Women and Fiction.

This land of ours does certainly
seem to belong to woman. Witness
when it comes to literary matters and
especially to the story magazines
the fact that majority OF all the
tales and all the verse therein Is
written by women authors and. one
rather thinks, written for women
readers mainly.
When We say written for women
readers. we mean that the kind, the
general character OF stories we see in
the magazines is such as to appeal to
woman's taste more than to mans. To
illustrate, there Is much prominence
tons of the gowns and slippers and
accessories worn by the heroines and
fgurantes throughout the stories.
They are feminine. decidedly. those
tricks of fiction.
Now, the question is: Why may this
be the case? Is 1t because the women
Of America are more inclined to 60
in for the writing OF short stories than
the men? Or is it that the magazines
believe the reading public to consist
largely OF women, and in consequence.
prefer to publish fiction written by
feminine authors who are thought to
know Just how the women readers
can be pleased most surely and con-
-inually? Or else is 1t that the women
have far more talent, generally. in
the line Of writing. than the menu

Circumstances OF the Admission Of
Gerrit Smith to Bar Of New

Judge Davis.

Il suppose that no lawyer who has
been given a more or less prominent
niche in the history of our county was
older at the time OF his admission to
the bar than was Gerrit Smith when
that event happened in his life" said
the late Judge Noah Davis OF the New
York bench. who gained national prom
inence in 1873 when he presided over
the trial which resulted in the con-
viction of that arch CRATER. William
M. Tweed, on charges Of forgery and
grand larceny.

the country's leading abolitionists and

One of the most famous managers
In the history Of the worlds largest
clearing house association-that of

that time he carried the clearing

those of 1873 and 1S93-and several
lesser financial disturbances. No

The truth is that great" can only

today-and he is no longer writing.

Mr.. Arnold Benefits, and there are
others Of both sexes who come with

full of the new ideas about society
and politics and marriage, and they
handle their themes with distinction
and sometimes with power. But it
ends at that. It would be quite as
