OUR "XoMAN's WORLD" COLUMN,

With this issue of The Oolorsd
American, we begin the publication of
a" Woman's Column" Edited by one
of Americas most brilliant women.
known for literary purposes as" Eu-
phemia Kirk" the department is bound
10 bea sparkling and efervesent centri-
button, and we are sure it will prove to
be one of this papers popular features.
Miss Kirk will discuss all the tissues"
and notions dear to the feminine heart
and she will throw out a great many
shafts of genuine wisdom, SO adroitly
concealed by chatty and vivacious
garb, that the victim will never detect
that she is being treated to a lecture.
Miss Kirk opens her career auspiciously
by taking the reader into her conf
dence, and contessing, without, pressure
that she knows it all, and therefore her
representations may safely be taken
without hunting up old encyclopedias
or othermusty literary tones for rev.
ification. She calmly assumes the
womanly right 10 have her own way,
to do or think as her fancy wills, and
to reach conclusions by any method
that suits her convenience. The Col
ored American has the utmost respect
for any member of the fair sex SO con.
stituted, and we bow to the inevitable
promptly, for the ultimate result would
be the same anyway. Miss Kirk ap-
pears to carry her facts with her, and
if any body is looking for an argument,
we know where we will place our
money. She will prove foeman wor-
thy of the finest steel, and can take care
OF herself in the warmest company.
The Colored American advises its
readers to confer with Euphemia Kirk
when in doubt over any knotty prob
lem. She is a wsman among women,
and can be depended upon.
