WHAT MRS. GILMAN SAYS.

Perkins Gilman, entitled woman the

conducts the household page in a New

standing up for woman and sincerely

cries down the "house service" and
puts the wider out in the world life
above if. She says;
"The average woman in daily life Is
petty and personal to the last degree
Yes, and what is her daily life? Does
it involve the consideration of large
affairs, the broadening complex of
world business? Hardly. 1t consists
in an endless repetition of the smallest
round Of duties. in the nairowest per

awakening he beheld a beautiful girl at a
small lake. birthmark, resembling a

mysterious effect upon the girl, who said
her name was Ysonde. Suddenly she dis

Later, Roy, hunting, came to the beauti-

told him how her stepfather, evidently q

Barris locked 1t and sat down.
Thanks" said l; "Barris, where is
the city of Yian?"
An expression akin to terror flashed
into Barris' eyes and l saw him stop
breathing for moment.
There is no such city," he said at

trembling from his chair. He had

stopped with the hot blood tingling in
ears, for it seemed impossible that
sensible men, in the year of our Lord

tiers.
l feared Pierpont, but he did not
even smile. AS for Barris, he sat
with his handsome head sunk on his
breast, his unlighted pipe clasped
tight in both hands.
When had finished, Pierpont turned
slowly and looked at Barris. Twice he
moved his lips as if to ask something
and then remained mute.
"Yian is a CITY," said Barris, speak
ing dreamily; was that what you
wished to know, Pierpont?"
He nodded silently.
"Yian is a city," repeated Barris,
where the great river winds under
the thousand bridges-where the gar
dens are sweet scented, and the air Is
filed with the music of silver BELLS"
My lips formed the question:

1T lies," said Barris, almost querul-
ously, across the seven oceans and
the river which is longer than from the
earth to the moon"
What do you mean?" said Pier
pont.
"Ah," said Barris, rousing himself
with an effort and raising his sunken
eyes, Il am using the allegories of an
other land; let it pass. Have l not

the center of the Kuen-Yuin. 1t lies
