GOSSIP Fer THE LADIES.

/ Viii be found to average up. morally, n
1 great deal better than the men.
I To begin with. woman would seem to
! nave finer nature than that which is
! possessed by man. Her IDEAS are higher.
her instincts purer, her desires cleaner
1 than those of man.
! Every husband who is worth mention
/ ing Is, | feel prepared to agree with this
/ statement | am speaking. of course. of
J the general run of womankmd. and ont of

| Gnquesuonaby the exceptional cases
are 10 be found To our shame it must
! be admitted And it must furthermore
! be admitted that, sometimes, these eases
reveal a depth of depravity that dis
! counts mans most abySsmal wiCkedness.
W hen Il woman once fairly breaks loose
! from her womanhood and, burning her
bridges behind her, raises the war whoop
1 against deCencY and goodness She can
/ beat the worst man that lives.
| But 1t Is a great deal harder 10 get a
/ woman started along the downward way
| than it is 4 man. He- fine instincts fight
/ longer and harder against the thought of
/ evil than does mans coarser nature.
! Something within her soul scorns ANA
/ turns with horror from the temptation
/ that would lead her ON. and it is only
after many a brave struggle that she
capltulates to the sin that destroys her.
With man ii Is much oftener the case
that the evil deed and the evil wish are
one. Man takes 10 sin with somewhat of
! the avidity with which the duck takes

/ to come back on him, as sooner or later

4 Yes, sir. women are better than men
much better. Women are the moral ce-
ment of society. without which the social
1 fabric would fall to pieces like an old
adobe hut in n tropical rain.
/ In thousands of homes the husband Is
morally speaking, good-for-nothing: and
but for the fact that the wife is as true

angel.
Heretofore woman's sphere" has been
somewhat aside from the rushing life of
the world but latterly she has begun to
butt into publicity and to jostle against
all sorts and conditions of existence; and
the question is: What effect will this

To Make Servants STAY.

A society Of women in New York. or
ganiZcd to grdpple with the Servant
problem recently distributed consider
able sum of money among servants who
had remained in their positions for n
period of five years or more. The prcsen-
tation was accompanied by instructive re
marks emphasizing the advantages that
accrue TO the servant remaining
long time with one employer. The Off
GERS of the society believe they are work
ing toward the solution of one phase of
the problem, how to induce servants to
stay after they have been once secured.
and suggest the formation of branches of
the society in other cities. 1t is neces-
suTy, they say, to give servants definite
incentive to remain, in the shape of a
cash reward. The ordinary life Of serv-
ants is devoid of ambition for the lack of
substantial recognition of their efforts.
They must be provided with this inspira-
ton"
Brbing servants to stay is one way Of
getting at the difficulty, says a writer in
The Housekeeper. Better treatment by
their employers is another. Awakening
the conscience of women who steal away
other women's servants is still another.
Perhaps the last named would have
about as much effect on the situation rs
any. As for the matter of cash rewards
for long service, that should be entirely
III the ndndS OF the lnulNluudl employer.
As soon as societies begin TO interfere
between servant and employer there is
bound to be trouble. In the eases men
toned, the recommendations for the re-
wards came from the employers, but It
can easily be seen how servants, believ-
ing themselves entitled to such recogni-
ton against the opinion of employers,
might seriously complicate the situation.
While advice from outside sources may
be of some value, the servant problem
must be solved for his or herself by each
individual employer. And many have
thus solved it.-New Orleans Picayne.
