as follows to the quest made Of them at

out Of the proposed avenue, nor for the

pect of literattrt-. -iere IS an aversion to the
mere coquetry and display of morocco and
red letters and the toys which amuse the
minds of men,
A certain book seller who is noted for his
courtesy observes that there is no COMPARE
son between the way men treat his books and
the way of the women. Few men, compare
lively, examine his stock, and for the most
part they are men who know. That the men
appreciate the value of his books, while the
women depreciate il, was his little mot
While such a woman as Andrew Lang de-
scribes may be found now and then, her

of women who look on books in the light of
household furnishings, and adopt the same
means of ascertaining their value that they

such a standpoint, asked to guess the value
of a fine book, she is morally sure to estimate

Or friend the bookseller said that about
year ago he received over a hundred fine
heliotypes from Boston publisher, which he
exposed for sale. All day they stood there,
the admiration of nearly every woman that
entered his store, and at night they looked
very little like the beautiful prints Of a few
hours before. They were crumpled and
soiled, and one or two were torn, and, that
nothing might be lacking to complete their
ruin, each had mysterious, small purple
stains all along the margins. The day had
been rainy, and these tell tale marks were
the prints of the wet, black kid gloves of his
customers. He says also that it is not I'M
common for women to come into his store
out of a snow storm. kay down their wet
