pleasing, and when she takes a few dancing
steps she delights the gallery critic
by her hghtness and the fact that sue
has no angles. Many of the women Of the
stage have extremely beautiful figures,
many more are, like thOsA off it, too fat or
too thin. and very often where they might
use lambs wool advantageously they apply
too much, or do not know how to use it
correctly. Who OF US has not seen a chorus
where symmetry was exhibited by a series
Of Jumps, presumably fat, and then spaces
as fiat as the desert Of Sahara!
THE FASHIONABLE woMAN's FORM.
The woman who doesn't know how to
make herself look better by the dispositi on
of her belongings had much better not at
tempt to do anything but let long, lank nat
ure announce itself. Among the fashion
able set, good figures are the exception
rather than the rule, most Of the women
being too fat OF course this does not
apply TO the young girls, but they. like
all American young girls, in the north, are
apt to be at the other extreme,
and that is, little scrawny. We are OF so
many nationalities that it Is amusing to
hear Of woman who traces her fine figure
TO the different blood she inherits. She SAYS:
- got my handsome neck aud arms from
my English grandmother, my hips from my
French grandmother, my clear pure skin
from an Irish grandfather, and its smooth
ness from a Spanish one. The smallness of
my feet and hands l inherit from my
mother, who is an American, and my
quickness in solving all this from my faith
er, who is an American politician, born in
Ireland"
A woMAN's POLITICS.
Jumping from curves to politics, should
like to say that | am in training for the next
presidential election. This may mean not
much TO most people, but it means a great
deal to me, because my political career has
been varied. At very early age, aud under
the tuition of Quaker grandfather, was
an old line whig; later on, when l learned
| TO read, became an ardent follower Of
Charles Stuart, and was q royalist from
my backbone. Evidently, l hadn't much
backbone, for after course Of French his
| tory, l became Bonapartist. During the
Franco-German war l spent three DAYS
with some German friends, and espoused
| that side, returning home singing THE
Watch on the Rhine;" as the family were
opposed to this | changed my conviction,
and the Marsellaise was thumped on the
piano, and tried to make il sound digni-
fed on the banjo. After that took posi-
tive democratic stand.
woMAN's IDEA OF PROTECTION.
Now, by the advice of some'man, who
thought that a woman ought to know some
thing, L have been reading about the tariff
| question, and don't know what l am.
| don't know whether am believer in pro-
lection or whether l am q free trader. l
| like the namo protection much better than
| | like that of free trade, because protection
| suggests that of some one taking care of
you, which the other don't. But if
| you could get things in without having
| to pay any duty on them, you lose
the pleasure of smuggling; though ii the
duty were too high and you were caught,
you would have to give up all your duds. /
| know what do believe in-I believe in
home industries. and if we Americau women
had half the feeling on the subject the En-
lish women have we would be making the
finest fabrics in the world here When the
engagement of that unhappy Princess VIC
| toria was announced, Immediately the
Countess Of Zerland begun to take up a
subscription in Ireland to buy her
a wedding present. Was that subscrp-
ton going to buy her a place of jewelry
in London or Paris? Certainly not. 1t was
to be spent In Ireland; it was to buy for her
the finest piece Of Irish lace that the Irish
lacemakers could weave. Another sub
| scription, taken up either In Manchester or
Birmingham. was to buy her brocade for
one OF her wedding gowns. the design to be
drawn by an English artist and the silk TO
be woven by English weavers Now, that
is what call patriotism, and that il what
I call encouraging home industry.
Bah WAKES PATRIOTIC.
