''I will make man an helpmeet for him. p
Gen. H., 49,
In the wisdom Of Almighty God we
are made male and female. Man was
first made; then woman.
You may object to the simple, unro-
mantle story Of the second. creation as
you find it in Genesis. You will admit
it is very difficult to write anything
better, or truer to facts.
The woman was made, not from
mans head, that she should reign over
him, nor from his feet that she should
be subject to him, but from his side,
that in all respects she should be equal
and helpmeet. Now, dismissing all
such thing as foolish sentiment, which
play such a part in the speeches Of
latter dinner when woman is pro-
posed as the toast, and poetic flights
which he who makes verse takes with
out stint, and unreasonable fancies
which women Of the holder sort indulge
when speaking Of their rights, dis
missing, Of course, any such thoughts
as the vulgar and debased indulge the
moment they think of our theme, let
us sensible men, under the eye of God
reason a few moments about this great
creation Of His. Woman-neXt to God
we are indebted to her for giving US
life, then for making it worth having
Contact with a good, high-minded
woman is a good thing for any man.
He is not true to his real nature who
will ever treat a woman with anything
but the profoundest respect; and she is
something less than true woman
who cannot inspire and is not careful
to enforce this. We are not to for
get that God made woman to be a
helpmeet for man. This is her first
and her foremost function. If circum-
stances compel her to be independent
to secure her own livelihood, to support
herself or to provide it for others,
this is abnormal. The normal condi-
ton Of an adult woman is to be mans
helpmeet. Her nature impels her, and
God intends her, to be a wife and
mother. In these capacities her truest
self finds readiest, compIetest adoption
to it's sphere. A woman may never be
married. She may never enjoy the
pleasures nor have to endure the
pains Of maternity. God may give her
other work to do
But to the majority of women wife

1t Is a difficult concession for a critic
to make, but, after all, the central
idea of Marie Corellis latest book.
1.-The Mighty Atom" is not a very bad
one. The writer sets out to depict the
difficulty of bringing up a thoughtful
loving child as an agnostic. If you be-
long to the lowest orders of society
your children can grow up irreligious
quite easily and naturally, but if YOU
are a shining light in the intellectual
world, with a good ancestry behind
you, it is quite possible that your
offspring will have hereditary religious
leanings which are difficult to Grad
icate. And if they are clear-headed
and logical they will put their fing-
ers upon the weak spots in your phil
oSophy quite as unerringly as do in
fants brought UP in wholly
different school Of thought. To
point out the theological inaccura-
cies of its elders, indeed, seems to be
one of the principal functions of the
child
So far one can 60 with the author
of THE Mighty Atom and pronounce
her subject an interesting one. Her
manner of treating it, however. is So
appallingly primitive that one vainly
wishes the theme might have fallen
into the hands Of a writer who can
speak without shriel1ing. Lionel the
childish hero of the book, is a mod
ernized Paul Dombey, whose sufferings
under the examining system softens
even the heart Of his crammer, Prof.
Cadman-Gore. He has fiendish faith
er, a mother who elopes with another
man, and he thinks a great deal about
the fortuitous concurrence of atoms,
which caused the universe, and the use
lessness Of an incomprehensible exist
ence, and comes to the conclusion that
he does not wish to grow up to be a
man If he can give no reason for being
one. In the absence of satisfactory
reasons for living he hangs himself
with blue silk scarf embroidered in
daisies-and SO gets well rid Of this
puZzling world
While Miss Corelli's style is admir-
ably adapted to make converts to her
opponents side, the fact remains that

ever men should forget themselves and the
respect they owe to women, and by their
powers reduce her to a level lower than this
1 have described, a level every good woman
may reach, a level designed for her by her
Maker.
Where a woman sins she sins through
love. Her very bloom becomes her destroyer;
seeking sinfully to please, she still seeks to
please. Her weakness is her love of serv-
ice. Men are the stronger They sin through
lust. They are impelled by a love of self
qualification of the worst carnal kind, while
women in the first instance of fall, combine
devotion with their crime. The errors Of
woman spring, almost always. from their
faith and their confidence in man.
Love is of mans life a thing apart; It's
woman's whole existence"
Young gentlemen, be men, and admirers Of
women. Be true to your mothers loyal to
your sisters, faithful to your sweethearts and
manly in your conduct toward, and treatment
of, any that bear the name of woman. Even
to the erring woman, be tender. Reserve
your hatred for the villain who ruined her,
or the villains who have since abused her.
Speak not slightly Of those feminine DISPOSE
lions that may appear to you weak, but would
make you stronger did you but possess them.
Let others say what they will, act as they
will, you stand out like man. and be tender
and courteous and loyal and pure in all your
relations with woman. Nothing next to the
love of Cod which ought to be the law Of
your life, is more important to the true devel-
opment of your character and more conducive
to your permanent success than your right
estimate and devoted love of pure good
woman. Most of their faults women owe to
men. For most of our virtues, we men are In,
debted to women.

almost invariably worn with dress
coats, being, Of course, double breasted
and well rounded. A double or single
braid is worn down the trousers leg.
Next in order comes the frock coat
The frock coat comes more and more
into prominence. "" In. London the
Johnnies wear nothing else. Bond
street, Piccadilly, st. James street in
the park. you see absolutely nothing
but frock coats. The long-tailed cut
away coat is decidedly less in vogue.
1t depends a great deal for it's beauty
and its fitness on the contour Of the
wearer Neither Of these coats is now
made with very long tails.
Letting these formal and dressy coats
go overheard, we come at once to the
always desirable, fashionable sack
coats, which are usually known in New
York as business suits. There Is no
appreciable difference this year in sack
coats from any other year. They are
cut to be easily worn and comfortable
garments. They are made as usual
with three buttons, showing a con-
siderable amount Of shirt bosom and
fitting rather closely to the figure.
The latest fad Is to give these coats,
as well as the cutaway coats, a pointed
lapel, which upon tall and stout men
looks very well. The old fashioned idea
Of the square lapel, however, holds it's
own, and the points are less seen in
coats than last year. The double
breasted sack will be as much in vogue
as ever. It Is the most convenient kind
Of coat in summer, when men do not
| feel like wearing waistcoats, and made
without lining is cool and comfortable
The so-called Tuxedo coat is now made
without the rolling collar, but with a
pointed lapel, like the dres suit, covered
with satin to the edge.
Each man must dress his throat as
best becomes him. A high masher
collar on short, thick-throate
chappie would Of course be absurd, as
would low lying collar on a skinny
necked man. There is happily an inf
mite variety of collars today which will
properly cover the neck and make any
man look respectable and present
able. OF course long-throated dude
will stick to his London pattern Of the
highest standing collar, with bent cor
ners which, after all, seems to be the
most impressive and correct for his
style Of beauty. The stand UP, turn

AS for neckties. the dude can roam
over an endles variety Of patterns.
1t is no longer fashionable to wear a
long folding tie, with a bejeweled pin,
except on state occasions. For the
coming spring and summer everything
tends toward highly colored shirt front
and bowknot tie Of many colors,
made to look Aas much as possible like
the wings ola butterfly. These ties
are made Of soft silk, satin or highly
colored linen to match the shirts
The prevailing fashion in hats this
spring Is an almost perfectly straight
crown and very moderate rim. In pot
hats the same conservative fashion
prevails. The mode for straw hats
this summer will repudiate the exag-
gerated rims of last season and come
back to reasonable and much smaller
brims.

naivete of this, which is so delightful
in art, is a little self-conscious in lit

NAL of st. Peter" where Peter slips
into the palace kitchen, and, sitting
down before the fire, looks up at pic

volume, testifies.
If rre-de-la-Barraque," by Louis
Delattre, is at all representative OF

vigorous and direct than Eekhoud him

finer power of selection. The story is
one of the best in collection which is
we'll calculated to excite interest in the
work of the young Belgian writers.

The Comedy of Cecilia" is played
upon tiny stage and with few actors,
but it is one of the most finely finished
and artistic pieces of literature which
has been offered to novel-readers for
many weary day. BY her choice of
title, the writer has escaped the onlv
criticism which could be offered of
her work. We grant at once certain
concessions to the writer of comedy
which would be denied to the realistic
novelist, and while two such abso-
1utely wooden, obstinate, WelI-inten
toned characters as Phillip and George
are strain upon the readers magma
ton, he will be willing to concede their
possibility, since without them moor
Cecilia's tragic little comedy would be
non-eXlstent. In realistic novel. too
the success Of Cecilia's pronounce
ment would be clouded by provisions
of the practical difficulties besetting If
but to q comedy there could not be a
more complete and satisfactory con-
clusion. The whole book is delicious
and the skill which the writer DISPLAYS
In making her story enough lifelike to
keep us fervently interested in her
heroine's fate, and yet in eliminating
life sufficiently to reconcile US to an
ending which is not of life, but of art,
is akin to the diabolic cleverness some
times shown by Henry James. Lest
this statement prejudice against "Ce-
ella" those readers who feel that they
ought to like Mr.. James, but do not
do it, we hasten to add that this little
tale contains much more action than
James is wont to allow, and while it is
enough like him to please his admirers,
the resemblance is not one which his
detractors would recognize.

Messrs. Stone and Kimball have so
accustomed the reader who picks up q
volume put forth by them to expect
distinct sensations of some sort-fre-
quently pleasurable-that it is a dis
appointment to be obliged to pronounce

There are clever touches here and
there, but they are not frequent enough
to justify the existence of an entire
book. A novel requires more than
half a dozen moderately good phrases
to float it. On the other hand, the
book has not faults enough to sink it,

In abandoning the low life of East
London. where his chosen subjects
were found for some years, Mr.. George
Glssing has done WELL At present he
seems to present the unusual spectacle
OF novelist who is actually developing
rather than deteriorating before the
public eye. In Sleeping Fires" his
latest story, he chooses a theme which
is unusual and difficult to handle. If
the plot were stated badly in few
words the effect would be to make
the reader suppose that the story was
necessarily a repellant and distasteful
one. Nothing could be further from
the truth. There is a quiet dignity
and simplicity about the manner of the
book which commands respect for the
author and whatever theme he may
choose. Without striving for or at
tanning the highest point of view &C
cesslble to novelist (Which means
that he does not tell his story just
as George Eliot or Mrs. Ward would
have done), the air of the uplands,
nevertheless, makes itself felt in his
writing.

would be glad to meet the directors of the
association ior the purpose of arranging
satisfactory solution of the directory
