Jacques Klach , professor , qf | , he history of compirallvo leghlation'a { tlio College do Kranco , Is de voting hls-itl Is ) year's course to the htstorj of the coridllldn of women In France. In his opening Ih-ttiro hn briefly sets foith his own vft\\R | > n the general subject. Sajs he Temps : M. Finch thinks that the code Napoleoi lirjitnlly arrested the natural course of evolution by which the condition of women has been constantly huproxlng , over since the tlnid when she was n mere chattel , and marriage was a capture or a purchase , according to the honesty of the man who took possession of her. Ilo looks upon the provisions of the code In regard to women as unjust , and , moreover , as In direct conflict with the customs of our day , &lnco a gentleman will always hesitate to use the rights which the law gives him over hU wife. And , finally , ho declares In so many words that ho believes In allowing Inquiry Into the paternity of Illegitimate children ( such Inquiry Is now forbidden by the Trench law ) as a means of protection to girls , and ho demands for women complete equality not only of civil , but of political rights. In commenting upon the 10 utter ances Lo Temps remarks that the views of the dlstlt gulihcd professor arc perhaps not e > o subversive as they scorn , and that , In M , Klncli's opinion , the changes In th9 law which ho desires would tend to pro mote good morals and the stability of the family. Mra. Noah Scott of Shclbyvlllo , Ind. . it will be remembered , elicited a personal letter from President Cleveland In 1802 by nrmlng twin ollvo branches Qrover nnd Frances. NowJlrs. . Scott has presented her husband with four bouncing hoys and Mr. Cleveland will bo puzzled to name them , For two thousand years , says an article quoted In Current Mtbraturc. ever since the Uornans plighted their troth with a tiny ! r.on band , tha innclc circle has kept Its hold upon the world. Dut will that hold bo as firm in the future ? It must bo remembered that , after all , the ring Is nothing more than a symbol that the putting on of a ring Is not necessaiy to complete the legal con tract of marriage. Nor wo signs wanting that Its st&r Is already on the wano. The engagement ring may bo regarded as doomed , slnco Princess May substituted an engagement bracelet for the conventional ring of betrothal. She has not , Indeed , de clined the "mystic symbol oE the union of hearts" presented by the Welch people to thn duke of York , but the refusal of the engagement i Ing might fairly bo regarded as the first step In the pith toward the abolition of Its more important .successor There is yet another argument against the wedding ring. The ring was adopted as the outward and visible sign of power and authority. In the olden da > s , wlicu mes i sages were sent by word of mouth , it was the custom , In order to prove the authen ticity of the bearer , to entrust him with the ' j signet ring of the sender. Thus , when a man took unto himself a wife , whom ho placed at'jthc head of his household , that delegated nuthorlty was made visible to the world byjconft-rrlng upon her the all- Important r ring ; the only distinction being that the woman wore her ring on the left hand , as bclngrthe Inferior hand of the two , while the man , ' as lord and master , carrloJ his upon the right or superior hand. In a day , therefore , when the woman claims the authority in her own right and scorn fully repudiates the Idea of belli ; ; "dele gated , " it'would bo only consistent for her to refuse the symbol. A unique Christmas gift , made this jear , was one sent to Mis Lllllc Devereaux .Blake , president of the New York Woman's Suf frage assoclaticni , by the veteian v.oman suf frage worfterj Jrs. !

Hero Is an anecdote , said to hn\o been 'related by Mrs. Scott-SIddons hoi self many jears ago , when n filend asked what had Impelled her to go upon the stage. In the uaily 'G0s _ she was living with her mother , the widow"of an .Indian ofllcer , In n seaside village. Thuy were veiy poor , their lodg ings were more than humble , and the girl was anxiously wondering how she could contribute to the support of the little fam ily. The problem was a hard one , for In those days the "sphere" of woman was smaller than now , and their oppoitunltlcs to make money were not nuineious , Mean while her Immediate duty was to try t maka the shabby looms pleasant and home like. Whllo engaged In this task shu ills covcicd that an old chefTonier which stooi In one corner of the sitting room had onlj three legs. The missing fourth mcmbo had been replaced by a crumple'd-up news paper which , Judging from Its dusty condl tlon , had not been disturbed for many jcars. Mary Slddons removed the paper found j that It was a very old copy of tin Annual Register , and , on glancing over It found a long article detailing the trlumpl of her gtcat-Grandmother In some long-for gotten play. The girl decided that this was a "leading , " and at once resolved to seek fame and fortune as an actress. Doing beautiful and Intelligent , she soon obtalnet a chance to ten hei hlstronlc abilities , ant' won enough of success to ralso her mothei and herself to what , compared with their piovIons state , seemed almost like wealth. Kansas has a new "unciowned queen" In Mis.

During the tour through Canada I had attributed the strange conduct of the women to an excess of lojalty. As ! > eon as the v prlnco of Wales had left a hotel they would ' rush Into his rooms , soUo all sorts of arti cles , from a fuinlturo button to a soiled towel , as souvenirs , and oven bottle up the water with which ho had just washed his face , writes Stephen Flske In the January Ladles' HomeJournal. . But In the United States tlio women weio equally curious and sycophantic. The luggage of the royal party ivas carried In small ( gather trunks a trunk far every suit of clothes and whenever the train stopped the crowds would beg that omo of these trunks might be handed out , ind women would fondle and kiss them. I a need not say that the trainmen were never too particular as to vvhoro luggage was sub jected to this adoration , and I have had the ' iloosuro of seeing my own portmanteau clsscil by mletake.

There was a cynical fellow In the middle gea , writes Emily Ilalley Stone In January ' /Ipulncott's , who , under the sarcastic tltlo , Tha Fifteen Joja of Marriage , " wrote an laborato description of fifteen woos , which /ere likely , ono or all , to distress the foolish nan who had slipped lllto a flab Into the real net of matrimony. It U not probable , lowcver , that hla little treatise turned a Ingle man fiom the error ot hla way. How ' bould It have , when the great weight and uthorlty of .Mr , Punch have not been able In the o dayn to rnsko any appreciable dlff r pnco In the IsKtie of marriage Ikenic * Yet the genial phllo opher" mlvdc , whlc'i ' Is nti overlaying shame to Mrs July , was perfectly decided. The truth Is , men will not take advice which they il'j not want , no matter who offers It They know that nil the world loves them whin they are lover * nnd ro the vain creatures will go a-vvoolng All the pretty business of kneeling ind sighIng - Ing Is becoming ; when a man Is courting he la more Interesting than ho has ever been or ever will bo npnln. Whether It be Jorkej who dons his Siiml.iv coat to propitiate hl goddess of the * hay field , or the fine gentle man who swears at his Viilet for a speck of dust when dressing for a certain Important Interview , he Is worthy ot notlcu ; and even the frog , when he will a-noolng go , becomes a'hero fit fop poetry. The uneasy period of courtship tries the souls of men and shows what Bluff they are made of nnl therefore the nmnncis of men of tlio fifteenth century when marrying or trying to marry Indicate very fairly the refinement of society at that time. 'Ibis Is what happens to the man behind the hat , says n writer In the Observer. The preacher disappears until nothing remains but a voice. And with the lint standing up against the spot where the voice Is , and the modulated sentences breaking against It , how Is attention to be fl\ed upon the sermon ? The mind grows lax , the quiet and sweetness of the sanctuary tend to distraction , the hat Jills the whole visible unhorse , and In voluntarily ono's thoughts center upon It , It Is u wonderful construction. There Is a j-cllow rose trembling on a long stem with every movement of the wearer's head , and em i ! begins to calculate the extent of Us are. There arc > bunches of feathers , disposed , ap parently , with n view to prevent anything from being seen between them whichever way the hat Is turned. And there are stalactites of ilbbon , upright and Immovable , whtcli still further ob'cuio the horl7on. Occasion ally ono gets a momentary glimpse of the hand ot the preacher as It Is Rtrclchcd out in gesticulation , but It seems a mete de tached fragment uselessly beating the air. The- preacher himself has disappeared as It he had never been. The only thing visible When the hat Is turned for a moment Is another hat of the same kind further on. Nookmarkcrs are popular again , after hav ing for some jcars been laid aside. The newest are of flno colored cord , nnd have a "lucky" coin at one end and a full rosette ot the cord nt the other. Haby ribbon may be UTil Inste'ail of cord , If picfcrrcd , and almost anything that wilt hang may bo employed as a drop beads , sequins , gold tassels , bracelet charms , pompons of all sorts and sbes , for Instance. Of rourse. the price of the book marker must depend upon the value of the pendant. Two loaf shaped pieces of white card , or vellum stuck together for about a third of their length nt the stalk end , make charming bookmarkers. Needless to saj- , much of their success must depend upon the way In which the card Is painted to resemble mttiro as nearly as can be. A crown , a stalklcss flower , a lizard or crocodile , the flguro of nn Imp or gnome , suggest other shapes for these simple llttlo bookmarkers. Are women becoming more marriageable' Somebody , v rltlng In London Woman , flatters them that Hey arc. The writer declares that they are not so ready to rush Into mitrlmoiij' , certainly , for their lives are no longer stunted nnd empty , and they nro perhaps IrHired to subject suitors to a llttlo inoie mental ciltlclsm. Moreover , men are , happily , not so eager to marry joung.

If only each sex would more fully reall/e the honor done to It nt the altar jy the other ! The nicest , most chivalrous ! ieartcd men sometimes say that half their plcasuio In a wife consists In taking care of her , jet one cannot help agreeing with the saying of some writer that 'a woman , In ordar to give her hand with dignity , must be able to stand alone.
