Just been revived. No new arguments for
Its abolition have been advanced however
II has been stated countless numbers of
times that it is unhealthy, that it is un-
classic, that it reduces every figure to
the same general outline, but in the mean
time the corset wearers move on serenely
"a lot of blooming idiots" perhaps. but
the bloom is there, and it is the bloom of
health, and the corset makers increase
and multiply in the land; and the cru
saders, like many reformer on. higher
moral grounds, have nothing but the
echo OF their own empty protests for

woman who wants abolish the corset
could be inquired into, ten to one she
would prove to be some classicly put up
creature, who signs for an opportunity
to prove her own natural superiority
to steel and whalebone.
While it is probably true, says Ward
McAllister in the New York World, that
each nation has its own ideal of fem
mime beauty, yet l think we American
men are ready to acknowledge a really

in England l was greatly surprised to see
so few fine-looking women. though En-
glishmen claim superiority for their
country in this respect. Possibly I was
unfortunate in not happening to meet
them, though ! kept a keen lookout, both
on the streets, in the theaters and at
other places where fashionable persons
assembled During all the time 1 was
abroad / saw very few beautiful women,
but since my return 1 have been much
more fortunate.
Americans shOuld congratulate them
selves in possessing not only women who
are of a superior type of beauty to
those in any part Of the world, but also
on account of the endless varieties in
cluded in this type. There is a sameness
in the appearance Of English women
which soon grows tiresome to the eye
In America, on the other hand, owing to
a salutary mixture of the races there
are all styles of feminine beauty, though
constituting one general class. Those
who attended the horse show must have
been impressed with this, and it has been
conspicuous also at the exhibition of por-
traits at the National Academy of De-
sign.

When the SUabian girls wish to ascer-
tain which of them win first become a
wife lot of them form a circle and place
therein a blindfolded gander. The one to
whom the gander wanders first in his
helpless sightlessness will first be a bride
OF course, this generation does not go
about it in that deliberate fashion, and So
cial circles are not formed with any idea
of deluding blinded men to commit any
irreparable step, but there is something
peculiarly pathetic about that blindfolded
gander-silliest of birds. / seem to have
seen so many of them in my day, though
of course, nobody out of Suabia ever
really did.
Robert ]. Burdette writes as follows in
the New York Express, of the ideal wife;
Oh. 1.-The ideal wife"-that is, the mans
ideal-is as a rule, the creation of his own
intense masculine selfshness The best
picture of the ideal wife" l have ever

chapter XXI, and it is the mans ideal all

T,emuelii but it is 1.-THE prophecy that his
mother taught him" So it comes from a

willingly with her hands-she bringeth her
food"-and this too, quite likely-"from
