qvEnglish women are remarkable for
their lresn compilations, their decided
and fearless gait, and the length Of
their feet, which reminds one that
twelve inches 90 to the foot In Eng.
land. Impossible to make taur pas
with such bases as these. They cannot
lose their center Of gravity. They
have only the beauty Of youth. An
Englishwoman Is seldom handsome at
80. In many respects the Englishwo-
man Is superior TO the Frenchwoman;
she IL more natural; she Is less subject
to vapors, and does not regularly get
her nligraine. She Is not 80 naive as
the young French girl; but, on the 9th
or hand, she Is less childish. She goes
out without her mamma and her maid,
gives you hearty grasp Of the hand,
and looks you unblushlngly In the face.
Unmarried, free as the air, she may 60
TO the theatre, take walk or even Q
journey with male companions; she Is
the leader Of society, indispensable at
all social gatherings and pleasure par.
ties. Married, she does not boast OF
leading her husband by the nose; she
attends 10 her house and her children;
she does not make love 10 her husband.
but neither does she make love to other
men. If she is not more demonstrative
toward the former. 1t Is, in . great
measure, his own fault; he permits no
liberties to be taken with him. The
Englishman has not the bump of anna
tiveness; his neck, on ~ average, does
not measure more than fourteen inches;
her enticlng ways would be entirely
lost upon him. In her dignity, the
Englishwoman refrains from making
advances toward her lord and master
for fear Of their not being met with APP
proval. With us, q too strict watch
over our children, and the fear Of CIV
ing them too much liberty, engender

ant. No mother or governess would
think OF opening letter addressed to
her daughter or pupil the girl has her
private correspondence as sacred as
that of her elders. No letters received
on the sly; no letters written to young
sweethearts at midnight. The absence
Of suspicion destroys the charm Of mys-
terry. Gentlemen never use
Objectionable expressions among them

BEAUTY's DUTY.
One Of the first duties Of woman ID
to always look as pretty as possible.
1t goes without saying that wives,
mothers and maidens shall be good
tempered, skilled in housewifery. true
hearted and kindly tempered. 10 /
Leaving the greater matters Of the
unwritten laws of life, however.
amongst the minor ones Is that which
makes 1t an instinct with beauty to
adorn itself.
A bit Of ribbon here, a touch OF color
there, charm of face and figure, shape
ly hands and pretty feet, comedy waist
and supple neck; here, there and every
whore about beauty's person, from the
curve OF the dainty little pink ear to
the slope OF the shoulders and the car
riage Of the person, there is one mani
fest voice to be heard-I am trying to
look my best"
And, what is more, woman ought no
more to neglect trying to look pretty to
the end of her days than she ought to
forget to do her duty.
Who does not know the dear old
grandmother, whose sweet wrnkled
face, clean cap, clean dress, and Law
ender-scented lace collar carry one
back to childhood's daysp There are
years there, and the experience of
trouble, the witness Of losses, memories
Of bridals and Of graves, and rapid
approach to those silent churchyard
gates through which we must all walk
whether we will or not. m
But grandmother is pretty still, and
will always be pretty till the white
hands are clasped over the quiet breast,
and she goes home to those who went
home before her. F .rtuf
A woman no matter how poor she Is,
and how deep the cares of the family,
ought to take more and more pains
with her dress as time rolls on. A
young girl may wear almost anything.
A matron, however, who has lost the
trst plump charm and indefinable beau.
ty OF youth, has to BIZ careful.
