Women as Lawyers.

My own observation of women lawyers, based
upon thirty years experience at the bar
of Illinois and of the Supreme Court of the
United States, is that they do no succeed; in
deed. hardly appear advocates. however use
full they may become as office practitioners 1t
must be remembered that in America we have
no distinction between the barrister and the
solicitor. and that consequently woman called
to the bar may practice her profession without
appearing in court The few women
have in the courts did not appear
to me to be conspicuous examples of success.
and one of them, who had, / believe, gained
notoriety, had done so in the police
courts by the sacrifice Of qualities usually con-
sidered as feminine.-American Lawyer, in Lon
