And we have also among us men who admire only such. and argue that woman's sole de'etre is to be beau tiful in person, graceful in manner; to dress we'll. look nice and amuse them.
 These men prefer these living dolls. and generally they are men of more than average ability ard Industry. We find in them the coexistence of intellec- tuai cleverness. coupled with moral de- pravity; Sf talent and turpitude. Their wits and their means are employed in devising schemes for carrying off their spoil: the public eye Is deceived as to jealous husband or lover takes his re- venge."

 Prosperity and High Prices.
 "Reai wealth and real prosperity do not consist in high prices for every thing, but in the Quantity which Is actually possessed" says Mrs. Victoria Woodruff. "The point to be attained is the employment of the industry of country in those directions wherein the most can be produced at the least cost, rather than the other extreme of the least production at the greatest cost. If commodities can be obtained aKiow prices and the rate of the work ing mans wages be increased, then his material condition ts Improved; but if low prices involve q reduction Of wages, then there is no advantage gained and his standard of living is lowered.
