Really it was not until this year, ihdashorttiureoulyheforetheassem bling of the constitutitnal convention. that any considerable part of the worn. all of the state begali to take enough in terest in the question to form any opin- ion about it. Feminine sentiment ro specting woman suffrage was undiscov‘ erable, for practically there was none outside of the small number of unrepre- sentative feminine agitators. Even women who had broken through the re- straints which oldtime conventions put upon the enlargement of the sphere of their activities gave little thought to the subject. They were too much occu- pied with their struggle for social free dam to have time to spend in contend. ing for political privileges. The mesa. includig the most intelligent, passed the' subject by with odor indifleronee. Suddenly, a few months ago, a great change occurred. The question of wom- an suflrage began to interest women of the very social circles in which before it had always been ignored. A strong wand decided feminine sentiment as to the subject began to be manifested, and serious discussions of it took place in quarters where once its very mention would have provoked derision. The ad. vocacy of woman suffrage became even fashionable. but it provoked correspond- ing opposition, and the division of son- timent was sharp. Petitions in favor of the measure were counteracted by patio tions against it, and when the constitu- tional convention met the were between two fires. No ti " osition before them has excited so muo public interest as this of woman suf- frage, and their decision has been anx- iously awaited by many thousands of women in all parts of the state who hitherto have taken only it reflected in- terest in political questions. The agitation for woman suffrage, therefore, has made great progress very rapidly. It has not succeeded in its first real battle, but it has demonstrated that it is a force powerful enough to make its future victory probable, if not inevitable. It has made the question a serious question of practical politics by finally arousing feminine interest in it to a wide extent. so that more than one- tiiird of the vote in the constitutional convention on Wednesday was favor- able to tho innovation. That is as well as the advocates of it could have hoped to do reasonably, considering the exist- ing division of feminine sentiment as to the proposition. The result of this initial contest indicates that whenever the women of the state generally risk for the ballot they will get it. Win-n- ever they ugrm in wanting to vote, men will give lhvm the privilege of voting. ——Ncw York Sun. \Vomcn as \Vnge Barriers. Tho lu-aith of that division of women workers which may be called profes- sional t'oriipur‘cs favorably with that of their more favored sisters, if to’bavo nothing to do is to be considered as fa- vored. Work itself does not hurt wom- an. In the occupations which show a percentage of ill health it is proved to be the accompaniments of work, before mentioned. which are tho factor induc- ing ill health. It must always be difficult to cour- pile statistics covering the moral life of men or women, but so for as informa- tion can be collected it proves that girls who work for their living are girls who prize virtue and chastity. Vice is al~ ways ready to welcome new devotees, and in a certain sense the girl who chooses it has less struggle for her food and clothing than they have who work 18 hours a day doing plum sewiiigor working in stores at 05 a week. In fac- tory towns it is customary to condemn the girls who dock on the streets at night, and who lll‘o noisy and conspicu- ous there, but it is well toremeinbcr that those evenings are the girls' relaxa- tion, and they may be loud without be- ing sinful. The former comes from a lack of gontlo brooding. not always from depravity. (ii-edit In due to these Women who value so highly that intangible Womanly virtue that they retain it through temptations outward and iii- ward. The economic evils of wommworkors may be summed up in those paragraphs: Insufficient wages. imperfect health. Lack of education. The grinding poverty which forbids any culture. The uniltness of the workers' lives for those of the mothers of coming gen- erations. The temptations to seek evil rather than good. ~D. W. Morrell in Home and Country. Women's Fads Nowadays. lira.

On Sixth avenue, just below Four teenth street, New York, is a jewelry arm which consists of two young we!» on. Thihe are several women who carry on the jewelry businem with men to do the work, but these girls are expert jewelers themselves. They were both brought up in the business by their is- ther. and when he died the girls were competent to carry it on. They make many lovely rings to order, but their specialty is watch mending. Both are skilled workwmiien. One is reckoned among the finest watch repairers in New York city and understands the mechan- ism of imported Swiss watches that are too much for many old hands.

Both youngwomen are bright pretty, intelligent, and nothing on the sign or about the establishment would for an instant suggest that the business was entirely handled by two young women. They are doing well. they say, and get~ ting ahead in the world. Amelie Rives of Today. Mrs. Chunier has a strong face, reg ular features and with a chin of firm~ new.

But has she reached the zenith of her aspirations, or does she still dream that she will write a book which will create more comment and more criticism than “The Quick or the Dead?" No one can fathom that question by gazing at her handsome. face. Her life abroad and tho homage that has been paid her have robbed her of the ingenu- ous girlhood ways which her friends know and loved so well in her rural home. That is not saying she is not sin- coro and not as friendly as over. it means that silo has had to moot society and learn its diplomatic poiitencss.-—— Exchange. For Her Mainly Foot. Cotton, lislo and silk stockings are all worn. Many women. myself among the number. prefer a cotton to alislo thrcad stocking, inasmuch as the twist of the thread in the lislo ones irritates the soles of the feet. Dark blue and black stockings arc liked for street wear, except when tan slim-s nro worn, and then, of course, the etmkings match the shoes. The navy blue stinking is usually chosen by those who find that the dye from a black stocking affects their skin. This is by no means com- mon, but the very minute it is discov- ered one should cause wearing the black and select another color, or else Wear white, for one never knows to what ex- tent a skin disorder may go. With gray or scarlet shoes or slippers tho stockings are chosen to match, and these may be got in silk at a much lower price than is given for black once. Many women have discovered that the Wear- ing of suspenders pulls a silk stocking so that it “railroads."whicii means “goorlby” to the stocking, and so for this reason the Wearing of the garter above the knccs is gaining favor—Isa bol A.

A writer in Womankind says that the great question for women today should be not the ballot, but justice, the exac- tion of the same code of morals for men and women, the treatment of a man as a moral leper, let alone by women or- erywhere if the woman is to become an outcast. That is a better question than the one of the ballot. That is equal rights: that is equal wrongs. The bodily pure women are not always mentally pure, but let those who are in the posio tion from which “stone throwing" is possible stone both or none and refuse the hand of fellowahip to both or none. There is more equal rights in this queer tiou than in that of the ballot in any shape. PrtucuaAlla.
