A GIRL GARDENER.
Miss Jones Designs Grounds and Is
Getting Rich.

Landscape gardening in the eyes of
Miss BeatriX Jones, has attractions supe-
rior to those of society. She has adopted
Ii seriously as profession and finds 1t
ever so much more stimulating than
dances and dinners.
Miss Jones is daughter Of Mrs. Cad
walader Jones and belongs to the Four
Hundred Of New York but she eSteemS il
n far greater distinction that she is the
first woman landscape gardener in this
country and that she has been chosen Il
member of the Executive Committee of
the American Society of Landscape Archi-
tectS.
Landscape architecture is the modern
name for this fascinating pursuit, and 1t
is really more fitting than the older TERM
since gardening implies the cultivation of
plants rather than the laying out of parks
and grounds according to artistic stand
ards.
In the two years that she has devoted to
her calling Miss Jones has achieved no
table results, says q writer in the Home
Magazine" She has designed the grounds
for several new residences at Bar Harbor
and other resorts OF fashion. One Of her
most recent patrons VAS Edgar Scott, OF
Philadelphia who has established himself
next to George w. Vanderbilt's estate.
Miss Jones does her designing in STU
dio that she has fitted up for herself in
her mothers home in New York. There,
surrounded by objects of art, she works
hard over her drawing board, planning
how to mold forest and lawn and shrub
land so that they will simulate the Wild
est effects Of nature or the falrest groves
of antiquity.

PoRTIA IN PARIS.
Women UnweIcome Before the liar
of France.

An important discussion affecting wcjnen
| lawyers took place in the French Senate
November 10. a proposition due to NJ. TIL
laye was presented tending TO PRINT
women who have obtained the dipiorlas OF
| licentiates at law to take oaths as advo-
| Gates and to practice in open court. By a
| decree of the Paris Appeal Court III 1897,
says Il Paris letter to the London Stand
ard, this right was denied to women like
Mile. Chauvin, who had passed a brilliant
examination for law degree. The lady,
by the way. was present in the Senate dur

Tiliaye, who 4 few days ago logically argu-
ed that If the liberal careers were opened
to women in the universities and If they
were permitted to practice medicine and to
take law degrees they should also be au-

the proposition in the Senate. his remarks

them for judgeships or for the higher po-

ABOUT WOMEN WORKERS.
Here Are Two Sides to nm Interest
ing Question.

Mrs. Creighton, the wife of the Bishop
Of London, made a bold assertion at
Brighton recently, Wien she said 1t would
not be for the general good that every
girl should be brought up to earn her own
living. Her argument was that there is
so much voluntary intellectual, social, and
philanthropic work to be done in the
world, that all who can should devote
themselves TO it, says London Lady
1t can hardly be said, however, that n
lady Is any the less fitted for social or
philanthropic work because she is able
to earn her own living, and the common
sense of the day points to the fact that
in view of the enormous changes that are
perpetually going on every girl, whatever
her present position in life, ought to be
capable of supporting herself If 1t ever
becomes necessary. The most carefully
invested fortunes sometimes vanish. Even
deposits of gold and silver are from time
10 time worked out, mines become flooded,
commerce takes a contrary turn. and new
discoveries make old sources OF income
obsolete. II is practically impossible to
secure money without the possibility that
IL will, so to speak, take to itself wings
and fly away, and every girl should be
prepared for the emergency that may or
may not come.
There is another side to the question
Of woman earning her own living that,
perhaps. neither the speaker nor her au-
dience thought of. II certainly is not for
the general good that wealthy women,
finding themselves capable Of earning
money, should do so at the expense of
their sisters. The old fashioned phrose
was that those who did so were taking
the bread out of the mouths OF others
who really needed II. and there is a great
deal too much OF this kind of thing at
the present day. There are many jour
nalists and writer's on other lines, as well
as illustrators, whose actual bread and
butter and, perhaps. that Of helpless or
aged relatives depends on their getting
the work they have been trained for, very
often at considerable expense. But there

Love is like 4 caterpillar. You would
think from the looks of it that it never
would have the sense to fly.
The average woman hasn't much use
for husband who won't let her pretend
that she made him lots Of trouble to get
her.
Probably the Malays got their idea Of

take her baby carriage to street pa
rade.
One difference between a man and a
