Alfred Tennyson Dickens from far
away Australia plunges Boston fem
ininity into gloom by observing that In
respect to ankles "the beefy sort
greatly outnumber those graceful ap-
pendages that linger so much longer
In a mans memory" says the Boston
Globe. This is one Of the effects Of
the recent rainy weather. and is not
to be taken too seriously. Besides, so
far as our observation goes. the criti.
cism is grossly exaggerated. not to
say unfounded. Mr.. Dickens must
have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his time in the shopping district
where. to be frank. the display OF an.
kles is very prosaic Our women who
are striving to be beautiful Of course
will feel downcast over the unartistic
picture that Mr.. Dickens frames. Our
ladies are accustomed to reduce their
weight or increase their avoirdupois.
as the case may be. to become more
VenusIike. but nobody yet has ever ad-
vertised an ankle-reducing emporium.
nor does 1t seem possible that such an
establishment could operate to advan-
tage. Probably this Dickens man. q
perfect Shylock on fashion. would sug-
gest that a pound Of flesh be taken
trom each ankle. 80 that It might lin
ger longer in his memory.

WoMAN's ABILITY.

The late Premier Stolypin's recog.
milton Of the capacity OF women for
public business took very practical
form. which is pleasing to the women
OF Russia in general as we'll as to
the st7ong-minded Dowager Empress
It Is displeasing to men who are can
didates for official honor. as 1t makes
women in certain cases their success
tul rivals. 1t Is true that by an
amendment ordered after the original
PRONUNCIATION Of the order only one In
nve OF the civil service star can be a
woman; nor can a woman rise higher
than the seventh of the twelve ranks
In the service. says the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin. So men will con-
tlnue to monopolize the coveted title
High Excellency." and the chance
that a woman will be cabinet minis
ter Is very remote. One noteworthy
feature is that women receive the
same pay as men in positions Of equal
rating. Women officials are to receive
full pensions. even II they marry be-
fore leaving the service. and their
children will get the same pensions as
II they had fathers in the service
When both parents serve. they will
get almost double pensions. In all
cases. the women are to have the
same salaries. lodging and travelling
expenses as the men. This latter
feature of the Stolypin system is the
one that is likely to make the deepest
impression on the women school
teachers Of the United States.
