For and About women.

Miss Wainwright and Miss Schroeder. the
latter a daughter of the governor of Guam
have just entered Washington society. The
young women are great-great-granddaugh'
tiers OF Benjamin Franklin.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lowell Hancock Wood OF
Brookline, Mass, a descendant of John
Hancock, has p%etitioned the probate court
of Boston to appoint her attorney admin
istrator of the estate of the revolutionary
leader and signer of the Declaration OF In
dependence.
There is Q remarkHpie community in
Abyssinia where the women, without hold
ing meetings or agitations. OF any kind,
have emancipated themselves. All the
women work hard, while the men are idle,
but by way of compensation the house and
all it contains belongs to the wife. At the
least unkind word she turns the husband
out at night, In storm or rain, and he can
not come back until he makes amends by
the gift of a COW. The wife considers 1t a
duty to abuse the husband, and IL she were
weak enough to show any love for him In
life OF grief at his death she would be
scorned by her tribe. The wife, without
any reason, may strike her tent and go,
taking with her one-third OF the joint pos
sessions. The husband. unless he is trav-
cling, may not live out of his tent.
