would not exchange it for all the luxu-

. Women have not been at the noun
tain climbing occupation till within
comparatively a few years, but they
have already nearly achieved the high
est heights scaled by men. The loftiest
point ever reached on this globe by
mortal was climbed to in 1883 by W. ".
Graham on Mount Sabru, in the Hima-
Iayas. His record is 24,015 feet above
sea level. The worlds second highest
climb, 1884 feet. also in the Hima-
layas, was conpassed by W. H Work
man of Boston in 1903. Mr. Workman's
wife, Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman,
accompanied him as far as 22,5 feet.
This ascent was made on KOser Gunge.
Mrs. Workman's feat places her at
the head of women mountain climbers
of the world. There is perhaps salts
faction to Americans in knowing that
two of their countrywomen are the
most famous and successful climbers
of the feminine sex. While Miss Annie
Peck has not succeeded as yet in get
ting so far above sea level as Mrs.
Workman has done. the difficulties in
her way have been greater, since the
scene of her attempts has been the
Andes range.
Mountain climbing in South America
is rendered more difficult than else
where because of the lack of capable
and responsible guides. It is business
that does not appeal either to Spaniard
or to Indian, and since the highest
peaks in the western hemisphere are III
the Andes it is exactly in South Amer
lea that the mountain climber pines to

MASCULINE LOGIC
LAME AND LACKING.
EoR an old maid am sure I am an

Tor an old maid am sure am an
admirer of men. Indeed, married
women sometimes tell me it is
just because am an old maid and don't
know men that have so high an opin-
ion of them. Howsoever that may be,
the fact remains that have great ideas
of the godlike masculine intellect. It
gives me pain, therefore, when catch
the godlike masculine intellect going
stringhalt in its logic.
Here. now, the other day one of the
godlike was invited to address a wo-
mans club. He did not follow the ordi-
nary masculine tack and give the wo-
he plunked into the midst of things
with the datfooted proposition:
MAN is superior to woman in all re-
spects"
The women looked at one another at
first in amazement, then with an ex-
preston of mingled incredulity and in
dignation. If it had been a hundred
years ago they would merely have ac-
cepted the statement as a matter Of
course and looked as meek as sheep un-
der it, as if to express it's correctness.
But women began to learn to read and
write about century ago, and since
then, pardon me, but women have been
finding men out. Maybe it was a mis-
take to allow women to learn reading
and writing, but it can't be helped now.
The speaker had fool courage, and he
proceeded:
Man is the superior of woman phys
ically, therefore he should have the
highest salary" (The speaker was a
schoolmaster.)
That was the first bad break he made
in his logic. If physical strength is the
test to bank on, then Jim Jeffries, pu-
gilist, should get larger pay than the
president of an industrial trust or OF
the United States. But worse remained
behind. The man with the stringhaIt
and spawned reasoning faculty ambled
on:
Man is superior to woman intellec-
tually If a woman wants to consult
an able and original physician she goes
to a man, not to a woman"
Here indignation among the audience
predominated plainly and expressed it
self audibly. Came an uproar of denial,
of kissing and even, it's said, of catealls.
A hundred years ago, again, women
would have listened to the speaker
meek as mice and acquiesced in his ar
gument. Again perhaps it was a mis-
take to let women learn to read and
write, for now the ladies' wrath ap-
preached the thunderous point. Some
of the women knew well that only a
few minutes journey from where the
lame logician was speaking there was a
master woman doctor who for twenty
seven years had one of the largest
practices in the city and in all that
time had signed only five death GER
tificates.
Enough" cried one angry club Wo-
man, while several prepared to leave
the hall. But that doomed man had the
desperate courage of a. Russian general.
He went on:
ITO woman work is only a make
shift, to man a natural duty. Women
will exchange work for matrimony.

then begins work in earnest"
Hoo. hooi Me-yow-w-wi 'Ss-sE-ssi

which appreciative observations the
masculine orator got out of that hall as
quick as he could, while the president
gaveIed in vain for order. The orator
had learned something. He had dis
covered that a feminine audience can

It was all the fault Of the crippled
logic. A hen would know that If man
goes to work in earnest after he is
married it is only because he has to, not
because he wants to. When the mil
honaire widow marries her coachman
does he still continue to drive his team
or does he give up his job and live in

university, Indiana, and in Smith col
lege, Massachusetts. She is one of
the girls that want to know everything.
She has studied art and music and can
speak three or four languag ges. Besides
this, she was attracted to the study of
archaeology. That drew her to Athens,
Greece, where she was the first woman
to enter the American School of Ar
chaeology.
Completing her studies in the east,
Miss Peck seems to have drifted into
mountain climbing as a vocation. She
has been at it now ten years, beginning
in 1894 with Mount Shasta, 14,440 feet
high. Next came her ascent of the
Swiss Matterhorn, 14,7O5 feet, in 1895.
BY that time Miss Peck was an expert,
ready for anything. She went to Mex
leo and climbed three lofty peaks in the
spring of 1897. They were Toluca,
$4,000 feet; Popocatepetl, 1880 feet.
and finally great, old Orizaba, 18,600
feet. At that time, 1897, no woman had
before reached so great a mountain
height.
From Mexico to South America was
the next step. Her first attempt was
made on Mount Sorata, Bolivia, last
year. It failed. During the past sum-
mer her first essay was again on So
rata. The great mountain is estimated
to be 21,500 feet high. Miss Peck reach
ed a height of 10000 feet; then her
guide and servants refused to remain
longer or to go with her. so she was
obliged to give up again the final goal,
though so near to it.
Mount HUascan. 22.050 feet high, is
among the loftiest Andes peaks. After
the Sorata trip Miss Peck tried it's as
cent. She reached an altitude of 21,000
feet. Then the snow and great, gaping
abysses prevented further progress.
Miss Peck has not, however, yet
abandoned mountain climbing, and
there are more years before her.
Mrs. Bullock Workman, the brave
Himalayan climber. is a daughter of
the late Governor Bullock of Massa-
chusetts. Mountain climbing in the
Himalayas is particularly exciting from

England has several notable woman
mountain scalers. One of the most IA
nous is Mrs. Aubrey LIE Blond. She
has been mountain climbing for twen-
ty-five years. She was an invalid, or
dered to the Alps region for her health.
The mountain air made new woman
of her, and presently she began to make
short excursions on foot. Then the
mountain climbing fever seized her too.
She ascended Alpine peaks that no 9TH
er tourist has attempted. She thinks

at all"
Mrs. LIE Blond's mountain climbing
has been done largely in the Alps and
in Norway among peaks of from 1900
to 1900 feet high. She is an exceed

THE DELIGHTFUL OLD MAID,

Miss Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler says
there is no more delightful parsonage
living than your delightful old maid, SO
called, and it takes far cleverer wom-
an to be an admirable old maid than an
admirable wife; let no one forget that.
There is a growing tendency among
the girls of the present day not to mar
ry. In our grandmothers' time every
woman considered marriage as her raj
son d'etre and spinsterhood as an un-
mitigated calamity, but nowadays
many women deliberately prefer to re-
main single.
And there is much to be said in IA
vor of single life, with its independ-
ence and it's freedom from anxiety and
responsibility. 1t has fewer joys than
the married state, but also fewer cares,
and single woman has a far better
time now than she ever had before ow-
ing to her increased liberty and free

10 DO lip LAcEs

The great thing to remember is that
soap must never be rubbed on lace. It
spoils the color.
Dissolve in warm water in which you
can comfortably bear your hand enough
soap to make a nice iather. Add a few
drops of ammonia and put in the lace.
Leave for ten minutes, souse it up
and down in the suds and squeeze be-
tween your hands. To rub or wiring it
is likely to break the threads if the lace
is a fine one.
Put into another lot of suds prepared

lots of clear water.
Real old lace should then be allowed
to lie for at least half an hour in warm
milk, then squeezed as dry as possible.
This gives it the correct yellowish tint.
Iron at once on a board covered with
several thicNnesses of flannel or felt

and finishing with only muslin or lawn

handkerchief does excellently.
When half ironed remove your cloth

and loops IN the lace, then cover with
the muslin and iron again until quite

EXERCISE EoR HOUSEWIVES.

There used to be a rule in all young
ladies' academies that the young pupils
must touch the elbows behind them.
Every day they were required to stand
in a row and tap the elbows together in
the back
Our grandmothers will tell US how
rigidly this was enforced and how the
girl who could not do it was required
to keep on practicing until she had ac-
complished the feat. Tapping the ell
bows together was one way of resting
when the back was tired. 1t would be
a good exercise today.
