JUDGE THEORY AND PRACTICE. MRS, FIN DE SISCLE’S ADDRESS AT THE WOMEN'S CLUB, h& EAR MEMBERS—Only for the fact that it would de- N\ priv me of the pleasure of addressing you this evening. I would wish that I had been born a hundred years later, for the one dream of my life is to see woman occupying her proper sphere. Often have I imagined how different even my life would have been if only women had their rights, and I see myself occupying a position as bank-president with a = : salary of twenty thousand a year, instead of being bound down by the chains of matrimony and forced to’ drudge over work not only uncon- genial but far beneath the talents with which I have been endowed, and which would be performed by any uncultured woman at a few paltry dollars a month and her board. (Loud applause.) MRS, FIN DE SIRCLE AT HOME. Mrs, Dorcas—\'m so sorry I couldn't attend the meeting last night, my dear. 1 wouldn't have missed hearing your address for anything.

What an awful you must lead! It’s no wonder, my dear, that you sometimes dream how different it would be if our sex had their rights. And to think that a woman with an ambition to be a bank- president should have to fret herself away over the price of a loaf of bread and a pound of butter!” Mrs: Fin de Sitcle—\t is dreadful.”* Mrs. Dorcas—“ Well, 1 know what I should do. I'd just throw the book in his face.” Mrs. Fin de Sidcle—" \'ve often thought of that, because 1 knew it would put a stop to these dreadful headaches,” Mrs. Dorcas —“ How's that?” Mrs. Fin de Sidcle— Because, my dear, they al NOT IN LOVE WITH THE PASTIME. come on because I can never make the accounts balance Miss Wittis—"* Do you play foot-ball, Mr. Grewsom?” JAMES JAY O'CONNELL Mx.
