Of mothers whose hearts glowed with love TOR
their baby girls, just as yours does, my dear
reader, when you look into your little daugn-
ter's future and dream Of her, all on high,
pure plane, above possible temptation, and
far removed from the shadow Of disgrace IL
is no time to question how downfall became
possible. Perhaps because cruel death TOOK
away maternal care, Of the villain ap-
preached in the guise Of an angel, and the
poor little clod of clay was no match Tor
even counterfeited celestial Establishments.
Never mind that now. She is waiting at the
door Of the Woman's refuge, bhghted
being, an example that should stand tfe-
time warning TO the young and thougntless
| girl who hears her history. But the refuge
| gives even this poor, misguided soul hope OF
future peace, if not of happiness, There Is
here promise of new life. What holy
| mission in this and how the work appeals to
the heart Of woman, who recognizes the BOND
| of sisterhood when the unvocsd misery Of
the human heart is brought before her

Some people are surprised, and some palri-
officially indignant, at the havoc made among
orr rnarriageable American women by for
eipners with titles. Not only our young girls,
lust budding into society, but our bouncing,
mature widows are being carried over the
ocean by the score, and the homes of our
Fifth avenoodles begin to feel in the shade II
they cannot announce an expected visit from
our daughter, the Marchioness of Dryrot,"
or "our dear Countess Carbnncle."
Henry Labouchere has explained the desire
of the foreign nobility to seek American
wives. Girls in England are awkward, red
eIbowed, large footed, badly dressed, hoyden-
ish misses, with giggling propensities and no
conversational powers American girls are

cheeky well dressed, good conversation

The principal attraction Of American
women. however is the fact that they have
money aud can do with it generally what
they please. Tie worst use they can put il
m is TO bestow It on a bcGEarly foreigner be

would do better to spend it on home manu-

An essential inequality of the sexes is based
on the tendency to lengthen girlhood and
shorten boyhood The boy is pressed for
ward into business five years earlier than he
used to be fifty years ago, while the girl OF
20 does not know as much of housekeeping as
the gil Of Is of as long ago. In other words,
girls are petted and babiei, while boys are
set to work. The effect is not at all favorable
to the desirable end of producing happy
homes. There Is good deal involved in the
equalization of the sexes that is not taken
into account in the oratorical discussions OF
the question. 1t Is argued by Fiske that
heightened infancy is the basis OF finer char
acrer and home instincts. However, ever

A good story is gradually leaking out in
Bath society circles at the expense OF well
known BATH lady, who was recently married.
The ceremony occurred in a church, and the
bride, that she might not soil her slippers
nor catch cold, drew on pair OF her fathers
white hose before leaving the house. Ar
irving at the Church, in the excitement pecu-
liar TO uoyices on such occasions, the bride
forgot about the socks in which her feet and
sinners were incased, and walked to the
front of the church entirely oblivious of her
foreetfulness. However, all went We'll until

placed their authors in one class. the general
tendency being, if we remember rightly, 10
put Mrs Henry Wood somewhat above MISS
Braddon. The subsequent achievements OF
the two writers failed TO justify this compar-
alive estimate As novel after novel came
from Mrs Henry Woods pen, it cannot be
said that her popularity with the ordinary
novel devourer, who simply wants q few
hours OF imaginative excitement, showed
any signs of diminution and to him 1t was
matter of Indifference whether the excite
rnent were provided by Miss Braddon or Mrs.
Wood. More careful readers, however, no
ticed that while the novels of the former
were characterized by sustained fecundlty OF
invention in the matter, and increasing grace
and finish in the manner, those of the latter
DISPLAYED q monotony of structure which
smoke of narrowuess of inventive resource,
and which threw into prominence certain
coIloouial commences Of style that had at
first escaped observation. Mrs. Wood put all
her best work into the first dozen of her books,
and during her latter years she was living
in public favor not by her work, but on
her reputation. That reputation could never
have been Won by THE Story Of Charles

which have no vital connection with each
other, which are exceedingly clumsy in con-
strlction, and which, when they cease TO Do
