disilusionment sets in.
Almost the first discovery the inquirer makes
in his heroine research is-if we may so put 1t
without bringing her to earth too rudely-that
there is something wrong with her people.
The number of heroines in fiction whose fami-
lies are disgrace to them is appalling; the OBJ
durate and harsh fathers, the cruel and exacting
mothers, would alone wiring tears from us, even
if the object of their tyranny were not cunning
ly sanctifed But it is not forgotten that there
are heroines without ties, eminent heroines who
have been household names in the past, and will
be handed down in sixpenny editions to tender
hearted generations to come. The orphan hero
inc is colossal figure of pity in fiction.
Again, we have the heroine with "other ties. /"
Sometimes she marries them, when, indeed, vii
lainy in all it's marital guises turns our sympa-
thes towards her; or there are black sheep beside
whom her fleece must needs appear "white as
snow" These are the herones of the book, the
heroines of the play; we love, cherish, and exalt
them; we hold them up to our parents, and
children and relatives

- keep shoes looking well is to change
them often and never to wear outdoor
shoes indoors. To make the foot appear shorter
than it really is choose boots with long vamp.
A broad, short foot will look much better in
boot size larger and narrower than the size
that exactly fits the foot. In following this
plan it is well to stuff the toes firmly with cot

beauty of a gem is its sparkle, and this is not

dry it is removed, and will be found as smooth

look from silk but of course it is not necessary
to treat wash silk in this way. Cold coffee will
be found best for sponging black silk.
To mend your gloves, never use silk thread,
but cotton thread the color of the same. The
silk slips and will not hold the edges together
tightly.S If white kids only slightly soiled
they may be cleaned by rubbing with powdered
pipe clay, and if very much soied they can be
washed in gasoline and rinsed. The most soiled

V&fES5f1g those who strive to create a literary
sensation, or to lay the fimsy founda-
ton of a discussion which, the origi-
nator only too often knows, is not worth breath,
pen or paper?
This is a question that some guardians of the
sex-as those evel-headed common-sensible wom-
en- who keep firm hand on their less willy sis
ters may be called-are asking. Others, on the
contrary. are of opinion that, to paraphrase the
proverb, open discussion is good for the sex;
that, while woman submits with excellent grace
to see herself calumnied by the column, chas-
tised by the chapter, and pilloried by the para
graph, she is serving her sex; allowing matters
to average themselves" and ventiating such
subjects as our national reserve have hitherto
regarded as sacred from public discussion.
Both these points of view are capable of en-
largement to degree which an impartial Judge
might declare sound enough but we are inclined
to wonder whether the majority of women-that
is to say the natural prey of the writers upon
sex problems, sex conundrums and sex mysteries
generally-are seriously considering these ques-
tions at ALL Whether, matter Of fact, they
regard the strenuous endeavors of the bellicose
controversiast as more than so much escaped
ea,uberance from some queer old crank; the
hippant irrelevances of the would-be cynic as the
pale efforts of the perspirng funny man; the
deep-noted diatribes of the psychologists as the
wailings of the disappointed and lonely bachelor?
One thing is certain, and this is, that the
majority Of women meet appear by no means
affected by their ascending Importance as dis
cussabe creatures of interest; in fact, we are
sometimes tempted to believe that many Of the
surprising little observations upon women which
scntillate at the point of the male pen are really
welcome variants from the daily regime of fact
and fiction.
Yet this fair-game hunting lin more senses

In France, where the making of precious"

another stone which is cleverly initiated. A per-

pose in the eyes of her maid OF her cook. Still,
she may be heroine for all that.
In dealing with heroines, therefore-and some
one is always attempting to dispose of them in a
satisfactory manner-it is usual to avoid any type
which cannot be assigned place either in the
literature of a past day or our own times; and,
having come to this determination, it is a mere
question of trotting out the noted feminine char
acters in fiction and labelling them with their
respective virtues
