American Women.

A European cannot srend an evening
in an American drawing room without
perceiving that the attitude of men to-
ward women Is not that with which he is
familiar at home, writes Professor Byrce
in The american Commonwealth.
The average European man has usually
q slight sense of condescension when he
talks to woman on serious subjects.
Even if she is his superior in i allect,
in character, in social rank, he thinks
that as man be is her superior, and
consciously or unconsciously talks down
to her. She is too much accustomed to
this to resent it, unless it becomes taste
lessly palpable.
Such notion does not cross an
American's mind He talks to woman
Just as be would to a man, of course
with more Difference of manner, and
with proper regard to the topics likely
to interest her, bat giving her his intel
]ectual best. addressing her as person
whose opinion is understood by both to
be worth as much as his own. SINH
larly, an American lady does not expect
to have conversation made to her. 1t
is just as much her duty or her pleasure
TO lead it as the mans is, and more often
thax not she takes the burden from
aIira, darling along with gay vivacity
which puts to shame his slower wits.
The respect for women which every
American man either feels or is obliged
by public sentiment to profess has
wholesome effect on his conduct and
character, and serves to check the cyni-
cism which other peculiarities of the
country foster The nation as a whole
owes to the active benevolence of its
women, and their zeal in promoting So
cal reforms, benefits which the Gus
toms of Continental Europe would
scarcely have permitted women to con-
fer. Europeans have of late years he
gun to render the weil-deserved admit
ration to the brightness and vigacity Of
American ladies' Those who know the
work they have done and are doing in
many noble cause will admire still
more their energy, their courage, their
self-deyotion. No country seems to owe
more to its women than America does,
nor to owe them so much of what is
best in social institutions and in the be-
hefs that govern conduct

THE JAcKET-MANTLE.

For walking and visiting toilets, jack
cts, or, more correctly speaking, jacket
mantles, are in great favor. They are
made in various styles; but the prettiest
model is certainly the jacket embroidered
with fine silk cord, combined with pat
terms in velvet or plush, worked in ap-
plique. 1t is made of ''corscron, very
fine sort of cloth, which has not the lustre
of Amazon cloth, but forms dull back
ground to the pretty patterns worked
over it, rendering them most effective.
The fronts and back are embroidered all
round the outline with a border, and
over the fronts detached patterns of
leaves, ferns or pines are added. Mere
braiding is much less fashionable. Where
there are no patterns in applique, tiny
seeds, either fat or round, are combined
with the braid so as to initiate punches
of berries, the effect of which is very
good.

How many young ladies of to-day
would laugh at the absurd idea, as they
express it, of kissing mother, but you
cannot. dear girls. imagine how it will
brighten her dear face. Besides, you
owe her kiss or two. Away back.
when you we're little girl, she kissed
you when no one else was tempted by
your fever-tainted breath and swollen
face. You were not so attractive then
as you are now. Aud through those
years of childish sunshine and shadows
she was always ready to cure by the
magic of mothers kiss the little, dirty,
chubby hands whenever they were iu-
iured in those first skirmishes with the
rough world. And then the midnight
kisses with which she routed so many
bad dreams as she leaned above your
restless pillow have all been on interest
these long, long years. OF course, she
is not so pretty aud kissable as You are,
but if you had done your share of work
these last ten years the contrast would
not be so marked. Her face has more
wrinkles than yours, and yet if you were
sick that face would appear far more
beautiful than an angels as it lowered
over you, watching every opportunity
to minister to your comfort, and every
one of those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wave!ets of sunshine chasing
each other over the dear face.-Loco-

Miss Giddimiss was angry. Mr..
Gettethere had actually attempted to
Kiss her and had known her only
twenty-four hours.
How dare you?" she exclaimed
why, l have known gentlemen for

"Ah" returned Mr.. Gettethere,
"but they could not have been so sus-

The compliment was like stream

said. Il cannot trust myself with

you You won't insist on staying if I

he returned.

miss added; "and so L am going to ask
you Do you know that lamp is

Thus she interrupted herself

"But may stop until the last drop

Thank you. / wish you would"
The lamp, which was a high one.
stood between one of the windows and
the door. 1t was this window that Mr.
Gettethere raised.
No sooner was it up than a strong
draught swept across the apartment
and carried the lamplight with it., The
room was enveloped in darkness.
Miss Giddimiss sprang to her feet.

Mr.. Gettethere had no match, but
he, too. was sure there was some oil
left. Until that oil was exhausted he
had been granted the privilege of re-
naming.
Accordingly, he sat down beside
Miss Giddimiss and informed her that
he rather enjoyed dark room.
Two hours later there was a sound
of key in the front door.
"Oh, Jack jack"
1t was Miss Giddimiss who spoke,
and though she whispered the words,
Mr.. Gettethere realized that she was
very much alarmed.
Light the lamp! Light the lamp"
she repeated, nervously. 1T is papa
and mamma returning. If We are
found in the dark we are lost"
"But you know l have no Matches"
