high stocks and long sleeves are

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie expresses
her orinion upon her sex" as fol
lows:
Il have not found women at all
comparable with men-in the talents
or in the nobler veins. / have no
confidence in the honor of the aver
age woman or in her brains. The
really distinguished women have been
trained and influenced by men" She
further says that women's talk is sen
timental twaddle. Her comment is a
criticism of conditions, however,
rather than of the nature of women.
And the defects she observes tend to
diminish with democracy and the
multiplying of woman's relations to
life and participation in its energ,z-
ing and broadening activities. AS for
Mrs. Craigie's observation that the
really distinguished women have
been trained and influenced by men,"
what is that but to say that in our
present and traditional social organi-
zation men have larger range OF
activities, much more varied oppor
tunities, and that women must learn
largely through and from men. The
following is a story of a wife'S sen
timeutal twaddle and how her hus-
band educated her: st. Louis man
was sued for divorce because he had
spanked his wife. He admitted the
spanking, but claimed that the woman
needed it; he also confessed that he
had padded her good and hard, and
the wife testified thdre wasn't a
love tap in the whole proceedings.
The jury deliberated for some time
and then decided to 'let the punish
ment fit the crime" refused to grant
a decree to the wife.

the testimony, had habit of keep

bordered, as they most commonly are
now, only the least bit of ribbon for
the belt and sleeve edges is needed

lows. The rest of the goods was in
a pineapple white which mellow tone
is becoming TO all. besides being
smarter than pure white. The checks
in these yoiles, while not so dressy
as the plain ones with the tinted

these also show pretty edges in white
stripes and the color of the checking.

Many a young girl frets because
she has not as many rrocks or the
dressy sort as she needs, but it
seems to occur to few of these maid
ems that acquiring the gentle art OF
dressmaking would help them toward
the goal of their desire. Girls say
openly that they do not like to sew,
but never was there greater foolish
ness, for smart dressing is the order
OF the day and, if. there is not enough
money to get all the things needed

 She sat looking at him and he at her. There was a silence between them. If Mr. Gradgrind had been a man of any dscernment for anything except facts he would have been for a moment a waver- | ing on the part of the girl-a moment when she was impelled to throw herself | upon his breast and give him the confi- dences of her heart. But to see that he must have overleaped at a bound the artificial barriers he had for so many years been erecting between himself and | those subtle essences of humanity which will elude the utmost cunning of algerbra until the last trumpet shall sound and l blow even algebra to wreck.

T hope' said Mir. Grad grind, 'that there is-is-no other pref erence which stands in the way of your accepting MT. Bounderby?' ''Why, father,' said Louisa, what a strange question to ask me. The baby preference that even I have heard of as common among children has never had its innocent resting place in my heart. You have trained me so well that have I never had child's dream. You have trained me so wisely that never had child's belief or childs fear" Gradgrind was quite moved by the success of his system My dear Louisa," he cried, you abundantly repay my care. Kiss mt, my dear girl.'
 And so it was settled-Louisa was to become Mrs. Bounderby. What made the girl--a proud girl and one self willed-what induced her to marry man towards whom she felt no abso- lute indifference? Partly her "train- ing," and more because of her brother. She had got to that state of mind in which nothing matters much.' and Tom had told her over and over again that she was destined to marry Bound erby and must marry Bounderby, as she, and she alone could control Bound erby and make things easy for Tom, who was now In the bank. As has been said, Louisa had genuine affec- tion, and. as usual in such cases, Tom was a selfish cub. utterly unworthy of his sisters affection.
 Presiding over Mir. Bounderby's bach elor establishment was a certain "gentlewoman in reduced circum- stances known as Mrs. Sparsit. Mrs. Sparsit was very highly connected, her late husband (who had drunk himself to death at Calias) having been pub licly acknowledged as member of on his mothers side. of the Fowler Family, and Mrs. Sparsit having Iiv- ing aunt known as Lady Scadgers.

 T gave her father the land simply be- cause he needed it for support and be- cause my wife was the only abe-bodied woman in his family. Her mother is sick ly and the other children are too young.
 We will spend the next three or four years together studying, if not at Car lisle then at some other school, for we have money to pay for schooling. My wife is very anxious to learn, and want her to. She speaks English some- what. though as yet very imperfectly.
