If we fully admit the id'-a of woman

through tnleratiou. we couio at once
lo tt most luten:-tliiK of all question:
the inlwrt'iit likeness or uulikenesii of

abmird to say either tli.it poetry is
better than s !t--lrj or that n!i;ilirn is
better than poetry.
We hare here, ierliiip. a genuine
rlue. To iut this in a concrete way:
man' mind lntelleetually i-on. i ives the
Idea of a house, and makes an altraet
plan of it. as nreliite-i ; this is th,. in
tellect, the lirst of our lure- niojipK of

mortar, tin- grappling w)u sheer

The difference between a house and
a home i the added psychic element.
It Is a matter of finding: yet here feel
ing, we will all admit. Is tbe vital
matter,
Thl 1 merely a simile. We have
not used It to arrive at the platitude
that "woman' sphere Is tbe home,"
and that, consequently, she should
keep out of politics. On the contrary,
we hold, and by this Instance sought
to illustrate, that Irilo every completed
work of humanity all ti.ree elements
abould enter the Intellectual or spirit
ual; the element of concrete feeling or
psychic; and tbe materia! and physical;
and that, in general, men will supply
the first and the third, while women
will mipply tbe second. Harper's

That she abould he censured fur lay
ing claim to what Is truly hers seems
unkind and irrational a tyranny of
opinion. Marriage Is a delightful
thing; but it Is not, and never can be,
a duty; nor Is It as a duty that men
and women have hitherto zealously
practiced it Tbe outcry against celi
bacy as a "great social disease" Is
louder than the situation warrants. It
la the echo of an older protest against
the deferring of the Inevitable wedding
day; against the perverse "boggling at
every object," which liurtou found so
exasperating a trait In youth, and
which La Hruyere calmly and conclu
sively condemns. "There Is," says the
French moralist, 'a time when even
the richest women ought to marry.
They cannot, allow their youthful
charms (o escape them, without tin
risk of a long repentance. The Import
ance of their reputed wealth seems to
diminish with their bi-auty. A young
woman, on the contrary, lias every
thing In her favor; and If, added to
youth, she possesses other advantages,
he la ao much the more desirable."
This ia the simplest possible exos!
tlon of the masculine point of view. It
to plain that nothing is farther from La
Bruyere'a mind than the jKisslbillty of
a lifelong splnsterhood for even the
moat procrastinating heiress. He mere
ly points out -that It would be more
seasonable In her to permit a husband
1 enjoy her youth and her wealth
multaneously. Agnes lteppller, in

It la the fad and frill of fashion
that give tbe smart girl her charming
personality. She accept, It la true,
g eartalii style of dress for each season,
tax It la wltb that fascinating toss of
boy atf4 wWoa eaye, "I will bar my
own wsy. after alL" She accepts, but
not abjWtly, not mechanically; oh, no,
lndetrd. The ruling style will do very
well for a foundation, but upon this
she build and adds and alters with
light, sure touch until tbe conventional
costume becomes peculiarly her own.
Now, the smart girl has lots of little
ways of her own hosts of them, in
fact. They are her fads. When to
the way she does things we add the
way he wears thing, we then have
the fads and fashions which make her
at once so Inimitable and bewitching.

conspicuous sliver or brass Initials are
no longer the smart thing to dH-orate
