does not know.

than in love.
One must be a woman to know how
to revenge.
Woman is a creature between man
and the angels.
Women who have not fine teeth
laugh only with their eyes.
Friendship between women is only
a suspension of hostilities.
Women ask ifa man is discreet, as
men ask it a woman is pretty.

than when they weep with spite.
When women cannot be revenged,

accord, would outwit a dozen devils.

which her beauty prompts us to be

WHAT LORD BEACoNsFIELD THOUGHT
OF THEM.
The action of women upon our des-
tiny is unceasiHg.-Sybil.
A reputation for success has as
much influence with women as a rep
utation for wealth has with men,
Coningsby.
Male 6rmness is very often obsti-
macy. Women have always something
better, worth all qualities. They have
tact.-Coningshy.
Our strong passions break into a
thousand purposes; women have one.
Their love is dangerous, but their hate
is fatal.-Alroy.
In the present day, and especially
among women, one would almost sup
pose that health was a state of unnat-
ural existence.-The Young Duke,
There is 40 modification, however
keen, no misery, however desperate,
which the spirit Of woman cannot in
some degree tighten or alleviate
ConinQsby.
Talk to women as much as you can.
This is the best school. It is the way
to iuency, because you need not care
what you say, and had better be sem
sible. -Contarina Fleming.
l believe women are loved much
more for themselves than is supposed.
Besides, a woman should be content
if she is loved; that is the point; and
she is not to inquire how far the acct
dents of her life contribute to the re-
sult.-Endymion.
WOMEN, ACCORDING TO SOME FRENCH
AUTHORS.
Woman is an idol which man wor.
ships, until be throws it down.
Women love always; when earth
slips from them they take refuge in
heaven.
Montague: There is no torture that
a woman would not suffer to enhance
her beauty.
Malherbe: Of all things that man
possesses, women alone take pleasure
in being possessed.
A. Dupuy: Before promising a wo-
nan to love only her, one should have
seen them all, or should see only her.
We meet in society many beautiful
and attractive women, whom we think
would make excellent wives-for our
friends.
L.. Desnoyers: We censure the in
constancy of women when we are the
victims; we find it charming when we
are the objects.
Seinsc de Melhan: Woman among
savages is a beast Of burden; in Asia
she is also a piece Of furniture; in
Europe she is a spoiled child.
Madame de Girardin: 1t is not easy
to be a widow; one must reassume all
the modesty OF glrlhood, without being
allowed to feign its ignorance.
The highest mark of esteem a wo-
man can give a man is to ask his
friendship; and the most signal proof
Of her Indifference is to offer him hers.
Retif de la B%retonne; At twenty,
man is a less lover of woman than
women; be is more in love with the
sex than the individual, however
charming she may be.
Women of the world never use
harsh expressions when condemning
their rivals. Like the savage, they
huFl elegant arrows, ornamented with
feathers Of purple and azure, but with
poisoned points.
