Learned Women.

If a woman to-day desires to be learn
ed, she may become so. The time has
passed when any suggestion of scholar
ship for a feminine head was houted as
against nature" The number of men
who give themselves to research is al
ways relatively small, and that of wo-
men is likely to be still smaller; but for
the exceptional woman opportunities for
the highest study are now open.

after their names. Their researches
have been in diverse fields-Roman
archaeology, old English, comparative
psychology, esthetics. Their stories of
their work show their vigor and inge-
nuity in the pursuit of knowledge, and
humor in facing the difficulties of their
tasks.
For example, one of them wished to
study a manuscript in the monastery of
Monte Casino. She found the rules of
the order forbade any woman to work
in the library or any manuscript to be
taken out. But a gentle appeal to the
abbot resulted in his sending the desired
treasure to the porter's room at the
gate. By a free construction of the reg

one who could answer her query, but
she is slowly answering it for herself
and for the world. Meantime she has

riment with her own pleasure whether
she looks at a picture, hears a concert,
reads a novel, or makes a voyage to

The study of beauty and that of soei-
ology seem to offer special attractions
for women. Out of their researches in
these lines may come not only additions
to the worlds scholarship, but also the
