High Honors for Women.

Once more wbmen have triumphed at the Royal academy. For the second time in three years the gold medal has been won by a female student, while of the 14 prizes offered no less than ten nave been carried off by women. In presenting these and congratulating Miss Margaret Williams on her brituant achievement the president of the Royal academy paid high tribute to the perseverance and the talent of women artists; but again, we ask, why is it not recognized by the Royal Academy of Arts in the obvious ray? In every way women show their fitness to compete with men for the honor of admission to associateship -and to election- among the 40, yet still they stand without the gate.— Lady's Pictorial
