such woman might have done and

tender and strong" Had she been
strong where she was weak, France was
Of all countries the one to have adored
her. She might, had she brought her
magnificent powers to bear against the
laWlessness and sensualism Of her day,
have built barriers to vice that would
have checked its food. What could she
not have done for the women of her time
in her halt-century OF work Such
knowledge Of all the subtle phases Of
human passion as she possessed gave
her the key to hearts. Such eloquence
and power made her influence lrresisti-
BILE whenever she chose to exercise it,.
1t was for her to have kindled noblest
aspirations in women; to have been her.
self the representative Of all that was
greatest and purest. She could have
wrought so nightly on the three gener-
ations she saw, that shame should have
oYertaken social wrong. To-day those
who most admired her genius afe hall
afraid to say she was worthy OF France.
1t was in herpower to have made France
strive to be worthy OF her. She reigns
over world of thought in which she
created new era. She should have
been ruler in higher moral realm,
that would have recognized her scepter,
and have been redeemed under her
sway. How she could have exalted
homes how she could have stimulated
mothers, who, in turn, should have in
spired scorn of vice in sons and a
higher ideal of womanly purity in daugh.
ters! Sne could have led the men she
followed, and those whose pernicious

A Curious Plant,

The Kinnikinuick plant is thus de-
scribed by Ii. H., in the Atlantic tor
December:
Imagine that a garden border of box
should lay itself down and behave like a
blackberry Vine-arun, and scramble, and
overlap, and send myriads of long ten
drills out in all directions-and you Will
have picture OF the shape, the set OF
the leaf, the thick mating OF the
branches, and the utter unrestrained-
ness of root OF kinnlkinniek. Adj to
this the shine of the leaf OF the myrtle,
the green OF green grass in June, and the
Vember, and you will have a picture Of
Its lustrousness and its colors. The
solid centres of the mats are green; the
young tendrils run out more and more
vivid red to their tips. In June it is
fragrant with clusters OF small pink and
white bells, much like huckleberry
blossoms. In December it is gay with
berries as red as The berries OF the
holly. Neither midsummer heat nor
midWinter cool can tarnish the sheen
nor shrlvel the tullness of it's leai. 1t
has sucn vitality that no barrenness, no
drought, deters it, in fact, 1T is more

roots seem to take slight hold of the
soil. You may easily, by little care in
loosenlng the tendrils, pull up SOLID
mats five to seven feet long. Fancy
these at Christmas in pne's house. i

| wall. 1t has stem ali inch in diameter,
gnarled and twisted like an old
ceadar-the delight OF an artistic
eye, the surprise and scorn OF

gnarled bOugh bursts great growth OF
luXuriant green branches, each branch
Chartered at its tips and vivid green at
its centre. 1t was hung as u crown OF

Cenci ior two months, and not leaf has

CRITICS OF FEMALE FASHIONS

CRITICS OF FEMALE FASHIONS
From the time of the genial Spectator
when Addison found rare diversion il
criticising the dress of the fine ladies oi
his period, down to the present day
when the merciless paragraphist turns
his glass of rldicule upon every article
OF female apparel, it has been the fate 0
woman to create fashions and invent
styles only to have them scoffed at by
the sex which she endeavors to please
In other words it has become the fash.
ion to laugh at fashion, and the very
man who claims to be the soul of gal
lantry towards woman will dip his pen
in gall and wormwood and make pitiIess
sport of that same woman's spring bon
net. He will hurl shafts of ridicule at
her head-gear; he will pile wit and
humOr upon her hustle, and her
Grains and trails he will trampIe upon
with demoniacal delight.
She encases herself in erinoline and
becomes irresistibly comic in his sight
She assumes the pin-back, and he is
straightway thrown into paroxysm oi
laughter. Rhymesters celebrate her in
wretched doggerel, and artists are en-
ployed to exaggerate her costume and
bring her into contempt.
AND after all this is very ungraceful
In sex, which is more conservative,
of itIcf hcIJ I'd in ifa
fashions. Nothing of woman's inven.
lion was ever more unbecoming or in.
convenient than the stiff stove.pipe hat
which has decked the male head for at
least hundred years. No changes in
Womans apparel have been as grotesque
as those effected in the fashion Of mems
pantaloons; from knee.breeches with
bose to great, bagging trousers, like a
Turks, OF tight-legged pants that were
painfully suggestive of Shanghai roost.
ers,
Aside from this, however, there is
another fact connected with feminine
fashion which should lead us to regard
them more tenderly and look upon them
more soberly. 1t is not generally
known, and certainly not acknowl
edged, that men themselves are directly
responsible Tor the principal changes in
style which attract SO much attention,
yet IL is true. The manufacturers, i'm.
porters and vendors of dry.goods are
men, who design, create and select their
own patterns. The prime originators OF
~radss and fashions, tae chief publish
