THE SELF-EDUCATED WOMAN
A Library of Good Books for a Cor
ner Out of Earshot of the
Tea Table.

When all is said and done, those of
US who are really educated are self
educated. The best that schools and
colleges can do is to teach us to read
and tell us what books to read and
perhaps help little to form our taste.
For those of us who have, however,
missed schools and colleges, who have
been busy and perhaps won our leisure
too late, there is still education near
at hand and cheap.
A half-dozen great books much read,
half-dozen OF a dozen good books
constantly returned to and thoroughly
known, will be an education to any
one. 1t has so often been said that
the Bible and Shakespeare furnish a
complete education, that it is a truism
to repeat it For devotional books
every one, Protestant no less than
Catholic, should own that wonderful
book, limitation of Christ" and Cath
Ole no less than Protestant should
own a Theological Germanica-" Then,
because devotion is not always at
white heat. 1.-THE Sayings of Epictetus-
and the Thoughts of Marcus Aureli-
u.s. should be kept for strengthening
and quiet.
For the poets, after Shakespeare,
Milton and Dante preferably in the
little Temple edition, with the Italian
and English side by side), a Shelley
and a Keats, and Palgrave's Golden
Treasury"
For amusement, Bunyan's ~Pil
grim's Progress" and Defoe's Robin,
son Crusoe," Ffelding's tom Jones'"
Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice"
