Woman" real, true, sweet woman.
is one who lives for others; who lives
to make her dear ones happy, not AL
together by bestowing, but in a. thou-
sand little kind and thoughtful acts
who lives to find the sensitive points.
and not wound them, to find the weak
ones, and consider them. 1 know two
women who are my ideals of woman
hood. One has long since passed to
the bright beyond, gentle and child
like soul, who was so beautiful in
spirit that when she was brought into
contact with the world it's roughness
rolled Off like water, who was as pure
as the new fallen snow, whose char
acter as wife was an example to all
my mother. Her children could, in
deed, rise up and call her blest.
Some women are made for a home
life, some for workers in the busy
world, and the latter in Drawing its
hustle and temptations long for but
never reach the restful goal.
But even in the world there are a
thousand opportunities for the i'm
press of woman's gentleness, and
woman's proudest gifts-content and
the giving of pleasure to her sisters
who are less blessed in worldly pos
sessions, though rich in Gods. That
constitutes lovely woman!
so let us accept our lot-whatsoever
1t be-let us try to be content, to con-
trast our lives with the lives of others
and see how much we have that they
have not. This will make womanli.

women aim for-'1oveliness," and to
be the respected, honored, worshiped

A FAMOUS REFORMER.

The auld lang syne '1ady-woman" is
comparatively extinct with the present
generation. Earnest, thoughtful, pre-
possessing womanhood has been, in
fact, much the same from the begin
ming, as it will be to the end, yet we
can truthfully assert that the sister is
not step behind her brother in MAX
ing truly valuable progress for the
human family. Lovely woman" is
in truth not alone, by any means, to
be found in the new woman" of in
the past woman Lovely womanhood
has been lovely in ali conditions of the
past, present and will be in the future.
l am sure no greater perfection of
loneliness was attained in the sweet,
chaste girlhood of our own New Eng
land, or any other spot on earth, than
can be found among the average sweet
girlhood that is earnestly studying
along the various lines in our COL
leges of today. These girls are truely
lovely in character and mind. There

is a franknesS of manner, a self-poise
a beauty of personality that affects
every man and woman. God never
created more companionabie women
for wives, mothers and wise counsel
ors with men than these very girls
give promise of becoming. There are
examples of foolish weakness dis
played by girls of this generation, but
even they will compare favorably with
the New England seminary girls, who
laced themselves 70 the bed posts and
slept in their corsets in our mothers
or grandmothers' time.
Let any one give a glance at the Or
CARNATIONS and representative women
which have just formed the convention
held by the National Council of
Women in Washington The grand,
eloquent, Intellectual women who
! made their mark, and possibly lasting
! impression, did well, for which the
! whole nation has reason to be proud;
| but what of the earnest, plodding, ag-
, gressive workers who compose these
organizations, and WELD mighty power
in work and prayer behind the throne
of the leaders! The women who rend-
| er the grandest public service to the
race generally represent the most at
tractive, companionable home-makers,
wives and mothers. A diversity of
gifts is usually preferable in women,
as in men, to having one quality amount
! to genius to the exclusion of most
others.
! We cannot have too much of a good
| thing in mother-love. but we can hear
too much upon any special gospel truth
! to- the exclusion of others of equal i'm
portance. The attractions of the sweet.
| chaste virgin, sung by the roue, cou-
pied with a trumpeting of the import
Lance of increased mother-loye and
home training, have become wearisome.
1t is time for women to dilate upon the
duties and privileges of father-love to-
ward their own offspring. as fathers
and bachelors have assumed for SO long
period the privileges of teaching and
preaching at length concerning the
duties and privileges of womanhood
The time is fully ripe for women to
cease their humiliation of man, by as
signing to him his general mission as
! money-earner and financial provider
for himself and family.
We want the inalienab,e right of every
child satisfied with a reasonable
amount of companionship with its IA

FAMOUS DOCTOR,

Woman's loneliness is effected
through, first, her body; second, her
mind, and, third, her heart. When any
OF these three are beautiful, she is
lovely. When all are beautiful she
is as near perfection as anything on
earth can be. Mere beauty of body,
however, constitutes the least of her
attractions. Though it's power to at
tract is very great, it is Short-iived,
soon fades, and mans love for it
scarcely outlasts the hour of possess
sion.
Beauty of Northumberland brill
lancy-in time proves tiresome. its
charm passes away; then, too, the very
seeds of discord lie ready sown, and
they spring into life and choke the flow
ers of friendship and love as soon as
a man discovers her mental superior
ity.
Beauty of heart "endureth forever"
1t has been aptly said the most beauti-
full thing in the world is charity-char-
ity in its broad sense. Sympathy, ten
dernesS and love of heart of woman
illumine every line of her face with
their halo of beauty. They shine in her
eyes and are reflected in the sweet
tones of her voice. More than this.
The woman who is beautiful in heart
is generally healthy, and is always
gifted with a well-balanced mind The
calming effect of such temperament
on the bodily functions of it's possessor
| results in healthfulness. and good health
underlies real corporal beauty. The
WelI-balanced mind recognizes and
avoids excuses and dangers that
threaten the body, and adopts a ra-
| tional, wholesome mode of living.
The loveliest women are those who
| are tender, sympathetic, unseltish, no.
| bic and good Thank God for it. The
| world, and especially America, with
| many such a one is blest, or life would
| not be worth the living

such women, whose physical appear

in their presence.
Again, I have seen women with the
figure and the face of the Milonian

vile traits.

SAYS MRS. pAuLGRzN

The loveliest woman is she whose
large-heartedness makes her forget
herself.
She is magnetic because she is un-
selfish.
She is refined because she considers
others.
She has a pleasing expression be-
cause she is good
When in addition she is intelligent.
she becomes a leading force without
knowing it.
If God has given her talent, if she
is an original thinker, she is a factor
in the worlds progress, without being
assertive.
Thus men lean upon her for SYM
pathetic aid, where they might re-
fuse her leadership if she claimed it.
The inner soul alone can give that
grace and sweetness and indefinable
charm that makes woman womanly.

JANSEN VERY SERIOUS.

Lovableness is the test of loveliness.
Qualities of nature and elements of
character are its essential components.
Heart on her lips, and soul within
her eyes,
Soft as her cline, and sunny as her
Skies
L think Byron's couplet suggests
three prime attributes: Sincerity, gen
tleness and good nature
Sincerity is essential to lovabIeness.
for it is necessary to love- 1t is the
.bulwark of all true friendship. This
noblest of virtues finds the limit of its
worth when incarnate in woman, and
lifts her high towards the summit of

human loveliness. The many absurd
limitations Of polite society may &C
count for the silly affectations and
petty deceits peculiar to our sex. Nat
uralness is the highest art on the stage
in the real life of woman a quality
of peculiar and refreshing fascination.
At the time when "woman'S rights"
have come to mean mans as well, and
also the assumption of his occupations
and attire. it may be well to remember
that gentleness is woman's Unborn and
distinctive charm. Its absence weak,
ems and unsexes her; it's presence is
essential to her power and loneliness.
GentleneSs and modesty seem often
forgotten or despised by the shrill-
tongued clamorers for woman's
Emancipation accent on the man
who appeal to mans chivalry in one
breath and deny his existence in the
next. The age of chivalry is past
for them. No chevalier of old would

Good nature creates loneliness and
compels love. 1t is a source of song
and sunlight, joy and laughter More
potent and enduring than physical
charms or intellectual attachments. it
can transform ugliness into beauty
and make dullness impossible. At
some time and to some extent If is
found in every one. We may cultivate
neglect or kill it. Some have even
come to command it. These are thew
who have come to make life worth the
living and who have learned the secret
of it's happiness.
Without disparaging any of the at
tributes that compose the infinite
charms of feminine loneliness, it is nv
notion that the sufficient possession of
the qualities mentioned bestows if
upon every woman. My ideas are not
original, perhaps, not even "up to
date'-but is feminine loneliness really

The woman question" has become
one of the questions of the day. The
new generation of hysterical English
novelists has magnified it into an
Importance far beyond its deserts.
In it's crazes over the Trilbys and the
Tesses of contemporary fiction, the
old-fashioned woman seems to have
gone to the wall. 1t has been with
the hope Of bringing her forward
again that this query has been put
to a few famous people as to what
the charm Of woman is really due.
However varied their answers may
be, they show one thing, that the old
fashioned woman lives in the hearts
of every one today, and that such as
she is invariably wanted for guide,
counselor, mother and wife. 1t is a
vindication of the ''womanly wo

be required to do what we call out

support of those dependent upon her,
but the womanly quality is SO mani
