No legislative obstacle should be placed
in the way of women to bar them out
from eniployments for which they show
themselves fitted; and no social prejudice
should be allowed to ~tyrannize where
there should be a fair field and no favor,
says the Month American Review.
But what will follow? A rush of wom-
en- into all the professions, berths and
Offices hitherto belonging to men? BY no
means. The strongest forces of nature
win still remain to draw women gener-
ally in the old directions. A select few
witt eminent gifts will share important
positions with the other sex. but the rank
and file Will find their place in the old
spheres. It is well for women to know
that marriage Is not the only outlet for
their lives, but marriage win ever con-
tinue to be the outlet for the great ma
iority. Loves young dream" will not
be ~extinguished. The management of the
household will ever be women's peculiar
care. Instincts not to be overcome will
continue TO draw them to occupations
that are peculiarly suited to their
strength and tastes. The functions of
maternity Will be surrounded with a
charm of their own. 1t may be true that
even in HI physical strength the woman
may by training and exercise become
the equal of the man, But Psychologists
all tell us that this can only be achieved
apart from the functions of maternity.
So long as she exercises these functions,
her frame as a rule will be more delicate,
her strength weaker. her features more
refined, her manner more gentle. And
these qualities will in some degree be i'm
parted to her daughters. Nature will
thus place her barrier against most of
the occupations of the other sex. The
female character will retain its refine
ment. its gentleness M its grace. The
divine rule, which has given to mar the
first place in the human family, will suf-
fer no infraction; it will still be true
tha sthe head of the woman is the
man."

here she has laid out a pretty hamlet,
with pleasant grounds and cosy cottages,
where the inmates can be treated not as
criminals but as patients. In order to
restore them to a healthy bodily con-
dition they will have plenty of active
employment, such as the raising of vege-
tables, the care of fowls, Bookkeeping,
dairy and laundry work. Each woman
will be charged S.25 a week, and this she
will work out, while all she earns above
that at her regular labors will be given
to her at her departure. There will be
resident physicians, and every effort will
be made to keep the minds and bodies
of the patients pleasantly occupied and
free from temptation.
Bronzes, according to the dictum of
the artist decorator, should always be
placed In a .stong light. Marbles, es-
pecially if they are light In color, should
be in half shadow: portrait busts look
best when placed In a corner, near a
window. if possible. If the wan space
of sue q bust in a light color is
also light, darken it by drapery of some
deep color, or by g panel covered with a
dark color set behind it. A panel con-
sisting of two folds looked we'll in such
a place. These panels nay be covered
