Her idea Of happiness was seeing her
friends at home and abroad, going from

Makers of lead pencils delight to
cover them with a hard, unyielding
paint that will turn the edge Of knife
blade and make sharpening a task
dangerous to the fingers and destruct-
I've to the temper. Perhaps the reason
for this apparently unnecessary add
ton to life's petty annoyances Is that
the pencil manufacturers are interested
In the sale of patent pencil sharpeners,
on which good profit must be made,
says the New York Sun.
But the proprletors of most article
that are sold in tin boxes are not like
ly to be interested In the vending Of
nail files and scissors, although most
of them put on the market receptacles
SO ingeniously contrived as to be un-
openable except at high expense Of
finger nails. Possibly the druggists
influence the selection of tin boxes, ex-
pecting, and justly, too, great indirect
gain therefrom. It may be that the
large and constantly growing tribe Of
manicure girls has something to do
with 1t. The druggists are not respon-
sible fog cigar bands, however. The
smoking public has been taught that
cigars are belted with gaudy circlets
in order that each make may be dis
tinguished from the others. This is
not the case. Bands are put on cigars
for the purpose Of tearing the wrap
pers when the time comes to remove
them. Fastidious smokers dislike
broken wrappers. For this reason the
trade forces them to smoke rolls Of the
weed that must be smashed If one has
objections to the smell and taste of
paper and printing inks
A majority Of the race of inventors

Mile. Miropolsky's portraits do not
do her justice. for they cannot repro
duce the air of intelligence that beams
in every feature nor the changing ex-
preston. the keen sparkle of the eye,
the jet black hair, the white teeth or
the charm of manner which are hers.
Mile Miropolsky desires especially
to practice in divorce cases and on be-
half of children. With regard to di-
vorce. she expresses ideas which in
some countries would be considered
audacious. She would like to see d.
vorce made easier; that is. she advo-
Gates dissolving a union on the ex-
press desire of both parties This re-
form she suggests as being really in
the interests of morality. Such a con-
dition of affairs. she remarks, virtual
ly exists nowadays, for il the parties
really wish to be separated they ar
range a comedy in which there are,
necessarily. low and vulgar incidents.
In divorce cases she hopes that it may
be her lot to plead nearly always for
the wife. for, she says, il is the woman
who suffers most frequently in these
domestic failures.
Mile. Miropolsky thinks that every
possible career should be opened to
woman, and she finds that the chief
objection of men is due to fear OF in
creased competition and not really TO
any of the reasons commonly and
hypocritically put forward. She would
like to see women enter the church as
a profession, for that is a sphere in
which their qualities would. she be
lieves, be especially serviceable.
In politics, Mile Miropolsky consid-
ers she has not yet read and seen
enough TO be able to decide between
the various parties in the republic.
On the question Of marriage she has
supreme contempt for what are called
marriages of reason, the reason" gen.
orally being money. She recognizes
that marriage is the true function OF
woman. and IL she were to meet q man
for whom she had real affection she
would think herself happy to marry;
but on no other consideration save
that of love. In any case. she would
hope to continue her career in the le
gal profession.
She is an opponent OF capital pun
ishment. She regards criminals some

Her appearance as counsel for the de.

large number Of old lawyers TO the

nothing out Of the ordinary. Her
client had been abandoned by the IA

the verge Of starvation she had tried
to end her miseries. The baby had

Jurist as he watched the beautiful girl

SOFT voice pleading for mercy for the
unfortunate sister on whom memorable
justice had laid her heavy hand. And
SO moving was her plea that the Jury
acquitted her client.
Mile. Miropolsky was born in Paris

some OF the young woman's talent is
