{JOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The employment—— of women inyarious
occupations has made the most astonish-
ing progress during the last few dec
adea
They have entered into various
phases of work from which they were
formerly excluded. In some of these
their success has been very strongly
marked. ‘
Medical Women are now recognized
as doing good work in the several
branches of the profession. As journal-
ists many have succeeded, and some
women are 'now permanently located
on the staff of our daily papers as sal-
aried reporters.
Their occupation as authors of books
dates froma much earlier period. In
shorthand and typewriting they hold
their own with their competitors of
the other sex.
In their treatment of the sick,trained
nurses have affected what may almost
beregarded asa complete revolution
of the old arrangements, and. one
which is even more advantageous to
.the- patients than to those who prac-.
._: tice the profession.
in music they have also long main-
" taihed their position most satisfactori-
ly. The efforts which were made by
some of the more advanced women to
gain access to other spheres of work
for which they were not so well- suited
, have failed and are alrrost forgotten.
In the early stages of what may be-
"-"termed the woman’s movement some
"'~:'.desired to pose as architects, others as
" ‘conveyancers and a few even dabbled
in stock dealing, though not admitted-
to the Stock Exchange
But those who pursued these unsuit-
able occupations-speedily ascertained
that they were unfitted to women, and
relinquished them for other work and
- have in tkeir way made lasting fame in
the lines that were in accord with
feminine nature and capability.
Of all these vocations, however, there
seems to be none so thoroughly in
much with woman’s particular temperé
ament as that of trained nurse.
In this capacity she looms. up as an
angel of patience and mercy and in
her gentle ministrations brings com-
fort to many an impatient, weary suf-
ferer who cries for the moon and comes
as near getting it as is possible thrOugh
the offices of the sweet and willing
woman who acts as nurse.
Whatever may be said against wo-
men in other capacities it must be ad-
mitted that as nurses they fit the sphere
as the sphere fits them, and can always
claim'that in one line at least they
have gone far away and beyond the
power of man to approach them.

Feminine Chat.
Friendship is like a. rubber band, it
will snap if stretched too far.
The hardest worked individual dur-
ing the recent hot spell ‘ was the
dlspenser of long cool drinks.
Women are always averse to telling
their correct age, but when the question
is put to them by the hospital physician
the truth is scared out of them.
That patience is a virtue one must
only observe the life of a professional
nurse. . '
Money can‘t buy all the comforts of
home. To have this fully exemplified
be taken ill at a hotel.
The woman who can be graceful on
crutches need never fear the inroads of
time as charm- -destroying factors.
Wilful abuse of a friend’s hospitality
.is even worse than the ungrateful child
of the serpent’s sharp sting story.
There is something essentially lack-
.ing in the make up of the young father
who insists on keeping the announce-
ment Of his first born a secret.
Some brilliant red leaves in the woods
proclaim the new season, though the
thermometer is decidedly remiss in
that direction.
Not many days now before the fall
Openings will make many a woman re-
gret that she hadn’t spent less on her
summer outfit.
We, none of us are truly valuable to
the world until we realize that there
are others who could fill our place
. should we drop out of it.
We may not' be able to pay our full
-. debt to nature in this life, but if we
-. when you see
pay a little on account affairs will as-
sume a pleasanter attitude.
The country minister, on a. precari-
ous four hundred a year, manages to
put on more style than his city brother
with five times that amount.

Fashionable Editings.
The latest fashion news from the
Jewellers is that Paris and London
lapidaries are making his’tory repeat
itself in the setting forth of ear-rings;
not the little drop screws and knobs so
long worn, but the pendant, Victorian
ornaments, such asher Majesty wore
In her young days, and still elects
when it pleases her. These barbaric-
looking accessories are no more likely
to succeed on this side of the water
than the Victorian bonnet, which was
donned by so few women that wearing
it rendered them exceedingly conspico
uous.

A Scotchman was once advised to
take shower baths. A friend explained
to him how to fit up one by the use of
a cistern and colander, and Sandy ac-
cordingly set to work and had the
thing done at once. Subsequently he
was met by the friend who had given
him the advice, and, being asked -how
he enjoyed the. bath, “Man,” said he,
“it was fine! I liked it talc weel, and
kept mysel’ quite dry, too.” Being ask-
ed how he managed to take the shower
and yet remain quite- dry, he replied:
“Dcd, ye dinna, surely, think I was sac
