+'Woma nkind.' said this charming matron,
in this country, at least, may be put into
two classes. Rather. / should say, girkind,
because we are talking about girls. In one
class is the girl who is generally spoken of
as serious minded She is planning a
career for herself outside OF domestic ac-
tivites. a professional! woman or busi-
ness woman.
Splendid girls are these, but they don't
care a whoopee for anything i'll the male
world, unless it is man who can
further their career through his interest or
influence. We know these wonderful girls,
and there are getting TO be more Of them
all the time.
They go to college 10 fit themselves for
yers and what not, and they are the clever
est and smartest and most capable people
in the world. l have always had the most
profound admiration for this style Of girl.

They feminine enough to know that
fiirtina might make emotional ripples on the
placid stream of their lives, and this, above
all things they wish TO avoid.
These girls assent 10 the old saying that

and all that DGt matter of fact they
really DO not plan TO marry. ! think that
most OF them have a feeling that maybe
some time, after they have achieved the
success they are working for in the path

land and settle down to domestic life. But
their chef interest is not In mankind or IN
any particular man, and they think of him
in connection with their OWE scheme OF

presented comparisons between the
ancient kingly crown Of England and

which the Queen had become invested
as Empress of India; and it is known
that while this venerable sovereign, so
sagacious In other matters. showed an
noted to the rank of Empress, she was
keenly mortified By the newness OF her
imperial dignity and by the fact that 1t
was restricted to the Indian portion Of
her dominions.
Grateful as she was To Eeaconsfield for
securing the passage of an act Of Par

the revival of this ancient title OF the
English sovereigns, and had thus in

would have been not the newest but the
oldest In Europe.
For the imperial crowns now in ex-

the German Emperor dates only from
the year 1870 and is of much more

throughout the length and breadth of
the immense British Empire, which en-

The Austrian Empire as now cOnsti-

ing in common with the former Holy
Roman Empire of Germany. which was
brought to. an end by Napoleon, and an
obstacle was placed in the way of its
revival by the emperors of Austria in
little known clause which the late
Prince Bismarck inserted in the treaty
of peace of Nikosburg after the close
of the war OF 1866, binding down the
rulers of Austria never to resume the
title of Emperor of Germany or to at
tempt TO exercise suzerainty over any
German state.
1t is perfectly true that the crown OF
Charlemagne, formerly used to crown
the emperors of Germany. is preserved
among the regalia of the Austrian i'm
perial house at Vienna. But no Austrian
Emperor would ever dream of having
himself crowned Herewith. Indeed, its
use for such a purpose would be regard

almost constitute casus belli.
The rulers of Russia have been en-

sumed that title, his predecessors having
