Women Critics of Women
"Woman's at best contradiction
still" Such was the opinion of poet
whose crooked back and sharp tongue
made him no fayorite with the ladies.
But the sex sometimes justifies Pope
by the way it blazons its own faiiings.
Women writer's short of copy turn IN
stinctively TO the weaknesses OF wo-
men.
Recent months have been especially
prolific of sermons by women for wom-
en-. The would-be reformers cover a
wide field with their structures. To-day
they accuse woman of lacking interest
in public affairs. and tomorrow OF tax
ing interest in public affairs 10 the neg
lect of her home. One critic finds her
stingy of tips" another deplores her
extravaganza in gifts. She does not
put on her clothes to good advantage. or
she spends too much tine, thought and
money on her clothes. On the one
hand she sweeps the streets with her
skirts. on the other she wears her golf
gown too short Tor moueSty. Soine-
times she is accused Of having no ca
pacity for being "a good fellow with
husband or brother, and again she is
developing a taste for gambling and
smoking.
Evidently these conclusions cannot
all be correct. Euripides said. Woman
is woman's natural ally" but modern
conditions have made her woman's nat
ural critic. If men believed al that
women say about one another, tho mar
rage rate would decline. Fortunately,
they take these feminine structures with
grain of salt; and, moreover, the man
masculine definitely prefers

An unusually thrifty mother suggests
that when holes in the heels or toes of
the chfldrens stockings are too big to
darn, a good plan is to cut out the
worn parts entirely, then with a
crochet needle and some Saxony wool
or darning cotton to go round and
round the hole, gradually diminishing
the number of stitches until the hole
is completely filed up. This, no doubt
takes less time than If an attempt were
made to darn the hole. to say nothing

Avoid talking loudly, especially in

Avoid making faces when she talks,

Avoid a blase air, and appear bright

Avoid ostentatious dressing, or
clothes evidently too elegant for her
station or means.
Avoid slang; it may sound amusing
but it is anything but ladylilse, and
other people know it.
Avoid making unkind remarks about

CHAPTER XIV.

The lost son of Sir Richard Devine
had returned to England and made
claim to his naIae and fortune. In other
words. John Rex had successfully car
ried out the scheme by which he had
usurped the rights of his old convict
comrade.
John Rex often wondered at the
strange ease with which he had carried
out 30 monstrous and seemingly difficult
an impoSture. After he was landed in
Sydney by the vessel which Sarah Pur-
foy had sent TO save him. he found HIM
self slave TO a bondage scarcely less
CALLING than that from which he had
escaped-the bondage of enforced com
panionship with an unloved woman. The
opportune death of one of her assigned
servants enabled Sarah Purfoy to in
stall the escaped convict in his room. In
the strange state of society which pre-
vailed Of necessity in New South Wales
at that period, it was not unusual for
assigned servants to marry among the
free settlers, and when it was heard
tkat Mrs. Purfoy, the widow of a whaL
ing captain, had married John Carr, her
storekeeper, transported for embezzle-
ment, and with two years of his SEN
tence yet to run, no one expressed sur

master of fine wife and fine fortune,
there were many about him who would
have made his existence in Australia
pleasant enough. But John Res; had no
notion of remaining longer than he could
help, and ceaselessly sought means of
escape from his second prison ;souse- For
q long time his search was unsuccess-
full. Much as she loved the seoundrel,
Sarah Purfoy did not scrunie to tell him
that she had bought him, and regarded
him as her property. He knew that II
he made any attempt to escape from his
marriage bonds, the woman who had
risked so much to save him would not
hesitate to deliver him over to the au-
thorities.

ing the line at no distant date.
It is stated that a new route is being
sought between Monterey and Hartman,

which are even shorter than the Obed

versant with the territory that the
Nashville line can be shortened about
twenty miles by this cutoff.

ING-FANs EXPECT HIGHLAND
ERs TO VISIT MISSISSIPPI TOWN

Meridian, Miss, March 1s.-(Speeial)-
Local fandom became enthused this after
noon when the advance guard of the
White Ribboners for the coming season
stepped off Mobile and Ohio passenger
train at 2:30 o'clock. The party consisted
of ten young men who will fight for the
glory of Meridian.on the diamonds of the
Cotton States league
All the men came direct from Terre
Haute. Nine live there and the other lives
at Elwood, a short distance away They
met at Terre Hautesand the entire party
became acquainted while making the trip.
During the afternoon the men went to
the ball park, and were pleased with the
arrangements made for the convenience
and comfort, as well as the condition of
the playing grounds. The fact that it
was Sunday alone prevented them from
indulging in little practice work.
Manager Sample located the men at
the Grand Avenue hotel temporarily. To-
night he gave them an earnest talk. He
told them he wanted the pennant for
Meridian and relied upon their prowess
to land it.
Hard practice work will be COM
plenced tomorrow morning, the first prac-
tice game being played in the afternoon.
BY Wednesday or Thursday one of the
college teams in this section will be
brought to Meridian for the first real
baseball game of the season, and the fans
will turn out to get line on the makeup
of the men to whom they are ready to
pin their faith.
Hope is still entertained that the New
York Americans will make date to play
the White Ribboners Thursday, March 80.
The New York newspaper men in Bir-
mingham volunteered to make the game
a go. and it is up to them to make good.
Meridian has accepted the proposition
that they claimed to be empowered to
submit. If the Americans decide to run
down to Meridian 1t is predicted that
not less than 1000 fans will turn out to
see the star % the big league.
The changes made at the recent meet
ing in Jackson are meeting with general
approval, especially that making the
salary limit 5000 per month instead of
$780, and that extending the playing sea-
son Sc as to include Labor day.
The first game of the season for the
race for the Cotton States pennant will
be played April 10, Meridian opening at
home with the Baton Rouge team as their
opponents.
