The frlosds of cqtml rlfihtJ for women
In p rl nr ? rejoicing over Hio acquisition
of a valuable * new recruit. M. 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

her husband with four bouncing hoys and

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.

was anxiously wondering how she could

those days the "sphere" of woman was

'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.
