FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

When Persian ladies pay calls they
throw roses at one another.
The first woman admitted by King
Edward to the Imperial Service order
is Miss NJ. C. Smith, who superintends
the women's branch of the savings
bank department in the general post
office. Miss Smith has been in the serv.
ice for nearly 80 years, having been a
pioneer in the movement for employ
ing women in the post office. She be-
gan with a staff of about 20 girls and
now has 800.
Eleanora Duse, the Italian TRACE
dienne, was discussing woman suf-
frage not long ago with male friend
The latter, by way Of poking fun at
the woman's rights movement said:
"Man was made first, you know, and
woman sprung from man. She is his
inferior or that would not be natural
The actress replied: 81 cannot agree
with you. 1t is natural for the flower
to come after the stem, but you surely
do not call that an evidence Of inferior,
ity."
A Syndicate of kitchenmaids" has
recently been formed in Persia, whose
| object is to restore woman to hen
rights in the kitchen, from which she
is being ousted by men cooks and wait
ers in hotels and restaurants. The
syndicate asserts that experienced
women cooks cannot get places anC
that women who want to fit themselves
for the place of chef are unable to OBJ
tain the training. 1t has therefore
petitioned Paris hotel keepers to EN-
ploy in their kitchens certain proper
ton of apprentice girl cooks"

ON THE PIER.

He was sitting alone at the end Of the long,

that runs rumbling along the Coronado
beach. The low-hangiug moon at his back

spangled sea and the purple-blue OF the star.

trail spiLdIes OF steel as the miIe-long surgeS
rolled laundering on the tawny shore behind
him, and he did not hear her footsteps, but
started, dropping his cigar into the water as
her shadow fell across his shoulders.
ITS you, Frank" she said, her voice
rising sweet and clear above the roar and

up and taking both her hands.
"No, no. Not that" she struggled away
from him and sat down, smiling As she point
