ITALIAN WOMEN IN PROTEST.
Seek Change Of Law That Now Makes
Them Subservient to Their
Husbands.

An Italian woman by the law OF
Italy has no right to her property
after marriage and no control over her
lowry. the interest Of which her hus-
band may spend as he likes. though
he may not touch the capital. which
must be returned to her In the event
Of a separation.
She cannot sign or draw q check on
her own account even for her own
money. and her evidence is not accept
ed In q law court without her bus
band. She is entirely subservient to
MIN and he can shut her away from
all her friends. She loses her nation
Atty on her marriage with q for
eigner.
Under these circumstances 1t Is
scarcely surprising that of late there
has been a powerful agitation for the
suffrage among Italian women and
one or two test cases have come be-
fore the law courts. A debate took
place recently In parliament ON the
subject and q committee was appoint
ed to investigate the laws affecting
women and the desirability Of confer
ring the franchise upon them.
The Queen D0wager Margherita
takes q personal interest in the ques-
ton and recently during the National
Congress OF Italian Women held In
Rome she entertained the delegates
at a monster party at her palace.
when she expressed her sympathy
with the movement and the hope that
Italy would be among the first of the
great modern nations to proclaim the
acknowledgment of women.

BEGAN BOYS TIA. HING EARLY
Pittsburg Man Of Affairs Has Good
Scheme for Teaching Small
Son Responsibility.

Living in the east end is a young
captain of industry who Is training
his ten-year-old son for the same re-
spOnsible position in life. Response
bility. he says, is one of the first
things that should be taught boy. 1t
will hold him in check all through
life. he argues. His wife agrees with
him, and it is perhaps needless to
say that the name of their eldest Is
John. They never even thought of
calling him Algernon. John has two
sisters, one eight and the other six.
and John, to a large extent, has been
made responsible for their actions.
He has to see to it that nothing
happens to them while on their way
to school or while they are returning.
He also has to see to it that the can
dy supply of the family is properly
divided. OF course. the parents attend
to the most serious matters. but John
is given to understand that they look
to him for reports or explanations on
a whole lot of matters. The lob"
is not allowed to wholly interfere
with Johns own necessary recreation.
but he must always keep in mind that
there are Others" and that life is
not all one grand song" 1t has not
"Over-matured" him. 1t has only re-
suited in making him q very sensible
boy. He now goes about things with
a confidence in himself that augurs
well for the future. and his little sis
tiers think John is the greatest boy
or earth.
The boys father says that he has
every confidence that when John be-
comes old enough to enter the firm he
will add strength to it from the begin
ning.-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

LONDON REvELS IN NEW FAD.
Bali Breakfasts" Are the Latest

Ball breakfasts" are the very latest
thing. Sometimes they are served at
the conclusion of the dance in the
house where 1t has taken place. In
other cases a friend of the ball giver
offers to take q number of the guests

only for women, as the Victorian nov

Fatigue soon tells after Is, and at all
times 1t is brave woman who faces
the morning light after dancing all
night. There is a story told of one
young matron. who, having undertaken
to give a ball breakfast, found, on con-
sulting her mirror, that she was, as
she expressed 1t, looking like her own
mother" whereupon she promptly
fetched from her wardrobe q domino
and mask. and, putting them on, went
down thus arrayed to preside at the

adopted since by several others. and 1t

COST Of MUSICAL EDUCATION
Ambitious Singers Need Large Amount
OF Money During Their Season
Of Training.

The recent revelation of the huge
cost of educating a young woman for
the operate stage should have deter
rent effect on the ambitions of the
thousands Of American girls who have
been hoping to rank with the Sem
brichs and Melbas of the future. not to
mention the Gardens and Farrars.
One young woman of renOwn as q
lyric histriOn has lately paid back to
her early benefactOrs the cost of her
musical education. to wit, $4,000.
with more or less interest 1t may
have been noted that in returning the
money she was careful to let her
left hand know what her right hand
did. The announcement Is now made
that one OF her most prosperous rivals
has lately returned $34 900 to the ben
efactOr who secured to her the advan-
tages OF training in the musical
schools Of Europe. That this fact Is
divulged In the very city in which
the patron of the other singer dwells
is. of course. purely accidental. The
two incidents seem to open a new
chapter In the history of the operate
stage.
Gone are the old illusions of the gar
ret and the crust. the persistently
hopeful struggle with adversely, which
have been associated with the max
ings of musical artists of the fairer
sex. They must ride in victOrias, dine
with the wealthy, and wear silk and
jewels while they are cultivating
their vocal gifts and learning to ex-
press emotions. The cost of the two
or three years training of a prima
donna far exceeds the sum an old
fashioned American father would have
thought needful to educate thoroughly
and prepare for useful citizenship

BEAUTY OF GAY CITY WAVES
Great Sculptor 0eplerss the Increasing
Uoliness In Evidences In the
French Capital.

Is Paris dirty? Is its beauty dimin-
.shing? These are two questions
which have been much In debate for
The last few months.
The complaint that the fine old
square, the Place VendOme, Is now
'ornamented" by huge signboards In
black and gold. and even by illumfn-
ated sky signs, and that the Rue de
Ia Paix is dotted black and white by
puddles and paper, is not the only one
that one hears. What has injured one
Of the most distinguished quarters OF
Paris-a want of energy or severity
In the street cleaning and archi-
tectual departments of the municipal
council-has had much the same eject
elsewhere, and, after the question
about the dirtiness of Paris has been
answered in the Affirmative (t0o en-
phatically. perhaps) the question about
the waning of its beauty seems bound
to be answered in the same sense,
with scarcely less emphasis.
NJ. Rodin, the sculptor, who goes to
the ancient Greeks for his ideas on
most subjects, as he goes to them for
inspiration in his art. declares that
Paris is growing uglier day by day.
This he lays to the account of the de-
p. Drable unitarian spirit of present,
day architects. 'They think of moth.
ing but what the building is to be used
for" he says. when they have made
a bridge that is strong enough or q
hall that is high enough-little matter
what is to be exhibited there-pic-
lures. machinery or pigs-they are sat.
isfied.
Little they care for beauty. and lit
tie have they of the sense of the beau.
tiful. The ugliness, the brutality of
their masses of stone and iron. appear
to them q sign of progress: for myself
1t seems nothing but barbarism."
