Women seldom find smiling man fas-
cinating. They are apt 40 distrust OF TO
find commonplace the man who is too
readily good humored They admire =
more complex nature, one which can dis

ure who seeks women's society constantly
and is altogether gallant, they treat wi.n
small respect They are necessary to him,
not he TO them.
But that women does not live who does
not find fascinating quality in the man

she will even allow IT TO direct Itself
against her own idiosyncrasy; or, rather,
that particular idiosyncTasy which Is not

who can consider her, who wins a wo-
mans heart and holds her allegiance
Perhaps no better Illustration of the way
not to do il could be made than John

amy of Tears" In this play Mrs. Par
bury loves her husband devotedly, but
way. She is what her husband calls Tex
igent."
There is Connecticut woman, says the
New York Times, who has a joke that
she is never tired of telling. The joke is
on some one who was not brought up to
believe that honesty is the best policy
and a cardinal virtue. The woman had
driven out into the country to visit some
relatives. They lived at some distance
from her home in Stamford, on a futm,
and one object of her visit was to bring
home some rich barnyard soil for her
plants. 1t was found, when they started
to get the soil that the most convenient
thing to get It in was an old ham bag.
This was firm and strong. and with the
soil wen packed in, would hold a con-
siderable quantity.
"There." said the woman's cousin. when
the bag was tied up "no one will ever
accuse YOU of cartlng dirt, for that looks
| exactly like a bona fide ham, and 1t Is
every bit as hard and solid. The bag Is
clean on the outside, and you Will not
even need to have 1t wrapped If your
| friends see 1t they viii envy you FOR nav
| ing a good country ham"
| The woman was well pleased the ham
| bag was put into the carriage, and she
| drove home When she reached the house
| she lifted out the dirt and set it just IN
side the gate while she drove around to
|
time, but when she returned that ham
| bag had disappeared and she never saw
| ii again 1t was annoying to lose the
soil she had taken such pains to get, but
| the joke was good enough 20 pay for the
| loss.
Il think that bag was the heaviest thing
ever lifted,' she says in telling the
story. at was twice as heavy q ham,
| and that ham bag was the biggest one
I have ever seen. Then the soil that was
| in H. 1t was just the thing for my plants,
| but not so agreeable in other ways as
| some that was less rich. ] can imagine
the feelings of the man-it must have.
| been a man to carry IL any distance-who
| carried off that bag, hot and persplring,
| having to hurry for fear of being discoV-
cred and then to open 1t and find nothing
but barnyard soil. People do get their
just dues in this world sometimes"
During the closing century, says
the Chicago Herald there has been
great advancement for women In re-
| gard to her work In the church. The
nineteenth century has opeued wide the
| pulpit doors to those qualified among
women in many denominations of Chris
| tians, and pastoral duties have been fully
| and gladly placed I'm her hands. Many
| faithful energetic woman called 10 be
| pastors wife has done splendid work IN
| visiting the sick caring for the poor and
! leading sous INTO tlt SuHsHitlF vi lihAh.
| That church hos always been considered
| specially favored which. IN addition to a
| good minister in the pulpit. could also
| boast of a pastors wife who could and
would In her own blessed way supplement
| her husbands work among his people. But
| the nineteenth century has seen women
| acting both as preachers and pastors with
great success. The QualSers have always
| sanctioned the preaching of women. Meth
| odists approved Susannah Wesley.
| The first woman in the world to be &C.
| clesias ticaly ordained was Rev. Anoln-
cite Brown Blackwell. who now resides
| in this city She was a graduate of Ober-
| lin and was ordained in 1852 she Is n
native Of New York state, though of New
| England ancestry. She was ordained IN
| South Butler Wayne county, New York,
| by the council called by the First Con-
gregational Church, but a Methodist min
| lister preached the ordination sermon. Rev.
OLYMPIA Brown was the next woman Or
| dained She was ordained at Malone, n.
| Y in June, 1863. She was the first wo-
| man ordained in the Universalist denomt-
nation. She was closely followed by Rev
| Augusta j. Chaplin. who was ordained III

to receive the title OF doctor OF divinity
| Next came the ordination OF Rev. Phoebe
| A. Hanafordt who was the first woman
to be ordained In New England. She wos
ordained at bingham, Mass, In 1868. II
| Is a noticeable fact mat all these Tour
| women were of notable New England de-
| scent.
Since the ordination of these women
| there have been more than sixty-perhaps
by this time a hundred-ordaned in vari-
| Gus denominations.
| The nineteenth century has advanced re-
Ugious influence in opening wide doors
for woman's work in the church. Woman
