Tesses of contemporary fiction. the old
fashioned woman seems 10 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 women is
really due. However varied their ans
wers may be, they show one thing, that
the old-fashioned woman lives in the
hearts of every one to-day. and that such
as she is invariably wanted for guide,
counselor. mother and wife. It is a. vim
dication of the ''womanly woman"
MRS. KENDALL'S VIEWS.
We are all lovely in somebody's eyes.
For instance, no matter how plain a
thing of beauty. Charles Dickens says
plain women always talk of their
brains" and quite right that they should.
If their brains are worth talking about.
He also says in one of his works, Eyes
may fade, hair fall of, cheeks Wither and
wrinkles come, but the touch of a beau
tiful hand never dies" The power Of
brain and the touch of a hand rise to my
mind at this moment, when 1 think of
that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS woman, George
Eliot When people first saw her she
struck them as being really plain, but
when she began TO talk, that opinion
changed
Her voice was ever low and sweet, an
exquisite thing in woman"
And George Eliots voice was low and
sweet-a most exquisite voice. Her words
were always well chosen. Whenever she
wished to impress you very much. she
would lay her hand on your arm or
shoulder. plainnesS vanished, and she
became in the eyes of those who loved
her. quite beautiful.
the people that regard us that make us
either beautiful of plain. If some one
wishes to take out and view us through
a pair of crystal spectaces, we shall
appear precisely as they see US.
If, on the contrary, they use pair of
oil hanNH NNnlD from
their own point of view, most of our
disagreeable traits appearing, even to
an exaggerated degree before them.
Every woman at some time or other in
her life has wished for a beautiful face,
but many have had to be content with
measures for everything have met
many beautiful women in my life, and 1
have only fault to find with them. They
do not cross 1.-THE bridge of years with
proper equanimity. They get little tr-
ritable, to put it mildly, when they first
discover that the Gentleman with the
Wings is bidding them good evening,
and that the Gentleman with the Scythe
is most anxious to make theireacquain-
lance. Now, the Gentleman with the Wings
treats us all more or less alike-in light
hearted and genial manner, touching
us sometimes with his golden arrow,
lightly and pleasantly, and is more or
less by our sides all the days of our lives.
But the Gentleman with the Scythe is a
very different person altogether He will
make our acquaintance whether we like
il or not, and he is a most peculiar person.
Some women, when they know he is COM
ing to knock at their door, hide themselves
in the cellar-placing cosmetics on their
faces and bangs on their heads-they re-
fuse TO admit him, and tell their butler
they are out. The weight of the scythe
this gentleman carries is heavy, and he
considers it his privilege to knock at
everybody's door when he chooses But
the clever, bright woman, knowing he is
coming, meets him on the threshold, say
ing: Come in, Mr. Time am very
pleased to see you'll How do you do?
WELCOMED was expecting you; pray
come in and rest d little. Let me relieve
you from some of your difficult duties"
This gentleman expands Immediately into
a beautiful smile, and seeing before him
a sensible-minded woman, touches her
forehead, her eyes and her hair with a
very gentle hand, and pays her only
short visit
These are the women who go over
1.-THE bridge of years" easily, and this is
the compensating measure that the AL
mighty Power has meted out. In every
country youth and beauty is worshipped,
but nowhere more than in America.
Some women tells us they wish to be
beautiful for the sake of their own sex
only. l do not believe them. Beauty is
given us certainly to please all. But,
nowadays, the young girl knows it will
buy her title, position, or anything else
she may most desire. To those who pos
sess il, 1 give my hearty congratulations.
Let them preserve it in purity and nobil-
ity, But the plain, homely woman need
not despair. They can still fall back
upon the intelligence of their brains, and
the respect of mankind, if they cannot
