south-from Burmah to Afghanistan-
east and west-and even in the semi
civilized jungle provinces of Central
India a cry for equal rights has been
sent up by the women of the most pop

In India the close system Of 'pur-

the caste prejudices, the racial hatred

two predominating religious faiths;

ignorance, iron clad traditions and.

against any innovation, especially rel
ative to women, made India appear to
be the last country where 1t would be
possible for women to voice their
grievances and desires. But India has
arisen from her almost prehistoric
lethargy and the world stands as
founded.
1t is a peculiar fact that priests OF
all denominations have thundered
their condemnation against the femin-
list movement from the pulpit. 1t
would seem that there is an all-prevail-
ing fear that the equalizing Of men and
women in the eyes of society and OF

PRICE OF A SOUL
How One Girl Gave All Her Mon
ey TO Save Another From
Ruin.
BY JOHN LAWSON.

Say, Belle, have you heard the
news? Miss Harrison's going to leave! "
The girls chartered animatedly at
this piece Of information. Flora Har-
rison had been nine years with Kemp
and Waggers; she had started as cash
girl, had become, in the ordinary
course OF events, a saleswoman, and
only two years before was promoted
head Of the millinery department. And
now she was going to leave.
Yes, it's true, girls" she said, smil-
ing. mo. ! haven't gotten a better
job. Fact is, mo- more jobs for me.
I've got $500 saved up, and it's the
country for Flora Harrison, with
boarders and a chicken farm"
And nobody could imagine how she
longed for the country home that she
had planned. Five hundred would
start her! She had been saving for
the whole nine years, and a lucky
plunge in stocks had doubled her saw
ings in a single week. Now she was
through with Kemp and Waggers for
ever.
Her with $500 and me trying to
save ten dollars for an ostrich plume!"
said Belle in deep disgust, The
words and the envious look were
not missed by Miss Harrison. She
knew Belle Bates was a fighty
foolish sort of girl-just the sort
that was in need of some one to take
care of her. She lived alone in a
cheap boarding house, and Jones
of the mems furnishing department
had spoken with her several times.
Miss Harrison had noted how Mr.
Jones piled on the fiattery, and how
foolish little Bellies face lit up when
he approached her. And Jones was
a married man with two children. But
that Belle might not know.
Belle Bates had set her heart on
that ten-dollar ostrich plume. And
ten dollars was as remote from her
as a hundred. Who could save ten
dollars on seven a week, with cloth
ing to be paid for and carfare as
well out OF her meager balance, which
remained after the landlady had been
satisfied? Miss Harrison had thought
of giving Belle that plume, but ten
dollars would make quite a hole in

BETTER THAN AVERAGE HOME
Author Thinks Children Better of
In Institutions Than Under the
Care of Their Own Mothers.

AN orphans home can bring up a
child better than the average moth
er. Seventy per cent. of the Ameri-
can homes are not fit for child to
live IN. They have not the right con
ditions."
Theodore Dresser, the novelist, en-
phasized his words by his favorite
method, that Of rocking backward and
forward vigorously in his chair.
"The parents are losing their In
fluence on their children" he contin-
ued. 1.-THE teachers of our public
schools see more of the child and in
fiuence his point Of view more than
the parent.
"The moving picture show, the
newspaper, the public library, the set
tlement, all are drawing the child
from the home, giving him new ideals
and new point OF view.
I'VE have made fetish of the
home; surrounded IL with false
ideal. We have made It a thing OF
sentiment instead OF reality. Within
4 century I believe We win have turn.

You are mistaken about that" said
Caroline with astonishing resourceful-
ness. This is private house, it isn't

Arrelsford turned to Mrs. Varney.

began, that you refuse"
But before Mrs. Varney could an

brought with him gave way before the
advent of a sergeant and another par

rectly to Mrs. Varney, touched his cap
to her, and began:
Are you the lady that lives here,
maam?"
Yes, l am Mrs. Varney."

Just in time," said Arrelsford,

Cant go through on this order"
said the sergeant shortly.
"You were sent here to" began
Mrs. Varney.
Yes; sorry to trouble you, ma'am,
but we'll have to be quick about it. If
we don't find him here we've got to
follow him down Franklin street; he's
over this way somewhere"
who are you? What do you want?"

ly. unlocking the door, you can go II
you must. But you need a friend more
just at this moment than you have

Belle halted, and the ready tears
gushed from her eyes. She sank into
a chair. Il am 30 miserable" she
sobbed
Miss Harrison knelt beside her.
Tell me about II, Belle" she said.
ITS all right for you, with your

heart on having plume. and / can't
ever save the money And he-he
promised me one II would just have
supper with him-what's the harm?"
Belle, do you know the history Of
those ostrich plumes?" Miss Harrison
asked. well, listen, then. Those
fine, long, knotted feathers are tied
/ by poor girls, poorer than you. by
day and night, TO adorn vain womens
hats. But the girls who make them
they know they'd rather toll and labor
than wear them and lose their souls
and the respect of men and women.
It's only silly. thoughtess women who
put an ostrich feather above their
characters. Belle, dear, you are loved
by an honest man. Isn't his love
better than Mr.. Jones with his false
words and fattery?"
Il know" cried Belle. But how
can marry Frank and live like
drudge? 1t may be all right for some
women, Miss Harrison, but just can't
do IT, And he will never be anything
but an underpaid clerk What is there
before US? l tell you, I'd rather have
ostrich feathers and no character, and
no real love, than be a poor mans
wife. o IL only we had a little money
of our own-just something to put
heart into us instead of this long
round Of drudgery, day after day, till
we grow old-and then nothing"
IF you had money" said Miss Har-
rison gently, what would you do
with it?"
duh uStu " tain u a NAANhCAA
farm" she said But he doesn't hope
for anything now. It's no use, Miss
Harrison; l may be bad, but l must
have that ostrich plume"
Impulsively Miss Harrison took out
her purse wherein, neatly folded, lay
five 500 bills. She had meant to pay
them for the farm that night. Now
she thrust them into the girls hand.
I'm give you this for your soul,
Belle" she said. will you and Frank
leave this city tomorrow, now, with
this?"
Miss Harrison"
II can get plenty more" the elder
woman answered And she raised the
frightened girl to her feet and led
her gently out of the store. She pat
her on a car and looked after her
till the car was lost in the distance.
II wonder why" she mused, you
can't have love and money both at
the same timer"

Dickens in Australia.

1t Is said that when a Scotsman
leaves old Scotia to make his home in
some other land he solaces his exile
with the book OF Robert Burns poems.
and that the Scot abroad comes to be
even better versed in the rhymes of
the peasant poet than the Scot who
has remained at home. It has been re-
marked that the same is true as re-
CARDS the Englishman and Charles
Dickens. W. M. Hughes. acting prime
minister of Australia. goes further
than this and asserts that Dickens
had an important Influence on Aus
tralian democracy. and through men
who read him and loved him, men who
imbibed his hatred of shams and hum.
bugs, who wanted freer and better
conditions, to have some other place
to look to than the workhouse, had
made Australia what It "a today.
