The Lachrymose Woman.

Why is it that woman's tears lie so
periously near the surface, and why
will she call down upon herself the
ridicule and sometimes even the terror
of man by giving way to lachrymose
outbursts? Douglas Jerrold says, Gym
ically: What women would do if
they could not cry, nobody knows.
What poor defenseless creatures they
would bel" When q woman weeps be-
cause she is in sorrow nobody blames
her. Then her tears are sacred even
to SOOTHING man. But when woman
cries in self-defense because she is
worsted in an argument, or be-
cause she is angry, she lowers
her dignity and resorts to baby
ish measures. 1t is no wonder
then that her brother man smiles
scornfully, and retires from the con-
test, resolving never again to argue
with woman. When Il boy he was
taught that in fighting he was to
CHOOSE fellow his own size" He
feels that he has not done this, and
despises himself accordingly, while at
the same time he cherishes grudge
against the woman who, after enter
ing into discussion with alacrity.
witbdraws in tears. He feels that she
is ungenerous in thus challenging him
to friendly combat and then causing
him to appear in the light of brutal
bully. The new woman must learn
to control her fearful tendencies. -

AMERICAN GIRLS IN PARIS.

scmctfmeS They have to Teach Fr0nCns
men Good Manners.
A Baltimorean writes from Paris
that, as rule, the sailor hat is the
badge and protection OF our American
girls in the French capital. The Anglo-
Saxon "Mees" can come and 90 and do
as she pleases in this raughty city,
with little fear of molestation. 1t is a
high and well-merited tribute to the
racial character. Once in awhile, how.
ever. an inexperienced Frenchman
finds the frank, honest eyes and the
sweet faces of our young women ire
sistible, or fails to recognize the Amer
lean queen, and attempts a little fa-
miliarity. He generally discovers his
error, and sometimes meets with a
shock that makes his head ache.
One of our pretty Chicago girls was
walking with friend the other oven.

Her companion stopped to make pur.
chase in one of the little shops, and
she sauntered slowly along. Just then
French student. in high hat and
flowing locks, approached from behind,
and, swinging his cane, tipped her hat
over her dainty nose as mark of his
brotherly interest. That is, he tried
to do so, but the hatpins held it firmly,
the only result being that they gave
her painful scratch. AS he passed
her with an ingratiating smile upon
his nasty face, he was astonished 20

thoroughly mad" and her pocket
book, well loaded with copper sous,
made an admirable sandbag in righte-
Gus cause. He turned upon her, and,
in his rage, quite forgetting French
politeness, slapped her, in turn, across
the face. Before he could launch a
second "gife" he had one of his eyes
effectively closed by another blow
from the purse and the vigorous little
arm behind it. He waited for no
more, but tumbled all over himself
and his demoralized hat in trying to
get away from the tiny tigress.
Two of my pupils tell me of little
experience of a similar sort which oc-

late when they left the studio, and as
they hurried home through the gath
ering twilight they noticed we'll

paid but slight attention until after
aeveral turns in the winding streets
they found him still at their heels.
In the darker PARTON of the way

stood very little and increased their
speed, making no reply. Emboldened
by their frightened silence, he now
pressed closer and laid his hand upon
the arm of one. The next moment he
was lying full length in the gutter.
The young amazon says that she does
not know how she did it, but she just
"hit him" somewhere and over he
went. Her companion was very proud
of this deed of valor, and the next day
a certain slender sculptures from the
western wilds was the heroine of the
studio.

reputation our unapproachable Dianas
are looked upon with respectful inter-
