INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATION AMONG Wo-
MEN.-An English writer declares the fact
that the women of our day do not "con-
verse"-and then attributes it to the multi
ploity of studies and the evening confinement
to books and school companions. He says:
1t should be as much 0 matter Of duty and
Of conscience to insist on outdoor e1srcise and
indoor social recreation, as upon any Of the
regular exercises of tho school-room. School
studies should be confined absolutely to school
hours. To allow them to encroach upon tho
later hours of the day, and upon the graceful
household duties and reoreations, which either
are, or ought to be provided for every girl at
home; In other words, to subordinate home
training to school training, or to intermit the
former In favor of the latter, is a most palpa-
BILE and ruinous mistake. It is bad even in an
intellectual point Of view.
To say nothing of other disadvantages, ii
deprives girls Of the best opportunities they
can ever have Of learning that mort feminine,
most beautiful, most useful of all accomplish
| ments--tho noble art of conversation. For
conversation Is an art as we'll as gift. 1t is
learned best by familiar intercourse between
young and old, in the leisure and unreserve Of
the evening social circle. But when young
girls are banished from this circle by the
pressure Of sohool-tasks, talking only with
their school-mates till they "come out" into
society, and then monopolized entirely by
young persons of their own age, they easily
learn to mistake chatter for conversation, and
"small talk" becomes for life their only me.

lectual training of the day, there never was

WoMEN OF WIT AT PARIs--MADAMB RECA.
MER's INFLuENCE.-Madame Recamier was
born at Lyons in 1777. She was the daughter
of a notary, distinguished only for his hand
some wife, and remembered for certain politi.
cal difficulties from which the youthful Juliette
assisted to free him. At the age Of fifteen she
married M. Recamier, a handsome man Of
forty two, and aImostimmsdately commenced
q long series Of triumphs, achieved by her sur
passing beauty-a beauty which fascinated all
orders and descriptions Of men-joinsd to q
winning grace, quick intelligence, and real
capacity for genuine and lasting friendship.
Tho women of France-inAuential from a
remote period--have at times acquired de-
gree of power, amazing to such readers as
have never carefully studied their complex
training, and the singular and complex ma
terial which they moulded and ruled. But
Madame Recamier gathered about her an ele-
CANT and high born society, rather literary
than political, and attracted ITS members as
much by her dazzling personal charms, as by
any pretensions to wit and intellect Still
she became social power. She reached the
springs of Partisan journalism and held, to
some extent, the temporary reputation Of the
best men in France in her keeping.

JArAsnsn DAsoIsa GtnIs.-A correspondent
of the Elmira IN. Y. J Adsertiser writes from

Japan in o recent letter OF q Japanese ballet:
At evening came troupe Of dancing girls to
the hotel, under the supervision of the indefati-
gable Paul, accompanied by native band. The
dancing girls, three in number, were from the
interior of the island, of small stature and slight
forms, eighteen or twenty years old. Their dress
was like that Of the other females, though gay
in color, the sstang being made Of rod and blue.
The sash was drawn tightly around the body,
that the rounded outline Of the form might not
be lost Around the waist was q ciasturs, over
laid withsilver leaf, in tinsel bracelets on their
arms, and wreathes Of fragrant leaves entwined
with their dark hair. Lights were brought from
the house andthe dancers began their evolutions
on the crushed coral avenue in front. The dance
was little else than forward and back move
ment with the feet, accompanied by q swaying
motion Of the body, in accord with the music.
Each dancer carried fan, which was kept
in constant motion, not so much for cooling
purposes as graceful adjunct Of this Javanese
ballet. Each one sang in turns unknown
words TO indescribable tunes, covering her face
as she sang with her fan, and marking the
time with her little feet and swaying body.
These Javanese men and women have small
hands and feet of symmetrical shape. The
band was led by q native of solemn counte-
nance, with his one stringed fiddle bra
zen gong did good duty in lieu Of . bass
drum another beat an oblong wooden drum,
and yet another had before him three oymbals,
which he beat with wooden mallet. Both
songs and music were for the most part rude
enough, though at times they succeeded in
producing strains of pleasant melody. The
soft, flowing Maylayan tongue has been very
aptly called, The Italian Of the East bui
these girls sang in native Javanese dialect
