The Karl of Shaftesbury is chairman. An Kuglish writer advises young women to look favorably upon those engaged in agricultural pursuits, as 1 signing as one reason that their ("mother Kve married a gardener." i He forgot to add that in consequence lot' the match the gardener lost his situation. After many years of observation the Revolution has discovered that, as a rule, woman is expected to be found fault with and udored; courted, married, mar-ried, quarreled with, deserted, divorced, played with and plagued, and only really venerated when she becomes a mother and goes to heaven. A great many women, Hays the Revolution, are trying to earn a livelihood, liveli-hood, and mako a name by writing. Much of their work, we arc sorry tt say, is very poor; their thoughts are crude, their information small and inexact, and their style inelegant il not incorrect; they have more ambitior than ability, and their dreams lack the support of disciplined faculties and valuable information.

"Carrie" writes from Brooklyn to say that it is impossible for her to be a sensible girl because the men won't permit her to be so. If upon a moonlight moon-light night she wishes to talk about the stars, the male idiots about her . compare the stars with her eyes. If she speaks of a rose as possessing a beautiful hue, they say her cheek rivals it. Should she venture to call . attention to tho melody of tho night-bird's night-bird's song, these monkey-men tell her that her voice is sweeter music. In view of this state of affairs "Carrie" asks us how she can be any- , thing else than a fool. Tho London Court Journal says that dark hair, so long neglected and despised, is again in the ascendant. The blonde is gradually resuming her Elace side by side, not above, the runette. The blonde is now declared to have maintained her rule so long by variety of artifice, and can, now that her cunning devices are known, be classified as follows: The Gothic Irish w (reddish), the Saxon English (dark yellow), the little ridiculous blonde (short, curly, golden), the cephalic blonde (orange tint), and the lymphatic lym-phatic blonde (pale straw color). Among all these the cephalic orange-golden orange-golden has always been considered the ) most to be dreaded by men who seek for peace of mind, a calm life and a happy end. |
