who gives you seat in car or omnibus,
and to any body, in any station OF life,
who shows you courtesy OF any kind.
We are apt TO be very stingy with our

much for granted, and to believe, in
having courtesies shown US, that they
are only what We deserve. Now this Is
the wrong way OF looking at It,
and some day it will serve that girl right

Woman's Helm.

Many a man distinguished in the world
OF letters coufesses that he owes much of
his success to his wife. Mr.. Gladstone
loves 10 tell of all his wife has done for
him. President Grevy also paid gener-
Gus tribute to his wife's usefulness.
But when the world talks of all man
has done, it seldom takes note of the
help some woman NAV have been 10 him;
for instance, It Is rarely said, although
tolerably we'll known, thar Mendels-
sohn IS sister, Fanny, wrote several of
the EXQUISITE "songs without Words
that appear under his name, and con-
tributrd uch to his musical fame.
Wordsworth : sister, II Is said, wrote his
famous poem of '.The Datfodis, - or The
greater part OF it, while almost every
great man is indebted TO his wife for as
large an amount Of research and clerical
work As Richard Brinsley Sheridan :
wife, the lovely Miss Linley, did for him
before one of bis great speeches in par
lament.

DIscreditabie Work,

The women who write sensational sto-
ries Of the worst sort are bringing a good
deal OF djscredit upon the efforts of
women in literature, but as matter of
fac, these women are not making efforts
i'll literature at all. Their work has no
more relation to literature than band
wngon- painting has to art. 1t Is true
that one or two of these cratic writers
have shown power which II rightly di-
rected might have made them capable of
excellent work. But there is absolutely
nothing 10 commend In the latest stories
Of this sort. Meanwhile there are plenty
OF women contributing high and fine
work, particularly in short stories, to
our American literature. The suggest
ion Of the New York Evening Post, '.It
would be a curious outcome of the pres
emit tendency il it should ultimately be
necessary to debar carefully reared
young ladies from all books written by
their own sex and limit them strictly to
a literature supplied by men, is Doubt
less made In jorular rather than a ga
tirical spirit. There is too much good
work being done for these pseudo books

Between scboo,,oom and Altar.

When the girl enters the world after
her education is s'fnished, - she does
not always find it what SIC expected.
The schoolroom il one thing, the world
another.
She may have been popular with her
teachers because she was a dnigent
scholar. and carried off the honors of the
school. But she finds that book kuowl-
edge does not make her popular or sue
cessful socially.
Some of the most intellectual people
have known have been among the most
disagreenhls. A woman whose Intellect
is aggressive, who paruies her knowledge
before those of inferior Intellect or edu-
cation, is an object to be dreaded.
Mere learning in a woman is never at
tractive. Ii is, on the contrary, Often
siye, unless coupled with feminine
graces. School learning should sink into
the character and department, ana only
exhibit itself US the perfume OF a flower
is exhibited-in q subtle, nameless aud
unobtruSive manner.
A woman S knowledge of grammar
should not make her talk like an orator
in daily life-it should simply make her
conversation gracious ana agreeable.
Mathematics should render her mind
clear, and her judgments true; her
geographical studies should teach her
that the world is too small for fnlseness
to find hiding place: aud history should
impress her that life Is too short for un-
worthy ambitions.
The time between the school room and
the altar should be not mere harvest
time OF pleasure, but q sowing time for

ice for others. aud of unSeliishneSs and
