The strength of women lies i'm thei1
hearts. 1t shows itself i'm their strong
love and instructive perception o.
right and wrong. Intellectual cour
age Is rarely one of their virtues. A.
a rule they are inclined to be restless
ard excitable, allowing their judg
ment to be swayed by quick emotion:
of all kinds but above all, it is in
their hopefulneSs and endurance that
they find their chief powers.
Fatima Ben Ali was u Young Arab
girl. with whom a French subaltern
fell in love. some months ago in Tunis.
He was wounded i'm one of the fights
there, and taken to hospital in
Paris. Fatima followed him and
reached the city only to learn that he
had died of his wounds. Taken i'll
with brain fever. the girl was sent to
another of the public hospitals, where
she soon ended her days.
The house selected for the temporary
residence of the queen, near Mentone.
is said to he in one of the loveliest
spots to be found along the whole
coast. 1t is called the chalet des
ROziers, and stands nearly 100 feet
above the sea line. Groves of olive,
orange and lemon trees embower it,
and the style of its architecture is the
most unique in the country. The place
is rarely accessible to the curious, In

sister, with deep and ardent love for
such, will ever cease to cherish hope
or endure suffering on their account :?
The patience of women is proverbial,
and their whole lives are bound up in
their affections.
Few people will deny that love, in
one form or another. makes up the
beauty of the life of a woman. 1t enters
into all she does. Any work outside
her immediate circle is undertaken,
most often, from pure desire to help
some one else to know something of
the mysterious happiness of love. Un-
like men. women chiefly look for per.
sonal intercourse with those for whom
they are working. If their interest
lies among the poor, they are DESTROYS
of sympathetic personal acquaintance
with them, and very little work of
lasting kind has been done by women
without their own influe nee of love
being brought to bear on the individ-

A great many housewives, who are
dependent upon their husbands for
money, and consequently inclined to
value it highly, have a talent for
making bargains, and there are few
gifts more subject to abuse. Ladies,

How cruel! And yet,in both instances,
the wrong was done by kind-hearted
women. More evil is wrought by
want Of thought than by want Of
heart. But in this world it is our
business to think.
