The Women OF Spain.

On Mrs. Lang's showing in the HUI
manitarian the life of Spanish woman
must be dull enough. But of course
there is everything in the point of view.
The Spanish woman evidently has
neither our ambition nor our uncom.
fortably developed sense of tedium.
She has no aspirations for wider hori
zon, she has no desire for a university
education, or a parliamentary vote or q
profession to render her independent.
She is perfectly satisfied with life as it is
she has no responsibilities, money affairs
being attended to by her male relatives
and housekeeping being looked after
by the servants; she has plenty of dan
cling, Irritation and intrigue, which Is
carried to a science and is her CHIEF
amusement in life. What more can shs
possibly want? would be her answer
to your query as to whether her exist
ence realized her ideal of happiness.

Guest Paid Him in His Own Coin.
Behind the onyx desk of modern

ployed who is a remarkable exponent
Of the up-to-date young man who

his wit is invincible. He met his
Waterloo recently, and now he is one
Of the meekest men that shout
"Front!"
It was early in the evening. The
electric lights had just begun to blaze
with an air of assurance. The music
floating down from the dining-room
fell with dreamy cadence upon the
ears Of the guests who were chatting
in the corridors after dinner. Suddenly
. man broke away from a group and
stepped up to the desk. He was the
last one that . shrewd observer would
have picked out for an easy mark" to
use the vernacular, but the clerk made
. mistake. The man said to the dia-
mond-bedecked guardian of the keys:
HAS anyone inquired for me to-day?"
The clerk stroked his mustache,
looked admiringly At a solitaire ring
that sparkled on his finger, and re-
piled, nonchalantly:
"Were you expecting somebody to
ak for your"
the clerk and replied in glacial tones:
II never expect anything in this
world. But that makes no difference.
Did anyone inquire for me?"
The clerk eyed him in mild wonder,
and then said with giggle:

ask OF course there did. 1t was =

"What sort Of . looking lady was
she?" asked the stranger.
The clerk said, with an air of convic-
ton that was mingled with contempt
for his interlocutor:
"Ohl just . smooth.faced lady"
'"That's my wife," said the other in
such . cool way that the clerk was
staggered and his Joke fell dead. The
other continued:
''She will be back, 30 l think l might

Il was in Richmond when my Soldier

Richmond surrendered, and the surging
sea of fire swept the city News or

General Pickett was killed l did not
believe them. l knew he would come
back; he had told me so. But they
were very anxious hours. The day aft
er the fire, there was a sharp rap at the
door. The servants had all run away.
The city was full of Yankees, and my
environment had not taught me to love
them. The fate of other cities had
awakened my fears for Richmond.
With my baby on my arm, opened the
door, and looked up at a tall, gaunt,
sad-faced man in ill-fitting clothes. He
asked: rs this George Pickett 3
