cotics by English Women.
The discussion OF the habit OF drinking by
women In England has emphasized the truth
which has been known and hintod at by tho
press FOR some time. that drunkenness Is on
the increase among all classes of women in
England. Primarily 1t is the daily drinking OF
ale and wines at meals that works havoc with
the homes of England and transforms its
beautiful and delicat"ly com pleXionod maid
enst to stout. coarsAan md rod-facedm utrons. But
nthe urper and middl. classes almost as much
mischief, is done by indulgence in narcotics
and medicated stinulants. All fashionable
doctors know how widespread is tho evil. and
tradesmen coulh %furnisl, particulars. scarcely
less startling Than those relating to II lower
class socially which come from missionaries
and police court officials. OF the drunkenness
thai, prevails among women who never enter n
public house aud arc never seen outside their
own houses In II state of intoyication. DR.. Nor
man, Kerr has stated that some ladies who
hahitunte themselves to the use OF alcohol
and narcotics can take startling quantities Of
opium. choral or brandy in II day.

The ideal woman OF every man is the
"womanly woman" The ideal man Of every
woman is the manly man." And the en-
preston a womanly woman means pretty
much the same to every man who uses
it. according to Ha,per's Baza,. Just as
the manly man OF one woman Xpr sses
a certain combination OF qualities well
known to every other woman. Tho mans
womauly woman is gentle. amiable. quiet. and
domestic. She loves to sit ,uponn low. chair
and hem things. with the lamp light falling
over her hair. 1t is unnecessary to say
that although in theory this Is the sort OF
choose ono entirely her !opposite. she does
not exist in large quantities, which is lucky,
as she might provo dreadfully insipid If she
did. The woman's manly man means a man
strong. brave. aud daring. He must perform
easily bold deeds which she dare not attempt.
She likes thnt-in dreams, In actual life she
may nnd that a man neither daring nor bold
has satisfactory and endearing qualities which
make him more after hor heart than tho ideal
OF her dreams could ever be. We are not ali
alike. thank heaven
