Women have much to be thankful
for since the twentieth century bcElr.
Within the past few months the no6l
new woman movement has manifested
Its growing strength in the election @
numerous ladies to high and respJn.i-
BILE offices in various western states
from that of state superintendent Of
public instruction to county CLERK
Early in 1902 the last barrier to fun
suffrage for women was swept away
in Australia. and they are taking ad
vantage of their new citizens rights
with intelligence and rejoicing. Prob
ably the strongest, finest, most en-
lightened specimens of womanhood on
this globe are to be found in Australia
and New Zealand.
For the first time in its history the
new art salon of Paris saw in 1902
women appointed among Its priz-
awarding judges. For the first time III
history 1902 saw woman licensed as
an apothecary In Russia. Also lfo
saw the university of Leipsic, in Ger
many, comforting its degree on women.

NJ. Carey Thomas, president of Bryn
Mawr college, sought in vain a few
years ago. Neither in cold Norway is
the new woman too frozen up to move.
Municipal suffrage has been conferred
on the feminine sex there.
Meantime, returning to America, in
the United States 1902 has been year
of fuss and sputter among women's
clubs. Those that have made solid.
dignitied progress are exceptions, and
those exceptions are mostly confined to
the clubs of country towns and small
cities.
1t is the time of good resolutions. To
begin, let us this 1st of January make
high resolve that during the year 1909
we will not fuss and sputter, com,
what will. The habit of eternally talk
ing. of getting wrought up over trifies.
is a perpetual power waster.
The mental and spiritual scientists

and late is power from Within They
are right. There is no power for you
outside of yourself. not even the power
of God, for that must dwell and be
developed within you before it will b"
manifest. The kingdom of heaven is

Most women would give the best
year of their lives TO know how to gain
power to achieve their ideals. They
are beginning to understand that no
body else. not even husband or chill.

Well, can you gain power when you
pour yourself out from your toes In
feeble talk? No matter what the in
cessant talk is. If it be about fashions.
your ailments, children or servants or
gossiping over the f0ibles or deficien-
cies of your acquaintances behind their
backs, you are wasting the very life
blood of your soul in imbecilities.
Be silent and think. Thus and thus
only You gain power. When a civil
engineer wishes to supply a city with
water from n small stream, he builds
reservoir and n dam and then lets the
lake fill up silently and gently. Ex:

all the ages. from Moses to General
Grant, have been silent men," Chill
dren weary themselves out in constant
infantile prattle and babyish excite
ment. Women do the same. The frit.
tering away of life in useless gabble
and squabble and in fussing over fash
ions and clothes is i'll fitting employ
ment for the immortal soul of wom-
an in land where women have great
er opportunity than anywhere else.
The way to stop this feminine fuss
and sputter Is to stop it. Now at the
opening of the beautiful new year, Is
the time to begin. Let us resolve, first.
that we will only talk when 1t Is nee
essary. Then. when we do talk, let us
not criticise any human being. Let us
each say: | myself am the soul have
TO work on. When myself am abso-
lutely perfecC. then | may criticise my
neighbor's doings; not till then.
Let us be strong and sweet and silent.
Let us clothe ourselves with beauty
from within. the beauty that never
changes its fashion except to grow
brighter and brighter unto the perfect
day.
Miss Charlotte e. Ainslee of London,
who was senior lecturer In the Cam
bridge Training college, has been ap-
pointed head mistress in q woman's
college in Edinburgh. This is consid-
cred great step forward in Great
Britain, for hitherto ladies' have not
been looked on as capable of being at
the head of a college. Miss Ainslee re.
ceives $1,000 salary. which is consid-
cred immense In Great Britain.
