 The statement made in this column last week that instead of "all having been gained by women they were still strug- gling for a foothold. has just received a practical illustration in Washington city. During the last two years for the first time a woman has been permitted to enter the law department of Columbian University in that city and prepare for its degrees. This woman, Mrs Emma Reba Bailey, was first graduated as bachelor of laws at the Washington Col lege of Law, and then, after the most strenuous efforts, special permission was secured from the Executive Board for her to enter the Columbian law depart ment From this she received the degree of master of laws last June, without any special opposition. The camel had got its head under the tent, and Mrs. Bailey applied next for admission to the gradu- ate department. known as the National School of Jurisprudence and Diplomacy This ranks with any similar college m the United States. having among its lectures Justices of the Supreme Court and diplomat lists of international fame. The deep-seated hostility of faculty and students to the admission of women broke out afresh. some of the former de- claring they would refuse to lecture to & class containing them. The Executive Board was again persuaded, however. and admitted Mrs. Bailey with the under standing that this should not be con- strued as establishing a precedent

 Now, while 1t Is true that Marie's dot of S5o,OOO francs fin Government bonds was handed over to the bridegroom to dispose of freely, so that were he so disposed he might gamble it away at bacarat it is no less true that the French common law gives Marie to secure 1t, a first mort gage on the whole of Gustave's real es- tate. Up till now French marriage is a very mutual system.
 Tn a word, the French family has al- ways been Kind of domestic insurance society. What is the object of the dol? |? To defray household expenses The hus- band becomes trustee for 1t, not for his wife, but for both of them together, and not for both of them together only, but for both their parents. also, should the old folks come to need It.
 Therefore the French husbands prop erty is mortgaged, because in buying a wife" he has bought a mortgage with her, and. if required. he must give his father-in-law and mother-in-law a place in his household. or find them home Otherwise they can sue him and recover enough for their annual sustenance ac- cording to the husbands rank in life
 The only solacs of the husband-in ad- dtion to the cold cash of the dot-is that if he or his wife Is in need they can compel their legal parents to support them in an analogous manner As for the bridegroom's parents. they have al- ways the same claims and duties toward their son, but they may not. of course, hope anything from the dot fund brought by the girl to their son. -t
 Here is the strongest kind of motive for French married couples to keep together. Now, suppose child Is born, Instantly, by the silent. inflexlble operation of the law, new trust springs into existence. The little child puts forth his innocent finger and says to his parents:

 Now the latest act of this good Judge has been to grant a divorce to coupIe on the simple ground that they desired 1t. Thus he comes well into the move ment of the Brothers Marguerite.
 The Brothers Marguerite propose two new causes for divorce by mutual con sent and divorce on the demand of one of the two parties.

The other seven noble knights hailed from the Dis trict. Maryland, Kentucky. Tennessee, New York and two from Pennsylvania. These smart young men alleged that Mrs. Bailey was mot sufficiently ground cd in the basic principles of the law" that she had not the necessary intellec- tual grasp" and that her thesis was not up to the lofty standard they had established" They carried their briefs pleadings and arguments to Dr. Need- ham, President of the University and dean of the law school. who announced his decision as follows:
 Mrs. Balley's work has been duly ap- proved and passed by the several profes- sors in charge. Her thesis is very able paper, and was read and passed upon by tho faculty, so that It was not merely decided upon by one competent professor, but by several, after first having passed through the hands of a reader. There has been no discrimination in her behalf on the part of the faculty. She has worked hard and well. She is entitled to receive the degree in course. and 1t will be conferred in the same manner as upon the other graduates.
 He also announced that those who did not take part in the commencement ex- ercises would not receive their diplomas. Mrs. Bailey's thesis was entitled.

 A paragraph has been going the rounds setting forth the very small number of women who voted at the recent "munici- paF' elections in Massachusetts, and as- serting that the number is constantly growing smaller Tn Boston, it Is said only u.SOO women cast their ballots.
 The fact is that women have no ''mu- nicipaP' suffrage in Massachusetts.
