TYPES OF WOMANHOOD.

Paris reports London woman's club
called Five Foot Nine. AS the name in
dicates, the members must be all of that
height, with the additional qualifications
that they must all belong to the aristocracy
and be absolutely lovely.
1t has been shrewdly suspected from the
Gallo flavor of this announcement that its
authenticity can scarcely be traced further
than the differences from M. du Maurier's
drawings. From these, if he reports cor
rectlv, English girls are all exceptionally
tail, slender wasted, and with clear cut,
high-bred protiles.
From Mr.. Gibson's drawings the Ameri-
can girl too, is five foot miner, with a
slender waist exceptional breadth of shoul-
der, vigorous check bones and an express
sion of premature maturity remarkable ev-
en- in country of rapid growth like our
own. In hasty canvass of a large circle
of American women more or less known
the draftsman's favorite type seemed to
be almost as exceptional here as it would
be, for example in France.
The American girl as a type seems ade-
quately represented by neither the giant
ess nor the soubrette Francisco Ar
gonaut.

in room in an up town hotel, the bell

restlessly pacing the floor. An hour later
he sent off the following dispatch:-

How slowly the train seemed to move.
How Fred thought of gay little Nellie and
what had made her break off her engage

mean to him now; and was she happy
now. The more he thought the more
puzzled he became, until he reached the
door of her home. As it was opened he
heard Nellie's clear voice singing

THE TRAMP.

'Thank you, Miss, you are very good"
1t was only a tramp holding cup of
milk in his wasted hand
She stood at the dairy door taking plea

Have you no work to do?" she sked.
He shook his head
Il am sorry for you
Sorry, did you say-sorry for me-"
His hand trembled Back back he went
to childhood, a kiss and a mothers love-

cup was empty and the tramp went weari-

The weeks passed as months to the
wanderer, who scarce knew if to- day were

the rover's sadness, whose limbs no longer
ached with cold. But it was not only the

shade of some haystack, he saw face Of
charity and goodness.

Winter was at hand. A man wandered
here and there, through farms and villages
with head bowed low He did not notice
the leafless trees, nor did he miss the
robins song, for the face was before his
eyes and the voice was in his ears.
