by her and melted away Ike cobWebs.
( Men had formerly claimed the right to
their wives purses, their persons and their
opinions. They had lost the two former,
and now the era of free opinion had
dawned. Women were to be citizens, not
chattels. They were to develop their
minds instead Of being servant to wood
en- cradle or a mere appendage to man.
They were to cultivate their own individ-
uAlity, to increase the horizon Of their In
terests, to do good and to save their souls,
so that the old epitaph in the churchyard,
"Here lie drowned II souls and one wom-
an, " might be an exploded anachronlsm.
Virtue now militant, no longer doing
woodwork, the souls of human beings
would be free to purify the world and to
defeat the sublogical consciousness Of men
that women must know none Of these
things. Teach women responsibility,
teach them to right their wrongs, and,
above all, be patient with their errors, for
"he who never made amistake never made
anything" That was mans whole duty.
Other speakers followed, but these stir
ring words were enough for me- had
felt the woman's influence and PERSONAL
ity, and whispered to Aunt Jane, who
was staring stolidly before her, Il will
ask for the suffrage too" do, my dear"
said Aunt Jane, land remember we had
1t once before the reform act of 1882"
So now, l, too, am an unsexed woman,
though l feel pretty much the same. 1
looked carefully at myself in the glass as
my maid brushed my hair that evening,
and l thought that, after all, the electors
would have an awfully good time of 1t in
the future, when pretty girl oonvinces
them of their mistakes and sells her kisses
as the price of their conversion. Women
are nothing If not thorough Even I really
feel an extraordinary new sense Of my own
Importance in the economy of nature, and
am firmly determined to take some elo-
cution lessons and learn how to speak as
prettily and convincingly as the ladies
who have wakened my soul within me and
taught me the lesson of life-Lady Violet

Cultivate q Back.

An ''air'' is the best endowmenta wom-
an may have. She may be rich, hut q fail
ure in appearance. She may be given q
face like an houri's, but If she hasn't an
"air" she isn't a complete success.
One important feature Of an "alr" Is q
"back." A "back" is within reach Of al
most any woman. When you have learned
how to stand, every morning after your
bath take the correct standing position. II
you have chest weights, use those. If not,
throw the shoulders firmly back till the
blades almost meet Do that a number Of
times. Then put them we'll back, draw
deep, full breath and make the rotary mo-
tion with the shoulder joint that is made
in rowing. Repeat this whole programme
@ dozen times.
Preserve the correct position of the
knees, legs, back and shoulders when
walking and remember to think while you
are walking and draw deep, long breaths
very often. Persist in this, and you will
be surprised to see the change in the shape
Of your back. Instead of padding the top
Of the backs Of your dress because the
curves are low down even with the bust
line, your dressmaker will be compelled to
omit it and fit the backs of your dresses to
give you more breathing space.
You will be on the road to acquiring
that fine, shapely back which is the reward
of women who spend dollars in gymnasi
inns and swimming baths to acquire 1t.
Insist, moreover, that your dressmaker
shall give you room across tho top Of the
backs Of your dresses. If you do this, your
waist will seem more slender by contrast.

Table MonOtonK.

Do not let any dish come on the table
too often. The principal reason for which
the dessert course is often looked upon as u
tedious one is that 1t is generally SO mo.
notonous. The little dish filed day after
day with the same kind Of Crystallized
fruit, for instance, fully justifles the re-

1t to his neighbor, assured her that ut
