It ia n curious Inconsistency Of our
nature that we women who appreciate
SO highly the small happinesses OF life
when we get them, should be so much
slower than men to bestow them.
II Is not nice OF us. 1t gives men
chance to say things we do not like TO
hear but II Is nevertheless a fact that
few OF us will do the little kind act for
sister woman with the same alacrity
that would be observed n man were
involved. Who ever heard OF the
clergyman's sister or the doctors

little meaningless but pleasant atten-
lions which are showered upon tho

Modern women are seeking to ac-
quire fame by pursuing the study OF
art and OF letters. They think to achieve
greatness for themselves. and In many
instances their ambition has wider
and nobler meaning. 1t is said Of
Michael Angelo that he wept because
he could not inspire his statue with
he, and many artists before and since
his day have felt despair in the con-
temptation Of their work because the
canvass breathed no life and the
Chaste marble image was cold and ir-
responsible In every mothers arms
there has been laid a helpless babe.

soul that she can mould as she chooses.
