The Legal Status of Women.

Jessie J. Cassidy's little book, 1.-THE
Legal Status of Women" is creating
quite a sensation. Some of the laws il
which women are particularly interest
ed are decidedly queer. In Idaho there
is no provision for compelling the nus,
band to furnish support for the wife.
On the contrary, if he is infirm, his
wife must support him. In Nebraska
1.-THE husband is expected to furnish
suitable maintenance, according to his
idea of suitability. If his idea is hazy,
no provision is made for that. In New
Mexico nothing specific is required. y
Nevada requires the husband to fur
nish only the necessaries. " If his wife
happens to be- of a luxurious frame OF
mind, she will have to furnish her OWL
luxuries The law does not prohibit
this. In Arkansas mo support for thu
wife is compelled by law, unless she Sc
cures a divorce.

Women In Horticulture.

According 10 the census of 1890, there
were BIZ commercial greenhouses, or
about in ID, owned and managed by
women. We have personal acquaint-
ance with several women who are sue
cessful retail florists. Other women, to
our knowledge, are making a success of
raising carnations and other flowers for
the wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business of raising and
selling flowers is beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head of poetry. And yet nearly all wo-
men florists that we have met were led
into the business because they first of
all loved flowers. 1t adds to the delight
and success of any occupation if one has
a love therefor.
There is no question that, as a rule,
women have "A greater fondness than
men for flowers. Why, therefore, should
they not engage in growing and ham
ding them for profit The rougher
work about flower raising, such as the
care of greenhouse furnaces, the han
ding of soil and manure and the like,
can easily be done by men who work
for moderate wages. If women are sue
cessful as florists, they are equally SO as
raisers of vegetables and smaller fruits,
especially strawberries. They direct the
rougher work, help to prepare the prod
nee for customers and perhaps take in
hand the selling, thus keeping closely in
touch with the state of the market
Generally speaking, we think that the
raising of strawberries near our best
markets is further from being oyerdone
than that of almost any other kind of
produce. The consumption is enormous,
and fresh fruit brought quickly from
the fields, without large distance in
tervening, always will sell considerably
higher than fruit long from the vines
that has been shipped. Much of the
work of picking and handling small
fruits is we'll suited to be done by wo-
men. - Wick Magazine.

Mrs. Henrietta Hovey.

The New York Journal tells an inter
esting story about Mrs. Henrietta Hovey,
the famous exponent of Delsarte princi-
the metropolis:
''She revolutionized many customs.
She more than any other person did
away with the custom of shaking hands
in society. 1t is a supertluous custom,
she urged. 1t presupposes equality, and
as people in society are on an equal
footing it is superfluous Mrs. Hovey
has also revolutionized the bow of cere-
mony both i'll New York and London.
The old time style of bowling, in which
the foot played an important part, If
characterized by this progressive Del
sartean as merely a modification of the
milkmaid courtesy The bow of cere-
mony,' Mrs. Hovey says, should ex-
press, above everything, reverence. To
ladies who We've to be presented at court
Mrs Hovey said: Bow in the foot
scraping, Renufiection fashion, and the
queen will scarcely notice you, but bow
as | teach you and you cannot fail to
catch the royal attention.
Mrs. Hovey begins bowling by drop
ping the eyes. Next the head bends.
Then the shoulders and body and limbs
sink until the person is almost on the
knees. The recovery is slow and grace
full and expresses reverence almost as
much as the bow itself. This is the
court bow, and it is modification OF
this courtesy which Mrs. Hovey teaches
fashionable women for their use in ac-
knowledging introductions.
"When The Journal interviewer asked
Mrs. Hovey what constitutes well bred
snub, the lady said earnestly: A lady
must not stare insolently at the person
to be snubbed. To pretend not to see the
person is cowardly. She must bow, but
she must so retard the action Of the
bow as to convey her dislike to the OBJ
ject of her contempt. There is no other
well bred snub. J."

During the first 200 years of our ex-
istenee it would have been almost alb
surd to expect that women would be
extensively educated outside the home
The country was poor. and struggling
with new conditions, and great finan-
cial crises swept over it. There were
1919. 8 American independence was not
an assured fact. Whatever may be said
of the present, woman's place in
America then was in the home, and
nobly did she fill that place. That she
had not been wholly uninstructed in
even elegant learning is evidenced by
