There was once a girl who entered a newspaper Office for the first time in her life to have the editor ask her: “Well, Miss Blank, and what are your specialties ?” It was a poser. r. The girl thought over the many, many things that she couldn’t do; her ignorance upon “How to make a tea- gown out of a winter ulster,” “How to make fruit cake out of bread and water,” not to speak of all the things constituting the average woman writer’s “specialties. ” Then she had mihspiration. “Well,”she said, “I’m :lmmy.” Suhhha. specialty or such an ex- perienceatstl‘eis Is not mentioned in the little book, “Journalism for Wo- men,’.’ lately issued in England. Per- hapsthis is because the little book claims to be “a practical guide” and doesnot deign to consider’ even im- practical‘lincidents. Thailaeokrstartsout by saying that it isionl'ya StevenSOn -who;,_can say “I never remember being bored,” but be- dore very many: ,pages the reader is .L-onvincedfithat SteVenson himself merrid have been bOred had he read this book. 7., :‘ , , ‘ i The: fundamental principle upon which the book is based is as follows: Thatthe woman journalist is, on the nhole,-. the faultiest, most imperfect creature-lathe world. In detail the charges are as follows: First, that women journalists are, as a class, unreliable; second, that they are inattentive to detail; third, that they Show. alack of restraint. ~ ‘Suéb-charge's concerning their lack of knowledge upon all. general subjects, fill many pages of the volume.‘ . After so sweeping an arraignment it .33wa expected that the “pointers” should shoot somewhat wide of the mark. We are told, for instance, that “if you can’t write a long article, write a. paragraph; paragraphs are always easier to one than long articles, and many papers are willing to publish them.” * * Only. the craftsman who realizes how much more skill is required‘ for the short than the long story can appreci~ me the unconscious humor of this advice. It would appear that English editor- ial rooms have never heard the old, old story of the man who, when asked ' Eowrite a quarter column editorial in a quarter of an hour, replied: “I haven’t dime. I can give you a column and a quarter easy enough, but I haven’t time for. a quarter of a column.” Most aggravating, perhaps, are the comments upon American newspapers. We are told that “these huge and flar- ing productions have objectionable features which are only to obvious, but that they are conducted by the clever-est journalists in the world. ' They cannot failto quicken the pulses of those who are acgustomed to the soberer, narrower, sleepier ways of English ne mpapers. ” In the list of subjects declared to be . peculiarly a woman’s min in journalism it iscurious to find the woman’s club and'all which that complex involves conspicuous for its absence. fl gray/tee ¢Kgyum ‘ V V Feminine Chat.

Why will men persist in thinking that they must surfeit a woman with compliments 'or she will not enjoy their society. You. may as well despair of ever bringing your cook up to your own no- tions when she insists upon serving pie for breakfast. The feminine who declares that her piano is such a comfort would not find her assertion verified if her neighbors were questioned on the subject. Many a dish under a misleading French name proves, upon tasting, to be only the ordinary something that we ate in our childhood, in plain English. The craze for bicycling has even attacked the cripples, who have all sorts of contrivances devised so they can propel the fashionable machine as well as their able-bodied friends. . It is altogether antagonistic to the general idea of things, but it is abso- lutely true, nevertheless, that women appreciate each others’ ' fine points much more keenly than men do. ' There is no one who feels quite so much that the world isa perfectly open book as the sweet girl graduate.

The Ladies’ Aid Society of St. Mary’s church held a strawberry and ice cream social at the Catholic Club rooms last evening, the club kindly donating the use of the same although the members were denied the privilege of being present. And the ladies had a "fine time all to themselves. Mrs. W. J. Tracey and Miss Malone sang sweetly, and all ate strawberries and played games including billiards to their hearts content. The drawing of chances in the bed-quilts pieced by members of the society took placeand resulted in their being awarded to Mrs. M. Finne- ‘v v7 gan and Mrs. Hugh Donuelly. It was a delightful evening for the Ladies’ Aid, the members of which by the way are doing splendid work in the parish they represent. ~———‘0.0’—— Mrs. Clara A.
