WHERE DIVORCE IS EASY.

Divorce is even more easily managed
in Syria than 1t is in America, for in
America there are at least some law
court proceedings to be gone through,
whereas in Syria three words spoken
by the husband will do the deed and
put the woman out Of the house.
These words spoken. the wife drops
whatever work she may be engaged I'm.
takes her youngest child (the others be-
long TO their father) and goes back to
her fathers house. where she remains.
a disowned and degraded creature, until
another purchaser comes forward for
her. IL the woman's husband repent
and desire to have her back, he engages
professional tool-generally a half
witted person, who makes living in
this way--to marry her and divorce her
next day The reason of this is that a
man may not take back his divorced
wife unless she has since been married
and divorced by another man.

FAIRNESS TO WOMEN.

We have heard overmuch OF late OK
the fact that women have never become
artists or poets or creators o. the very
highest order, Judged by the male
standard. The insinuation is unfair be-
cause biased. Women have never had Q
real chance TO equal men and TO argue
that because they have never attained
the level of a Shakespeare or a Raphael
therefore they are inferior to men gen.
orally is TO condemn them because they
do not rise superior to the average man.
How often have men produced Shake.
speare or a Raphael? And men have
had the start OF centuries.
Take England only, have not two OF
the greatest. IL not the two greatest OF
her sovereigns been women? How
many men novelists are on a par with
George Eliot? Have not certain women
shown their ability to hold their own
lin scholarship with men in these days?
The average man is not the intellectual
equal of a Miss Fawcett.
The real handicaps women suffer are
domestic. They have to keep the home
beautiful while their husbands are
striving after those triumphs which
may mean Immortality. There is one
thing at any rate that the progress OF
women has proved. and that is that the
larger the voice women have in affairs
the higher are the moral ideals enter.

Dresses slightly Tucked.

The dresses themselves are slightly

with pure white lace and the green one
with brown Arabian lace. With the white
gown Polly wears a small nat made of
white roses with big. crumpled bow
and ends of louisine ribbon. When
the hat matches the dress, you cannot
imagine how charming the all white

er girl get two dresses at n slight cost

cient TO have long train behind: the
skirt IN front should lie little on the
ground so that no space whatever can
be seen between the lower edge and the
ground. You have no idea what a diff

Neither faction would yield an inch.
Then there was a third party that ap-
parently did not care whether Mrs.
Swansdown was guilty or not, having
troubles of their own in the shape OF
candidate for president. The two fight
ing factions at length agreed on a
compromise. A meeting should be call

serve strict neutrality and let the third
party that was supposed TO be unpretu-

nounce finally on the great question.

TIME lady teachers who sailed
gayly away from Pacific ports
by tens. by thirties and by
sixties TO Jour burning bright
isles of the sea In the far east
are at length beginning 10 understand
themselves the Spanish language and
their pupils. OF these ladies there are
three classes-those who went. 10 see
the world and meet fresh adventures.
those who went with the expectation
certainly OF fulfilling their pedagogic
duties 10 the utmost. but az the same
time finding ways in those rich isles TO
better themselves financially beyond
the receiving of mere teachers wages
and why not land. finally, the compar-
atively small third class that started in
the true missionary spirit OF enlighten-
ing the benighted natives and lifting
them up 10 the plane of civilization, so
called. Those who went 10 better them
selves while they teach and those who
sailed on the missionary crusade alike
hail in many instances from New Eng
land.
The remarkable perspicacity OF the
United States government is specially
instanced in its sending teachers OF
sewing at 81 200 year gold and trans
portation both ways TO instruct the
little brown Malay girls in the art OF
scanning. hemming. telling and hem
stitching when at any OF the places
where the schools Will be established in
the islands there is hardly a Malay wo-
man or girl who cannot already sew by
hand better than any Of the good Amer
lean ladies who have Travelled 10000
miles 20 instruct them. Any Tagalo
woman around Manila will show you of
her handiwork upon pima cloth speci-
mems so exquisite as TO put TO the blush
the best OF our vaunted art embroidery,
and as for mending darning and
patching these same native women
and girls can shut one eye and surpass
the neatest repairing that even a
Yankee housewife may put upon di-
lapidated garment. The Spanish nuns
taught the native girls and women TO
sew wonderfully. as the splendid altar
cloths and vestments in the Philippine
churches show. and they taught them
not much else, except to say their pray
ers, observe holy days and go 10 church
regularly. This the brown women and
girls do. to their credit, but the inher-
ent Christian virtues-morality, telling
the truth not coveting or stealing one S
neighbor's goods particularly the
neighbor who is ones employer-these,
alas, have never vet struck in on the
Filipino of either sex.

Ra1her Pleasant Life.

Socially. the bright spirited individ-
uals among the fine young women
teachers find life In the islands pleasant
enough. Now and then they group to-
gether and keep house in some worm
eaten. deserted old Spanish mansion
where aforetime lazy donnas slumbered
away their lives In siesta and dreamy
chocolate drinking. To keep a carriage
with a native driver costs not much in
the islands. The greatest expense Is
the feed for the little horses, because
the coachman purchases 1t and charges
two prices for IL and besides steals
enough of IL as he goes along TO buy
him resplendent white linen livery and
keep the animals from getting overfat.
