He is a man of 35 or thereabouts, with a keen.

the women of your race who hare done the

' Colored women have hardly had an oppor-
tunity to do much that is sensational," he re-
plied. "They haven't had time. But still
there are aeveral who are prominent
among their own people, and who hav»
earned a solid rvputatlon. Take Washington,
for lnstanoe. Colored women of the best

along better than the men, and usually devote
themselves to their work and succeed well In

the old abolition leaven In Boston and the

Influence is still a determining factor, it
might possibly happen In another city than
Boston, that a young white girl, beautiful, of
