In a very recently publluhed article by Walter Thornton, the progresa ot woman of late yenra'la very Intereat- Infly treated. Mr. Thornton aaye. In part: The nineteenth century waa a cen tury of emancipation—of the governed by the apread of the franchise and popular education; of the alave by proclamation; of the worker by Intel ligent co-o|H>ratlon; and laat, but per haps moat Important, of woman by a peaceful revolution of opinion and practice. Woman'a "rlghta" were, to be aure, luteal to be appreciated; wom en had to wult for the negro, and have not yet been given ao much aa he re ceived. But their emancipation la now in fun progreaa, and haa reached In thla country the aatlafaetory atage where every one takes It for granted that a gti*l should be educated as well aa her brother, should have a chance to earn her living In any profession or busi ness or trade In which she la compe tent, nAd should be a partner of equal right In the marriage relation. Thla change has been literally as sudden as the diffusion of the franchise or the abolition of riavery. Two generations ago no provision was made for the education of women In more thnn the rudlmenla; business life, apart from selling candy to chil dren and bonnets to young women, waa cloaed to them; the professional wom an waa unheard of and undreamed of, our business colleges are now about equally attended by young women and m*a. In our medlcnl schools are near ly LI00 women students, and thla laat comgiancement was the occasion of the graduation of some hundred each of Women pharmacologists, dentists, law yers and clergymen. Finally, within a K'-neration women have created a new profession, and that one of the noblest and moat useful. For this year sotqe wight thousand trained nurses will be graduated Into a truly professional life, agd over nine-tenths of them will be ' women. The higher education means fitness for the learned professions; and In r rational world fitness means employ ment. Women are capable of doing useful and noble work In every pro fession. such work na the world needs. The world will rail upon women for I more and more of such work every -or. What la true of the professions ■ equally true of business and Indus- -j life. It la doubtful If at the end of i "ty years the're will be a single oc- lon In which women will not to v' v o extent share. '^;*jt.Jre la nothing necessarily objec- " tlonable In this widening of the sphere of woman's activity and Increase In her freedom to make or mar her own ca reer. The objections which are com monly made are based on mere per. nonal prejudice or on misconceptions of fnct. The most frequent Is tho assertion that the womanliness nr fem ininity of women suffers from the con- . tact with and absorption In the life of bualness. Industrial or professional W If k thla means that timidity, deceit, dependence and Inefficiency nre dis couraged in favor of energy, frank ness and self-direction. It Is true: but It la no objection save In the minds of those who persist In thinking of wom en aa men's pet animals. If femininity means the so-called female charm, tho subtle qualities which appeal to man aa man, the coquetry, mystery and challenge of woman aa the object of Instinctive pursuit, the charge fa again In a measure true; but once more this Is no objection. Women should be more to the world than lit objects to attract men; for the same reason that men should be mom than fit objects to attract women. No one need fear that women will cease to be alluring enough. If womanliness means the steadiness of affection, the loyalty and sacrifice whlph are the proper fruits of motherhood, and If a life In the world of affairs means a life without marriage end children, the ob jection would be sound; but It must not be taken for granted that opening the door to professional and business life closes the door to marriage. It la always risky to- prophesy con cerning human affairs, but there la ev ery reason to believe that the move ment of women toward business and professional life will Increase, and In crease with exceeding rapidity. The reason for believing In thla rapid In crease In the Immediate future la the rapid Increase which we know baa taken place In the Immediate past. It Is a sober prophecy to make that long before the high school graduates FAIR GIRL IS MASCO7 OF 'FIGHTING BOB'S’FLEE7 nf thl* year til© they will wee twenty time* a* many women In medicine. In the ministry and In law as there urp now; that they will throughout the country find women In the pulpits, women as editors, women at the head of banks, women architects, women as surgeons in the hospitals, and women engineers working on the "8t rails of Panama" or the tunnel under the Ber ing sea. The fact Is that the education of women Is steadily Increasing, and that educated women aro bound to fill the professions. Hands Made Beautiful.

The eyebrow brush Is one of the Important aids In their care, and by nightly dipping it In oil and rubbing the brows well their growth will not sent that well trained appearance w] adds ao materially to the appearance of the face. For Staring Brows. In the event of the brows being star- ing and coarse, s bit of mucilage or lamp or on s train all are apt to induce bandoline applied at night after Inflammatory conditions which affect the beauty of the eyes, as well as their usefulness. In the event of a slight Inflammation, s mild astringent such as boroclc acid does much to relieve this tendency, us Ing ten grains of the acid to an ounci of distilled water, or. If a little more severe treatment la necessary, the ad dition of a grain of sulphate of line to the solution Increases Its efficacy. Dilute this, one-half to one-third, and use In an eye cup, which should be only half filled. Salt and wnter also Is good for bathing tired eyes. Tenio for Puffiness Bsnesth Eyes. One of the most annoying results of eye strain Is the baggy condition un der the eyes, which Is very disfiguring. Disease of the liver and kidneys also occasions this appearance, but In that event a physician should be consulted. To restore the relaxed condition of the skin tannic add is generally effectual, using twenty grains to an ounce of gly cerine, which may be applied with a soft camel's hair brush to the pufflness night and morning. Massaging the eyes and Just beneath them also restores the tonicity of the skin. With the thumb and forefinger of each hand take up the skin little by little beneath each eye, using quite a little pressure ns progress Is made. With the thumb and foreflnger gently massage the eyeballs also. This often restores the sight In weak eyes, but care should be taken tbat the work is done gently, using the forefinger, begin ning. atThe middle and'working out to the corners of the eyes. Pretty Lashes Aid to Beauty. Nothing adds more to womanly beau ty than pretty eyelashes and eyebrows, and In the case of the former there Is the added virtue of long lashes being a protection to the eyes. Formerly It was never thought necessary to assist nature In altering the shape or appear ance of the eyebrows and lashes, but now there are establishments that make a regular business of treating them. A few minutes' dally care at home, though, will work wonders In this respect. Otl or vaseline add materially training the eyebrows Into becoming shapes, If the brows are uneven, then the hairs may be removed by twees- smoothing them Into shape will prove effectual. Quite a bit of difference In the brows can be accomplished by. ac centuating the upper line by rubbing the hairs up from the bottom, or vice versa. If a woman has very thin eyelashes their color can be accentuated by a dye composed of; Gum arable, 1 dram; India Ink, 1-3 dram; rosewater. 4 ounces. Powder this ink and gum and tritu rate small quantities of the powder with the rosewater until you get a uni form black liquid In a powder, gnd then add the remainder of the roeewater to It. It should be applied with a very thin camel's hair brush. To Increase their growth a bit of kerosene rubbed In carefully will In crease their growth, white a pomade composed of one ounce of 'red vaseline, nne-slxteenth of an ounce of tincture of cantharldes, eight drops of oil of lav ender, and the same of oil of rosemary will be effectual. It should be mixed throughout and applied to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day until the growth Is sufficiently stimulated, then less of ten. Clipping the ends of the lashes Is said to accelerate their growth. For the Plain Girl.

Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the prlaon commission will begin Its Au gust meeting. It has about forty-live cases docketed for hearing, but none of them are of unuaual Interest. If the senate on Mohday passes the bill appropriating $1,000 to the commission for completing find furnishing the ju venile reformatory on the prison farm, some steps will b© taken to complete the Institution at once. Governor Ter rell will then Issue a proclamation to the various judges calling on them to send your criminals to the reforma tory. OW woman does long for beau ty I It Is no use telling her that It la better to be clever, or wise, or Jolly. She will listen gravely to your arguments, but don’t think for a mo ment that she Is convinced. With all her soul, she wants to be pretty, and nothing will change her views on the subject. From her babyhood to the grave she knows the power of beauty. Th© plain little girl h$a.ra her pretty companion’s eyea and curls praised. Her own ways may be just as cun ning and her little heart Just as loving, but no one pays any special attention to her. The poor baby learns very soon that she must forego a good deal of admiration and attention. At school the little boys flock around the pretty girl. She may be a non entity, but she never lacks for mascu line attendants. The sooner the plain girl learns that •hg must "make good" for her plain ness, the better It will be for her. It Is no use crying over split milk, so she must not sit In a corner and mope over her lack of attraction. She is generally unselfish and un spoiled, so she has those two excellent qualttes to start with. , The pretty girl Is often very self- conscious, and that Is not fct all pleasing quality. The plain girl Is not afflicted with self-consciousness, because she Is not always thinking that people are look ing at her. Her longing to be pretty should lead her to make the most of such charms as she possesses. She can keep her eyes bright and her complexion good by living in sensible, wholesome way. -She can be exquisitely nest In ap- penrance, and dress as becomingly as possible. If she studies and talks about the In terests of others, she will never lack for friends. ’ , The pretty girl, of course, will al ways be sought after, but unless she makes herself agreeable the attention will be but fleeting. The plain girl who makes no attempt to charm will never win the least ad miration. If you are plain, don’t fret over It. Fretting will only .make you plainer bj drawing peevish lines on your face. Just make up your mind to be at cheerful and agreeable as possible. Don’t be constantly thinking, "Oh, dear. I’m so ugly it’s no use my trying to look nice." When you go to a dance, look as though you mean to enjoy yourself, and you won’t lack for partners. One crumpled leaf doesn't spoil the entire rose, and the fact that your fact Is plain must not spoil your life. There are Just as many happily mar ried plain womer. as pretty. But you may be sure those women did not sit and bemoan their hard fate In being plain. They made themselves agreeable enough to attract the men. and so they not only won attention, but husbands a» wall. GEORGE C. LOONEY’S SCHOOL. THE SUNNY SOUTH MILITARY INSTITUTE. REGULAR COURSE.
