are two forms of impurity in the air

the most injurious. For the removal

ventilation from open windows and
open fireplaces IS most efiicacious. but
it is of little service in the removal OF
the other kind of impurity; that is to

By katherine Thomas


katherine E. Thomas is one of the
lest known women writer's for newspa-
pers at Washington. Her book on of
ficial Etiquette at the Nations Capital'
Is regarded as a standard. She has also
written a novel on Washington society
entitled mot All the Kings Horses.)
Woman's place on the newspapers
to-day is due to the law of demand
and supply. She has not crowded
man out. It is distinctively posi-
ton into which she has neither forced
her way nor sought in ever so limited
a degree to GUST man from that do
main in which since the invention Of
the art OF printing he had held exclu-
sive right.
With the evolution of successive
stages of progress the necessity OF
woman's work on the press became 80
apparent that the cry went forth
throughout the land. And It was be-
cause of that cry that this great field
of woman's cleverness and industry
was opened up.
With trembling feet the pioneer
woman writer's crossed the threshold
of tho newspaper offices. 1t is with
assured tread she makes her way
to-day. In the comparatively short
space of time in which woman has
been an acknowledged factor on the
star Of the daily press she has &C
complished much. Before her there
yet stretches vast worlds to con-
quer. But that she will conquer, that
in the future she will achieve success
In this occupation IL long since q
foregone conclusion.
Not the least powerful factor wom-
an brings to her work as newspa-
per writer is that birthright, intuition.
When added to this her keenly observ-
ant powers become trained along the
necessary lines and her natuia ten
acity of purpose has the strong slim
illus of competition with men, 1t viii
be realized that success is and must
continue to be her portion.
As in all else of the ceuntry's
work, there is great deal of human
nature in the newspaper world, and
when woman enters into such active
houlder-to-shoulder rivalry with men,
as has now Of necessity developed in
all the active press matters of the
day, she must understand from the
start that she can expect no quar-
ter To be upon the star of an up
to-date daily means an amount o;
work more exhausting mentally and
physically than In any other wage
earning occupation can fall to the lot
of human being. To be upon the
stan of powerful newspaper means
to live at concert pitch day after day,
month after month.
1t is only by the strictest observ-
aEce Of the nygienic laws relating
more particularly to the regular eat
ing of simple. easily digested. Esurish-
ing food that any one, man or WON
an, can expect to stand the strain.

upon the nerves, and yet, strange to
say. it Is women who bear 1t best.

rode down into the mist as II his
senses were not in him.
From the foot of the mountain to
the castle high above, the bride path
runs a long way round; and between
bend and bend lies a great ravine that
neither man nor beast had crossed, 40
feet at the narrowest from side to
side. The edges overhang so that the
bottom is not seen; and when stone
falls one grows tired of listening for
the distant crash below. Alan Mac
donald rode straight for the ravine.
When he came to the edge he looked
till he found plot of level grass, and
there he rested his horse for a mo-
ment, and patted his neck and whis-
pered in his ear.
Now, boy, now" he cried. The
horse sprang forward over the even
ground, gathered himself together on
the edge of the abyss and few into
the air.

Alan Macdonald under his breath.
Then he saw his horse falling short
of the black rock-felt him strike
