The GREEKS AND TIE GRECIAN BEND
The Greeks never changed their style of dress
The plain robe and tunic OF Dsmosthcnes; the
peplum of Helen, hung in similar folds to that
of the pepum of Aspasia. The Greeks never
grew tired of the simple folds and the statuesque
curves of the simple dress their first scujptors
had immortaized What would they have said
of the 'Grecian bend,' that last distolt ton OF
tolly and affcctation? The purest idea OF the
wav a woman should walk Is the manner 10
which milk girl carries her pail--serect, bu1y-
ant. elastic, the bosom thrown forwarl, the
head nm. Put such child OF nature, Irish or
Welsh. beside young lady walking in the ab-
snrd way now fashionable! 1t matters little
whether the modern belle tries to walk SO, OF
whether high heeed shoes produce 10 her that
Chinese helplessness Gne would think she
was trying TO play SOFT OF female pantaloon,
as she minces forward with retty helplessness
some form Of spinal disease being induced by
every step. Farewell to what French cynics
call "the grenadier strides" of English women
Women totter forward now they do not walk,
The French scufhc and the Spanish glide are
divine compared with such q style OF walking
as the Grecsn Bend produces. The bend
is uneraceiul, unnatural, and unhealthy. But
it is useless 10 remonstrate or revlIe. What did
Punch do against crino loes? No folly in dress
was ever laughed down, " hat did EogartE
do against the absurdities Of bis day7 Nothing

The WIVES OF GREAT MEN.-The large
number of eminent descendants from Illus

The WIVES OF GREAT MEN.-The large
number of eminent descendants from illus
trious men must Lot be looked upon as the
results OF their marriage with mediocre wo-
men ; for the average ability of the wives oi
such men Is above mediocriy, contrary to the
commonly expressed opinion that clever men
marry silly women. 1t is not easy to prove
my point without considerable mass of QUO
tatlons to show the estimation in which the
wives OF large body of illustrious men were
held BY their intimate friends but the follow
ing arguments are not without weight:
First. the lady whom a great man marries is
very commonly one whom he has often met in
the society OF his own friends, and therefore not
likely to be silly woman. She is also usually
related to some of them, and therefore has q
probability OF being hercditarily gifted.
Secondly, as matter OF fact, large number
OF eminent men marry eminent women. Phil
ip ii OF Macedon and Olympias Caesars
liason with Cleopatra; Marlborough and his
most able vile; Helvctus married charming
lady. whose hand was also sought by both
Ffanklin and Turgot; August Wilhelm Won
Schlegel Was heart and soul devoted to Mad
anne De Stael ; Neckar's vile was blue stock
ing of the purest tue Robert Stephens, the
learned printer, had Petronella for his vito :;
the great Lord Burleigh, married two of the
highly accomplished daughters OF Sir Anthony
Cooke. All these names are those of decided
ly eminent women. They establish the exis-
tence OF tendency of like tc like" among
intellectual men and women.
On the ether hand, there is no evidence of a
strongly marked antagonistc taste-of clever
men liking really half witted women man
may be conscious of serious defects in his char
acter and select vile to supplement what he
wants, as u shy man may be attracted by wo-
man who has no other merits than those OF
talker and manager. Also, a yourg awkward
philosopher may accrsdit the first girl who
cares to show an interest in him with greater
intelligence than she possesses But these are
exceptional instances the great facs remains
that able men take pleasure in the society of
intelligent women, aud, if they can fnd such as
would in other respects be suitable, they will
marry them in preference to medocrities.
