Yes, the woman of today has no
 excuse for not being more intelligent | than the woman of my girlhood days.
 New York Distinct Species.
 The New York girl,'' came the
 reply, "is a species by herself. dis tinct from all other species of Am
 erican girlhood She is not rude, but she has more gloss than courtesy. | The western girl is almost defiantly independent. l don't like her so well
 as the New York girl. She gets
 pulled this way and that and has to
 become her own defender and fight
 ing man. The southern girl is not
 my favorite either. She has suave
 deceptive way. I don't like her but
 | do respect the Yankee woman. She
 may not be as beautiful nor as pol ished. but you can always rely upon
 her She is so upright, so candid.
 so full of principle.
 But the New York woman is re-
 markable for her infinite never-end- and life, she engages men and her
  think too, that beneath all their feathers, their matinees and their out rageous dressing. they have a firm foundation of religious principle.
 The present style of gown I do not call a dress at all It is mal-
 formation. never saw such out rageously shaped women, corrected
 down to their very thighs, At the
 Mock Parliament held at the Wal
 dorf-Astoria last winter the dresses
 were preposterous. After I had look
 ed around for a while I felt so cross that I could scarcely endure it
 to sit still. l thought l should have to go up and make a speech to those women. But when I saw their faces and realized how they believed them selves to be the top notch of every thing good and desirable. l knew 1t was useless. So I arose and went home
 Morbid Origin of False Hair
 The feminine hats of the day are not hats at all. They are utterly de- void of beauty or grace; and there is another thing l strongly object to. It is the wearing of false hair nN WpITlPIl Dl ANtM UT thihh ih | had no hair at all l should wear a cap. for a switch always has such a morbid origin. False hair is clipped from the head of the convict, or it has come from some poor girl who. through wretched poverty, has been obliged to part with her one remain ing beauty to prolong a half-starved | existence In many instances it comes from the head of the fever | stricken invalid.
 Tn the past we have had some 1 very sensible fashions. but these | drectore gowns belong to France. | They look absurd on the Englishwo- man. thin little Frenchwoman. who is a handful of skin and bone, can wear these styles. but the Am erican girl. who has plenty of good flesh and blood. needs more cloth to cover her.
 II am heartily in favor of ire quent change of mode. especially for the married women. Men are such animals That is their mentality. Their spirituality is so much further below the surface, so much harder to find than a woman's. Therefore. the wife should make a change in her costume as often as possible. It is only a ribbon of a different color in her hair, or some new neckwear. she should not neglect this important function. If the husband cannot have the woman changed he should at least have the dress changed ire quently.
 Great Future For Women.
 "Oh. I see a great future for wo- men now that we've got emancipat- ed. A woman can now have the same education as man and can en- ter the same profession. When was girl such things were inn possible. l am very much interested in prohibition. and I favor suffrage so far that I believe that if women had the ballot, they would soon make drinking not only a vice to be but crime to be punished by law. Give intelligent women the ballot and in one hundred years they would do more morally for the world than has been done by those women who owned a home or had to risk if the nation came to grief.
