Sir: Will you permit me to say something in
reply to the letter, women in Business The
writer thereof takes it upon himself to bunch
the whole class of stenographers as a "dis-
eustng spectacle Of gum-chewing, tango-lov
ing, masculine females" That there are a
great many of that type is undoubtedly true.
but there are on the other hand, women en-
ployed in Offices of very excellent birth and
breeding, who would not hold those positions
we're it not for the fact that they have those
attributes; in addition to which they are well
educated, well informed and in very many
instances of more than average intelligence.
And among women Of this kind il has never
been found that they lost any of their re-
fnement by going into the business world.
My humble opinion is that Mr. Thurston's
ego is suffering from shock administered
either by a woman or by one Of those "in-
sane" creatures employing women instead of
men to do his work

servants so flush these window boxes with
water that the streams run down the wal, of

NATIONALISM IN LANGUAGE
A Native Czech Refutes Professor
Phelps's Speculations.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. In YOUR last Sundays issue lJuly
1877 Won printed an article by Professor VIII
ion, Ivan Phelps. of Yale University, en-
titled "Nationalsm in Languages Is fretty
and Provincial. Let Dying Languages 10 10
Their Graves. Czech and Gaelic stand IN
the Path of Progress"
Please permit a native Czech who Is DE
voted reader OF The Tribune, to contradict
Professor Phelps's assertion that his mother
tongue is a dying language. Is your learned
contributor aware of the fact that 'hec"
or more correctly Cech) is native equNa'
lent for Bohemian, and that bohemian is
snoken bv a cultured nation in the heart OF
Europe. numbering moro people than there
are Dutch, or Belgians, or Swedes, or Dahes'
etc?
Does YOUR contributor know that Bone
milan is the most highly developed of all the
Slavic languages, of which it is valuable
member? True. the Austrian hapsDurgs
tried to stamp it out in the seventeenth ana
eighteenth centuries; not, however, because
il was valueless or uncouth, but because IL IN
terfered with their plan of the Germanizat'on
of Bohemia. Happily, the attempt failed ana
to-day the Bohemian or Czech language is so
firmly intrenched in the life organism OF the
nation that no persecution can dslodge It,
No. the language Is neither dead nor dying;
nor is it pet of the grammarians, like the
Etruscan. vigorous, modern nation OF
900 900 uses it daily-a nation that haroors
less illiterates than most Of its neighbors-
only per cent.
Professor Phelps will probably be aston
ished to learn that the dying Czech language
boasts translations Of such authors as Poe,
Emerson, Lowell. Longfellow, Whittier,
Holmes, Mark Twain, Bret Harte, etc
Prague, the capital of Bohemia, is one Of the
recognized book centres in Europe. have
a Bohemian encyclopedia (Ottuv Slovnik)
in my library consisting of twenty-eight pom
derous volumes, the work of some LOO Bo-
hemian scholars, and it is my opinion that as
regards thoroughness the Bohemian encyclo-
nadia will bear creditable comparison to the
Encyclopedia Britannica.
Why should the Bohemian be suppressed?
Because il is the vehicle Of understanding
Of small nation? But is not the millennium
Of small nations coming, if the German Aus
trian trust is dissolved as a result of the
great war? Small nations gave to the world
some great men-Belgium, the Incompatible
Maeterlinck; Norway, the thinker lbsen; Den
mark, the astute essayist Brandes; Holland,
an entire school of renowned painters; Bo-
hemia, the tone poets Dvorak and Smetana
the reformer Hus, who preceded Luther by
a century, and others
No. Bohemian is far from dying Ian
guage. If the Allies win the war-and all
Bohemians pray that their arms might be
victorious may be funeral at which
all patriotic Bohemians will turn out en-
masse, but it will be the funeral of the
Hapsburg gravedigger, not of the language
which he so assiduously tried to bury.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Thanks for publishing VI. f. j. Gill
games letter in your issue of the 10th inst
The exclamation mark placed after the cap
ton Saved by the Irish" was indeed well
deserved for seldom has such choice piece
of romancing come to light
Corporal Cunningham, from Sligo, un-
furled the green flag at the Marine, shouted
erin Go Bragh!" and, according to your
correspondent, cit is believed that this act
led to the German onslaught on Paris being
stoned. to France being saved and to the
whole war situation being altered" Well,
il that isn't the best ever! Levers heroes,
to say nothing of Homer's, haven't leg TO

But why didn't the gallant corporal have
recourse to such strategy sooner? The race
from Mons TO the Marine was to the swift
and perchance he was out of breath. Yet If
such simple measures were so effective at
the Marne, why have they not been used
since? A little more effective wizardry would
be a godsend to the Allies.
II is too bad that the corporaps services
were not available in his native town of
Sligo in days gone by. for surely there was
sore need Of them. One such occasion was
when Sir Frederick Hamilton and his Brit
ish troops set fire TO the undefended town
in the dead Of night, burning and Staying

Dominican priests in the Abbey. A few

who surrendered were disarmed, and they,

Real Refinement Not Lost.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In answer to Mr.. Raymond Thurston
on women in Business" one might sug-
gest that:
Real refinement" is not lost by contact
with commercialsm. That there is a visible
distinction between such and the "gum-chew-
ing. tango-loving. peanut-brained, painted
faced army" of women in the world, many Of
them in New York. is. however, a self-evi-
dent fact and one not to be ignored. Happily,
though. great numbers of women belonging
TO the first type those who possess real re-
fnement. are intelligent. efficiently trained,
fit women of business, and as such
they necessarily travel on the cars twice a
day or more That they are treated with
less respect than their home sisters is a
fallacv. In nine cases out of every ten the
treatment accorded woman anywhere will
rest entirely with herself.
That few real busy, up-to-date concerns
ever employ women in any capacity Is an
altogether erroneous statement backed with
10 facts TO substantiate II.
