Oood so ciety In Franco is no uxceptiou to tlia rulo. No mora nro tho hotels fnr the contrary. Hut what is thero to bo learn ed in what Is termed "high society" ex copl gusilp from club Hinoking rooms mill from iHiudoIrs. which might, cr haiw, furnish u fow pages of Sciindalous Chronicle? It is tho people who preservu tho traditions or u country; therefore it is tho middle clnases, tho working classes In town and country, that tho observer must turn to. That tho French women of tho upper classes aio tlio leaders of fashion nil over the world, everybody knows: but 1 can not pass them over without dwelling upon tho reason why our best men nre stilt at tho feet of our women "If I wero queen," salil Mmo. Itecamlcr ono day, "1 would command Mine, dc Stacl to talk to mo nil day long:" and a contemporary of this celebrated author-ot-s relates how ho and some friends of his wero driving with her ono day, and wero suddenly surprised by a violent storm bursting over their heads without their having noticed n sign of its gather ing, so absorbing were tho charm and vivacity of her conversation. There arc plenty of French women of wlioin blnii lar things might bo said. From tho Seventeenth century thoy have continued to hand down this charming sovereignty of converse. Mother bequeathes it to daughter, or it is transmitted in the blood: and, to my mind, this Is what chielly distinguishes them from tlio wo men of other countries. In spito of tele graph uiul railways, ln spito of politics, which in these days absorb all ranks of French society, people still causent in Franco; ami this, .thanks to French wo men. Excuse mo for using tlio word causer, but you havo no equivalent for it in Huglish. Clint is perhaps tho near e.tt approach to it, hut oven that falls to render its meaning. A causcrio is mark ed not only by interest or subject, but also by a lightness of touch which the French languago eminently lends It self to. Can you imagine a drawing room attractive without the presence o( In dies? Ilavo you never noticed that, left to themselves, tlio most clover men fall into argumentation, that their oratory falls to interest or convince you, nnd that there is a general feel ing of coldness and restraint? Hut let a woman come in, n womunof tusto, and gaycty comes with her: .conversa tion becomes unlimited and attractive. It runs gracefully from ono subject into another, like a huttcrlly from spruy to spray. It touches each lightly, rises to high thoughts, comes to earth oguin, passing from lofty to lowly subject, from grave to gay. with infinite mean ders. Every ono is moved to show him self at his best, and draws from his vo cabulary his choicest expressions, Ida happiest rellectious, surpasses himself, uml is surprised to rind himself inspired us by a muse. Just now they wero kill ing time; now every ono is enjoying himself. All constraint is gouo; each ono gives f reo expression to his thoughts. In u word, just now they wero talking; now they causenl. And in taking leave of their hostess thoy might repeat tho expression that a certain courtly nbbo of tho Eighteenth century used in speak ing to u grand dame who had communi cated to him something of her irresist ible spirit: "Madame, I um but nn in strument, on which you havo plaved with skill." So much for tho French women of tho upper classes. Now let us pass on to tho different working classes of society. There, too, we find woman's sovereignty indisput able, and tho men in leading strings. In tho French household the woiiinu is queen. Her empire over her children is )erfect, and she leads her husband by the nose. He does not complain of this; on tlio contrary, he enjoys it. uud ho thinks that, after all, much worse might happen to him. Tlio wife knows ull her husband's uifairs, and when he htu a fewKivingato invest ho does not think It beneath him to ask her advice. Sho knows, as well as ho, tho current price of stocks at the Ilouio, and if he should iw seized with a prurionny to embark In speculation, she brings to hear nil her In lluence nvor him to induce him to buy console or any other government secu rities. Call on her husband on business, and If hw is from homo you will not need to make a second visit on that account; she has nil tlio affairs of tho Arm at her flniror'? ""! Every little bourgeoiso keeps a memo randum boob, in which alio writes down all her expenses. Nothing is forgotten, not even tlio halfpenny to tho blind beg; gar who plays tho fluto at tho street cor nor. ' Tho French woman lias a genius for cookery, and is thoroughly awake to the fact that it Is good policy In married JACQUES CAPITAL CITY COURIER, IHo to sec that monslonr dines well. 1 belluvo thero Is n saying In England that tlio way to a man's heart Is through his stomach:, but 1 fanoy thero nro many English women whodonot ttso this path way as much as thoy might Tho politics of tuntrlmony Is a sclenco Inborn In our women. Let a French wo man ho rich or jioor, sho has always tho charm or femlnallty. Sho Is always smart, always alert, and has a littlo llut lerlng, hustling wuy with her that is liotind to keep awnko your Interest in nil she does. Sho may Ik) sometime a little nlfected, hut sho Is never vulgar. On Sundays nnd holidays she dresses still n little mora elegantly than usual, but nho never appears to bo In Sunday clothes. Tlio middle class French woman Is.lady. liko, not only in her dies, but In Iter speech. You will never see her loaded with cheap jowolry, this great stamp of vulgarity: and when sho siK-aks to you, you cannot guess whether she Is tho wife of ri gentleman or of a miml! truiloMimn. Notice that she often changes the stylo of her hair. That is becauso oho knows that lovo lives on trllles, and that the best dishes liccomo insipid if they nro nl ways served with tho same siiuro. Even If her stock of clothes is scanty, her clover brain mid lingers help her to cover Its deficiencies by constant littlo changes. Willi two or three dresses in her jiosses siou, the denr littlo humbug will inuko you believe that sho has a well tilled waidrobe. I havo often in England heard French women called frivolous. Hut this Is the height of absurdity, and, in my quallly of Frenchman, surely I ought to be as good a judge of the olnt ns the English tourist. How can French women, who uro perhaps, of all women in tlio world, tho most initiated into tlioafTnii-H of their husbands, bo frivolous? If frivolity con sists in trying to remain young nnd at tractive ns long ns ikmsIIiIo without be coming ridiculous, then tho French bour geoiso Is frivolous. If, again, frivolity consists In making a homo cheerful nnd gay, and prevent ing a husband from being nhsorlwd by tho cares of business, then sho is frivol ous. Hut this is 1)0)1801180. Is she friv olous, this woman who is tho friend and confidante of her husband who, in im portant matters as well as in the small est, has lioth a consultative and deliber ative volco In the household? It Is she who knows, with her economy and good management, how to faco tho danger when, from ono causo or another, tho family revenue diminishes; it is she who knows, with her energy, how to ward off ruin from her threshold. If this woman wero frivolous, how could you explain tho adoration for tho mother which, oven to the lowest of tho low, you And In French children? How could this bo, unless she wero the exam ple of all domestic virtues? If a French man of 40 would hesitate to tnko an im portant step in life without Arst consult ing his mother, surely it must bo that ho recognizes in her a wlso guide. It would bo inero uatveto on my part to dwell longer on this absurd churgo of frivolity. Take now tho shop keeping classes. Thero you will sco tho wife tho active partner of her husband. Heboid them 1)0 th oa the commercial traveler displays his goods on tho counter. Tho wife is supreme. Hor objections nro without appeal, her opinion Anal. It is she who generally has charge of tho books and the cash box, and neither books nor cash wero over intrusted to better guardian ship. Sho is not a mere housekeeper, with or without wages; sho is the part ner, not merely a sleeping partner. This not only ennhles her to Iks of great help to her husband, bill it nlso enables her, if sho happens to becotuo a widow, to carry on tlio business without her hus band, to bo independent nnd to bring up her children. Sho has not, to obtain her living on her husband's death, to become a working housekeeper or a nureo; she is the mispress of Iter own house as be foro, and now tho head of the Arm. In her shop sho is most polite, but never servile; and if you wish her to tako you for a gentleman, don't keep your hat on while you nro engaged with her in a commercial transaction. I havo still present in my memory tho following littlo nnecdoto: A well dressed man onco entered a per fumer's shop whero 1 va3 purchasing a pair of gloves. Keeping his hat on nil tho time, ho addressed tho perfumer's wlfo in n most offhand manner. Hut what exasperated tlio dear woman was that, after inquiring about the price of Bomo score of articles, ho prepared to retire, saying: "Ho didn't think ho wanted any thing." "I think you do," replied tho woman, who was not to bo wholly without a re venge; "you want a fow lessons in po liteness, nt ull events." It is said that Louis XIV, the most haughty and magnificent monarch of modern times, used to lift his hat oven to tho female servants of his court, If so, no man need think that ho derogates from his dignity by keeping his hat off in a respectable shop when ho is served by a woman. I might Bay n word or two on tho drawbacks of the intluonco of women on Frenchmen; but thero is no doubt that this influence has polished our man ners. You cannot obtain n perfect notion of French industry unless you pay a visit to our peasantry. I must say that now the woman ceases to b attractive. She does not even attempt to look o. Sun burnt, halo and hearty, behold her, dear English tourist, that is tho fortune of Franco. She has a coarse scrgo gown on and simple snowy cap. She is clean and tidy and the personlllcation of Industry. I do not doubt, however, that, thanks to tho blessings of gratuitous and compul sory education, tho tlmo will soon come when she will want to imituto tho ladles of tho town in her lmbits and dress, and thut her sous will despise the dear land whoro they were boi.i, and will all want to bo clorks, and swger In town with high stand upcollu;. tight trousers -and sticks. Thank good.icss, this sickening spectacle is not yet to bo seen in Franco I This good, hard working, thrifty wo man is tho backbone of the country. Tho amount of work oho can get through SATURDAY, NOVEMBER M simply prodigious. You will ahvnyi bi hor busy, either working In hor Aold, soiling tho produoo of liar littlo farm In tho market placo of tho nearost town, or engaged about hor littlo housohold. Whether she takes her cow to tho Hold or Is on hor way to townj whether sho Is sitting behind her wnres waiting for cus tomers, or In a railway station waiting for hor train, look nt her lingers busy on a jxilr of stockings. Sho does not know what It Is to bo Idle for a slnglo moment, Sho has never loft her denr village, nnd for her the world Is made up of her "three acres and n cow," Hut sho lias got them, and, thanks to her frugal habits and splendid management, her family cun live and thrive un thorn. She Is not attractive, but sho Is a picture of health and contontuieiit. Shares nud bonds may go up or down without disturbing her peaco; she holds noiio. She trusts her savings to nobody, Hankers, sho thinks, company directors nud stock brokers, may bo very respecta ble persons: but when tho old stocking Is swollen with II vo friino pieces, sho rounds oir her little family domain nud buys a now Hold something sho Is qulto sure to And in its place when she wakes up in the morning, Hor daughter goes Into service, and makes n capital ser vant. Like her mother, shu thinks but of ouo thing saving her wages. Sho docs not gel a new hat every month to get photographed in It; she puts her money In tlio savings bank. Let mo givo you an example of her frugality, and nllow mo to take it from a personal recollection. My mother has n housemaid who has been with her twenty-live years. Not long ago, whllo In Franco, I took nstdu this old servant: "I know how devoted you havo been to my mother," I said to her. "You are not strong, unit I dare say you will not wish to go Into service again; but make yourself easy about this. If anything should hapHn to my mother, I shall seo that you urn comfortable for tho rest of your life. Hut," I said Inquiringly, "I have no doubt you have something of your own by thbj tlmo?" Imagine my surprise whon I heard hor tell mo sho had saved ovor 10,000 francs, nil well Invested, including ono share in the Suez Canal companyl Since I havo mentioned tho Suez canal, why should I not tako the opportunity for trying to explain tho uneasiness that was some tlmo ago created In Franco by the Hrltlsh jwlloy in Egypt? You must tcar in mind that tho Suez canal was not made by big capitalists. It was made by tho savings bank of Franco; by the "old stockings;" that Is to say, by tho small bourgeois, tho working pcoplo nnd tho servants. When wo rcilect that tho riches of France ariso from the econ omy Imposed upon overy French houso hold by tho women, I might even 'say that tho Suez canal Is tho work of the French women. This canal is essentially n national enterprise, nnd tho least French mechanic will toll you "wo havo mado tho Suoz canal." You will And very fow French families possessing as many as ten shares. Thoy aro spread all ovor tho country. Well, let a few unscrupulous jour nalists attempt to prove to tho pco plo that the English want to annex pr protect Egypt in order to soizo on tho Suez canal, and you will easily imaglno tlio effect. What a pity it seems that nations can only talk to other nations through their political press! Whatu pity it is that tho British Ceoplo cannot let their French neighbors now in plain words that they admlro them for the gigantio work thoy have mado, and that thoy will novor dream of being connected with tho Suez canal othcrwiso than as good customers to help thorn got good dividends! These samo women of Franco did something grander than this. It was thoy who redeemed their bolovcd coun try, and paid off tho Prussian eighteen years ago. To lie Continued. A provcntetlvo for croup.
