i Lady (Spenoer) Clifford, widow of
Sir Robert Cavendish Spenoer Clifford,
long yeoman usher of the Black Rod,
haa opened the way to a new profession
for women by being chartered as ‘ ‘cap
tain” under the board of trade, by
which she has absolute command of a
vessel of ber own. Always fond of a
/) life under “white wings, ” and finding
in yaohting the only solace to a severe
domestio affliction, Lady Clifford made
v several cruises to Norway and Sicily in
her yacht, commanded by a competent
captain; but, as many women have
found in other circumstances, she found

I LADY CLIFFOED.
the divided authority of the owner and
the captain hardly worked well. When
she got to any port beyond the regular
track, Lady Clifford saw that she was
not secure against imposition and in
subordination.
Safe as the roadways and waterways
■ 5 comparatively are for women in this
nineteenth oentury, there were times
when wine got in and wit out in the
male autocrat, who thought a woman
was a “negligible quantity, ” and when
goods were apt to be brought on board
contrary to her approval and desire—
this of course at the most inconvenient
stations.
“If you want a thing done, do it
yourself,” reflected Lady Clifford, who
was not a woman to put up with non
sense. She applied to her consul, got
her wishes carried out and “sacked” i
her insubordinate servants. But a brief i
experience of difficulties was sufficient, I
and seeing what an immense advantage |
it would be to her in her cruises to have 1
entire command she set herself to study I
navigation. After the requisite exami- I
nations, which she modestly opines were
made very light for her at the board of
trade, but of that we have secret doubts, !
Lady Clifford obtained the position of j
captain, the first woman in England :
who has ever obtained it, and with a
good sailing master under her navigat- 1
» ed a 350 ton yacht in the channel and |
Mediterranean with such success that
she proposes shortly to visit the east in 1
the same manner.
Before her marriage Lady Gifford,
then Miss Lowe, was already a pioneer. ■
With her mother, whose only child she
was, Miss Lowe was the first lady to ex- ■
plore Norway in carrioles—Norway was
then almost a terra incognito, and worn- '
en were less accustomed to travel any- j
where—and to travel in a similar way
all over Sicily, where they mounted

Susan B. Anthony.
Susan B. Anthony celebrated her sev
enty-first birthday on Friday. For over
three years, since it was planned and
given to her by some of her suffrage ad
mirers and friends, “Aunt’ f Susan has
had her own home in Rochester. It is a
pretty little nook, delightfully cozy and
quaint, and is a source of great pleasure
to this much traveled woman.
Latterly Miss Anthony has changed
her austere ideas about dress. She de
lights in rich, becoming raiment and
is a picture in her silks and laces. She
likes to have all her fellow workers
equally fastidious and criticises radical
attempts at “reform’’.dressing in their
public meetings. It may be added that
Miss Anthony confidently expects to
vote before she dies.
Miss Anthony has been identified with
the suffrage and temperance movements
for nearly 50 years. She first spoke in
public in 1847, and from that time took
a prominent part in organizing societies
and in expounding from the platform
her views upon the subjects to which
she has devoted her life. In 1851 she
called a temperance convention in Al
bany after being refused admission to
a previous convention on account of her
sex. In 1852 the Woman’s New York
State Temperance society was organ
ized. Through her exertions and those
of Mrs. E. C. Stanton women came to
be admitted to educational and other
conventions, with the right to speak,
vote and serve on committees.
In 1858 she made a report in a teach
ers’ convention at Troy in favor of the
coeducation of the sexes. In 1854-5 she
held conventions in each county in New
Y ork state in the cause of female suf
frage, and since then she has annually
addressed appeals and petitions to the
legislature.
Law Lecture. For Women.
Amid the roaring whirlwind of po
litical wrangling and oivio controversy
!as co tne uinmate ueatiuy or we cap
italized Woman of today, it is as refresh
ing as it is surprising to find that a few
dignified women have been calmly ef
fecting one of the moat important move
ments of the age, the Woman’s Legal
Education society of the University of
the City of New York having prepared
the way for a new and most advanced
plane for woman’s ceaseless activity in
the study of law. Without stopping to
argue whether women can or cannot
sustain a strictly severe course of study,
Whether or not they are fitted by nature
with sufficient reasoning power to fol
low a logical argument, this society
founded a course of law lectures for
women.
The question has been often asked.
Why shpuld women study anything
about law? The lawgivers of past ages
have given the best answer to the ques
tion, when they act upon the maxim,
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse. ” If
in the course of daily affairs a woman
may legally be held responsible for what
she does unwittingly, or for what she
does not know at all, then the hour has
come when she should know.
The time has passed when, like the
tidy young woman, we may carefully
tear up receipted bills lying in our desk,
because that shows they are paid, or,
like the new lady depositor, feel ag
grieved when the bank notifies us of an
overdrawn account, although our check
book is not yet used up. The time has
also passed when a woman with prop
erty, either personal or real, need have
a legal luminary at her elbow to tell her
where to sign a paper, and especially to
read it through before she signs it.—
Mrs. Edward Greeley.
Chinese Women In Society.
Although Washington has become
somewhat accustomed to seeing Chinese
women, since two successive ministers
of China have brought their wives with
them to the legation here, Chinese wo
men are still objects of great curiosity
in the city.
A few days ago there was a musical
reception at one of the most attractive
houses, and among the guests were two
Chinese ladies.
They were the daughters of the Chi
nese consul general at New York, and
they were accompanied by their father.
The ladies entered the house with
heavy wraps over their house clothing,
and having hobbled to the dressing
apartments—for they both had cramped
feet—they reappeared in odd blouses of
figured silk and with flowing dark blue
skirts that just revealed ample trousers.
One of the ladies was decidedly Mon
golian in features, but the other was
small and decidedly pretty. Both wore
their hair in away common to a native
and inexplicable to Americans.
Having greeted the elegantly gowned
hostess with the fashionable high shake
of the hand, they stopped long enough
to chat a little, employing the inter
preter to convey their message of bere
mony.
Then they found seats with the finely
dressed ladies in one of the parlors, lis
tened to the music with attention and
applauded when the others did so.
When they left, they told the hostess
—it is to be assumed—that they were
delighted to have had so pleasant an
evening. They went away after a repe
tition of the high shake. And they were
not embarrassed for an instant—New
York Times.
Knew What She Was About.
Aman friend of mine who was snow
bound in Philadelphia one night re
cently says he saw the new woman over
there, though between you and me
Philadelphia is just about the last place
on earth one would expect to find her in.
“I was in a shop in Chestnut street
where they sell men’s belongings,” be
says, “and the new woman came in.
She was tailor made and very well set
up. She, too, was snowbound, and the
trim linen collar she wore was anything
but immaculate. It was late, and all the
dry goods stores had closed. The new
woman walked up to the clerk and
asked for a collar, size 13>£. The clerk
tried to tell her that they didn’t keep
women’s collars, but she looked right
through him. She bought a collar and a
large white handkerchief. Then she
walked to the mirror and unconcerned
ly took off her collar and tie. The hand
kerchief she folded about her neck, and
when she had anchored that collar
to it with a pin you wouldn’t have
known that it wasn’t a—what is it yon
call it?—chemisette. She tied her tie
carefully, gave her hair a pat and her
sleeves a pull. Then, taking the arm of
a man who had lingered somewhere in
the background, she sailed out toward
the nearest theater. She was a genuine
new woman, and she kne\y what she
was about.”—Washington Post
Hempbill Quotes Lincoln.
General Robert R. Hemphill of Ab
beville, S. C., in an address before the
twenty-seventh annual convention of the
N. A. W. S. A. at Atlanta, said:
“ *1 go for all sharing the privileges
of government who assist in bearing its
burdens. Consequently Igo for admit
ting all to the rights of suffrage who
pay taxes or bear arms, by no means ex
cluding the females. ’
“These were the words of Abraham
Lincoln on June 13, 1856, to the voters
of Sangamon county, Ills. They express
my sentiments today. lam in favor of
equal rights and equal opportunities for
women, and that is why I am today in
the good city of Atlanta and before this
refined and distinguished audience to
say a word upon the living issue which
has called this assemblage together. Is
not the situation unique? Here I am, a
South Carolinian, a disciple of John C.
Calhoun, proud of the traditions of my
beloved state, quoting from Abraham
Lincoln in support of a proposition the
mention of which a half a century ago
would have given the leaders of my peo
ple the horrors. But the world moves,
and South Carolina is moving with it. ”
