successfully than it IS to run a farm,

1t would soOn be found thai they needed

Athletics Of French omen.

The Sale NArmeS Feminine. as it is
called, which was recently opened in
Paris, has been followed by the opening
of a Cercle dEscrime DIES DANES, or La
dies Fencing club. This institution is
under the patronage of Nine. la Colo
nellie Derue, the COmtesse de Murat.
Nine. la Colonelle Rousset and others.
The chief professor is a woman whose
husband VAS formerly a master-at-arms
in a military school. The device of the
club is "Ludus Pro Froma," as the exer-
else of fencing is calculated to develop
special graces and beauties of the felni-
nine form. In no city is skating so gen
orally practiced as in Paris, for the arti-
fetal ice arenas afford more opportunity
for the sport than nature is inclined to
provide except in Canada. These artii-
clal ice surfaces are five or six inches
thick, very smooth and glistening, and
the air inside the pavilions is pleasantly
warmed with gas.
FrenChwOlnen, too, are devoted to BIZ
cycle riding and may be seen in their
jaunty short skirts every day in the park
riding, with or without Il groom in at
tendance, according to their rank. 1t
has been considered pertinent to criticise
the Frenchwoman as given over to vanity
and luxuriousneSs, but the more one be-
ONE acquainted with this dainty type
of %femininity the more one learns to re-
spect the little knack she has of accom-
plishing all that other women do so qui-
etly and gracefully and with so little
flourish of trumpets that no one knows
that she is doing anything at all. It is
the supreme cleverness of the Oma
that deceives us into believing her in
competent. Paris Letter.

An English writer calls attention to
the interesting change in the heroine of
the day. The simple ingenue Amelia
Sedley and her sisters have beer voted
tame and insipid and are dead and bur-
led. Becky Sharp and her host of I'M
worthy imitators, with their schemes and
their lies and their ultimate discontinue,
have Joined the great majority and vex
us no more. Nowadays it is the sphinx
who is the rage-the creature with I'M
fathomable eyes and large aspirations,
passionate impulses and pessimistic tend
~encies, a more or less happy combina-
ton of S~chopenhauer and Musset, with q
dash of Gyp's ~fippancy thrown in. She
is a complicated person whose most So
lent point, perhaps, is her absolute self
ishness. her cynical disregard for the feel
ings of other people.
According to the novelist, the great
feminine cry Of the age Is, Let me live
my life but somehow or other the girl
when she has a chance never seems to
20 forth and give proof positive Of this
Overweening genius which places her at
| such an unreasonable distance from her
commonplace surroundings. A story III

perhaps as Jenn'" June, said at the re-
cent meeting of Sorosis:
What are womanlv instincts? Arc
they alike in all women? Do all women
want to sit ut home by the fire? I~severy

and is not this staying at home instinct
in this generation the result of the habits

Before the patriarchal age there wasa
matriarChal age. when the women at
tended to AL the retail business of life.
We read in Proverbs how the woman
after she had gathered her maids togeth-
er and set them at their spinning, went
forth and considered the fields and pur-
chased them. And because Of her good
judgment she was accounted a crown of
glory to her husband. 1t was a woman
who organized the first squadron Of ships
and sent them out on a mercantile ven

the men were all warriors, and the wom-

Woman's Manifest Duty.

plores with commendable modesty its
wide notice. I'VE are just learners"
said one of its members, ''eager to under
stand Brooklyn's municipal affairs. Aft
err we know how to go to work and in
what way good can be accomplished we
hope to do something. just now we are

The club IS a strong and growing or

been increased to l1J for the first year,

it will prove an admirable ally to the

small villages, where the scheme of gov
eminent is simple, not half a dozen prob
ably of the women residents know the
duties or term Of serving Of the select
men or councilmen or whatever the desig-
nation may be of their particular town.
Every woman's club in these small
places. as is true in the larger ones,
should devote certain meetings through

ment of the place. Whether women gain
the right of suffrage or not, an intelligent
comprehension of methods of govern
ment is their manifest duty.-Her Point
