D.s Bachelor Girls Future.

4 wcll-known thinker and orator ex-
pressed the opinion in a recent address
that all the end of the century agitation
about the new woman and her oDpOr-
tunities would presently subside. and
that in the years to come her best and
noblest sphere would remain. as il had
always been. the holding of the minds
and morals of the coming generations
and making the homes. and therefore
creating the happiness of mankind: in
other words, the rearing of children and
keeping house. This is all very we'll
for those who marry, said 4 bachelor
girl to u New York Tribune writer, but
statistics so to show that from one cause
or another the percentage of those who
remain single is on the increase, and the
question of what is to become of the
women who never marry, or who, as is
often the case nowadays, marry after
30. remains more important than ever
Even If her circumstances do not force
her to become a bread winner. almost
every intelligent girl who has been out
in society for several years finds her
life unsatisfactory. OF course she can
take up some special line of study or cul-
tivate her various talents. but as every
one knows. work without a definite OBJ
ject is like food without salt-there Is
no life in 1t, and it cannot sustain the
interest.
Moreover, if girls with well-todo par
.entS, who are not forced by necessity to
work. find this stagnatiOn almost intol-
cradle, what must it be to young women
who feel that they ought to earn their
own living, and find that they are fitted
for nothing? To such a one the un-
equal struggle ahead of her seems dreary
indeed. because she knows that by rea-
son of her education and the prejudice
which still exists she can probably never
succeed in amassing a competence, for
it is sadly true that the class we call
successful among men-the wealthy mid
dle-aged citizen who owes his prosperity
to his own eXertiOn-is practically I'M
known among women.
The woman who works will probably
go on working at her underpaid daily
tasks to the end, with her ambitions
all laid on the shelf, content if able TO
earn the stipend necessary for her daily
existence or those who are dependent
upon her One Of the blessings given
to women by the new century should be
to educate her as her brothers are edu-
Gated, with the idea of choosing and
working at some profession or business
as soon as her education is finished.
without any regard to her parents abil
ity to support her. If she marrieS early
and does not avail herself of her priyi
Ieges, there is no harm done; if not, she
has & career and can follow it with
some chance OF success For a young
woman to work now means that for pc
cuniary reasons she is obliged to, but
if the above result could be brought
about she would work in order to be-
come indepndent and happy. De

You Should Remember.

To keep your shoe strings tidy and
tied.
To rebiud or have rebound as soon Ms

To see that your placket fastener is
the proper kind and serves its purpose
To dress quite as neatly when wearing
the garment which covers multitude
of sns''-a raglan-as if your whole at
tire were visible and open to criticism.
TO see that the skirt worn during the
day is thoroughly brushed aud shaken
before being hung up. Dust is almost

Literature is the final expression OF
human thought. If women can lay
claim to a special faculty Of intuition.
why do they not manifest it in their
writings? Intuition, if it means any
thug. means the faculty that gets down
tics aud focuses external traits into a
central verify recognizable TO the general
public. Now there are more female
writer's than male. No woman poet has
ever written an inevitable line. a line
that flashes Spontaneously out of the un-
known and casts an Illuminating light
upon the abyss. Woman has added prac-
tically nothing to our stock of familiar

How Women Breathe.


Women breathe with the upper part
Of the lungs almost exclusively. this be-
cause of the restrictions placed on the
abdominal and intercostal walls by mod
iSh attire and cOrSets. However. the new
straight front corsetS are constructed
with Il view to allowing greater dia-
phragmatic latitude, and some of them
are built on absolutely hygicnic lines. If
these be properly fitted and no attempt
made ut tight lacing-which is really i'll
this athletic day and generation not fash
ionable-there should be no impeachment
to deep and normal breathing. If WON
en- only knew the double value in this
combination of the new hygienic corset
with broad and low bust cores and wide
hip gOresJ and deep breathing habitually
employed. they would realize that they
were at last on the way of discovering
the perfect bust developer. The so-caled
new figure which is really the time-old
figure intended by nature and art, is but
the inevitable outcome of the athletic
tendencies Of the new woman, who in
dulges in such healthful sports and recre-
ationS that right breathing has been
forced on her, whether She would or
not as any form of gymnastic exercises
or athletic activity accelerateS respira-
ton, quickeniDg the breath and giving
an undeniable impulse to breath deep
and long. Hence the chest expansion,
Of the new military carriage aud the
vigorous physique Of the up-to-date
woman. Also the good. clean. animated
skin and the bright, clear eyes, for reSpi-
ration is the function which aerates the
blood. relieving it of its impurities The
absorption of oxygen into the lungs re-
suits in the combustion Of the diseased
or dead element of the blood, this gem
Grating carbonic acid gas, which is
thrown off into the air in the act Of cx-
piration or exhalation. This being n
deadly posison-the product Of the effete
tissues of the entire body, which reaches
the lungs in the ven0us blood-it requires
but little knowledge to recognize the
system again.-Truth.

Letter Writing Fads.

Two things make the letters Of women
of today different from those written by
their mothers and grandmothers. The
first of these IS the disappearance of tn"
postscript The photographers continue
to make jeSts about the gisC OF the aver
age girls letter being contained in the L.
s., but it isn't true. The modern epistle
flows on uninterruptedly until the sig
nature is reached. There's no after
thought.
The really up-to-date person thinks it's
very sloppy and in bad taste to mar the
appearance of the sheet by adding Il sec
ton after she has signed her name. ami
so the woman's letter of nowadays is
just like the mans letter, sans post
script.
The other difference has to do with
writing across the sheets. Certainly sta
tiOnery must have been scarce in the
| sos, for where will you find Il wOman's
letter bearing the date of that decade in
which the sheets are not written, first
horizontally and then crosswise. TO form
| little squares!
How the recipients of these communi-
cations ever succeeded in reading them
| is Il mystery. AS far as the writer is
concerned. she picked up such crazy
work of chirography only yesterday, but,
though she was very anxious to know
what her grandmother had written in
/ those early DAYS, Sne COulu not get past
! the opening sentence. All the rest was
absolutely undecipherable so closely was
it penned. Yet this grandmother was a
wealthy woman, who did not have to
economic, and no doubt she was no
more penur4ous than were other peoples
ancestors, for even the men occasionally
| wrote across.
! Thank goodness, this is not one Of the
| faults of tie day. 1t must be admitted
that it is sometimes difficult to find the
| beginning of letter of the period, for
! it may be on the front page or it may
be on the back or on one of those inside,
and, once found. the thread is not easily
followed since the eccentric ideas of each
writer are law enough MS to the course
to pursue-and some go one way and
some another.
| But the person of resources can always
| finally find the route, and then reading is
easy. To be sure. the writer did only
recently read the third page second when
she should have read the fourth but she
never found it out until days afterward,
50 where were the odds?
| We have faults of our own in this gen
/ Grafton of correspondents. to be sure,
but so long as they don't consist .f a
| fad for pOstscripts or for getting two
| sheets OF matter on one sheet of paper
! they are bearable.-Baltimore News.

NeoshO Navigable.

lola, March T. There is
not a town in Kansas which has
a better water course than has
lola. The dam on the river
backs water in the Neosho SC
that it is navigable Tor a light
boat from five to eight miles,
but there to fore the necessity OF
walking a mile to the river and
a mile back has made more peo-
pie neglect this pas,ime. With
street cars runing rigat to the
landing, as will be the case
soon everybody will turn natural
" to the river to escape sum-
mer heat. The hrst step in this
direction has been taken by
Leigh,Hunt who is having a pow
er launch built here in town. 1t
will be 22 feet long and six feet
wide and will be driven by a
screw propeller. Power will be
furnished by a six horse power
gasoline engine which will
make the boat slip through the
water at a lively gait. The
launch will have a seating capac-
ity of abou, 20 and will be a
great help 10 the owner in case
he wants to 60 picknicking. 1t
is not known whether this boat
will be for rent or not, but it
seems likely there will be rent
able launches on the river before
summer comes.
