' There are carping critics mnscullne, Of cowrse who point to the failure of (women In certain fields of art as evi dence that they do not constitute, as Mrs. Grand and others would have us Relieve, the superior sex. Men may be ethically and morr.lly debased, but 4n poetry, music, painting, sculpture, they have manifested a supreme genl us which tho other sex does not pos sess. Of course, there are various explanations of a fact which can hard ly be disputed. One Is that women tiave not hnd the chance that men have tad, and that In tho coming centuries they will outdo all thnt men have done ta the past. But this argument In volves a pure assumption. Besides, it remains to be demonstrated that geai is develops in exact ratio with oppor tunity. Men with few advnutngos tiave risen to the heights of achieve dent; and in the arts, especially, com petition is free. The women who bare become great artists have not usually been conscious of tho limitations of eer. There ore women painters whose iplace la not so very far below the high est, though their number Is scanty; and in poetry, too, they have nccom iplislied at least something, even if no woman poet can be ranked with iShukespeure or Goethe or Dante. It aeems to be tu music chiefly that they are dumb. The list of a thousand wo nen composers which an industrious Cerman has compiled is not convinc ing.

If you travel In savago or unsettled countries as a woman-everything Is made smooth for you. Every man who has acquaint ance with rough traveling will know how much easier It was for me to do such Journeys than It would have been for a man in my position. "I was usually the only woman of the party, nnd where a man would have to make n way for himself, my way was made for me by common con. sent of kindness by the men around me. The best that there was was al ways at my disposal. Generally I had my tent; bat If, when sleeping out of doors one stone was softer than ano ther, it was mine. If food was short, there was always a portion for 'the lady,' which someone declared him self not hungry enough to eat. If streams were too deep to ford, there was always somebody ready to pull me through or help me over. "All through the wide world the rough edge of adventure is tempered for women. Judging from my own experience, I always take with a pinch of salt the thrilling accounts which some women traveler write about their hardships." OovdoiV ,HAT!
