FRENCH AND ENGLISH WOMEN
System of Providing a "Dot" Makes
for the independence of the
Former.

Though there is far less suffrage
propaganda in France, the superior
position of the French woman has
often been noted. If the husband
keeps a shop, she keeps it, too; there
is no question of her capacity for
business, nor is her share in the joint
business regarded as interference.
With rare exceptions it is almost i'm
possible to imagine the English wom-
an in a position SO entirely taken for
granted But then size starts on diff
ferent basis. In France, the portion
less girl would be fairly certain not
to marry; from the moment Of her
birth, therefore, her parents set to
work TO provide her with 'dot." In
cidentally, the dot" system is per-
haps the greatest incentive to thrift
so entirely lacking in this country,
says London Truth. The lowered girl
goes to her husband with a certain
solid backing-which proves its value
in times of stress and illness-and is
not only willing but prepared to work.
The average English woman, on the
other hand, will be Independent, but
she is also romantic. And romance
with her prefers the role of beggar-
maid to King Cophetua. In her heart
of hearts she likes her husband to
raise her to his side" She scorns
romance on a business basis. Too
late does he realize that the small
business or professional man cannot
really afford the luxury of a house
keeper. He spends on her more than
he gets from her Her value to him is
one of "estime," in a day it may be
reduced to nil. The independence she
hoped to increase by marrying de-
ponds entirely on her kindness or
forbearance

Brave Rescue of DOG.

For risking his life to save dog,
Piermaster Bennett Of Rhyl, Wales.
has just been presented with diplo-
ma from the P. G. A. society. A collie
dog got into the water at the head
of Rhyl pier, and VII attempts to in
duce 1t to land were futile. Despite
the darkness and a heavy tide Ben
nett went down one Of the columns of
the pier to the waters edge by means
of a rope Even then he could not
reach the dog, but by another young
man hanging over the pier and thus
frightening the rope, Bennett was
able to reach the dog, which was in a
very exhausted condition. He was in
a perilous position for about three
quarters of an hour, and had to hang
on by one arm to the ironwork while
he lifted the dog out of the water
with his other arm.

LEFT BABY WITH THE SAINT
Woman Chooses Unique Method OF
Getting Rid of Offspring Appar-
emily Undesired.

A respectable woman, with an in
FAINT in her arms, entered the cathe-
dral at Antwerp one morning when
the priest was alone The woman adj
dressed him in a most earnest and
affecting manner, and with due hui
mility unfolded her tale of sorrow.
Her child, she said, was suffering
from some mortal malady; the skill
of the physician had been all in vain,
and she was at last convinced that
nothing could save her beauteous babe
from the jaws of death but being
placed for a moment in the arms of
her tutelary saint.
The saint was stuck up in a niche
of the wall with a neat balcony be-
fore him, in the form Of a goodly mar
BILE statue.
The priest was at last moved by
her entreaties; he procured a ladder,
assembled to the sacred niche, entered
the balcony, and, placing the babe in
the arms of the statue, asked the
grateful mother if she was satisfied.
Perfectly So" said that lady; and
carefully removing the ladder she
walked coolly out of the church,
leaving her rosy infant, the astonished
priest, and the unconscious saint all
equally elevated, there to remain till
the next brother of the community
should arrive.
