My dear Mr.. DOugherty:-
You may remember that I took up
the study of your system of shorthand
somewhat as a pastime, but soon be-
came so interested that I went at it
earnestly and mastered it sufficiently
to put it to practical use in a very short
time. My experience with it has been
such that I wish more young women
who perhaps do not now think of
needing a means of gaining a Hveli-
hood, would take it up as I did for
pleasure and have at their command
SO useful an accomplishment. I found
it not only means of earning a very
eomforta BILE living, but that it opened
up to me new opportunities which I
could not have otherwise had. There
is practically no limit to the success
one may have if he will determine to
make shorthand absolutely his tool,
and in addition to this determine to be
as well informed as possible and to
make the employers interest his own.
I trust you may be BILE to show many
other young women the possibilities of
shorthand, both as an accomplishment
and a thoroughly practical tool.
Ny brother Paul is now in charge of
the Methodist Publishing House at
Santiago. Chile. My cousin, Miss Nora
Barnhart, uses her shorthand to facili-
tate her writing in the first drafts of
her stories. I feel that our family has
reason to feel very kindly to you. Very
sincerely yours,
A

stitches and pains in the back; the grow

swoolen eyelids or ankles; leg cramps:

it is without delay. I will send you a

Egyptian faith and those of modern
christianity. They worshiped a god
dess who is pictured holding in her
arms a baby, whose name is Horis, or
the rising sun, very similar to our
Madonna pictures and images. She
pointed out the vital influence on every
act of their lives, exerted by the rell-
gious tenets Of the people, and especi-
ally the doctrine of the resurrection
1t was their custom to place in the
tombs a scuIptored image of the dead,
so that in case their process of en-
balming failed to preserve the body
absolutely the spirit, Ka, would still
have a way of Identifying its corporeal
dwelling when it returned to its former
habitation. Thus sculptoring attained
a high degree of excellence, never yet
surpassed by any other nation; though
it afterward fell into decay The Egyp-
tians moreover, We're self taught. If
they got their learning and their skill
from any other nation, there is no
trace of it to be found But. like Min
erva, their wisdom sprang full grown
from the forehead of the parent god.
A charming blouse model is this, to
be made of cream silk, or it would be
almost equally pretty made of cash
mere and trimmed with stitched bands
of silk. 1t is in modified peasant style
gathered slightly at the neck into a
narrow shaped yoke of cream lace

Robert Burdette has received a
challenge from Bertha L. Scott, repre-
senting the anti-suffrag asking him
to meet her IN debate on the question
of ballots for women, since he has
championed the cause of suffrage. HiS
reply to her was as follows:
I must decline acceptance of your
challenge. I am not, and have never
been a woman fighter" I fight for
her, and do my best to help her secure
privileges to which I think she is en-
titled. But [ have never taken the
field against her.
But=and I am sure this will appeal
to your own anti-suffrage sentiment
and teaching that women should ever
shrink from the unnatural glare of the
public platform, and constantly abide
in the sweet security of the home, I'M
der the care of man, her heaven ap-
pointed protector will be more than
delighted to meet your champion.
Select any one of your Committee
of Fifty and I will meet him gladly
In a righteous cause it is a joy to Crap
pie with a man. But I don't know
how to fight a woman. I have never
tried.

WI enhance American interest in the Chinese revolution if it cnhsts
this wise, witty, inqusitive Oriental with an Athenian passion for

WI. however, is no Lafayette. He knows too much, and is not
likely continuously to espouse any cause which may seem to represent
tn triumph of hope over experience. His temperament is more that
q. Voltairc, iconoclast rather than enthusiast, but a genial Voltaire.
He has seemed to be another Erasmus, a penetrating critic rather
than . destroyer or builder, a chartered lbertine Of speech with all
icense to say tho things that would be other mems undoing.
WI has been alternately in disgrace and favor, and in some
qnarteu his Identification with revolution may be credited to pique.
u il better to credit it to his progressive spirit, to his study Of
western Institutions, to his thirst for novel sensations and loyalty to
impulses that promise them. He has been pretty nearly everything
else but . revolutionist Why not be that also2 The Oriental who
has been in turn merchant, scholar and traveller, who took up vege-
