WOMEN OF MAINE AND Dixie.
How the women Of the North and south
Compare.

10
How the Women Of the North and South
Compare.
In spite OF the fact that many OF our
characteristics as a nation are distinct
ly American, there also exists vide
difference between the people OF various
sections OF our land. Men OF the east
are easily distinguished from their
brothers In the west and the same may
be said OF those north and south OF the
Mason and Dixon's line.
But in the women OF the two sec
tons we see this difference even more
plainly marked.
The women of the north are pro-
gressive. They lead in every new
movement and are rapidly taking place
side by side with man in his hitherto
unapproachable positions. In law,
medicine and the ministry they are
prominent, while as business managers
in many commercial concerns they are
Acknowledged factors. The ''Woman's
Suffrage" the '.Woman's Christian
Temperance Union" and a thousand
and one other organizations are COM
posed of vast majority of women OF
the north and west. They are indie
pendent and brainy, self-reliant and
Industrious.
In the women OF the south we find
more of the graceful languor charac-
teristizing nations OF the tropical
chimes. The climate invites pleasant
life and bounteous Nature obviates the
necessity for much exertion. The
southern woman is essentially domestic
in her character-he home, husband
and children are her kingdom and SUBJ
jects. Little does she bother her head
about woman's suffrage or political
affairs-she wants pleasant home, q
loving husband and pretty children.
A daughter of Dixie is fond OF adj
miration. There is great literary taste
in the south. In fact, the southern wo-
man Is generally well educated, ana
those of the higher classes are most
accomplished in languages, music and
the classics. The number of our south
ern women who have recently made
themselves prominent by tneir pens
prove this. But the southern woman's
tastes are more in the direction of soci-
ETY. than of political progress, stump
speaking anal suffrage. She rarely ever
starts out on mission" for the eman-
cipation OF her sex. On the contrary,
Home is her only place" is the uni
versal sentiment here.
While the gayest Of girls she makes
good mother. While often the pillar
on which her husband really leans, she
is ALWAYS expecting from men the chiv-
alrous attentions to her helplessness to
which she hiss been accustomed from
childhood. Yet while shrinking from
public business there are few who can
take tirmer grasp on affairs in neces-
sity than herself.
The northern woman is strong, a CO.
laborer with man, as q rule, not vain
she is foremost in the ranks of progress
and independent in her everyday life.
Her southern sister never bothers about
such things She is gay girl, q true
and loving wife, woman finding all
her happiness in the four words of her
empire of home.

Each manly lip held back swear

Wealth Does Not Buy Good
Society.

". d.. Howells in Harper'S Monthly.
The contempt in which a%ristocracies
have always held commercialized society
is natural, aid it is natural that such Il
society should always try to escape from
itself by reyerting to the Ideals of arts
tocracy; this was the way of CONNER
cialized society in Venice and in Flor
ence; but it is none the more dignifed
in New York for that reason. 1t is al
ways and everywhere amusing to see a
plutocracy trying to turn into an arts
tocracy, and this is what Mr.. McAllis-
ter shows us, with no apparent sense of
its comicality. These men who have
had no ideal but to get more and more
money, these women who have no ideal
but to spend more and more, are nee.
essarily ridiculous in the transforma-
ton act; but it Is not Mr.. McAllister
who has made them SO; he has merely
shown them so. He did not create Soc
iety; it created him; and if he is deplor-
able. society is to blame for him. II
society had known how to do something
besides dress and dine and dance, we
have no doubt he would have said SO;
that Is, he would have written a differ
ent book. But you cannot make some

The modern magazine may be taken
as embodying the best literature of the
world, as the magazine edition pays the
highest price to novelists, Scientists,
statesmen, soldiers, and even kings ana
princes, for the best they can furnish

magazine becomes an educating uilu-
ence in the family circle, whose impor-
lance cannot be over-estimated. The
children, as they grow up, are attracted
by its illustrations, and so come in time
to have a taste for reading. There is
always something that is new, some
thing that is strange, something that Is
