She is criti- cal of the Englishman's rooted ob- jection to tho higher female edu- cation. He must, she thinks, have a secret fear that the wife he finds so hard to understand even when sho is unlearned, simple woman, will be absolutely incomprc hensiblc when she is highly educated. All questions are to her the Women's Question. Her study has been the woman worker ; the li'isU'ls she op?ned not long ago were hostels (the first of their kind) for the sex that Lord Rowton left out in the cold. But if her guest in Yorkshire not long ago was Mrs. Pankhurst, it does not follow that the duchess has given her support to militancy. On many points these two were in agreement; on many others they were in opposition. In America her Grace could, like her mother, be an out-and-out suffragette, because in America out-and-out suffragisra wins the vote without recourse to extreme measures. All the -duch- ess's chief problems have been en- countered in reconciling of Eng- glish and American habits of mind. And East Ham believes she is solv- ing many of them with something very like genius. A MEMORY OF JENNY LIND. One Who Met Her Tells About the Great Singer. In 1834, writes a friend of the Com- panion, my father moved from New Hampshire to a Little Canadian settle- ment on the stage road halfway be- tween Waterloo and Montreal. There be set up an inn for the convenience of the traveling public, who wished to break the tiresome Journey by stage. There had been a distillery on the place, but, true to his principles, father promptly destroyed it, and had L sign painted "The Temperance Inn," so that no one might mistake the character of the place. Our nearest neighbors were French people, who had no children; but there were six of us, so we did not get lonesome. The daily arrival of the stage never ceased to be exciting. Then there were other travelers in chaiue and on horseback, and once a year a caravan cf animals passed through. Think of six children hav- ng a whole menagerie to themselves. We enjoyed the elephants espjclally. There was a lake a little way from our house where the men took them to bathe. It was great sport to watch the big animals squirt water over one another with the'r trunks. Our house would look very bare in i these days of palatial hotels. There were no carpets on the floors, hut Irish Norah, the maid, kept them Im- maculately clean by dally scrubbing?. On extra occasions our mother would sand over the floor of the public re- ception room. In intricate patterns, ' ind then woe betide the youngster who ventured in to disturb the work of art. One day there waa the stir of pre- >aratlou that always preceded the ! arrival of a specitl guest, whose coming had beer previously an- nounced. We asked no questions, for In those days children did not Inquire Into the doings of their elders, tut we stationed ourselves where we could command a good view of the ! passengers as they left tlie stage.

Th woman wore a Tell, BO we could not see her face; but her clothing looked rather shabby, so we ran into the kitchen to tell Norah that no one of any account had come. Norah was not in sight, but presently she bustled In, very much excited. "If you childer want to see tha greatest singer in the world," she said, "jist pape in the dining room at the end of the table be your fayther." We "paped," and there eat our plainly dressed traveler. She had a sweet face, but we could not under- stand why "the greatest singer in the world" should wear an old black dress with patches .at the elbow (I saw them myself). As we pushed and scuffled in our eagerness to see her, the door ew^ing wide open to our great con- fusion. My father shook his head at us, but the lady laughi'd. As -we beat a hasty retreat, I sa-v that she was speaking to him. We felt we were great offenders. and when father came out into the kitchen a few minutes later, we ex- pected a reprimand. But he only said. "You children may go into the parlor for awhile. Miss I. ind wants to see you." It was a very bashful company that filed into the room. The great singer sat in a low rocking-chair by tho fire- place, and as we entered, beckoned us to come to her. I was the smallest of the group, so she lifted me np to her lap. and then B!IO began to sing to us. I wish that I could remember what she sang, but we knew nothing about bongs or music, and could only feel the beauty of the tender voice and the charm of the woman herself. I am sure Jenny l.ind never sang to a more appreciative audience, or left a sweeter memory behind her. Makl ''If you please, m'm. man lias railed with a bill."
