"Rose Cold"

Tho victim of 'rose cold" who ohjec,s
to the Evening Malls panegyrio Of the
month of June Is justified In his critl-
cism-looking at the mat ter from his own
point Of view, One who Is afflicted with
that dlreful complaint cannot be ex-
pected to SEQ any beauty In the season
which infallibly brings IT., Rose cold is
a real thing, too, 1t is doubtful II the
roses really cause IT. but they may do so
in Individual instances, while In other
instances the pollen of another flower
may DO the culprit.
And, in any case, there must be. the
doctors say, some kind of nervous or n eu-
rotIc predisposltion. For our friend whose
admiration oil the month Of June Is over
thrown by his own affctlon, we may
offer the ton. based on good medl-
cal authority that It takes a considerable
degree Of intellectual development to
make one q victim OF rose cold or any

extent OF tho affliction is measured by
the intellectual capacity OF the victim,

WOMEN AT WORK.
Englishwoman's Reasons for the
Failure Of Wonens Work.

1T has been repea tcdly stated that. al.
though women's work Is quite equal TO
that Of men. the scale OF payment is
much lower owing to the prejudice which
still exists in the minds of men against
tho encroachment Of women in the labor
market and to the competition among
women themselves on account OF the
TO ear nther own livelihood.
AS latter of fact, however, except
IN rare cases, won1en's work Is not equal
to that of men, not because they are not
equally capa BILE OF doing It or do not I'M
derstand It, but because very few women
can, be induced to take their WORK ser.-
sary TO perfecting themselves in II until
too late. II they enter the ranks of the
workers as girls they do so in nine cases
out often simply to earn sufficient money
to dress Oh until such time as they shall
be married. 8 By
Consequently, the work In their eyes Is

he does so on the understanding that he
Is starting life's work. and that no mat

Fits all day with one eye on the clock

Her essential ambitions and interests
are all outside of 1T; 1t Is merely an

but With no ambition and no Interest In

n. Instead Of starting with such ideas.
the girl begins her work, whateyerit may
