room was crowded. Davitt, in response

address to sParnell. Parnell was cheered
several minutes. He referred to the furma.
ton Of the land league and in conclusion
said: With regard to the question of includ-
ing Ireland in the extension of the fancbise,
our position is a strong and winning one.
Whether Ireland is included. or not we
shall return about eighty members at the
next election. Although our present pro.
eress is slow. we add to the impetus
given to the National cause in the days of
the great League movement. we must be
patient if we wish 20 win. Coercion cannot
last forever. Certain it rests with Irishmen
to determine at the next general election
whether 9 Liberal or Tory gort shall rule
England. This is our great force, that if
we cannot rule ourselves We can cause Eng
land to be ruled as We choose. We are &C.
termined that this generation shall not
pass way uutil it has bequeathed those
who come after us great right ofnational

A Professional Beauty.

A few years ago, fashionable society !
in Engl9 nd was agitated by the advent
of the professional beauty" a name
applied to women whose singular beau
ty tempted them to pose for the admira-
ton of men. English society, even of
the fashionable sort, is so decorous, that
high-born danes were disturbed by tho
presence of such an anomaly as virtu-
GUS woman whose manner said, II wish
to be stared at, for [ enjoy it," Yet on
the continent such women have long
been known, and society there freely
acknowledged their right to pose before
all who wis ned to admire them. A writ
er in the Century, who met an extra
ordinary beauty in Italy, the Countess
Castiglione, says her self-apprecation
was enormous, and her frankness in re-
gard to her beauty was most amusing.
On her return, after short visit to
England, some one aske her If she had
seen many handsome women there.
''None more beautiful than myself" was
was the brief but pointed reply.
Such was the 'craze" she excited that
a crowd gathered at the door of a ball
room to see her enter, and many of theGe
stood in chairs to crafty their curiosity.

disturb her equanimity. Sae might have
been embarrassed if she had not been
greeted by crowd.
But it was at her evening receptions
that her selfappreciation and love of
admiration were most frankly and brill
liantly expressed. She reclined on
sofa, withdrawn some distance from the
wall, in graceful pose and dressed SO
as to display her neck and arms to the
greatest advantage. Near her was a
lamp SO placed as to throw the proper
lights and shadows on her form and
features.
Her guests, men of course, were seat
ed in row at little distance, whence
they might gaze in respectful admira-
ton. Now and then she would signal to
one Of them, by laDguid movement of
her hand, that he might approach her.
The slayish admirer would advance with
q defereniiai bow, kiss her hand and tell
her she was beautiful. Then he would
pass around the sofa, that he might see
her from every point of view, and thus
return to his seat.
''The dictionary" says the writer il
the Century, "defines vanity as an in
flation of mind upon slight grounds
therefore, she was not vain. for her
grounds we're strong" Yet such enor-
nous selfappreciation, and love OF adj
mlration must have been disgusting to
refined observer, whose type of woman
hood required the presence of modesty,
simplicity and sweetness. -
