About Society WON EN-.

The society woman is creature al
ways much abused. Her life holds a
Fascination for young girls, though the
woman herself is held up in terms of
strong disapproval by fond mammas.
She is always eyed askance and her
actions talked of with wise shakings of
the head by the sturdy, prim deacon of
the church. But she can attract them
all to her shriue in spite of disapproval.
In fact, society leaders are among the
most wonderful women in the world,
though they ale usually accounted
among the idle and worthless butterflies
of life.
A writer in a recent issue of a maya
zine for women says of them that their
extrava rant little whlms and likings give
20 the great army Of workers impetus in
designing and perfecting the various
handicrlfts and employment in carrying
out the designs.
But the remarkable thing about this
species Of woman is, not what she wears,
or what she does, but what she remem.
berS! In the first place, she invariably
rememb rs your name and your hobby,
If you have one; asks after your last
book, or picture, or poem; your sick ba-
by yeur govt, or your new bonnet or
butler. She doesn't care pin about it,
but it Il ttters you, and you like it.

SOutherners Slandering the South.
Is We can understand how easy it is for
the people of the North, with all their
prejudices against the South to speak
evil of this secti on, but it is matter of
surprise, to be mingled with regret, that
any OF our own people should be willing
to lend themse Ives t" the policy of the
Republican party to SANDER and de-
nounce the South for political pur-
poses.
Yet there are those in this section who
are quite as ready to join in the old cry
OF Southern outrages" as the most ig-
norant and prejuiced South-hatels at the
North.
OF course it is all for political effect.
bnt it is strange that anybody can be
found in the South mean enough and I'M
principled enough to join in this cry of
salnder against their own section and
people.
At Minneapolis last week the follow
ing hand-bill was distributed in the Re-
publican conventions:
