THE COMING WOMAN

IN GERMANY.
The London Graphic has the following
to say of the standing OF woman in Ger
many:
Although German poets vie with one
another in extolling the eternal femin-
inc IDEAL, there is no country where the
emancipation of woman. which forms the
great feature of modern life among our
selves and in the United States, has made
so little progress. An amusing instance
of this occurred some days aS5 in the
Prussian Chamber of Deputies, on an in
terpeIlation as to the right of women to
take part in political meetings. The Min
lister of the Interior, with his hair on
end, his face pale with emotion and
voice quivering with excitement, replied
that although it would not legally be per-
MISSILE to bar the door against wo-
man desirous of attending political
gathering, every possible means should
be taken to prevent her from speaking.
In other words he declared, amid cheers
from the greater part of the House, that
women, like children, should be seen but
not heard. Womenphobla has always
been a German characteristic. The ad-
mission of women into the civil service
met with the most violent opposition in
Germany long after female clerks and
telegraphists had been successfully en-
ployed In England and in France. The
right of women to practice medicine was
called in question only three years ago,
when committee of experts declared
that the idea was too rreposterous to be
seriously discussed. In 1899 proposal
to establish gymnasia for girls was lik-
ened by the Prussian Minister of Wor-
ship to a little spark which should be
put out at once. lest II should break into
a flame But there are many signs that
even the German woman Is growing Inn
patient of her part as upper housemaid,
and In the consciousness of being think
ing entity, with separate life OF her
own, demands to take her share in the
national public life."

"On account of a greater flow Of
