HE major | By Nixola Greeley-Smith ity of I mankind admits the charms of th coquette, and admirera may be found for al- moat every var riety of woman under the sun. Even the vixen {as not without honor, save in her own family. But she who commands the r universal love d and respect of | | Nixola Greeley-Smith, ™&nkind Is un- | donbtedly the! woman of pla- | cld temperament, whom Pope eulogiaed a lstress of herself, though China | fall’ She who presents an unruffled | | front under the scourge of adverse cir- cumstances must ultimately triumph, no! matter what tribulations may come to her. And the placidity which enables some women to bear trouble without a murmur ia certainly the greatest dower thet fate can give them, Mhe perverse work’ is always readiest ‘with ius sympathy when it has not been avked for it—when it Is, Indeed, rather avolted. “Do not ask, and tt shall be) given” seams the precept which con- trols our sympathetic sighs and tears, And a stolcal indifference «seme the only coat of matl by which the slings | and arrows of outrageous fortune mey bo blunted and turned aside Lueky, indeed, {s the woman whose natural evenness of temper enables her t smile pineddly in the face of disaster whtvh would drive her less equable sis- ter Into nervous prostration or brain fever, But even those not oo blessed do well to waich her, and by so doing learn the secret of her placiity. It ts not always, however, the good, @mfortable woman of bovine aspect and Instincts who presents this armor- proot exterior to misfortune, Oftener than not, Indeed, the feminine stole ts © Nttle fluff of a woman that the firs epring aephyr might blow away, And she who looks moat ae if a sudden be- enent or worldly loss would sug- gest to her only the possibility of hys- erties and the use of the mneiling-dottle |ia most apt to overcome adversity by the unexpected courage of the front she presenta te it The placid woman, whethor born or seif-mnde, Im the greatest blessing that ean be conferred on her friends. To horself, also, her value is above rubles, For she knows nothing of the thousand | besetting worries that harass the wo man of nervous temperament. Bhe may [de Indeed she frequently is, @ It siupld.

Yet everybody would _ Probably agree that there are points about the Co-| Operato, its past, its present and its hopes which make dt something to be considered in this connection, The Co-Operato began, practically, with a little work- ing girl crying in the street because it was dark and Mie had no place to go, The enterprise is eleven years old now, and it provides forty little working girls with rn home. It would be found on inquiry that a sur-| singly small number of peopie have ever heard of tho Blace. But even in obscurity {t cherishes ambitions, and one of these is to expand so that it may accommodate eighty instead of half as many girls, For that it wants the $18,000. At No. 348 West Fourteenth street—there {a the Co- Operato. It {s also usually in debt, for the lodgers pay Only $2 per week for rooms and boord. If they get to too much money they have to leave to make room for poorer girls. | Possibly it is the recent declaration of Miss Alice Bmith, a Yorkville probation officer, that New York's greatest need is of good homes for working girls that has brought this modest establishment into wider notice, But certainly the Co-Operato and its ambitions are in- | teresting. ’ "BOY" CONGRESSMEN, , Chicago finds tu her surprise that she has bestowed Congressional honors on three “boy candidates,” aged Pespectively twenty-six, twenty-seven and twenty-nine years, In the case of Anthony Michalek, who is pro- Moted from a bookkeoper's desk, the whim of popular favor has come near breaking precedents. But the boy Congressman 's not so much a novelty as he seems. John Randolph was in Congress at twenty-seven, James Mon- moe at twenty-six, Madison at twenty-seven, Josiah Quincy, nominated at twenty-eight, was defeated by the "query whether his party had a cradle for him. But he in ot thirty-two, as Franklin Pierce did at twenty- 2 Polk at thirty, and {n recent times Sherman Hoar thirty. The only concern Chicago need have about boy Congressmen is as to whether they have the stuff in them, ») Along with the election of the boy Congressmen comes hd that “young men will rule in the next Cabinet.” In particular it will be difficult for Mr. Roosevelt to ak precedents established by earlier Presidents, Ham- Was Secretary of the Treasury at thirty-two, Cal- ”~v at as Becretary of War at thirty-five.
