VIM Women Make Good Lawyers
By FANNIE HALLOCK CARPENTER.
,idenf Of the Neu Yo,A Women Lxuysrs' Club.

ZINE Of the things that are drawing an increasing number of wonr-
~ en- to the study of law is the feminine gift for detail.
Is Many people, looking at law from the outside, think of it as
something large and mysterious. instead OF which II is a matter
of small accuracies. In legal work women find a multiplication OF deh-
mite, exact Titles, for dealing with which their naiyc orderliness, nicely
and passion for going into particulars seem especially suited.
Under present day conditions office practice is nine-tenths OF legal
work. While women succeed in court, it is for office practice that they
appear particularly gifted. In the drawing up OF legal papers and the
search for references in the preparation OF cases womcns thorough
ness and conscientious patience serve them in good stead.
The same |fathfulncss and reliability that cause women to be pre-
fcrred as stcnographers make them as lawyers proficient in The office.
Indeed. numbers of women have passed into law from stcnography.
Having learned the routine of a lawyers Office, they attend law classes
10 gain a theoretical understanding OF the work and make themselves
more valuable to their employers; from this they pass to a serious study
of the profession.
In New York the number of women engaged in the practice of law
increases slowly but steadily. The work Of these women is quiet ard
anobtrusive, but progress is substantial.

Woman and Her Books.

II IS the book woman marks that Is
the only true index to her character.
This conclusion has been arrived at
after a long and persistent study of the
sex. A woman never marks a book
openly, as man does, with flourish OF
marginal notes and references convey
ing the impression that he Is conversant
with other books besides this one. He
who has a pencil always handy will
think nothing of using 1t on any and
all occasions. 1t is like entering the
holy of holes to read books that some
women have marked. 1t Is a violent
rending asunder Of the veil which she
hangs before the door Of her heart.
The marks with which woman scores
her favorite passages at eighteen will
be effaced at twenty. and she must have
changed but little TO leave those OF
twenty une1faced at twenty-ive.-New
York World.

w.ics.. slower Mt Night.

"You know that the vital energies are
at lower ebb at night than in the day
time" said an old matchmaker. Would
YOU believe that some watches-espe-
cially the cheaper ones-are similarly
affected?
"You know q good matchmaker al
ways wants several days In which to
regulate q tlmepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate II properly Is
to compare II with chronometer at
the same hour every day. Otherwise
the variations in the speed OF the watch
will battle his efforts.
"The man to whom | was apprenticed
told me this. and l thought the idea ab-
surd. We were working late one night
and he called my attention 10 a lot OF
watches that were regulated and ready
TO deliver. 1t was near midnight, and
every watch was slow. The better
timepieces had Jagged behind some sec
onds. The cheaper watches were a
minute or more out of the way. Next
morning every one OF the lot was ex-
actly right.
'gThe fact is you can regulate watch
to make exactly twenty-fOur hours a
day. but you can't persuade 1t to make
lust sixty minutes in each Of the twen-
ty-four hours. Why this is no one can

Walt whitman ms n Journalist.

Walt Whitman was not much OF

His employers called II lazincss. He
was concerned with permanences. The
nearer 20 nature, the more repOse.
Trees and hills do not dance except
for urging. Whitman, elemental. strong.
placid. bovine. did not urge them.
In the Brooklyn Eagle Office Whit
man is clearer memory than in the
office OF IT'S contemporary. Yet II IS
oddly hard TO secure facts. There is 4
general and joking reference to his
serenity as idlencss. He was not a
typical newspaper man, for he was not

day of precision and speed he would
have been impossible. He never feIt
that stress from which the veriest no.
hemian suffers. He did not want mon
ey enough TO work hard for II. One or
the coterie OF writers and actors which
used to squander its much wit and III
tie wealth at Pfaffs tells me that or
the whole party Whitman was the only
one who was never tipsy and never
broke" He always had a market
somewhere for fugitive writings. Eol-
tors were friendly to him. He drank
his beer with the rest. but It's ehect
was TO make him thoughtful. even sad'

poxyer of the United states Senate

The senate is today the most power
ful single chamber In any legislative
body in the world, but this power,
which is shown daily by the wide at
tention to all that is said and done in
the senate Of the United States, Is not
the product of selfish and cunning usur-
pations on the part of an ambitious
body. 1t is due to the original consti'
tuition Of the senate, to the fact that
the senate represents states, to the pow
ers conferred upon il at the outset by
the makers of the constitution. TO its
permanency Of organization and TO the
combination Of legislative. executive
and judicial functions which sets II
apart from all other legislative bodies.
Without the assent of the senate no
bill can become law, no office can be
filled, no treaty ratiied.-Henry Cabot
