Opening the Doors.

One might be forgiven for suppos-
ing that there could be but one way
Of opening a door. says the "Phila-
delphia Ledger" In this matter, as
in others. however, there is a right
and a wrong way and the latter is
almost invariably the way in which
the unframed servant proceeds to
open the door.
The visitor rings, and. after some
time, hears a sound as OF galloping,
then heavy breathing, and the door
is opened few inches while the
he does not appear dangerous the
aperture is widened by few more
inches. and the domestic holds par
ley. clinglng tightly to the portal
meanwhile. This dislike to opening
wide the door is a marked idiosyn-
Grassy among women OF the servant
class-a survival, perhaps, Of the
days when it was not always safe
to parley with strangers in the gate,
or perhaps it is that, In the social
circle from which the general ser
want springs, the visits OF irate
creditors may be feared; anyway.
the fact remains that almost all
servants have to be taught to open
the door.
The fate Of the visitor in the
charge of an unframed domestic,
when he does at length gain access
to the house, is varied. In one case
a lady was asked by the maid il
she would prefer to be shown into
the dining room or the parlor; in
another the caller was thrust into
the midst of Christian Science
meeting. Sometimes the visitor is
left in the hall until the higher au-
thorities decide what shall be done

LOVE TODAY.

BY JOHN A. JOYCE.
How the heart responds to friendship
When we hear from day to day
That the dearest friends and loved
ones
From the world have passed for
aye.
Then the good in human nature
Bubbles up so sweet and true
When we miss old friends and kindred
Gone to starry realms of blue.
Do not wait for death to take them,
Let lis give our hearts full sway;
If you have sweet love and blossoms,
Give them quickly; give today.
Sighs and tears will never bring bach,
ANY head that's pillowed low,
Ne'er we'll clasp the form beloved
In that sad. sweet "long agor'

Women Lawyers.

In an interview published in the "Bos-
ton Record. Miss Amy Acton gave some
Interesting details in regard TO the spe-
cialized work of women lawyers. She
said:
There are a number of women law
yers in Boston who have been very sue
cessful in special lines of practice, such
as conveyancing, probate and corpora
tion law, but l do not consider special
ization essential to success in the prac-
tice OF law. l take everything that
comes along. and 1t seems to come along
all the time. have been practicing law
for the past eight years, and during that
time have had general practice.
1T is hardly time yet to institute COM
parisons that can be considered valua-
BILE, because there are not enough of
us who have been practicing law long
enough to allow a fair comparison to be
made. Miss Bridges, who has an office
here. has been in practice but two years,
but has enough TO do. Among the wo-
men lawyers who have specialized is
/ NhAoo ~. Nhp 10 thSeSNN IA
conveyancing and examining titles for
the metropolitan water board. She has
fine position.
"Of course. some things are open to
men lawyers that are not open to wo-
men, and vice versa; there are things
open to women that are not open to
men.
II don't find that am handicapped in
the practice of law because l am wo-
man. l go into court and try anything
I have to try. I tried a divorce case
In Middlesex county not long ago, and l
tried two cases within two weeks of
my admission to the bar, and have been
| trying cases ever since.
'In one way women have the advan-
tage Of men in practicing law; they
have the confidence of women. have
women coming in to see me all the
time. Some of them come from Cape
Cod and some OF them from the western
part of the State, and they all express
their pleasure in finding that they can
come to a woman to present their cases
for them. Property laws are becoming
so ameliorated that women of means
are enabled to handle their own prop
orty with more freedom than formerly,
and these women are putting their
business into the hands OF women law
yers. Up to 1873. when the law was
changed. married women had very little
to say or do with property. The law OF
1902, equalizing property rights in de-
ceased spouse's estates, has widened'the
scope and increased the power of wo-
men over property. Then. too, more
women are going into business than
formerly and they are employing wo-
men lawyers

There is subject of exceeding interest to Wash

NATSU-SAN.
By oNoTo WATANNA.

When Natsu lived the fields were all
alive
And perfumed. sweet with cherry
blossoms wild;
And overhead the redbirds made their
nests
And sang in concert with the half
caste child.
When Natsu died the sun. all blazing
red,
Sank suddenly behind blue-gray
cloud
The blowing, restless pine trees scarce
ly stirred;
Each mourned for her within its snowy
shroud.
When Natsu lived the flashing sunshine
smiled
And played In rapture on her mid
night hair;
1t Ioitered glad in her deep purple
eyes,
And kissed the russet cheeks and lips
so rare.
When Natsu died the passions bloom
had fed,
And white and cold and pure and still
she lay;
The sweet lips dumb, the speaking eyes
now closed;
The wistful questioning gone. alas!
for aye.
Past rice fields, whence the summers
grace had flown,
Where wintry wind-wraiths chanted
dirges wild,
They bore her gently-they who ne'er
had known
The red barbarian's child.

THE REMAINS OF PLINY.

Just outside of Pompeii an ancient
country inn has been uncovered. Here
the skeletons OF seventy or eighty per-
sons have been found evidently fugi-
tives from the great eruption. Twenty
of these evidently belonged TO a party
OF rank and wealth. Gold necklaces
bracelets and rings were found upon
their necks, arms and fingers. One per-
son among them seems TO have been of
special importance. Canizzaro suggests
that these are the mortal remains of
Pliny the Elder. who was killed in OBJ
serving the eruption of Vesuvius on
that fatal day so manv centuries ago.
