the man of the moment is not Of much
account, says Sarah Grand The instinct
Of natural selection which inclined her
first Of all to set him aside for his fab
biness is strengthened now by her
knowledge Of his character She knows
him better than her parents do, and in
proportion as she knows him she finds
less and less reason tt respect him. The
girls discuss him with each other and
with younger married women, and out
Of their discussion is arising strong
distaste for him.

mutilated remains of man, F" coupled
with the names Of Tom Jones and Rod

pressions Of it, And it is in vain for the
man of the moment when he marries to
hope to conceal the consequences of the
past from his wife by assuming high
ly refined objection to allowing" her
to read any book that would open her
eyes. Manners Of the new woman are
perfect. She in never aggressive, never
argumentative, but she understands the
art Of self defense and reads what she
pleases.

nourishing enough, and the fact speaks
for itself in these islanders The white
