and then the subject was limited to its in
tellectual phase only. But there were
further complications when the charge
was made that there is no case on record
of a woman having lived entirely apart
from mans influence. and therefore no
decision could be reached.
Cases of single women having attained
distinction were mentioned, as, for In

Herschel. Louisa NJ. Alcott. Joan OF Arc
and others

suggested Queen Elizabeth. Members

Another member put the question on a
scientific basis by drawing the illustration
from the natural world of the positive

it had been so with man and woman ever
since the incident in the Garden of Eden.

'Doea womsn's highest development de-

The ladies OF tho club have viewed the

BARR'S OPENING A SUCCESS
Crowds Attend Spring Display OF
Costumes and Millinery.

The William Barr dry goods establish
ment has never shown to better advantage
than it did at yesterdays opening.
The splendid new apartments that have
been devoted to the millinery display and
the great rooms that are filed with gowns
and costumes and suits Of all descriptions
were filed from morning till night with
an eager crowd of purchasers.
Seldom has such a line of women's wear
ing apparel been displayed in the West
Among the great show of shirt-waist
suits that I'LL the cases at Bars one cre-
alton of dotted Swiss, a shirred suit
trimmed with old rose and pink ribbons,
was particularly attractive. The garment
Is shirred at the waist and Is extremely
light and beautiful.
Another suit of foulard, blue and white.
at the neck. with Oriental sleeves. A
champagne crepe de Chine, with the new
full skirt, with medRlliOns of champagne
colored lace, attracted much attention. and
a lavender gown of linen. elaborately
trimmed in lace. with rings and French
knots, came in for much attention.
A beautiful black lace gown, trimmed in
ruffies of handsome lace, with a shirred
yoke and skirt, the waist elaborately
trimmed in lace and ribbons. was an i'm
ported affair that was much admired also.
OF course. in the line of shirt-waist
suits columns could be written. There Is
no more complete line in the city.
In voiles "Barrs" offers a magnificent
variety. One brown costume with green
velvet and gold. with a shirred waist and
Hercules braid with sleeves Of creamy
lace was much admired.
There is a bewildering variety of all
these modish garments.
The millinery department has been made
the special subject Of the Barr Dry Goods
Companys expert buyers, and the results
are certainly extraordinary. Hats of very
variety and style are profusely displayed.
One pretty effect was gained by the use
of blue satin braid with ostrich feathers
about the crown. which half concealed
delicate blue rose, the blending of the
two shades producing a bewitching effect.
Some of the new poke shapes, one or
which is OF pink satin braid, on which
pink poppies are profusely used, as an

is further enriched with pink ribbons has

There are scores of ready-to-wear hats,

lines of chiffon hats ready for Just p

new tailored hats by the score.
