On every hand, the American woman
is conceded TO be remarkable. Her
quickness her keen intelligence, her
wonderful adaptahility. her unusual
charm, are undeniabe If ever a wom-
an needed and deserved career, she
does-a career open to her talents.
There is career, too, in America,
that especially needs the best gifts Of
the American woman. her wiSest thought
her highest executive ability. her finest
endowments. Yet it is 50 neglected a
career that most women never think Of
ii as Il career at all. As an opportunity
for vitality and really influencing the
world, they refuse to consider it.
The greatest field now offered to the
educated woman says one college wOm-
an. famous for her ability and expert
ence, lis the elevation Of the home into
its place in American life. The home
aud the school are the two pillars upon
which American institutions stand. The
proper correlation of these Is the work
Of the coming year. The school can do
much. but il cannot undo all the mis-
chief in the home

mon in America that we have almost
ceased to expect ner to learn. The
American woman who makes Il career
of a home, who brings brains 70 house
cleaning and to bills of fare. who knows
how to manage her subocdinates because
she knows their work thoroughly herself,
who has definite aims as to her childrcn's
manners and ideals, is the exception, not
the rule. The woman who complains of
home conditions. instead of creating
them, and who wants a career without
seeing the one at hand. is increasingly
heard in the land. 1t is all very well to
smile at the German sayants ideal wife,
who had seventeen children and 10
opinions but the American variety with
seventeen clubs and no children certain
~ shows up badly by comparison The
woman who can make and keep an ideal
home-clean, comfortable. simple. rest
full. cultivated. hospitable-haS achieved
the best career, after all. No woman
can make such a home without being in
tcligcnt and ambitious of excellence.
There is no stupid work; there are only
stupid workers" says the French phil
osopher. Nowadays, when so many
women find home-making stupid. is the
trouble in home itself. or in the stupid
ty that fails to recognize the most beau

Domestic training for girls seems to be
engaging the intelligent attention in all
civilized countries, says the Newark
News. Never We're the people of this
country so intent upon teaching all
branches of domestic science as they are
today, and they are willing to spend time
and money so that the housekeepers and
homemakers of the future may be more
tittingly trained for their duties. We
learn from one of our foreign c0ntempo-
raries that this subject has been greatly
agitated of late in Switzerland, and no
expense is spared in the equipment of
their schools. They teach everything, in

DEROULEDE MAY PROVE
DANGEROUS FIRE BRAND

PARIS. Nov. 1.-THE recent Fecep-
ton in this city of N. Paul DeroUlede,
the famous founder OF the Pat-iO.
League. after an exile Of nearly SIX
years. shows how many friends he still
has in France.
No one doubts that there is no French
man living who has a greater love for
his country than Paul Deroulede, but
patriotism OF the aggressive kind is
often dangerous and under the present
circumstances he might easily arouse
feelings which would lead TO a war
with Germany which would be q great
calamity.
Twice during the last year have we
been on the verge OF war and only es-
capped by the narrOWest margin. and
although the loss of Alsace-Lorraine is
still felt as deeply as IL was thirty-four
years ago, all true patriots agree that
even were there hope of winning back
these old French provinces We should
not be justified in sacrificing hundreds
