always remember these two facts con-
corning her-she opened the way fol
woman's employment on the daily
newspapers; she was the mother and
founder of women's clubs. Two Amer
lean women before her had been known
as contributors to newspapers, but
they were never regularly members OF
the home staff of one. These were

still lives. She was present at the Oc' |
tober meeting of the New York Wom'
ans Press club, and Mrs. Croly intro |
duced her to the audience in a few
graceful, tender words. In response
Grace Greenwood, who wrote Euro
pean letters for Horace Greeley, made a

1t is strange that more women do not
carry on the business Of farming. A
woman of brains and determination

people, and it is time to drop it out Of
