coECBREING WOMEN.

OF French and English women, the Lon.
don Globe says 1.-THE typical French
woman's character is not deep, but it has
been traced out by Nature with 10 I'M
steady hand. Her spirit of independence,
her comparative freedom from that timidity
which is often represented as beautiful
weakness of her sex, have enabled her to
conquer much of the ground that belongs
additionally to man, simply by qualifying
herself to compete with him industrially
and intellectually in a multitude of WAYS.
The Frencbwoman is not the most affec.
tlonate of spouses, but in her devotedness
TO her children she is not to be surpassed.
while the interest she takes in her nus.
bands work and her desire to help bin for
the common good throw into bold relief
the strongest side of her character. What
we wish to lay stress on is the fact
that the Frenchwoman, although ex.
tremely emotional at times, in the
ordinary business of life looks at nothing
through a romantic and sentimental me.
dunn. 1t is, this popularity which marks
the chief distinction between her and the
Englishwoman. The latter is less passion
ate, but she is also less practical. From
maidenhood to old age her views of life are
romantic. Even after much misfortune
and disappointment she rarely realizes
things as they are. 1t is the exception
when she loves her children more than her
husband, while the Frenchwoman's affec-
tion for her offspring is generally all
absorbing. The seutimentality of the
Engiishwoman is at once her strength and
her weakness. It is her strength because
it is intimately associated with strong re.
ligious instinct and reverence for moral
principles which color all her thoughts and
direct her conduct 1t is her weakness,
because 1t Is apt to make her rely too much
upon others, and TO hope when she should
act.
The Pail Mall Gazette saws: "'Liber.
al Dress as they appear to call divided
skirts IN America, seems to cause as much
astonishment there as over here, at least in
New York State. A Mss TilIotson, who
appeared in drab blouse with her legs en-

siderable attention the other day from the
inhabitants of Watkins, n. Y, whittier she

OF the extension Of the movement for
admitting women to the employments
hitherto reserved for men, the London
Spectator says: Whether we like it or
dislike it, that movement, now that it has
once been set on foot, ia certain to become
larger and larger. Both because their
wants are fewer, and because they have to

at all, they will take lower wages than
men, and in many situations they will prob
ably give more care and diligence in re.
turn. In the first instance it will be the
more stupid men who will suffer from their
rivalry. When it is found that the serv-
ices of fairly efficient young woman can
be had for less money than it has hitherto
been the custom to pay very inefficient
young man, inefficient young men will be
more of drugs in the market than they
even now are. As the education of women
improves, the clever girls will more and
more come abreast CT the clever young
men, and then the same process will be
