Pluck of a baltimore Girl.

To have successfully concluded an
arduous three years course in school
of law. to have made admirable rec
ords as compared with those of her
classmates of the masculine gender, to
have passed the necessary examina-
tions and to be graduated as bache-
lor of law. and yet to be denied the
privilege of being admitted to the bar
to practice her profession is the fate
Of Miss iIaynie Maddox.
Although it is against the law of
Maryland for women to practice, Miss
Maddox says that she intends to make
a determined effort TO be allowed TO do
so, and thus open new field for wom-
en- in Maryland. Miss Maddox is of
the opinion that as women are allowed
to practice law in thirty-seven States
of the Union she will eventually gain
admission to practice in Maryland.
Miss Maddox is the first Baltimore
woman who has ever graduated from
a Maryland school of law. She is well
known in musical circles, not only in
Baltimore. but also in Washington.

madras, grass linen, Swiss and all
similar fabrics, India silk, crepe de
chine, taffeta and the like and all soft
woods are equally suitable.
The back is smooth and snug, with
two groups OF tucks that are drawn
together at the waist to give a becom-
ing, tapering effect. The fronts are
tucked in three groups and are rem
dered unique by the extension on the
right edge, which is closed with small
pearl buttons in groups of three. The
sleeves are in bishop style. tucked
nearly to the wrists. where they fall

1t is said that the baby princess OF
Italy, Lolanda Margherita. Is re-
markably healthy child, with dark
eyes, neither black nor blue, good
appetite and a strong pair of lungs.
She is the second princess born in the
House of Savoy since the birth of her
grandmother, Queen Margherlta, fifty
years ago and no other baby has ever
had the honor of coming into the
world in the old Quirinal Palace, as
this was, until 1870. the home Of the
Popes. Mrs. Dickens. the English
woman chosen as her attendant, has
the direction of almost every detail in
the care OF the royal baby, except her
clothing. This consists of long linen
bands, in the traditional fashion .of
Italy, which coniine the legs to a GER
tain extent, but leave the arms free.

Edward Everett seems to me, ON the

all these his matchless oratory was
but an instrument and incident.
But Everett is always the orator He
was a clergyman little while. He
was Greek professor little while.
He was college president a little
while. He was Minister TO England a
little while. He was Representative
in Congress and Senator He was
Governor of the Commonwealth. In
these places he did good service
enough to make high reputation for
any other man. Little of these things
is remembered now He was above

trees stood right in his path,
