l,come imnatient with her sister who lives
as the flowers do. accepting with delight
the sunlight of prosperity says Mary
r. Baldwin in the April "Woman's Home
COMPANION" in the course of an article
entitled "a Sort of Contempt"
1T has been something of a fashion to
imagine that the contempt was on the
side of the woman who held what are
called the advantages of life; but it is
really true that those who nave been
given wealth. position and opportunities
are more guilty of regarding their fellow
creatures. less favored, with scorn than
those who are below them. Among broad
minded women socialistic tendencies are
being stamped out. Their hands are no
longer AGAINST what we call the upper
class of society. equality means to them
a. common right to develop the best that
Is in them. not a community of privilege
in the worlds goods; not the opportunity
for q like service. nor the same sort of
Measure. and the one who has learned
to realize the worth of a separate in
ditiduality. and feels that her work Is
a part of her birthright, is truly a phi
losopher. She will not envy the careless
! creature whose lot has been cast amid
1 the enchantments of the world. She Will
! rather pity her that she is emanclpated
from those struggles and perpiexltles
which are such excellent schooimasters
in teaching sympathy for others.
But, after all, are we sure that the
majority of favored women do not possess
the larger significance Of pity? So many
times We have had proofs that a SOFT
heart dwelt in an elegantly attreo oooy,
that it is not wise to conclude that one
must feel the stress OF poverty ana us
limitations in order to extend pity ana
help to the needy. Waiting one oay at
a lace-counter, the eyes OF a customer
cast furtive chances at a lovely cleaeue
who had evidently FED on the roses anu

Of the word. that ever lived, namely,
Queen Victoria's second daughter, the
dead and gone Princess Alice of Hesse-
Darmstadt writes to her august mother:
"What an error it is to bring up one's
! daughters with the only aim of getting
them married. T should like to have them
hro,,ebt m without thinking about that.
! and in a way so as to their
mission in life in a different manner.
Marriage for marriage sake is assuredly
tbe greatest error a woman can commit.
Ana this ~gentlewoman. in spite of her
high p~osition had also her great trials
in life hut she did not pose and shout
aho,,t them. and that is the reason why
T sbo,,,d lika tbe movement set on foot
n erect .. statre to her at Darmstadt to
succeed. And if I had any voice in the
selection of the superscription. I would
s,,eges+ the following. Marriage is a
granting process which succeeds or fails
in proportion to the seriousness of the
woman" For Love is not onlv blind hut
sometimes deaf besides. and .
