avaricious and insensible man too old

too happy by nature to indulge in

Occupations for Women.

When the young girl or woman
who has determined upon entering a
professional career is looking about
her she should not forget photography
as business.
AS yet this field has not, like many
another, been OVERLOADED by the
women who wish something to do.
The reason for this is easy to per-
ceive. To make a really successful
photof Tapher something more than a
willingness to succeed is necessary.
The first and positive requisite is that
the temperament of the would-be
photographer is an artistic one.
Women, in the majority, are of a
more artistic nature than their
brothers, and for this reason if for no
other they should make successful
photographers. Yet few women have
entered upon the taking of pictures as
a means of CANINE a livelihood. BY
reason of her artistic sense woman
should be able to pose a subject bet
ter than man, and she surely would
know how to arrange drapery in a
more artistic manner
Then, too, the sense that is
peculiarly woman's own would serve
her. Intuition, that can almost with
out fail be trusted, would here have a
great chance for play. To get the
true likeness of the subject is, of
course, the nbition of every photo
grapher. But how to tell when 1t is
expressed is not always easy to the
masculine mind. Here the woman s
sixth sense would be of invaluable
service, for she would feel when the

THE PERFECT WOMAN.

Many a woman has spent her time
wondering what trait in her sex man
most admires. The subject has been
discussed and haggled over for CEN
turtles to no purpose. The only thing
the poor woman can think now is
that a man wants her to be everything
that he for the moment desires and
nothing that he does not.
1t is said that no two men, having
seen Helen of Troy, described her in
like terms. She appeared to each as
the personification of his ideal, and
each therefore worshipped her.
What should a woman be to be all
to man? Consistency, faithfulness,
truth and honesty always command
admiration, to say nothing of respect,
btu man will perhaps say: GIVE me
the woman who is all devotion, whose
love is dependent and who is trust
ing"
The subject was discussed at a tea
the otner afternoon by three women,
one of whom mentioned the last SEN
tence. One of the others said:
ooh, yes, that's very nice when an
other man will say, L prefer the
woman who paddles her own canoe
who depends upon her own resources,
as you know"
Said the third: How f1attering it
is, isn't it, to hear man say: Give
me the woman who is good, but not
prudish; who loves a good time, but
tempers it with good judgment.
That's the kind of man l hate-who
thinks women are for amusement,
nothing else"
Just then two men came near and
one of the women turned around and
said, 'Mr. Blank, what trait do you
most admire in a woman?" This
came with such a bombshell effect
that the man seemd dazed, but being
newly engaged that fact may have
had something to do with his man.
ner. The man who was with him
turned around and said
IF you want my opinion I'll be very
glad to give it--that is, if you want
an unbiased opinion. might begin
by telling the things I don't admire
and then you could judge of what do,
but | won't do that. So will merely
say that she must be unselfish, con-
slant, not jealous, honest, intuitive
and, above all, love me more than any
one else in the world which will be
the best of ALL"
The three women looked at each
other and one said, What a pity it is
that he wants one of the heavenly
band, for there's no woman on this
rain-soaked earth that viii suit his
mightiness."

Some Table Hints.
There are some points of table
etiquette which should never be
neglected nor forgotten. The ear
marks of good manners are shown by
the way you handle your elbows at
the table. If you stick them right
out at each side of you, puncturing

right time came to snap the camera.
For the taking of children's por-
traits it would seem that women
were especially adapted. Not only
have they the patience that that
portion of the business must require,
but their love of the little creatures
would aid them in securing the best
results. The woman with the natural
maternal heart would know what
would please or amuse the restless
child, and be able to entertain it until
| in its happiest and brightest mood.
To the girl or woman who is forced
out into the work-a-day world, and
yet dislikes the barrenness and ugll-
mes of the usual office, the studio
should strongly appeal. Here can be
had not only refined and cultivated
atmosphere and surroundings, but a
decided home-like effect can easily be
had in the furnishings. In it the
abmitous woman may combine her de-
sire for business and her love for
home-like environment.
| To the woman who has not an over
amount of physical strength this pro-
| fession should appeal. While to sue
coed in any plane in life requires hard
work and constant application, still in
photography it is more nervous energy
than physical. The work is not
laborious and the results are so
quickly seen that it is a joy to ever
be seeking new ones.
In starting out in this profession
one way would be to begin as an ap-
prentice to a high-grade artist But
then so few men would be able to
give the attention and time that
novice would require. A small kodak
or camera and lots of patience is an
excellent way to begin and learn the
business from start to finish.

ments for women: Servants, 1881

Deficiency of Women.
The deficiency of women in Cape
Colony and throughout south Africa
presents an inviting field for women
who are weary of single blessedness,
for there is great shortage of fair
ones in that part of the world. So far
as can be learned the excess in num-
! bers of white males over the white
| females in British South Africa is as
follows: Cape Colony, 10000; Natal,
5000; Orange River Colony, 5000;
Transvaal $4,000; Rhodesia. 1900;

THE MARRIED LOVER.

Why, having won her, do | WOO?
Because her spirits vestal grace
Provokes me always to pursue,
But, spirit-like, eludes embrace;
Because her womanhood is such
That as on court days subjects kiss
The queens hand, yet so near touch
Affirms no mean familiarness.
Nay, rather marks more fair the hight
Which can with safety so neglect
To dread, as lower ladies might,
That grace could meet with dis
respect.
Thus she with happy favor feeds
Allegiance from love so high
That thence no false conceit proceeds
OF difference bridged, or state put
by;
Because, although in act and word
AS lowly as a wife can be,
Her manners, when they call me lord,
Remind me, It's by courtesy;
Not with her least consent of will,
Which would my proud affection
hurt,
But by the noble style that still
Imputes an unattained desert.
Because her gray and lofty brows.
When all is won which hope can
ask,
Reflect light of hopeless SHOWS,
That bright in virgin ether bask:
Because, though free of outer court
| am, this temple keeps it's shrine
Sacred to heaven; because, in short,
She's not and never can be mine.
Feasts satiate; stars distress with
hight;
Friendship means well, but misses
reach
And wearies in its best delight
Vex'd with the vanities of speech;
Too long regarded, roses even
Afflict the mind with fond unrest;
And to converse direct with heaven
Is oft labor in the breast;
Whate'er the up-looking soul admires.
Whate'er the senses banquet be.
Fatigues at last with vain desires,
Or sickens by safety;
But truly my delight was more,
In her to whom I'm bound for ave.
Yesterday that the day before,
And more today than yesterday.

the ribs of your neighbor and jogging

Again, do not sit with your elbows

but Humboldt remains practically the
only real authority upon the great
stream, which, rising on the frontiers

Venezuela, receiving in it's course such
immense tributaries as the Mela and
