A Pretty Hand.

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
In woman; charm that never fails and
better than all it is a means of fascina-
tion that never disappears. Women
carry beautiful hand with them to the
grave, when a beautiful face has long
ago vanished or ceased to enchant. The
expression of the hand, too, is inexhaus-
tible; and when the eyes we may have
worshiped no longer fash or sparkle,
the ringlets with which we may have
played are covered with cap, or worse,
a turbah, and the symmetrical presence
which in our sonnets has reminded us SO
of autelopes and of wild gazelles have
all. all vanished, the hand, the immor.
tai hand, defying alike time and care,
still vanquishes and triumphs; and,
small, soft and fair, by an airy attitude,
gentle pressure or new ring, renews
with untirng grace the spell that bound
our enamored and adoring youth. -
Something to Read.

Is the cane to be added to the umbrella
and the broom, those special weapons OF
woman's warfare? The field of the cane
has usually been held by man alone, and
whatever else woman might, could, or
would do, it has not been considered
"womanly" for her, or perhaps she had
no desire, to carry a cane. But the times
are changing. and now it is au occasional
though still not very frequent sight. to
see woman i'm the streets of staid Boston
daintily carrying graceful little cane.
Their numbers are increasing too, and
who tell that but few months hence
women's hands will be as well acquaint-
ed with the cane as they. are now with
the universal handbag! AT any rate the
masculine pedestrian hasn't as much to
fear from the cane in feminine hands as
he has from an umbrella, for when wo-
man carries cane she doesn't dandle it
around in the air or let it stick out at an
angle of as degrees behind her. She
plants it down firmly on the sidewalk at
every step, as if she meant to get out of
it it's moneys worth in apparent if not
in actual support Boston Globe.
