THE NEW ORDER OF FRIEND.
SHIP.

That women have no talent for friend.
ship is among those statements that have
grown to be accepted and exchanged
like small currency In literature and
conversation.
The opinion, however, seems to be less
the result OF widely extended observe
ton than Of the compact and epigram-
matte form In which 1t has been ex.
pressed by the various sages and philos-
ophers who have done woman the honor
to write frequently. knowingly, and in an
accomplished manner about her.
The friendship Of two women is al
ways coalition against third" writes
Alphonse Karr.
81 never knew tolsrable woman to
have friend Of her own SEX" declares
Dean Swift.
Eugene do Guerin exclaims, "Orestes
and Pylades have no sisters"
The summary, in brief, seems to be,
that friendship with men is impossible,
because nature, in making her a woman,
made her also siren ; and that friend
ship with a woman is unlikely. because
women, like other actors on the same
stage. are rivals rather than allies. Very
pretty girls have no friends OF their own
sex. and they even find it hard to get an.
other girl to keep them company" writes
Schopenhauer. This La Bruyere but
partially affsrms. when he states that
men are the occasion OF women's dislike
to one another; and Shakspere init
mates, in reporting the conversation Of
"those two lovely bodies on one stem."
Hernia and Helena, conversation that
seems to sud in breach Of the peace az
we'll az Of their intimacy.
And although Fanny Squeers and Ma
tilda Price. after their quarrel about
Nicholas Nickleby, were clssped in each
others arms, "the fifty.second time the
impressive ceremony had taken place in
a twelvemonth," the breach was finally
made.
1t is because Of this widespread belief
and confident and clever assertion Of it,
that the few historic friendships of wo-
men have been 90 much written about
and extolled. The friendships OF Med
au.e de Stael and Madame Swetchine for
Madame Recamier are among tho best
examples OF friendship among women.
Of this the two literary ladies have left
abundant proof in their letters, although
az some one has remarked, 'Juliette was
always singularly reticent concerning her
eide Of these friendships"
Women have the reputation Of placing
friendship below love, depreciating it 10
misunderstanding it. Alphonse Karr
relates that lady being compelled to re-.
fuse an offer Of marriage. offered her
friendship instead.
"Oh, no. madame" the lover replied.
IL love you. want to marry you. It
10 enough. But to be my friend I must
know you. ! must respect you; We
must have congenial tastes. One does
not take friend hastily. Oh. no. mad
anne. Friendship is another thing
