The Woman Journalist.— W. D. Howell writes: ‘ Twice in my life, I must testify, my personal remarks were reported with such accurracy and care that I was more than satisfied. Last year a young woman called upon me with a note from a well known editor to get some observations from me on the World’s Fair. I shall merely say that the result in this case proved conclusively to me that woman in journalism is fully as capable as man, if not more so ; and as interviewers they are surely better equipped by nature, with their insinuating tact and mental alertness. There is no reason either why the bloom of feminine refinement should lie lost in such a career. That depends upon the individual herself.*
