Women of the Future.

There Is not a country in the land
but bristles with Jane Austen women,
says writer. With good many ex-
ceptions, one would not be sorry to
see them go. They are kindly, but
small deadly small
The woman of the future is not of
this type. She is far too busy to be
womanish, but she will never grow out
of being feminine. She is shedding
her smallness. Like the genie in the
Arabian Nights, now the cork. has
been removed, she is darkening the
whole sky like pillar of smoke; but
presently the smoke will settle into "a
figure of gigantic SIZE" She will be
the Meredith woman, softened by real
ity, as Galatea softened into life.
She will not glide about with up
lifted finger like Agnes, nor drive tired
men to distraction with her prattle,
like Dora, nor weep eternally when
George is unkind, like Amelia. No,
when she feels hysterical she will go
and sit on Himalaya till she is cool
er, and when her husband annoys her
out of her usual placidity, sticking a
few pigs in Texas or India will soon
put her straight. And with it all she
will wear her frills as we'll as ever.

The houses which sheltered men

Napoleon's last stand but the great
