The Insurrection of Women.

| In October 1889. took place one of the
most dramatic events of the French
revolution. the instruction OF women.
Already the discomfort of the nation
was gathering, like a swollen torrent,
growing more destructive at each at

popular irritation was ready TO fare up

cause was not long in coming. The

young officers, excited by wine, music
and the presence of royalty, trampled

Bourbon cockade.
The news of this foolish scene, which
was quickly reported in Paris, outrag-

brought to the verge of starvation by
the miserable harvest. The court could

THE MEN WHOM

Many people have at different times

Some women. though they are in
very decided minority among their sex.
Judge a man by his looks. They want
what they call fine looking fellow
for husband. with a kind Of ethereal
face and an AdouiSlike form and coun-

for beauty are more often deceived IN
the long run than are the men who on
the opposite side. do the same for the

Most women Ike generous men-rnen
who will spend their money. their time,
their powers Of any kind. in gratifying
the various whimS OF their feminine
friends. But the generous man. though
he may gain the favor OF many ladies
by his generosity. is not always an ideal
lover, as many have found out before
today
1t has been well said that IL is rather

Ell that most of cur lady friends must

that admiration very often does not

admire the knowledge and cIeverness Of
the intellectual man, they too often

about by that gentleman. which makes
them feel so very inferior. and every
body knows that no woman ever yet

ABOUT GLOVES.

In buying gloves there are more i'm
portant considerations than their color
and the number of the buttons Black
gloves are generally less elastic than
white or colOred ones, and cheap grades
are dear at any price. Dressed kid
usually retains its freshness longer and
is more durable than suede. The best
and most serviceable kid is soft. yield
ing and elastic. a glove so small that
it cramps the hand and prevents grace
Of motion gives poor service. Short
fingered gloves are ugly and certain IL
break soon between the fingers, il not al
their tips. The way in which a glove is
first drawn on and shaped to the hand
has much to do with both its beauty
and durability.
Unless you have ample time do not
have them fitted at the shops. but al
leisure draw them on as here recon-
mended, and. if possible. wear them
half an hour without closing the fin
gers. In buttoning a glove the great
est strain comes upon the first button,
so before attempting To fasten this but
ton the others. commencing with the
second one, lastly the first.
Never button one glove with the fin
gers of a gloved hand. Do not begin al
the tips of the fingers to pull them off.
Turn back the wrists and draw them
off inside out. but on TO consideration
leave them in this shape or roll them.
Turn them right side out. smooth
lengthwise and put away by them
selves with a strip Of canton flannel
under and between them.
To mend a tear. buttonhole stitch
closely around the edges once or twice
as the size of the rent may require and
then join the edges together. Save The
buttons from discarded gloves to re-
place lost ones. They often match per-
fectly.
