"In nine drawingâ€"rooms out of ten," Sophia said, seeing me give a look of ~inquiry as she read. this article, "Miâ€" randa or Cordelia, as novel heroines, would be voted bores. . Women would say : ‘We utterly decline to accept these watery girls as typical of us ; we want smartness and life.‘ I don‘t â€"really care much for Miranda or Corâ€" â€" delia myself.. Now, this seems to me fi'fififi{m us against trusting too imâ€" plicity or too far our own notions about ourselves. Another source of misanderstanding comes from the novâ€" el writers. _ We are the novel readers, â€"and the novelist is forced to. write heroines to suit our taste. He does not want to offend us. Thus it comes about that even the malenovelist is too often only depicting women‘s woâ€" men after all. And I believe scores of modern girls are seriously misled for this very reason. . They believe they *are finding out what men think of them, when in truth they ave reading their own notions handed back to them under a pretty disguise. «And let me tell you how that is to ‘be done," Sophia said, putting her paper down for a moment. «*A woman can please the eye by her appearance, her dress, her face, and her figure. She an please the ear by studying the art of graceful elocution, nos hard to any "Rule I.â€"A woman‘s power in the world is measured by her power to please. Whatever she may wish to accomplish, she will best manage it by pleasing. _A woman‘s grand social aim should be to please. $ of 35, for by nature we speak with finâ€" er articulation than you. She can please the mind by cultivating her own â€"â€"so far, as least, as to make her a good listener ; and as much further as she will she can please the fancy by ladies‘ wit, of which all of us have a share. She can please the heart by amiability. See here," she continued, growing graver, "you have the key of my systein. Beauty of person is only one feature of true beauty. _ un over these qualities. See how small a part personal beauty or the freshness of _youth plays here. I want you to obâ€" serve this ; for my art would consist not in making women attractive who ‘are openly pretty aad young, but in showing them that youth and prebtiâ€" ness, though articles of beauty, are neither the only nor the indispensable «articles. "Rule II.â€"Modesty is the ground ‘on which all women‘s charms appear to the best advantage. In manaers, dress, conversation, remember always that modesty must never be forgotten." «Not prudery," she added. "Prudery is to modesty what brag is to bravery. Prudery is on the. surface ; modesty is in the soul. Rosalind in her boy s suit is delightfully modest, but not," «Sophia said, with a twinkle of her eye â€""nmot very prudish, is she !" T assented, and thus made way forâ€" "Rule III.â€" Always dress up to your age, or a little beyond it. Let your person be the youngest thing about you, not the oldest. "Hardly likely to be," I murmured. sls it 5* "Understand me," answered Sophia briskly. "I mean modesty in a very extendedsense. There is nowadays a tendency in women to rebel against oldâ€"fashioned modesty. _ The doctrine of Liberty is spreading among us, for which I thank God," sophia said (she was the oddest little .aixture of Tory and Whig and Radical ever compound ‘ed on this eccentric earth). "But the first effects of that doctrine on our minds are a little confusing. . We are growing more independent and more individaal. â€" Some of us tancy that to be modest is to beoldâ€"fashioned, and of course we want the newest fashion in all things. I maintain," Sophia said, growing a little warm, as if she fancied I might argue backâ€""I maintain that a modest woman is the reply of my sex to a brave manâ€"you cau no more have a true woman without modesty than a true man without courage. But, reâ€" member, I use the : word modesty in a high sense." "Rule IV.â€"Remember that what women admire in themselves is seldom what men admire in them. "Just what I was going to ask," I said. : â€"_«Which," she remarked, "is another form of what I said just now, only here â€" "Rule V.â€"Women‘s beauties are seldom men‘s beauties. _ T speak of personal beauty. My obâ€" servation is that, if ten men and ten pwomen were to go into the same comâ€" h&ny, and each sex choose the prettiest woman there, as they thought, you would rarely find that they chose the same. If this be so, we ought not to trust ourselves even as to our faces without considering that the sex we are to please must, in the end, settle the question in its own way,. "Rule VI.â€" Gaiety tempered by seriousness is the happiest manner in society. _.) tss "By which I mean," Sophia said looking at me with knitted brows, as if she were about to explain some matâ€" ter not altogether clear to herself, "that in all our gaiety there ought to be a hint of selfâ€"recollection, Do you underâ€" stand me ?" «Not quite," I said. "This I know certainly," she replied. "The most agreeable women I have BY "LADY LDY BEAUTY." BEAUTY RULES. «Next," she continued, seeing I did mot speak, "comesâ€" "Rule VII.â€"Always speak low. "I wonder why I put that down ? It is so obvious. In support of it I need only quote your Shakespeare, who calls it an excelleat thing in a woman. met withâ€"and I â€"think the most reâ€" gardedâ€"have been women of rank, who have been trained with a due reâ€" gard for religion. _ Their worldly eduâ€" cation had made them mindfal of grace and liveliness ; their religious education kept these qualities under a particular sort of control, which is perceptibly different from mere good breeding. It seems to me that vivacity and sprightâ€" liness are greatly enchanced by a vein of seriousness. Certainly, no woman ousght to be a mocker. "Rule VIIILâ€"A plain woman can never be pretty. She can always be fascinating if she takes pains. "I well remember," Sophia said, after reading this, to me, rather que*â€" tionable assertion, "a man who was a great admirer of our sex telling me that one of the most fascinating women he had ever known was not only not pretty, but as to her face decidedly plainâ€"ugly, only the word is rude. I asked my friend, How, then, did she fascinate ? I well remember his reply. Her figure,‘ said he, ‘(was neat, her dressing was faultless, her every moveâ€" ment was . graceful, her conversation was clever and animated, and she alâ€" ways tried to please. 1t was not I alone who called her fascinating ; she was one of the most acceptable women in society I ever knew. _ She married brilliantly, and her husband, a barrister in large practice, was devoted to herâ€" more than if she had been a queen of beauties." @Now, here," Sophia continued, reâ€" suming. her own discourseâ€""here was a woman who, excepting a fairly neat figure, had not a single natural gift of appearance. Is not this worth our thinking aboutâ€"those of us women who care to please and are not beauties born 1 "Rule IX â€"Every year a woman lives, the more pains she should take with her dress. "The dressâ€" of us elderly dames," Sophia said, laughing, "ought to be more of a science that it is. How ofâ€" ten one hears a woman of fifty say, ‘Oh, my dressing days are)past!‘ When,‘ adds Sophia, "if she thought about it, they have only well begun. At least, the time has come when dress is more to her than ever. Remember, from forty to sixtyâ€"five is a quarter of a cenâ€" turyâ€"the third of a long life. It is a period through which the majority of grownâ€"up people pass. And yet how little pains women takeâ€"how little thought beforehandâ€"to be charming then ! "And now," she weat on, seeing I did not speak, "here comes my last ruleâ€"as yeb :â€" "Rule X.â€"In all things let a woman ask what will please the men of sense before she asks what will please the men of fashion. "I by no means intend," she added, "that a woman is not to have regard to the opinion of men of fashion, only she should not give it the first place. She will carry the men of fashion soonâ€" er by methods that please the men of sense than men of sense by methods that please meia of â€" fashion. And, besides, listen to the men of fashion. They always praise a woman for things which begin to perâ€" ish at twentyâ€"five. Even the old men of seventy will talk of ‘a fine girlâ€" deucedly fine figure ? " (I wish I could give au idea of Sophia‘s slightly wicked mimicry at this passage.) ‘"And they will call a woman rather on the decline, when, if she is on the decline, where, and what are they 1 You see, if a woman lives for the commendation of men of fashion, she will, if pretty, piquant, or what not, have a reign of ten years. But if she remembers that she has charms of mind and character, and taste, as well as charms of figure and complexion, the men of sense will follow her for half a century ; and in the long run the men of fashion will be led by the men of sonse," «And there," Sophia cried merrily, throwing the paper down on the rug beside herâ€""there aremy rules for reforming our little world ¢f women." Autographâ€"hunters sometimes get prominent persons into very unpleasâ€" ant positions. . As an evidence of this fact we find in an English periodical a somewhat amusing anecdote of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who represents a Birmingham constituency in the House of Commons in the British Parliament, Tt seems that when Mr. Chamberlain was made a cabinet minister he got hundreds of requests for his autograph. For a time he answered each one in an autograph note, but the labor inâ€" volved became so great that finally he had a printed form prepared, running, «Your request of such a date is hereby complied with." â€" Then when an autoâ€" graph request came in he simply signed this blank form and let it go at that. One day a tall rawâ€"boned Warwick shire man walked into his office «Morning," said he. "Goodâ€"morning," said Mr. Chamberâ€" lain, looking up. "I came for that place you promised me," said the countryman after an awkward pause. An Episode in Autograph Hunting. @Place ? I promised you no place,‘,| said Mr. Chamberlain, | «Yes, you did," insisted the countryâ€" | man, stoutly. _ I‘ve got your prumise! in your own handwriting." _ With that | he hauled out one of the autograph | repliesâ€""Your request of such a date." | "But man alive," said Mr. Chamberâ€" lain, that was in response to a request from you for my autograph. Mr. Chamberlain had the man‘s letâ€" ter hunted up, and sure enough he found it was a formal application for a place. "Here," said the perplexed minister, emptying into his big hand all the money he had in his pocket. . "I can‘t give you a place; I haven‘t any to #ive." "No, ‘twasn‘t," said the man. "I never asked for no autograph. I want a place ; that‘s what I wrote for." _ And with that the man had_ to be content Canadian First, Prench Afterward. | You have welcomed me as a standâ€" ‘ ardâ€"bearerof Reform in Canada. This position, as my colleagues well know, 1 I never sought or coveted. For reaâ€" sons to which I need not allude, if it , had been lefté to me to have chosen the | rank I should occupy I should have reâ€" | mained what I was beforeâ€"a simple { private in the grand army of reform " and progress.

T ‘ must say, and I am proud to say, that there never was a man in the position T occupy who received from _ his . colâ€" l leagues in the House of Commons such | cordial support as has been given me by my colleagues. There we knew I no race or creed. _ We are Canadians ; but I knew at the time that I accepted the position that in some parts of the \ Tory party, not in all, I _ am sure, an. attempt would be made to make politiâ€" ‘ cal capital out of my French origin. I have in my hands here a copy of a. Conservative newspaper, the Hamilton Spectator, in which it is stated as a taunt that the Grits of Ontario are following a French leader. Sir, the leader toâ€"day of the Liberal party is a Canadianâ€"a Canadian first, last and always; a Canadian, I am proud to say, of French origin. Nay, I am. proud of my origin. . I belong to a noble race ; but, proud as I am of my origin, still prouder I am of my title of a Canadian. My country is not conâ€" fined to the limits of the Province of Quebec; my countrymen are not only those of French origin. My country is wherever the British flag floats in America ; my countrymen are all these Canadians who bear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen. (Applause.) These appeals to prejudice will have no effect in the Provineg of Ontario. I know especially that they will have no effect upon the old soil of this historical county of York. I _ was aware before I came here that in this old ‘county of York, in the early struggles for reform and responsible government, one was once elected of my own race and creed. I refer to the Hon. Mr. Lafontaine, and I am glad to see here on this present occasion once of the veterans of this old cause in your chairman ; a man. now old in years, but ever young in the cause of reform. _ We must stand upon broader ground than this.â€"Hon.
