A Serious Situation.

Barbara is very attractive girl,
about twenty-five years old. She has
girl cousin about her own age of
whom she is very fond. Her cousin is
engaged to young man whom they
have known all their lives. The girl
has, of course, the most implicit faith
in her lover and he is apparently de-
voted to her. Barbara has, however,
learned beyond the shadow Of doubt
that this young man is carrying on a
not very creditable filtration with a
woman in the nearest city, and that his
business trips are not altogether occu-
pied by commercial affairs. She asks
what is her duty in the matter. Should
she interfere in any way? Should she
speak to the young man or tell her
cousin or leave things as they are and
see if, as time goes on, the young man
will not give up his other affair? He
is very head strong and high tempered,
and she fears it might make serious
trouble. Answer, 1t is almost always
the case that the person who attempts
to interfere in such cases gets no
thanks and great deal of abuse. OF
course, the young man ought to be ex-
posed, and if Barbara is willing to take
the chances she might go to her cousin
with positive proofs and then let her
follow her own inclinations as to the
| future.

Adapted for the Work.

One who has made thorough inves-
tigation of the subject says that of the
700 members of the American Library
Association the large majority are
women. There are various reasons
why this calling is pre-eminently a
woman's. The bump OF order seems
to be much more developed in woman
than it does in the sterner sex. The
work requires patience and prompt
ness, two virtues which women possess
in high degree, and does not require
hard physical labor. They are not ex-
posed to the same unpleasant inf1u-
ences and the liability of discourteous
treatment that fall so often to the
share of the women in the mercantile
world Besides all this, she comes in
contact with more intellectual and
cultivated class of people, and in this
one profession there is really no sala-
ried discrimination on account. of sex,
for she receives an adequate compen-
sation. This has been demonstrated
practically by the fact that as the more
important positions became vacant,
even though previously filled by men,
or new ones created, women have al
most invariably received the appoint
ments.
