If the American woman continues to oompete with him In the professions and Industries! This ques tion oame up the ether day apropos of the reported decision of a wise or unwise English chancellor and some learned Judges not to admit women to the English bar. Woman la not handicapped like that over here. As muoh as tweny years ago women In Amarioa began to study law, and today womn are admitted not only to the legal ' profession, but also to almost every other calling man followa One by one woman has shoved aside or has taken down the bars which shut her out of oollegea, clinics and caucuses, onoe held sacred to man. An American motto, as was pointed out not long ago by a visiting German, has been and Is, "Make way fpr the ladies." And the worst of It Is, from a man's stand point, that the women bent on a business or a professional career continue to ad vance In tremendously, large numbers. How many of these are breadwinners or engaged In money making or glory achieving careers la not known, but at the lowest calculation the number of those who strike out for themselves and show no Inclination whatever to do the clinging vine act is formidably large. And that Is not alt This number, big as 4t Is, Is swelled tremendously by a host of married women who are the chief support of their families. All this leads some people to hint that perhaps one of these days the sturdy oak and Its dependent vine will have changed places; that man will busy himself with the kitchen work, the mending, darning, social calls and o'clock teas, and woman will carry the latchkey, hustle from morn ing till night In business circles away from her own house, employ a man stenog rapher and typewriter and take upon her self the duty of sitting up with siok friends uutll the small hours. Weleesaea la Maav Ltaca. Others, who don't go Quite so far, point to the fact that In professional and bust Dees circle alike woman seems to meet with no opposition, but on the contrary to be warmly welcomed, and thst everywhere I She Is usurping places once filled by man only.

When this view of the case was presented to the head of a large retail dry goods concern he said: "Yes, It la quite true that women are now filling plaoes monopolised twenty years ago by men. What la more significant still, lex la now almost Wholly lost eight of in Dullness dealings. "There was a time when a business woman expected extra consideration and courtesy simply because she was a woman. She has dropped that entirely now. '"I remember that about twenty-live or thirty years ago some of the old estab lished stores employed only male sales clerks. There was not a woman to be seen behind a counter. t In his palmiest days A. T. Stewart employed only men bookkeepers and cashiers, and many other concerns did the same. "Today woman bookkeepers and cashiers are to be found everywhere. There la one large department store In this city which recently Installed a force of girls and women In Its delivery department, and the experiment Is to be kept up, ' I hear. "It Is talent that tells in business. Good business men are always In demand, and so now are clever bus I nee s women. 'In my experience I have found that the business woman who ellmba to a responsi ble position Is sharper, more precise and more exacting with the women under her than men are. "I hardly thlnit there la any chance of woman's pushing man to the wall In this sort of buslnesa If she does he will de serve his fate. "Captains of Industry? Why not? I know of several women who are managing very large business enterprises on their own ac count, and If they can do that I see no reason why there should not be women competent to be placed at the head of a department store like this. "Bo far as I know, however, there la no large buslnesa concern of this kind In the city of which a woman ta the head. There Is no sex In exeou'Jve ability, though." The manager of another large store when the question was put admitted frankly that the hiring of so many more women for bookkeepers and cashiers than were hired In the old daye is likely to oust a good many men from that field of work. "As a nils," he said, "women are given the preference not because they do the work any better, but because they do It Cheaper. "But there la this to be said: Even If men should eventually be forced out of the dry goods business, they can take to some other line of work not so well fitted te women. In this country there la plenty of work for both men and women. Men are In no particular peril because of women." When Dean Ashley, head of the law school of the University of the City 'of New York, was asked If the legal pro fession was In danger of being overrun by women he shook bis head.

"It la nearly a quarter of a century since the way was opened for women to enter the profession, and during that time something less than 860 of them have been admitted to the bar. At the present time women are admitted on equal terms In about thirty-four states. "There are only forty women studying law hare in a school of 670, and perhaps not mora than ten out of the forty mean to practice law after graduation. "I see no reason why the woman lawyer should not suooeed and make a fair living, to aay the least. In my opinion there is a distinct place for her. a Mot Maa's Inferior. "She is not, aa a rule, inferior to man In her Intellectual endowment She la not more vacillating, and In spite of a preju dice to the contrary, no more apt than he la to be governed by her heart, ker emo tions, "rather than by her head. On the contrary, I have found her more conscien tious, more determined te stick to her opinion of what she considers the facts in the oaae than a man is. "In other words, the man lawyer la more likely to yield a point ,te sentiment than ta a woman. As to her being any lass logi cal than a man well, the day la far past for aay dispute on that score. Of course she la Just as logical. "Not the general belief? Well, there was a time, you know, when the general belief waa that woman had no Intellect at all. But that didn't make it true. "I have a high opinion of the woman lawyer. Nevertheless I don't think there Is the slightest danger of her crowding men out of the profession very soon. For her. court woak la still In the experimental stage, and so far ah haa shown no dis position to take up criminal cases. "There has been no hint either of creat ing women Judges. For that matter, women Juries are yet to come. The man lawyer la safe. I think, for a while at least." "Woman, In the last quarter of a cent ury, has made tremendous progress in evangelical work. In mission work, but In the ministry her advance haa been alight,' Is the opinion of the Rev. Dr. Her ben of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is assistant editor of the leading church paper of his denomination. "We do not ordain women ministers In the Methodist ahuroh." "Why? Is there a prejudlo against thenar "It the matter ever came to a crisis there might be a prejudlo. I suppose; but so far Ui question has never come up. "Woman not a aucce In the pulpit?

"Men look for virility in the pulpit. I believe they prefer to listen to one of their own sex, who, presumably, is better able to understand to some extent perplexities which always confront the man of affairs. Can a woman do this aa well aa a man? X think not. Doors Op. Dors Shat. "Both the Unitarian and the Universalis! denominations ordain women preachers, and at the head of every Christian Science church, I am told, la a woman. Her as sistant is a man. In that remarkable denomination, however, I believe they have no preaching no sermons, that is. "There is no chanoe whatever, Ji am afraid, for women to enter the Roman Catholic, the Episcopal or the Presbyterian pulpits, although It la never safe to prophecy what may happen in 100 yean. "Th deaconess movement, which la spreading to all denominations and waa first lntrodaoed by the Methodist Epis copal ohurou about sixteen years ago, is a significant indication of th growing; Im portance of women In church work. Nearly every church which alma to do a large work baa Its deaconesses, who undertake, as a rule, a large part of the pastoral work and gtve much time to mission work. "Another triumph in our denomination for the women la that women delegates are now admitted to the general confer ence, which la held once in tour years. Twenty of them will attend it this year. "Women are doing splendid evangelistic and church work; but I don't believe they will very soon push their way into the pulpits to the extent Of crowding men ut. It la very seldom, you know, that one hear of a woman taking; th divinity tours." "If the time ever comes," said Dl Jacob!, one of the oldest practitioners hv New York, "when women begin to crowd men out of the medical profession, why, I think It will be high time for the men to go, Let them try another business then." Then he added somewhat eautlouslyi "Why should not woman succeed In the protection, especially In treating women and children? In these days many people prefer a woman doctor. In cant woman prefer a woman doctor. In fact, woman is better liked than man in more than on rola" A Growl- Fere. He did not add that Dr. Margaret Crosse admitted that there are comparatively few women surgeons who hsve achieved much auooess or made a reputation in this part of the oountry. ' "I know several women who can do and have done splendid surgical work," said Dr. Crosse, "but there can b no question that so far the tendency of the publlo Is to entrust serious operations to a man surgeon only if on can be got at Woman surgeon In the western states have a 4.95 of them ...9.00 .25.00 TABLE Women's Waists.

"There are a good many women general practitioners In New York who have achieved some fame, and the ranks of the woman doctors are surely growing. I don't believe, though, we shall very soon crowd out the man doctors, although we ought to. I guess they are quite aafe for fifty years to come, anyway. "For one thing, the profession la a dog'a life, so to speak, for an ambitious woman. She needs to have iron nerves and an Iron constitution If she would be a success and compete seriously with men. "All women physicians don't and can't take the profession seriously. It is Im possible for some of them to forget their belt . buckle, the shape of their bonnet the hang of their skirt and that kind, of course, won't do much toward driving man doctors out of business." In prognosticating man's future aa a result of the rivalry of the sexes. Dr. Hun ter, president of the Normal coll ego, had this to say: Mam Holding; His Own. "I think In the learned professions man win always hold his own and a little mora If he can't h ought to fall out "In any ease, there need be no appre hension on the score of men in any voca tion being really Injured by women, and for this reason: The American has the faculty above all others, I think, for mov ing; from place to place, for changing about aeeklng his own improvement ."This ability la largely the result of the American common school education. The very Ignorant man la always afraid to move. "Th American man usually baa the cour age and the means, too, to movs. That's why he gets higher wages than other work men. He offers his work to the highest bidder. "Therefore. If he finds himself crowded out at one point by women he will be pretty sure to move to another point and furthermore, to change his work. "In some things woman Is, I believe, outstripping man. For instance, already she surpasses htm in , teaching children under 14. "She Is taking bis place most success fully as principal of girls' schools. At one time women principals were unheard of. "And la all occupations which require dexterity of manipulation woman Is quite likely to outdo man. I am glad that It Is so; glad that so many avenues are open ing up for women who must b self-supporting. "I have always believed that the best career for any woman is to be happily married. When any of the young women here come to me and announce: 1 have given up the Idea of being a teacher. I am going te be married, ' I invariably con gratulate her. "At the asms time, I find 'out at ery commencement that there are many young women who feel, although they do not con fess If, that they must buckle down to fUl TUB RELIABLE STORK. .
