Woman is not an experiment nor a
novice in modern journalism. She is
almost a necessity. She has eyinced
her aptitude for certain work in such
thorough and emphatic manner that
we wonder in some instances how we

of. Others have pushed themselves to
the front in suci- decided manner as
to force themselves to the notice Of
the public.

is we'll known, but whose personality
is as unknown to the public as it is to

her contributions and correspended with
her for years without coming in con-
tact with her, is Miss Madeline, S.
