years as 1t has in the past, the equal
suffrage demands of women should be
complete in many lands.
Professionally, women have achieved
their emancipation. Women in the pro-
fessions are familiar enough now In
the United States and in Europe the
woman doctor and lawyer are met
with. France granted to women the
right of becoming lawyers in Decem>
Der, 1900, aud since then women have
been competing with men for honors
In that honorable calling.
The latest accession in Paris to the
ranks of women lawyers is Mile. Miro
polsky. belonging TO race which has
given to the world many women of
noted beauty and noted talents. She
is Pole and is beautiful as well as
talented. Had she embraced the stage
instead OF the legal profession, Miss
Miropolsky would long ago have been
! famous for she has a beautiful voice
and charm of manner which Is most
! captivating. But like her country
! woman, Madame Curie, the co-discov-
erer Of radlum, she goes in for the
serious things of life. The intrlcacies
of law arr called to her bright and
analytical mind and Paris predicts for
her at the bar brilliant and success
full career.

RIO -JANErRo's FINE WOMEN.
Beautiful and Attractive, They Are

Beautiful and Attractive, They Are
100000 Fewer than the Men.
tsSome of the finest women that grow
on this earth are to be found in Rio
Janeiro," remarked Antonio Il. Seabra,
merchant of that city, to Washing
ton Post man. Senior Seabra is veal
thy and spends much of his time be-
tween his home city and Paris. He is
now here with 4. NJ. Campos to study
conditions in the United States.
THE women in Rio are both beauti-
full and vivacious," he continued. They
are decidedly attractive in every way,
and, the fact that there are about 200,-
600 fewer of them than men In a total
population of more than a million
When there is so much competition
among the men to win the woman the
men strive harder for success and seek
to make themselves more attractive.
While our women are as viyacious as
the Spanish women their manner is,
French women, and are at the same
time more constant. Family life among
us is very delightful.

any other place kiow. May theaters,

ment are to be found on every hand.
Our ideas of success are quite different

THE PURITAN SPIRIT.

BY Rev. r.. S. storrs, ID. ID.
Text-"One generation shall praise
thy works to another, and shall de-
clare thy mighty acts. Psalm cxlv: 4.
The Puritan spirit survived the early
colonial times, always seeking not to
decorate life or to ornament society,
but to assert personal freedom under
God, and to innovate for righteousness,
leading the march toward better ages.
1t sought always to lay foundations,
to build great walls, and then was
ready to leave it to others to tone and
color them and set the pictured glass
in the windows
This spirit is by no means dead in
the land, though secular success may
seem at times to have fettered or dis
solved 1t; though a daintier culture
may have made men insensitive, If not
positively averse, to its austere dignity
and power; though 1t may almost seem
deluged and buried under the rush Of
foreign immigration, from lands whose
names and moral life 1t has not
trained 1t win surely re-appear, If too
daring attempts are made on the an
cient order and faith Of the New Eng
land churches, or on that system of
public schools which is to us a great
inheritance; or If socialistic, anarchic
theories try to minister to passion, to
subvert public order. to conquer, de-
file, and despoil the continent In it is
really, as 1 believe, our assurance Of
the future. Without it our civilization
will rot.
We want the same temper amid the
changed world in which our personal
lot has been cast, which has been in
those who have stood, in all their ages,
against corruption in the church or in
the state, with hearts that no more
failed, and brows that no more
blanched than does the rock before the
rush of the storm; the same temper
which was in our fathers, go years
ago, when they left whatever was beau
tiful at home in obedience to conscience,
and faced without flinching the sea
and the savage; when they sought not
high things for themselves, and were
joyfully ready to be stepping stones for
Others, if they might advance the king
dom Of God but when they gave to this
New England life which has moulded
its rugged strength from that day to
this, has made it a monument surpass-
ing all others, and has made it sem
mary Of character and of power for all
the land !. a life, please God, which shall
never be extinct among the stronger
souls of men, till the earth itself shall
have vanished like a dream
