The ideal Woman Of the Future.

says an eminent physician, ''must be

sique. Bulwer says: The match for
beauty is q man, not a money chest
Equally true is it that the match for
the ideal man, the coming Twentieth
century man, is a woman, nota bundle
of aches and pains. And woman will
not have gone far in her search for
health before she will have discovered
that her dress is a fetter self imposed,
which she herself must summon
strength to break.
She must cast of her slavery to
the fashion plate and 60 back to the
freedom and grace of the old Greek
ideals and find in the deep bosomed
Junos and the stately, well poised We
muses. of antiquity, with their loose
girdles and flowing lines of drapery,
her models in dress. She must be
strong and many sided mentally. All
art, all culture, all those mighty
principles of physical and psychical
law-of which an ancient Greek has
said that the divinity is mighty
within them and groweth not Old
must minister to her intellectual
wants, for how shall she give life who
knows not the principles of life. Last
md best of all, she must be grand in
that freedom and purityof soul which
,hall make her love a royal boon, o

JAMES THE SECONDS BODY.
An Effort Made TO Penetrate the Myster,
That Surrounded Its Burial.

An Effort Made to Penetrate the Mystery
That Surrounded Its Burial.
Miss Strickland, when making re-
searches ct Paris and ST. German for
ner life OF Mary Of Modena, was told
by the abbess (superior) of the Austin
nunnery that the Republicans broke
open James IFS coffin, that they found
tie limbs supple, that she believed
they had some superstitious reverence
for it, which, however, did not pre-
vent their making a show of it and re-
ceiving q sou or a franc from the
spectators, and for some reason the
corpse escaped destruction.
Fleeing together this and other ins
formation see Miss Jane Strickland's
recent life Of her sister, the bio
grapher of English queens stated, on
The authority of ''The Traditions of
Paris and St Germain," that the ia
Goblin crowd Of 1898 and 1794 were
seized with superstitious awe, that the
municipality took possession of the
hearse and body, that people crowded
70 see it from all parts of Paris, froma
sou 10 a franc was charged for admis-
sion, that miracles were whispered of,
that Robespierre ordered the body to
10 buried, that this was not done, but
that it was carefully and r~everently
preserved, that on the allies coming to
Paris in 1914 the body was still above
ground, that George ~ ordered it to
be carried in funeral procession to ST.
German and that it was inferred in
the church.
Agnes Strickland, on afterward see
ing Fitzsimmons' account, cited il as a
corroboration, but 1t is really Just the
reverse, for he concludes by saying:
"Where the body was thrown l never
heard. George ~ tried all in his
power TO get tidings Of the body, but
could not" Where could the body
have lain from 1894 to 1914, or rather
till 1854, for there was no ceremony
whatever in the former year, when,
indeed, St. Germans church was in a
ruinous stated Mrs. Fairbairn, the
superior of the Austin convent, could
speak only from hearsay, as she did
not enter the institution until 1919,
and she had not improbably been mis-,
led by Longueville Jones, whose visit
for collecting epitaphs is still remem-
bered.
Miss Strickland was strangely off
her guard when she accepted hearsay,
which it is so easy TO test. She had
had only 10 consult the newspapers of
1924, or TO read the ST. German in
scription, to see that there was no pro-
cession Of the body from Paris. In
deed, one can trace the slender foun-
dalton for almost every detail of her
story. The exposure OF the body for
nearly a whole day grew into a pro-
longed exhibition; the money given
by prisoners at the monastery for a
sight of il grew into payments made
by a concourse Of people from all parts
OF Paris; the miracles Immediately
following on James death grew into
miracle working in 1894, when belief
in the supernatural was at the lowest
ebb. There is every reason 10 suppose
that the body was flung into some
neighboring pit or sewer. Assuredly
all traces Of It had disappeared when
the terror ended.-New York Star.
