Cmcaao, March #4.—What a vast amount of cournge must be required to enable a wom- an to set at defiance tho old-established cus- toms and pet theories with which society has been trammeled during the bygone ages of the world, and throw off the shackles that have been accumulating in strength for so long a period of tine! , Inllude to the daring manner in which wine has been excluded from the refrest- ment tables at the Executive Mansion. Mrs, Lnyes has been tly first to attempt to stay the progress of intemperance at the Capital, and bravely has she accomplished her oblect, How. plainly the results have warranted what her promptitude foreshad- owed when her wine-cup—of all those that incumbered the bonrd—was turned resolutely down beside her plate, her own brave act as romptly followed by the reversing of the President’s goblet, thus showing tothe world his appreeiution of tha sentiments that actuated her in her bold and decided stand. Witness the results: A state dinner with- out wine, the ample board loaded with, deli- encies and surrounded by fainting faces, wiilch, though « twinge of regret might now and then intrude, were none the less inter- esting because no red wine discolored the Nps and dashed through the arteries in the wild danco of death. Would that tho world were filled with just such women as Mrs. Hayes, who, knowing Bister Anno, | Constant Render, the right, would buldly strike out In its de- fense In spite of custom and {ts many wor shipers. Would that the work of reforma- tion so grandly begun and thus far so suc- cessful might be carried on in the sans gulet manner in which It was inaugurated, We will hope that the wife of the coming President will ave that the ball set in motion by the noble jndy who at present presides iy be kept rolling by her fortunate sue- cessors,—thnt her elforts may not be entirely Jost upon the work. And Indeed they will not be, for, no matter how Jax may be the principles of her successor, the influence she has cast about her in her brave endeavors to Deneilt humanity will carye its way through the eyeles of tline us endless and enduring as eternity. ‘There is no person In the world that does not expect some influence elther for the good of community or for its Injury, How much more, then, will such decked acts of wisdom coming from ladies of high standing and prominent position, and heralded to the world through the press, be appreciated and re spected by the community which such loyal deeds are designed to beneilt, There aro many different degrees of fntluence, and many distinct natures to distribute that Influ- ence, Could wo always determine just how tar out the ripples set in motion by our acts would cease to be discernible on the sur- face of Iite’s mighty ocean, we might be able to decide on just the. amount of iniluence for good or evil for Which we are responsible, As it 1s, we can only judge from the elfects that come to our Immediate knowledge.

PLAIN AND SENSIBLE TALK. Tp the Editor of. The Chicago Tribune, Cmicaco, March 2.—I enjoyed yery much the reading of a letter ina recent issue of The Homo relative to tho instruction of young girls fm domestic duties, 1t would have been a great gratification had the writ- er gono more particularly into the considern- tlon of woinan’s work outside of the home circle. I think that Is a phase of the subject the Inportance of which Is not realized by those who, having married and given “ hog- tages to fortune,”—and of course marringeto f& womnn always presupposes a shelter of some kind provided by auothor,—are so ab- sorbed Jn tholr own cares and duties as to have but Mitte idea of the great number of women who are fighting tho battle of Ife for themselves and others unnided; and a hard battle it Is; oftentimes made suv by the very incompetence of women themselves, through lack of business traning, By the way, What 2 queer thing 1s this business, There is nothing benovolent or sentimental about It, and yet, Jike charity, It “covers a muititude of sins’? And this {Incompetence springs chiefly from two causes; the false, pernicious idea that all women must marry, and are anxious to be elven in marriage, and that fear which in spite of our democratic institutions, in spite of the reverence with which we gaze on uv great business-iman, and of the alacrity with which gvo get down on Our Iarrow-bones to. arorahitp the golden re- sults of strecess,—that fear witleh makes many of us cowards,—the fenr of losing caste, Lhope no one will forone moment suspect me of any intention to deery marriage or the beauty of a happy home.

Yet itis very hard to, make people think 80, I overheard u conversation not long since be- tween a’ Indy of ny acquaintances and an -Bnallshman, and It ran this way: Mr, “Uh, well, you know, Nature intended wom- en to stay at home, you ‘know.

They must marry somo one, you know.” pa eae It enn’t be done. Some of ua have ‘loved and lost,’ and some of us like the little roast pigs which ran around erylng, ‘Come ent us,’ have roamed the highways and byways pleading, ‘ Marry_us, marry us,’ and still weare unwed,” “Mr. E.— “Oh, you're chafing me, you know. They can marry if thay’ want to, you know." Ant this was the only view that intelligent for- elgner would take of, the case.

Dit not Katie know this to be the Invaria- ble answer? Or did she thinkin the Inno- cence of her heart thatan exception would be made in her favor? Lwonder If those who replied to her appeal In, that strain ever lindany such experience as Katie's? It is very casy for one to give such advice when onehas a kind husband and ahappy home. Do those women who told her to smile practice what they prench?

Wealth—accumulated production—is an essential clement of clvilization, Labor Is necessary to production, The established forms of Inbor, however, fre that men and women of refinement recoil from most of them.
