Another parasol that almost walks off with the suit is of wistaria silk,~ across which fly three white sparrows. Two of these birds perch on the brim of the wide sailor, which is made of wistaria taffeta like the costume, so smart with its fringe trimming.

To see Ameri- can women at their work is inspiring I have seen them in the midst of a crowd without any nervousness—calm, dainty little ladies.

I have seen them ruling huge organizations with simple ges- tures—noble women. I have seen them teaching in schools—not the old world's | resigned, sour old maid type, but lively, | gay and happy beings, and 1 have seen the schools, living witnosses of wom- en’s labor! In their farseeing ideas is consumed the pedantry of that model of Swiss origin. dividuality, each talent, is Besides the scientific laboratories, there are studios of every art, studios for daily necessities, dres: king, cooking, housekeeping.

Happy, happy chil- dren, who loving life—an old Greek ideal revived and adapted to the life of today The gay and radiant community of these children has grown to the great- est ideal of American woman - her no- ble comradeship, the new female free- masonry. You enter this country a foreigner and are taken t the hand and guided under the protec- tion of this sisterhood.

She first men can stir | hypocritical comedy for the sake of domestic peace; the way cleared for the present healthy state of matrimony. Every reform launched by women is & priori rejected in Europe. Here a wo- man can have the courage to preach a , new religious faith, and thousands, both men and women, accept this new beati- tude. The highest meaning of feminism is misinterpreted by the word “independ- ence.” Independence has an anarchis- tic and exciting sound, steering the man against an unknown danger which will diminish his autocratic power. The American woman uses the liberty ¢ bestowed upon her with a gracious dig- nity, and the importance of her high intention is manifested in the fact that men fight with her and against her. In this country there is no longer the pitiful smile of the world's lords for a ridiculous and vain cause. Man has laid in woman's hands the supreme task of implanting the fundamental physical and moral principles for the future of the race; he has imposed upon her weak shoulders the heaviest responsibilities, and she stands in her duties serene, just and impartial.

Those who are the pillars of the happiness of mankind must be in | the high councils, where are built the you dis- | laws for the same mankind. 4 THE CHARM OF COURTESY. \"H\' don’t all women learn that it is quite possible to combine affabil- ity with dignity? In daily intercourse with fellow beings it would make this old world a much more agreeable place to live in if women were more consid- erate,- especially of each other. Some women dare not converse with their® maids for fear they might lower them- selves in their own estimation, nor will they be civil to a clerk in a store for fear they might be expected to rec- ognize them outside. Thank heaven well bred, intelligent women have no such fears, for such sentiment is snobe bery pure and simple. There are women, and their tribe is increasing daily, who realize all the beautiful opportunities they have to help other women—all that position, wealth and the freedom of speech give them. Such women talk freely with domestics and thus cement their affece tionate respect It is noticeable that such women never leave a kitchen, market or shop i clinging gowns?" he likes o shes, tomatoes and scallions for im- |fond of thos nats romptu salads and unhulled berries| “Yes, indeed; o dip in powdered sugar.” | me for about f but the most ring summer.
