octatlon aa the source through
which the worM'i generoaity la
being distributed In stricken San
Francisco directed attention to
tm world-famous organization and tha
"Orsnd Old Woman" through whose effort
the American Red Cross wu founded.
Tha object of the Red Cross work la too
well known to dwell at length on what
It haa dona In the, United Btatea and for
eign countries. The day haa coma when
tha American people recognlaa the Red
Crosa aa one of the wisest and beat aye
tema of philanthropic work In modern
tlmea. It la but almple truth to aay that
thla great International aaaoclatlon of the
Red Croaa, and Ita twenty odd yeara of
aervlce to thla country, through Bra, flood,
earthquake and epldemlca, owea Ita grati
tude to Clara Barton, for In each diaaater
aba waa personally preeent to direct tha
workings of tha Red Crosa.
At the opening of the civil war wa find
Mlaa Barton the first woman clerk In tha
government office at Waahlngton. Thla po
sition she resigned to Join the Sixth Mas
aachusctts volunteers In Washington on
their arrival from the Baltimore attack,
April 19, 1861, and she was on no lesa than
aeventeen battlefields, covering a period of
four yeara.
The summer of 1W3 she spent Identifying
the dead (13,000) and laying out the first
National cemetery at tha request of the
government at Andersonvllle, President
Lincoln appointing Miss Barton to do thla
work. Then for four yeara following the
civil war she aearched for the missing
men of tha army, 80,000 in number. Again
in 1870-71 we find Mlsa Barton a ministering
angel In the Franco-German war on tha
fields of Btrasburg, In Baden hospitals,
Montbelard, Paris (the fall of the com
mune), and later with the International
Red Cross committee In Europe, Switzer
land, Germany and France. From 1876 to
liwoK spent In her efTort to make the
RewCross known to the United States,
SJikliW for the treaty, securing the adhesion
of the, United States to the treaty of
Geneva, March 2, 1883, and waa nominated
Ita first president by President Garfield.
Then the Michigan Urea followed in 1SSI.

diplomas heavily framed, all tell the same
story, gratitude fnr services rendered.
Women la Snltmae States.
I kept forgetting that this was my first
view of a state In which women have full
suffrage, declares a writer In Harper'a
Pa tar. I could not discover that they were
any less feminine here than elsewhere.
If anything, they wora white, fluffy
clothes upon the atrceta mora freely than
eastern women do. They wera given to
big white hate of lawn or chiffon and ao
determined were they to get tha good of
their white ahoea that they wore them even
with black dresses.
Bo far aa Interest In pretty clothea may
be held to establlah the point. It la evident
that more than few legislative enact
ments will be required to knock out tha
eternal womanly. For Instance, tha pro
prietor of the lending millinery shops told
ma thla tale of the first time tha polls
were open to women:
"I wasn't prepared for nny rush In the
business," he said. "In fact, I don't sup
pose I was much Interested in the suffrage
question. But all of a sudden I noticed an
Increase In our snips; then mall orders
came In thick and fast and finally we had
crowds around our bargain counters equal
to the week before Easter and even our
Imported hats on the second floor were go
ing with a rueh.
" 'What'a tha matter with the women?'
said I to the forewoman. 'Any Women'a
Christian Temperance Union convention,
or public reception, or high church holi
day?' " 'No, Indeed,' aha aald. "Why, don't you
know? They're going to vote tomorrow!'."
Of course wa may have been mistaken
about the number of pretty girls, for wa
did not aae all of the Inhabitants of Den
ver by any meant. A great many of ita
people and let ua charitably assume, all
of Its prettiest gllrs wera In tha moun
tains. Tha trains going thither wera packed.
And you discovered again tha fact which
your romantlo Imagination eonatantly
tended" to make you forget, that there la
no such thing aa western chivalry.
In na other place, south or east, Is a
woman ao entirely free to climb Into and
out of eara without assistance, pick up har
own handkerchiefs, stand while men alt,
mount rer horse without aid of hand or
horseblock and generally enjoy perfect
freedom and entire lack of consideration.
Of aoursa ona likes tha freedom, the equal
ity and all that, but well, Ita human to
want to keep ona'a caka and eat It, too.
Nor la thla the reault of auffrage,
aa some writers aagely observe. . It Is ex
actly the aama in Oklahoma, where there
la no auffrage. It la merely western and
arises, I think, because these men are too
busy to be looking after women and be
cause they have good reason to suppose
that western women can look after them
selves. And they can with a sigh because
they must.
Every stopping place proved tha moun
talna fairly allvo with campers and tourists.
They swarmed around the train to meet
f rlenda and carried them off In mud
splashed stages to rough board ahantlea or
tenta sat bealda aome awlft atream.
The men wora high boots with aplked
soles, corduroy or khaki trousers, flannel
shirta and broad brimmed hats. Tha girls
wora short or divided skirts, galtera. sweat
era and also broad brimmed Fedoraa.
All looked rough, happy, brown, plctur
eaqiaa. Hara and there an elderly matron,
demure and trim In a summer allk gown
with a bit of white ruchlng about the
throat, hopped gingerly among the boulders
In the track of har riotoua brood, looking
like a canary bird who had unexpectedly
hatched sage chickens.

For girls who have not been fortunate
enough to secure special business training,
aays tha Chicago Tribune, the office of
the physician, tha surgeon or tha dentist
oftera one of the most attractive means
of earning a Uvelihood, and one In which
the diplomacy which ia one of the essential
traits of so many women can be used to
great advantage.
Anyone who has ever had business In the
office of any medical practitioner in Chi
cago who enjoys anything like a lucrative
practice is familiar with the office assist
ant. She It is who aaya that the medical
man la engaged, or that he can be seen.
It Is she who writes down the appoint
ments, answers the telephone and most
Important duty of all is pleasant to tha
caller.
In a large measure It la trua that aha
geta paid tor being pleasant. Doctors will
not for a moment have in their offices
young woman who are aour-faced, disa
greeable, tactless or overbearing. The doc
tors, dentlsta and aurgeona appreciate to
the full the Importance of the medicinal
value of a fresh appearance, a wholesome
manner and an unfailing tact.
Patlcnta who are physically ill are moat
susceptible to psychological influences.
They are depressed by things which would
have absolutely no effect upon a person
In normal health. The medical man, to
whose office the sick man or woman cornea,
wants his patient to be In the beat possible
condition, mentally as well as physically.
It la within tha power of the office assistant
to create an atmosphere in the office that
is restful and helpful to the patient.
The wait before the doctor is at liberty
can eusily be made a pleaxant half hour
Instead of thirty minutes of torture, as It
was before the doctors saw the value of
polite, deft attention on tha part of the
office assistant.
A woman who baa enjoyed the unenviable
experience of being in need of physicians'
services In New York, New Orleans, Boston
and Chicago Is responsible for the state
ment that, all other things being equal, the
patient of a Chicago doctor receives more
understanding treatment at the hands of
a medical man than dots the patient of a
medical man In any of the other cities
in which aha haa been .111. The woman
aaya that In Chicago the good influence of
restful colors and harmonious furniture in
doctors- waiting room a la better under
stood than It is elsewhere and that tt,ls
more adequately supplemented by the hu
man element that is found In tha assistants.
The young women who exchange small
talk with the patient during the time of
waiting and who put or keep the patient
In the best possible frame of mind form
a large class of women workers in Chi
cago. There are hundreds of them in the
Stewart, the Reliance, tha Columbus Me
morial, the Marshall Field and the other
big buildings In the dowmown district, In
which there are almost as many doctors'
offices aa there are beta In a hlva.
Tha young women. Ilka many young
women workws. have no organisations
or elubs. Many of them hava been In tht.r
present positions for years, and once a
girl haa established' herself aa a capable

Tha German girl leaves school at about
18 years of age, by which ttma aha has
learned to sew, mend, and supposedly to
apeak English and French,
She haa net learned higher mathamatlca,
aaya Modern Women, but aha haa learned
the small things which fit a girl for a
housewife or companion and that, in Ger
many, is woman's only sphere.
However, much as we American girls may
enjoy our colleges we dare not pity the
German Kills, for they have something
which takes their place and of which we
can have no conception until we reside In
Germany a few months.
M you ever hear of a pension? It la one
of the most enjoyable things which exists.
Certain Influenzal ladies, mostly widows
or maiden aunts make known that they

young ladles into their family.
We went to Hanover, two of us girls;
with a horror and dread of a boarding
school, as we had heard a pension de
scribed. Wa found ouraelvea In a family
of eight girls, all from the very best class
of Germans, and all placed under Frau von
It's care for a year or more.
None of the girla had any apacial object
In life; a few wanted to learn how to keep
houe, a few indulged In an hour'a music
leaaon per week, but moat of them came.
aa la tha German custom, for the sake of
becoming pulisl.ed and being escorted to
concerts, theaters, balls, receptlona, stu
dent Nm lpes, etc., opportunities not affordod
In smaller cities and even not In many
citlea tlmt are larger than Hanover.
Consequently our chaperon accepted In

Miss Mary 8. Garrett of Philadelphia ap
peared before the Cnlted States committee

to appropriate HW.OuO for the training of
teachers to instruct deaf children before
they are of school age. Mix Garrett

Lucy Copinger, the writer of the child
sketches which have attracted the attention
of grownup readers, is a Baltimore school
teacher. The writer Is fonder of athletics
than of writing and prouder of her skill In
fencing than la (lotion. She says that the
stories seara to ba written In apite of her
self, for ahe does not wish to write humor
ously, her one great ambition being to
write "very sad poetry."
The old atory of keeping thlnga in the
family ia recalled by the admission of Mrs.
Ella Knowles Haskell of Butte, Mont., to
practice In the supreme court of the United
Btatea. In 1812. as Ella Knowles, she was
the populist candidate for attorney general
of Montana, and was defeated by Henry J.
Haskell, republican. After the election the
auccessful and defeated candldatee shook
hands and were married and Attorney Gen
eral Haskell made Mra. Haskell assistant
attorney general. Later they were divorced
and Mra. Haskell haa since practiced law
Independently.
The achool teachers of Pittatown town
ahip, Pa., dismissed their schools and went
on a strike in the middle of March be
cause the achool board had not paid their
wagea for aeveral months. A strike some
times clears people's understanding in a
remarkable manner, It did so in this case.
After only a day or twos vacation the
board notified the teachers that they would
receive two months' salary at once, and the
rest very soon. But at that point the lax
payers' association of the county took up
the matter and warned the directora that
unleaa the teachera were paid action would
be taken at once to turn the board out of
office. The board owea aome of the Individ
