The Bachelor Woman,

What is bachelor womanP Well, as
nearly as can make out, she is that wom-
an who, for sonlo cause, real or imaginary,
has undertaken the care of herself alone,
or of herself and one or more others, just
as the men we see all about us are doing.
1 don't think the lines are drawn around
us, however, just as they are around the
man whom we all call bachelor, " but
1t seems to be more term applied to us
simply in relation TO the public or bust
ness phase of our lives, and not at all, or
but very slightly, to the social and domes-
tic. For instance, the term is equally APP
piled to two friends of mine, and one is a
maiden of tender years, comparatively, and
the other is widow with five children in
her charge, all of whom she has provided
for since her husbands death, some Is
years ago. The one goes out each day to
O courtroom and takes down the words of
wisdom that are always flowing from our
learned lawyers and judges tongues, and
the other walks into the office Of weekly
journal and edits it's columns with a bright
perfection seldom excellcd. Yet / have
heard them both described as bachelor
women" and l think the reason must be
as 1 have said above-that this term ap-
plies almost exclusively to our public lives.

A Hindoo Comnarison.

An impression seems to prevail in west
ern countries that there is no love between
the Hindoo wife and husband. The truth
is, the Hindoo families are the happiest
in the world. The Hindoo woman, hav-
ing been tied to the lot of the man carly,
thinks only Of him. His happiness is her
happiness. She loves her husband devot-
eddy.
In western nations observe that the
man works from morning to late in the
night to earn money. He has no rest.
Who enjoys tho benefits of his money!
His wife. While he is struggling to get
the almighty dollar his wife is enjoying
the luxuries and the leisure it buys. II
sho cannot get the newest fashion of orna-
ments or clothing, she is often unhappy,
and consequently if the husband cannot
buy them he, too, is made unhappy.
Moreover, the women in America seem
to have greater liberty than the men. Thu

The Well Groomed Woman.

Have you ever noticed in gathering of
both sexes that 1t Is not the absolutely
beautiful girl or woman who attracts and
receives tho most attention, but it is she
who has that essentially well groomed
look about her indicative Of physical tidi-
ness and suggestive of more than ordinary
attention to the details of her toilet?
Nature may have endowed you with alb
Bolutely regular features, form divine
md voice soft and low, but il you let
your hair evidence carelessness of thought
in its keeping, and your hands, shapely
though they may be, are allowed to go un-
tidy, you might just as well be absolutely
ugly for all the genuine admiration that
you will receive. Daintiness counts more
in the long run than beauty The whole

with dark streak around her fair neck
and a dusty head of hair.

Berthollier did not deny the crime
but made the curious defense that he
