WOMEN LAWYERS.

Women lawyers, writes Isabel Giles
Of the New York bar in the October
Case and Comment, the Lawyers
Magazine, are an innovation in the
professional world today. They came
in with the century. 1t is universally
acknowledged that men have assumed
natural leadership in this particular
profession. and as lawyers have rem
dered untold service to the state in
many other lines as well. Have we
any reason to suppose that woman,
given fair field, will in the years to
come. win laurels that may be con-
sidered at all commensurate?
In actual practice today, taking
into consideration the very few years
that have elapsed since women began
to strike out for themselves, they are
in evidence in many states; and, in
representative cities, as in smaller
ones, there may be found from one to
a dozen women lawyers. They have
begun their life work with something
of the pioneer spirit, in the face of an
undesirable handicap of which they
are keenly conscious.
They have gradually built up indie
pendent law practices ranging from
the very moderately remunerative to,

volving fees that even a successful
lawyer OF the other sex blessed with
attractive referee appointments and
political proppings)-regards with re-
spect. However, the record break

press everywhere as curiously in

Women lawyers have in all proba-
bilfty come to stay. Before the half

OPENING NIGHT AT COlORED

SPLENDID SUCCESS.

The opening of the Colored Railroad
Mems Assn's. new quarters at 2l2
18th Ave. So, on Wednesday evening
was a grand success. There were
about 800 persons present. The build
ing, which includes "a rooms located
in the former district" and is one Of
the most luxuriously furnished
apartments in the city. Special floral
decorations were made for the open
ing night. The guests were furnished
souvenir badges and flowers. The en-
tertainment consisted Of selections by
Prof. Seymour's Orchestra of Six
pieces-Miss Blanche Washington and
R. w. Coles vocalist and Miss Maytie
Kearney pianist, and Kid Carter, traps,
Miss Ethel Hudson vocalist and Carl
Thornton, pianist, Miss Adah Smith
and Scott Atkins of the Twin
City Stag Club featured their hits by
request. The singing Of each enter
tainer met with popular approval.
Edridge Williams, the comedian sang
some good songs. r. w. Coles special
lied with his own song, Fetch 1t
When You Come" which is a sensa-
ton. Mr.. Geo. w. Holbert made an
appropriate address of welcome to the
guests of the evening. The lunch
served by J. P. Jackson, was one OF
the best. Each guest was served
abundantly. Messrs. Bert Thompson
and Fred s. Carver spared no pains
to make every thing agreeable. Frank
Fisher and James l.. Pollard received
the patrons and assisted the manage
ment in a way cereditable to them
selves and highly satisfactory to all.
Mr.. Emmett Akin the steward had
charge of the buffet, assisted by Bur
rell Morrow, and the service was very
good. Nearly everybody wanted Zum-
elweiss, and enjoyed it. Several corks
were popped. There was gathered
together a faction, who are the jolly
good elbows and represent class who
only desire a chance to amuse them
selves in their own way, which from
the department was far better than
that of some of the better classes. 1t
was a pleasant evening, due to the
efforts of Fred. 8. Carver, pres, and
Bert. Thompson, sec'y.-treas., of the
Railroad Mems Assn, which we hope
may prove to be beneficial to its mem
bers and friends. 1t was recently in
corporated and established as Club
for railroad men and their friends.
