LIVES AND CHARACTERS OF FRENCH
WOMEN OF THE EARLY SALONS.

che Beautiful Fad-A Word to the Busy
GirI-In the Sick Room-Women of
High CuIture-The Advanced Condition
of woman-The Friendships of Girls.
The traits which strike US most forcibly
in the lives and characters of the women
Of the early salons are delicacy and sensi-
bility; they colored their minds, ran
through their literary pastimes, and gave
a distinctive flavor to their conversation.
It was these qualities, added to decided
taste for pleasures of the intellect and an
innate social genius. that led them to re-
volt from the gross sensualism Of the
court, and form upon a new basis a so
ciety that has given another complexion to
the last two centuries. The natural result
was at first a reign of sentiment that was
often overstraincd, but which represented,
on the whole, reaction of morality and
refinement.
The wits and beauties Of the salon bleu
may have committed a thousand follies,
but their chivalrous codes of honor and of
manners, their fastidious tastes, even their
prudish affectations, were open, though
sometimes rather bizarre, tributes to the
virtues that lie ut the very foundation of a
well ordered society. They had exalted
ideas of the dignity Of wOmanhood, of pur-
ity, of loyalty. of devotion. The heroines
of Mile. de Scudery, with their endless dis
courses upon the metaphysics of love, were
no doubt tiresome sometimes to the blase
courtiers as well as TO the critics; but their
lofty and fine spun sentiments charmed
the great Condo in his cell at Nincennes,
the eloquent Flechier, the ascetic DAN
dilly at Port Royal, as well as the roman
tic maidens who sighed over their fanciful
dreams and impossible adventures.
They had their originals in living wom-
en- who reversed the common traditions of
n Gabrielle and a Marion Delorme; who
combined with the intellectual brilliancy
and fine courtesy of the Greek Aspasia the
moral graces that give so poetic fascina-
ton to the Christian and medi9val types
Nine. De la Fayette painted with rare deli
cacy the old struggle between passion and
duty, but character triumphs over passion, )
and duty is the final victor. In spite of
the low standards of the age the ideal
woman of society, as Of literature, was
noble, tender, modest, pure and loyal

A Word to the Busy Girl.

| want to speak little speech to the girl
who is very near my heart-the girl who
has TO work for her own living. had the
| pleasure of attending the convention of the
Working Girls societies at Cooper Union,
New York. | have never seen a brighter
Drawer, more wemRnly set of girls in my
life, and ! realized more than ever the
great number of women who are wage
eRrners, and / felt a great throb of thank
fulness that they all looked so clean heart
ed. The working girl who does her work
well, who earns her money honestly, is al
ways willing to pay for what she gets, but
who, because of the hours that must be
devoted to the daily toll. very often pays
more than she needs because there is SO
much she cannot do herself
In the evening the eyes that have been
strained ali day SIRE too tired to watch
needle as it goes in and out a darn, or
freshen and steam the trimming that is to
go upon hRtl The consequence is that
the mending is left forever undone and
milliner is paid FOR a new hat. Now, in
every city in the United States there are
women who want to earn money, who say
they do not know how to do it, and yet who
are mistresses of the art of sewing and
mendlng. Any gtIt would be willing to
pay proper price TO have the gown which
is torn, the stockings that are worn, the
gloves that are ripped, and the hat that is
getting dusty and worn, made to look as
good as new, but who shall do it?
Unfortunately, no mother is at hand to
look after this, and dependence must be
placed upon a stranger-if the stranger can
be found. Among the numerous women
who want to earn little money why
doesn't one start just such business as
this? Fresh braid can be put on skirt, it
could be given a cheerful brushing, the
torn pocket mended, fresh hooks put on a
belt, and, behold, it is the very thing want
ed for wear during business hours or on
rainy days A suitable price should be
asked for work of this kind, and | firmly
believe that the member who started prop
erly would soon find it necessary to adver-
tise for assistants. Let some one in one OF
the Working Girls clubs or in group of
Kings Daughters find the worker in this
special line, test her worth and then recon-
mend her to all the girls who want to have
the one stitch put in that will save the other
nine.-New York Letter.

THAT FOUNDING.

THE foundling business has not
been carried on at wholesale In this
part Of the world. Gases Of leaving
waits on doorsteps have been few
aud far apart. AS n consequence.
the advent Of the little stranger up
on the threshold OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Adkins dwelling created breeze
of interest yesterday.
The principals and aiders and abet-
tors in a matter of that kind are un-
natural and criminal in their con-
duct. AS n matter of course the
chief object of the interested parties
is to preserve the strictest secrecy as
to the Identification OF the parents
and other family connections Of the
foundling. In order TO further this
object, note was placed with the
poor neglected little one, giving a
description Of the mother. of the
man who produced her fall, and
stating the alleged fact Of his de-
parture for other parts. The writ
ing even went SO far as to delineate
the social standing of the grand
parents of the deserted little chap.
All Of this array of fa!sehood was
not only wicked, but absolutely
ridiculous. Who is so thin Drained
as TO take as genuine a description
given under such conditions Of
persons whose chief object is to pre-
vent disclosure of their identity.
This part Of the note was only
equaIled by the following:
"The parties interested are entirely
ignorant OF its whereabouts, SO you
can rest assured that your claim will
never be interfered with"
or course there was no idea that
the finding Of q founding on a
doorstep in a city where such in
cidents rarely occur would become a
subject OF popular knowledge ana
comment. aud that the Paul Prys
of the press would get hold OF the
details; consequently how could
there be any possible opportunity
for the parties interested to get to
know where the wslf was placed?
The fact is criminals of this class
are not over-burdened with brains,
and in carrying out a game Of de-
ception they generally cover it with
figuraiive mosquito muslin.
1t is not Improbable that Incl
dents Of the kind under considera-
ton, so common elsewhere, will
increase as the volume Of population
swells 10y reason Of fresh infiuxes
from other quarters. The poor little
fellow left in the tender care Of Mrs.
Adkins may be Iookej upon as a
probable product Of the boom.

and his acts; and yet this is done with
complete knowledge on the part OF
experienced men that such disa-
vowal was only thought OF when the
offending representative had been
found out. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED, no. only for the honor
OF the law, but for that OF The
newspaper profession, that the judge
could not find some warrant TO send
the reporter in question to jail at once
for contempt of court. While this
would not have reached the real
wrong doer, yet it would have been a
most useful example, not only TO men
thinking of such schemes for the
future, but TO the men Who assign
them, and to the others who are
helped by means so d.sreputable-
This is another OF those instances in
which the whole profession suffers
for the offense OF one OF its representa-
tives. It is, OF course. unjust; bat
there are so many cases similar to it
that the public is likely in the end to
reach the conclusion that there are no
papers whose editors AMI city editors
will not, upon occasion, resort to such
