how
ever. are girls Of a different sort. like
their sister, they are writer's Of uncom-
mon ability. AT the time of Miss Eliza
beth Bsland's marriage they were al
ready earning comfortable incomes with
their pens. Instead of looking upon their
sisters good fortune as welcome relief
from the necessity for industry they went
to work with redoubled ardor and pushed
their way to the front so rapidly that with
in a few months Miss Margaret was
able to take the position in the literary
field which had been Occupied by Mrs
Wetmore. Both of the Misses Bisland are
remarkably pretty and extraordinarily
clever A well-known man-about-town
said of them recently: "They are pretty
enough not to need brains, and clever
enough TO dispense with good looks
Have women, asks an exchange, as much
right to hunt husbands as men have to
hunt wives2
While this matter has been discussed
more or less for long time-ages, posi-
bly-it is becoming quite lively of late and
n q of the social IOllcS
of the future. The coming woman no
doubt. is responsible for it's revival, be-
cause she certainly will insist upon her
right to choose husband for herset.
Can you blame herr
You remember the sketch of the woman
who couldn't make her love known, as
given by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night"
She never told her love.
But let concealment like a worm the
bud,
Feed on her damask cheek; she pinned
in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like Patience on monument
Smiling at grief"
There is no sense in any woman acting
after this fashion. Even If her first ef-
fort should prove unsuccessful she heed
not despair, for there is no man so sood
that there are not others as good.
You may rest assured the coming wo-
man will not sit like Patience on
monument smiling at grief" She VIII not
be built that way.
l was stopped on the street recently by
a pretty young woman who said: DO
tell me in a few words what you think
about dress reform" writes Kate Field

what do you mean by dress REFORM

"well-er-well-er-do you think that
all women will adopt Turkish trousers
within few years?'
Certainly not
why wont they?'
Because no such radical change of
costume is possible in so short a ume'
even if it were advisable. Would you be-
gin?"
20 dear, no Well--er-just give me
your views about dress. Do you think
women can be healthy and fashionable
at the same timer
What do you mean by fashionable?'
''Mell-er-what everybody wears"
"A majority of women wear corsets,
but they don't all wear them alike. With
the present style of dress, which involves
an unpicturesque and unnaturally long
waist and a heavy skirt depending from
the loins. corsets that are flexible and
not laced are protection against worse
evils. No woman need lace. and no wO-
man win lace who understands physi-
ology. Lacing displaces vital organs and
creates serious and often dangerous NAL
aides. No woman need wear heavy skirts.
No woman who loves walking and out
door sports, and knows the JOY of being
unhampered by unnecessary drapery will
imprison herself beyond the absolute re-
quirements of society. No woman need
wear high-heel shoes. No woman will
who wants a Trilby foot free from corns
and bunions, true to nature in outline,
with every toe a free and independent vo-
ter. When women pay as much atten-
ton to their gait to their CATERS,
Trilby will have many rivals
Then you don't think trousers the first
step needed in dress REFORM"
Trousers are not in it, my dear Miss
interviewer. Begin at the beginning and
don't jump at conclusions. Take the world
as you find it, and rest assured that wo-
men are not going backward"
A young woman in San Francisco or
