THE NEW WOMAN.
Margaret Hartwell .was beautiful.

intelligent, industrious and amiable.
Her husband loved her and was proud
of her; but he found, rather to his dis
may, that the little peculiarities which
had amused him in the days of his
short courtship, and,_which‘ had occa-
sionally called forth a' hearty laugh
while on the wedding tour,wvere not
mere girlish whims and fancies. . They
were the straws which indicate _.the
true direction of the wind.
Housekeeping had been started on a
scale suitable to a couplein moderate
circumstances, and . Margaret " had
shown excellent Judgment in the se-

furnishing the usual references, had
been carefully examined as to her
knowledge of housework.

“Lucinda does not belong to the ig-
norant class of women who hire out
before they have fitted themselves for

tress to her husband, as they arose
from the dinner table. “She under-
stands cooking, washing and ironing—-
has learned them as a carpenter
masters his trade.”

“Speaking of the carpenter reminds
me of the kitchen window shutters,"
said Frank; “has Jenkins been here?”

“He sent word that he couldn’t come
before next week, so I bought the
scretvs and hinges and hung the shut-
ters myself.” '

Margaret 'was leaning against the
sideboard. In stature she was barely
medium, but her form was exquisitely
moulded, and she- was remarkably
graceful.

“Did you say that you hung the shut-
ters, Margaret?’ asked Frank.

- “Yes. I thought it unsafe to be
longer without them.”

“Would it not have been proper for
you to confine yourselves within cer-
tain limits—the one to the feminine
and the other to the masculine por-
tion?”

“I beg your pardon, Frank. We did
not regard
feminine. . Albert is larger and strong-
er thanI, but we both have human
faculties.” _

"“Hearafter, my dear,” said Mr. Hart-
well, taking one of her pretty dimpled
hands in his, .“you must leave the
men’s part to me. I don’t want you to
injure your health and make yourself
coarse.”

“The bargain was that you would
practice law and I take charge of the
home; but neither of‘us must be selfish,
and each will call on the other for as-
sistance when needed,” replied Mar-
garet, smiling sweetly. '

“I fear I shall grow lazy,” said Mar-
garet. “I have too much leisure.”

“Don’t you know how to kill time?”
said Frank. “Visit your friends. Go
shopping, read, take naps. You are
not to work all day long. It would wear
you out.”

“No danger. I shall always have my

will go shopping only when Iwant to
purchase,’and will visit only when you
can enjoy the pleasure with . me. I
have been thinking of perfecting my-
self in music for the purpose of giving
lessons.”

“There is no necessity for your teach-
ing, but I would like to have you cul-
tivate your talent 'fOr music.”

ent. What do you intend to do atrthe
office today ?”

“I have a case in court at 1 o’clock,”
answered Frank, reaching for‘his hat

“Don’t you want a clerk?”

“The young man who is reading law
with us will assist me.”

“Wouldn’t you rather have me come
down and clerk for you ?”

“What! Go into court with me?”

“Why not, Frank? Didn’t I tell you
that law was to be my profession, and
that I worked in father’s office for a
year? I had been keeping house
about ten months when you met me,
because mother was obliged to take
Jennie traveling for her health. A1-
bert had begun the practice of med-
icine, and, being younger, I consented
to stay at home.”

.“Did your father allow you to go
into court?” ~

“I accompanied him to every trial."

“Did he confine himself that year to
select cases?” '

“No; he simply observed his rule not
to claim innocence for those whom he
believed guilty.”

“The court room is seldom a fit place
for a woman, Margaret,” said Frank,
smoothing back the hair from her
broad bro-w.

“The details of crime and vice shock
and disgust all good people, especially
the young; but one cannot afford to run
away from everything distasteful.
Your practice is similar to father’s.
Don’t you attend the trials ?”

“You must remember that I am a
man.” . ‘ '

“But you are as pure-minded as I
am, are you not?” she inquired, looking
up earnestly into his face.- '

. “I have endeavored to . keep my
thoughts as pure as those of my kind
can be. There is a difference, you
know, Margaret, in our spiritual na-
tures.” ‘

“What causedithe difference? Is it
a matter of schooling?” .
“Good-by, dearest.”

He kissed her, as he always did when
they parted.
. The two

members of the firm of

L Hartwell’& WilcOx were on the" point

of leaving for their respective homes
one afternoon in, November, when Mrs.
Hartwell Came in. She had called for
Frank, and was very attdactive in her

collar of bright colored Dresden rib-
and scarlet" poppies clustered
againsther black hair under the brim
of. the stylish felt hat. Her? advanced
ideasdid not'include bloomers; and she

 

rejected the prevailing“ fashions only.

Everybody ' admitted that. She was

when they interfered with health and
comfort. ‘

I“Good afternobn, Mrs. Hartwell. I

had the pleasure of seeing you in court
this morning,” said Mr. Wilcox;
“Yes. I ‘ wanted to observe your
Eastern methods.” ' , '
“Did you come down on your wheel,
Margaret?” Frank broke in in rather a

. hard tone. ' . ‘

“No; I remembered that yours‘Was
in the shop, so I rode on the cars.”

“I am glad you take interest in our
profession, Mrs. Hartwell” said Mr.
Wilcox, politely, as’he mounted his bi-
cycle at the office door. “I hope on
some future occasion to learn What
you think of law as practiced in this
part of the country.”

' Margaret made some suitable ans-
wer and glanced at Frank, as if sur-_
prised at his cold manner; As he‘ did
not appear to be inclined to talk, she
kept silence. They went home in the
street car. It was crowded, and when
a feeble old man came in, and no one
oifered him a seat, Margaret promptly
arose and offered him hers. Then
Frank arose also, and requested her to
sit down. She was not in the least
fatigued, while he appeared tired and
worried; so in a charming manner she

= thanked him, and made known her de-
. termination to stand. Some one tit-

tered, and Frank bit his lip and went
out on the platform;

While walking from the car to their
house, the Hartwells were overtaken
by Mrs. Wells, aneighbor.

“I saw you, painting this morning,
Mrs. Harthell, and I wanted to come

over; but baby was so fretful that I_

couldn’t get away from him,” said
Mrs. wen... '

“I" 'was finishing your wor ,”
Margaret’s explanation to Frank.

He had been painting the iron railing
of the stoop; and her words meant
that ‘she had exposed herself to public
gaze/while engaged in unfeminine em-
ployment.

“I have an old-fashioned rocking-
chair which would be lovely painted
white. Would you mind showing me

was

.how to do it?” asked Mrs. Wells.

“Certainly not,” answered Margaret.
“Aren’t you my pupil?”

“Mrs. Hartwell has taught me to
harness our horse, and I can new drive
without troubling anybody. Ydu don’t
know how independent I feel,” said
Mrs. Wells to Frank.

“Is Mr. Wells pleased with yournew
accomplishments?” was his query.

“He used to be a dreadful fogy; but

Mrs. Hartwell does things sograceful-
iy that she has overcome. his preju-

dices. He says imitating her will do

no harm; and what do you think he has
promised us for Christmas gifts? Picks
and shovels!” '
The easy-chair and slippers looked
very tempting in the library, where a
wood fire was blazing on the tiled
hearth. It was a cozy room, with
rugs and cushions and shaded lamps.
Books of various kinds filled the book-
cases, and engravings of noted places
and of historical scenes were here and
there On the'walls. A table, suppOrting

'a small vase of cut flowers, a lamp and '

the latest periodicals, had been drawn
up close to the big arm-chair; and on
this table Frank Hartwell placed his
evening paper, walked'slowly upstairs
to his room in which his wife was re-
moving her wraps, entered, and closed
the door.

He had patiently borne with her foi-
bles, waiting for the improvement
which he hoped; would be produced by
change of environment. Familiarity
with her surroundings, however, had
only served to remove restraint; her
visit to the court-room was the last
straw, and he felt it incumbent upon
him to exercise a husband’s authority.

He began by explaining to the
young wife the difference between true
and false theories; he pointed out the
errors in which she had been reared;
and, when he had said what should
have been enough to convince her that
her judgment was defective, he told

' her, kindly, but plainly, that she must

submit to his guidance.

“I regret that there is a disagreement
between us,” said Margaret. “Were
you and I the only persons concerned,
my affection for you, and my desire for

peace and harmony, would cause me to'

yield. But even in our love for‘each
other, we must be careful to do nothing
that will retard the progress of civili-
zation. We should not forget that the
future happiness of the human race de-
pends largely upon the physical and in-
tellectual development of woman—”-

“I will make a list, after dinner, of
the public places which you may visit
and of those to which I cannot permit
you to go. I will set down, too, what
you must henceforth consider your
legitimate occupations,” said Frank,
his face pale.and determined.

“You forget, dear, that, although
you are four years my senior, I am
twenty-three. If you have- no objec-
tion, we will go to dinner. May I pin
this rosebud on your coat?”

It was useless to oppose her. She
clung to her tenets with a tenacity that
no argument could weaken. Firm in
her convictions, she went steadily on,
and of course Frank could not resort to
harsh measures. Despite her foibles,
she was a charming woman, and an
affectionate one. If coldness came be-
tween them, both were unhappy. So"
Frank eventually ceased to contend, and
settled down to the enjoyment of all
that was agreeable in the companion?
ship. .

In the end this proved to be a wise

-course. Margaret, appreciating his for-

bearance, began to yield to him in

small ways, and no longer made herself. .

conspicudus in public. Little by little
each left the disputed ground to ad-
vance toward a common platform on
which sthey" may one day stand in per-
fect harmony. Meanwhile," Frank de-
clares he has a most accomplished
wife, and Margaret declares he is fast

’Warhing Against Bogus Mines."
' MONTREAL, Sept. 19.—In the Dominion
parliament Mr. Bostock, member for Yale,
has urged the government to collect and
distribute reliable information concerning
the mineral resources of British Columbia

panies were being put on the market in
eastern Canada, he said in a very loose
and unsatisfactory manner,and sta nments
