old omen of Co

Woman has been tried and not found
wanting In a good many occupations
which the world believed were only to
be filed properly by man, but at last
she seems to have met her Waterloo.
According to recent advices from Paris
and Berlin, 1t appears that the women
in those cities who have essayed the
business of cab driving have not been
successful. The Partisan cab women
found that they could not ndure the
long hours and the exposure to all
kinds of weather. In Berlin 1t has
been demonstrated that women cab
drivers lost their nerve when confront
ed with thick traffic and street block.
AIDES.
Mary young mothers gradually get
into the way of believing that with
house and children to look after 1t is
quite impossible for them to leave
home long enough to pay visits and
toe much extra trouble to nave friends
with them. After awhile they practi
cally give up seeing their friends ex-
cept on very rare occasions. This 10
one of the saddest mistakes d womaD
can make. The woman who stays at
home who has practically no interests
outside her own household Is certain
to grow narrow. More than that, h
Is quite as sure to become prematurely
aged and is lessening her chance OF
happiness immensely. Should her home
happiness fail, what has she to fall
back on? If she has been wise enough
to keep her friends, ven though doing
so has entailed more or less hardship
and nc little self denial, she will still
have them to help her over the hard
places which are sure to disclose them
selves in her pathway. For this rea-
son, If for no other, it is wise to lose no
chance to make friends and to take the
time to cultivate them. Most reason
able persons demand very little atten-
ton from a busy IN An occasion
al visit to show that they are still ap
preciated or even a note If the visit Is
impossible will do the business. We
cannot ignore our friends for a time
with the expectation that friendship
may be resumed when 1t is more con
venient. Most persons will decide that
such a friendship Is not worth having.
The present awakening among Hin
doc women appears to meet with the
full approval of the men, who are be-
coming anxious to have educated
wives and daughters. At the last con-
vocation of the University of Bombay
two high caste women belonging to the
families of Brahmans took degrees
This year also Hindoo women were
graduated from the Madras university.
: At the University OF -Aialahar- Srimatl
ANNA received the bachelors degree
In arts. She is a married woman and
mother of a large family. Her hus-
band is a prominent Brahman, and it
was in accordance with his earnest de-
sire that she went to college.
New York has the reputation of pos
sessing the handsomest elderly wo-
men in the world. On its streets n
sees any number of women past mid
A4C axe LIZ l. pO0AtANCA) PACNNJ e
With their snowy hair and clear com
plexions they look more like young
matrons made up for a smart function
than the grGndmammas they are quite
likely to be. When n sees them
Ninon de PEnclos and the other beau
ties who knew the secret of perpetual
youth become realities. What Is more
beautiful than a beautiful old woman?
Nothing on the face of the earth eX
cept a beautiful young one. With her
forehead still white and free from
wrinkles, her eyes sparkling with the
sheer joy Of living and her cheeks
still rosy with the afterglow of youths
radiance, she is certainly a dear. She
moves as briskly as in her younger
days, dresses even more smartly and
is fully abreast Of the times. Such is
the astonishing old woman of Gotham
In these latter days.
Recently the Georgia legislature of
fered the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives to the State Woman's Suf-
frage association for its annual meet
ing. Thirteen years ago a governor of
Georgia declared that it was unconsti-
tutional for women to hold suffrage
meetings in the capitol.

The only immigrants desired at pres
ent ip South Africa are women. Oh
the 81 who went there from England
during the last twelve months as teach
ers tho majority have found husbands.
There are still many vacancies In the
ranks Of South Africa's educational
forces and also many prosperous
bachelors who are awaiting an oppor-
tunity 10 become benedicts.
