woMAN's TEARS, IDLE TEARS.

What has become Of woman's tears.
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor
lately remarked in the hearing of a wo-
man that he wondered what had be
come of all the crying members of her
sex. He said that he had not seen a
woman cry in some years and that. so
far as he could see. there are Just as
many things to cry over as there ever
were. and just as many women. He
did not object TO the absence of tears;
he only wondered about it,
This Thing has received attentions of
various kinds before now. 1t was first
noticed in the novels. The young wo-
man in modern fiction does not do
nearly SO much weeping as she used to
do. To be sure, sine has not always
so much excuse for it. When a young
lady was carried away by a fierce and
determined lover whom she did not
want, and told that unless she married
him at once her family and all her inn
mediate friends would be killed, there
was really a considerable excuse for
tears and swOOns ON her part. This
type Of heroine flOurished in the be-
ginning Of the present century. She
was followed by the heroine who cried
as a child does to get something she
wanted-and usually got it, it happen
ed not to be the moon or anything
equally un3tta1naDle.
Sometimes she was a young lady of
religious predictions and shed tears
over the sorrows of others. or over her
own religious sentiments. 1t has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery. heroine Of
THE Wide, Wide World" must have
shed at least five gallons, two quarts
and one pint Of tears in the course of |
her adventures in two volumes. But /
the young lady in the modern work of 4
fiction does not cry. If she is of a pas
sionate nature she now and then /
bursts into a storm of sobs, but she T
does not often do it, as old-fashioned |
people would say, before folks" She I
is more likely to preserve a calm and
more or less uncomprehended silence
type Of modern heroine is the
CHEEKY girl who endures al her tribula-
