MISS DAISY DoUD.

keepers were expected to sail in from their speelS of rock at each election time to cast their votes at Bush and Market streets. They did so as faithfully as the dwellers in the city, but, unlike the lat ter, no kind board of supervisors, no perspicacious school director, did thing for them. Numerous efforts were made to have the city and county defray at least some part of the school expenses. but until Miss Doud entered tho field no result was obtained. Now 1t will be diff ferent.
 Two months ago Miss Doud who is a handsome, intellectual young woman, made up her mind that tho Farallones were just the place for her There was plenty of air, an excellent opportunity to study aerial navigation as exempliiied in the flights of the gull, and, above all for one who desired to study, no distinc- tion in @ social way. Napoleon at St Helena was nowhere. Taking these con, siderations with another one-that she really desired to teaeh--Miss Doud, who is niece of Mrs Nettie Wood of the Hearst Grammar school, made an appli- cation for tho position. The school board met and considered the matter and it appointed a committee to ascer, tain just where the Farallones came in on tho school map, and decided that the rocks were in the San Francisco school district, and, further, that there were ten children, sufficient to warrant the running of q school the educational year around. Having so decided, Miss Doud's application was favorably con sidered, and she was duly appointed
 The young lady, whose pleasing per sonality is certain to increase the attrac- tions Of the islands to those who are forced to stay there, was happy at her good fortune She Is ready to go the mo ment her appointment is made out and the boat comes to take her off. Ii the Lghtkeepers only knew how lucky they are in securing such pleasing young woman to teach their progeny, they would not delay the hour of her arrival San Francisco Chronicle.
 Evolution of Women.
 Mir. Gleeson White discusses in Gas. sells Family Magazine the subject of the evolution of women. Mir White appi0aehes the matter from an artistic staadpoint There are, he re- marks, several distinct aspects of beau ty-beauty of form, beauty of coloii beauty of wit and beauty of pathos. but the ideals embodying them have not been evolved in the above nor i'll any order, nor has any one preserved its en- tire supremacy for long The matchless head of Aphrodite still appears absolute iy satisfying to cultured taste today, bus when you see it translated to color, as Albert Moore often re-embodied it, tn | is something lost. At the best Mr. Whi'e considers tho Greek and Roman typ0s are unconditional and do not awaken more than msthetic rapture, for i'll those days even portraiture aimed to elevate the individual te 6 ttJyr type De-
 tie would have us go back to Reyn- olds Ill order to find the highest type or the modern ideal Sir Joshua's DOT trait of Lady William Gordon caught the pathos of the Madonna ideal with the intelligence that has become the woman's share. Ill the Botticelli vlr- gins, or the Raphael, sweet forgive ness Is absolute. Ill tho types of Reyn olds and Gainsborough, to this charm IS added q sense of justice and q distinct snbstratum of wit and vivacity. III snort the lady, has been evolved, noe the saint or the chatelaine, the minis tering angel or the bluesto,lSing, but the true woman who can be all these.
