I'd have have you buy and sell so; so give aims;
 Pray so: and. for the ordering your af- fairs,
 1 To sing them too: When you do dance, wish you
 A wave O the sea, that you might ever do i Nothing but that; move still, still so, and own
 No other function: Each your doing, l So singular in each particular, Crowns what you are doing in the present deeds
 That all your acts are queens. Men love women for many reasons, chief 1 ly because women women. It is the l appointed thing to do. If there be any l man who doesn't love the fair and gentle l rulers of the world he is in that particu- lar unnatural. and is not to be trusted; he is q suspicious character, no charac- ter at all. He is set against that loving influence which is most powerful to make men worthy of existence: therefore he is unworthy of mems confidence and of wom- ans mnistering smiles. For him there is place in the order of things happy or desirable. no voice in the councils of | life, no seat at the banquet-board of hap piness, no honors from any source. no children, no wife, no beloved. He shall remain in the solitudes of selfishness where no song shall reach him, no child's laugh | ter. no woman's companionship or trust l or kiss. There shall be for him no loving | friendships no fireside, no home, no place where any mortal shall receive him glad ly. His days shall be days of loneliness. his nights shall be nights of unrestful slumber. Flowers and birds, gardens and
 fields, sunlight and the stars shall have no tender story for him. He shall pass l broken thing without having known the | joy of loving and being loved; without | having possessed the most precious treas
 ures stored for men in the world, wom- | ans heart and woman's life and | woman's glorious love! Can such man be. Can there be any | man of any years who doesn't love to love 1 to see, to hear fair women! Can there be any man who doesn't love to hear of love, of women.
 Not every woman may have a lover lovers of her own, but she shall if she will It rests with herself. The moving why
 some one woman inspires many men to nobler lives born of the frenzy of mad de- votion may be left to each lover for an- swer, if power he have of answering The inspiration of 1t all is goodness of heart. gentleness, purity of spirit If a
 woman have not these virtues, though she
 seeem a goddess, she shall never know an honest lover She shall blossom a upas- flower, and fade forgotten; whilst across
 the lowered border of the lawn of life there laughs little lassie, freckeled and tawny maybe, at whose feet men fall cry | inc | femininity, sentleness, joyousness, chari- 1 tableness gratefulness loveableness. Mere beauty of face or form is of minor import | Physical ,attraetiveness is less worshipful l than spiritual qualities. The one pieases l the sense of sight, as beautiful pictures please; the others move the souls of men to adoration.
 There is not in the world good woman 1 who is not beautiful.
 There is not in the world beautiful | woman who is not good
 No woman can be beautiful unless she l be good; no woman can be good and not l be beautiful.
 There are women of nameless charms of person who wonder why women of fewer 1 physical gifts of nature than themselves wield wider influence and exert greater power over men. Abhorring introspection and not being given to woman's prayer, woman's wit fails to teach them why themselves. and perceiving not their own souls comprehend not the souls of other women
 Soul of woman! The most complex the most wondrous, and as guide and mentor to a world of virtue, the most diyineIv beautiful of all things created of the Master Men demand of women as one nric, of adoration that they keep their souls tidy. Sloyenliness of spirit is even aead- Tier than slovenliness of person or raj ment. The woman who sufferes her snIrit to run down at the heel is even more m
 lovable than she who is slatternly and
 bedraggled. Yet the one begets the other.
 the one is the other. If there be cracks in
 the stocking there are erannies in tbe
 soul. All lovely women are women of sou1-
 tidtness as well as tdiness of attire: and by soul-tidiness there is implied abundant sweetness and gentIeness and light ana Joy. The noble little maiden who admit ted that whilst she was not accounted pretty she was held to be sweet unwit tingiy and modestiy declared that the world regarded her as being positively beautiful. Men demand of women that they be tactful, considerate. generous, glad; and no self-respecting man ever yet loved any woman who was peevish, ill-oendtioned or mind nagging or fault-finding, whining or snapplng from habit Men do not love women who wear their spirits in curl.pa- pers, or their ankles in wrinkled hose Mens love and admiration and mere fancy alike for women are as sensitive in indelicacy lack of the refinements of puri ty and daintiness and sweetness, and the tidiness of thought and speech and act as the lily is to the touch of frost One rude word, one discordant note rung by an act not tidy in all things, and the robin chirps wren. And this too when men demand l. Siadness, joyousness, Tecklessness in the riot of happiness.
 The tragedies of life are loveless won en; those who have by their crassness kent
