Woman to French Eyes.

When Time spares beauty he COM
pletes it.
Women do not read; they listen with
the eye.
A woman would sooner rule heart
than fill it; not so with man.
Friendship between women is only a
suspension of hostilities.
A woman need not always recall her
age, but she should not forget it.
A woman listens to play with her
mind, and Judges it with her senses.
1t takes as much wit not to displease
woman, as it takes to please her.
A woman's friendship is, as rule, the
legacy of love or the aims of indiffer-
ence.
Heaven gave women tongues to ask
questions with, and eyes to give answers
with.
1t is surprising how near age brings a
woman to death, and how little it pre-
pares her for it.
The woman who confides to one man
her partiality for another, seeks advice
less than an avowal.
We are always anxious to know why
we are loved; they only care to know
how much we love them.
In church women think that they re-
ceive because they observe, and that
they are meditating when they are only
holding their tongues.
It is often more meritorious act for a
woman to allow something good to be
said of another woman, than it would
be for her to say it herself.
The highest mark of esteem woman
can give to man is to ask his frienship,
and the most signal proof of her indiffer-
ence is to offer him hers.
Women attain perfection in but two
departments of Observation-Disclosures aud
memoirs. They only write well when
they imagine they are talking.
Those women are to be pitied who pass
their lives between the world and the
theatre, poor souls who have only fiction
as a relief from falsehood.
She is to be pitied who thinks to find
friend other than her husband if she
be wife, than her children if she be a
mother, than God if she be neither.
As rule women care little for come
dy, because it makes them enter into
themselves Give them the drama which
draws them out of themselves.
The jealousies of friendship are in this
more exhausting than those of love;
there are only phantoms to fight. and
the price is merely a chimera.
Friendship is picnic to which all
parties contribute, and therefore is
something women cannot understand.
With them one party or the other must
stand the treat.
Women who would hesitate about
crying before husband or a lover have
no scrupies about shedding tears before
an audience. It is with their emotions
rs with their shoulders-they are only
displayed in public.
A woman's fall is something like that
of a child. The first intimation that the
child has that is has tumbled down. is
conveyed in the fact of its being
picked up.
Some coujugal facilities can be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that many a
women is satisfied to be nothing in her
husbands heart so that she is every.
thing in his life.
"A WOmdu WIN IaheS d WomdA W ACi
friend introduces her into her life as they
do the bearer of flag of truce into the
enemy's camp-unarmed and blind
folded.
Man goes to the dogmas: woman is
satisfied with sacraments. Here instinct
apprehends. what his reason is slow to
admit-tflat God allows Himself to APP
preached more readily than to be under
stood.
