Miss Caxton is Junoesque. She is big.

that was after Jorley had been refused by
her. She is placid in lofty sort of way

WOMAN AND HER WAYS.

Siamese ladies chew betel nuts and lime
than Limburger cheese, though it is most de-
licious in taste.
Why is it that, though women have the care
OF children and know them best, the stories
children love most are written by men? Why
is there no female Grimm or Hans Christian
Andersen?
Villon's "Ballad of Dead Ladies' is gener-
ally conceded to be the finest piece OF verse
France produced during the middle ages
And il may be added that in the middle ages
and all other times the best verse men have
written at all has been written about women
Perhaps the finest thing a woman ever
did for worthless man was done by the
Douglas maiden who thrust her arm into the
staple and held the door until her arm broke
thar she might give James of Scotland time
TO escape from his murderers But the finest
things women do at all are apt to be done
out OF loyalty to worthless men. When they
get control Of a man who is worth something
they generally impose on his good nature.
In a recent address the Countess OF Aber-
deem, the wife of the Yiceroy of Canada,
pointed out that in Nova Scotia there is no
line of charitable and religious work in
which women are not largely active. This
applies throughout the civilized world as well
as in Nova Scotia. In all Protestant churches

they are hardly less active in the work Of the
Catholic Church. But for their work there
would not be religion enough in the world to
be worth mentioning.
All authorities agree that Mrs. Lincoln had
most unfortunate temper, due TO disease.
According 20 story having the high au-
thority OF Lincoln's law partner, Herndon,
she once scolded violently man who had
called at her house in Springfield to find Mr.
Lincoln. The man fed precipitately 10 es-
cape the storm, but having escaped it found
Lincoln in the center of a group of friends
and wrathfully demanded satisfaction. my
friend" said Lincoln, extending his hand
and speaking with a slow delberation which
characterized him, wouldn't you stand for a
few minutes what I have stood for so many
years." Then they shook hands.

The Change That the Exercise viii Accom-

The foremost swimming teacher of Paris
has been interviewed on the benefits of SWIM

girls-to learn swimming they would benefit
immensely by doing so. Except, of course,
those who are positively untitled physically to
do SO.
Then what thing is swimming for the
figure" continued mademoiselle. with a
glance at her own. showing indistinctly be-
meath the soft clinging folds of the peignoir.
1T is marvellous. l have young ladies come
TO meas a last resource, I suppose-with
figures rather those of boys than women. l
teach them to swim, perhaps show them a
few calisthenic movements to use after the
bath. What is the result? In few months
they have busts, they have hips, their con-
tours are round, not meagre. Their limbs are

before one of the large stores waiting
for madame TO come out, when who should

things worse he had an old lady with horrid
looking little dog inside. Papa stopped his
horse without asking the old lady's permits

Then he flew into passion.
He replied that owed him respect, that
he was my father. The old lady, during
this time, had opened the hack and was cry
ing out that she would miss her train. The
little dog was barking, the passers-by stopped
to listen and laugh. and in the midst of it all
the duchess came out 1.-THE store. Papa fled,

They met again often, and especially in the
vestibule of the dressmaker who clothed the
singer and the grande dame. And here is
where we find them this warm April afternoon
in 1890, upon which they held conversation,
which was particularly interesting and ami
mated

We got there at last. Madame said: Go

there half an hour talking 10 my little sister.
Then as she was going she put 100 frame bills
