INITIATIVE WOMAN.
A Cynical English View of Feminine
Human Nature.

A Cynical English View of Feminine
Human Nature.
Decidedly women are an initiative
class. From her earliest age the small
girl apes the doings of her elders and,
had she her own way, would be mini
allure epitome of fashion. Such enter.
tainments as she is permitted to wit
ness in her mothers drawing room she
initiates. with dolls and nurses for COM
pany, in the nursery. In her school
days she invariably "forms" herself
on some special friend whom she elects
as model of feminine perfection. And
at certain stage of their lives girls
are as much alike as peas in pod.
AS they mature and develop they may
perhaps show some signs of Individual
ity, but in all the main issues of life
they continue to be more Initiative than
original.
Fashions. housekeeping and enter
tanning are all more or less conducted
on the same lines, and the only true
sign Of friendship that Is shown to the
young married woman is to beg her to
order her life and her home on her
friends principles. Any departure from
those principles or any symptom of in
divfdual taste or strength of mind will
sound the first challenge of unpopulari-
ty for the budding matron. Her moth
er and her mothers friends will alike
desire imitation Of their methods as
the ''sincerest form of fattery," and
every decline from the original system
will be- pronounced wrong or injudi-
cious.-Rita in London Mail.

The passion for dueling. which had

and 5000 lives during. the twenty
years Of Henry Tvs reign, was ut its
height when his son came to the
throne. The council of Trent in 1916
had sollnenly condemned the practice
Of single combat, impartially including
principals, seconds and spectators in
Its penalty of communication. In
1902 an edict of Henry pronounced the
'damnabie custom of dueling introduce

to be the cause of SO many piteous nc.
cidents, to the extreme regret and dis
pleasure of the king and to the irrep-
arabic damage Of the state that we
should count ourselves unworthy to
hold the scepter If we delayed to re-
press the enormity of this crime"
