FLoUT THE BLUE STOCKING.
Writers in Past Ages Had But Poor Opinion of the Litsrary
 Woman

It is within the recollection of people now living when women who ventured upon a literary ca reer were jeeringly referred to as "blue stockings" That term of derison has happily been relegat- ed to the waste pile and literary women are receiving the credit their abilities entitle them to. Writers in former days had much to say about these venturesomp fair ones. Confncius says: "Wom. an is the masterpieces" Her. der: Woman is the crown of ere ation:" Voltairc: w omep tea"h us repose. civility and d;cniiy;" Richter says: NO man ran liv, pionsly or die ri"h,eousiv wi;houi woTuan:" Beecller. "Nomen are new race rccrcatcd since tht world received Cl,ristiaritv." Y. P. Willis thinks "the sweetest thing in life is the unc!ouded wei. rome of a wife" Mi"helat ,."narkS that "woman is the Sunday of man-not his repOse only. bu; his joy. the salt of his life" Vol. taire also said: "All the reason. ir"s rf man were rot worth one sentiment of woman:" Srvilln: "Women have more strength in their looks than we have in our laws and more power by their tears than we have by our argu. ments."
 Turning to adverse criticism. Lady Montague says: "It "o"s fir toward rcconciling me to h"ino Y women when reflect that am thus in TO dap"er of marrvin" one"-as clever and witty and hi ter remnrk as cvpr was mad
 La FOntaine says: "FOyes are nr tail: women are all ton"ue:"

AN OLD JOKE MADE TRUE.
Mother and Dauyhter Found in Line Among the Members of
 Opera Chorus.

The old jokes about. the anti Huity or the ballet girl have gone out of fashion. and it is not likely that they will be revived now that the ballet has become so much less important than it used to be. The show girls who figure ill cOnteEipO- raneous musical pieces are, as d rule. too good looking to admit of any joEes on that subject. So tine reality of the situations existing in some of the comic opera cno- ruses is for that reason more inter- esting, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
