We itad, thought that tine cult of the pretty simpleton had die/away like the cult of sensibility" wolf h distinguished 'th it the fear of atibn. We notice,, President of the Women's Progressive So iety, at the end of a most sensibiefel ` iiideed able, letter ad- vising girls wh�t to do if they find life too monotonous, published in the Daily !news of Tuesday (week), thinks it necessary to remind them and their mothers that young women with brains and energy to use them do get married. We hear, too, on many sides that the old dread which thirty years since , so greatly, checked the progress of women s education, has again revived, and that a Trl��a!€�flf:�.[tl��'�p�:�...5�rh�l4�.►„�,,, mnthersand Miss Austen's time, and the Vretty Woman of culti however, that Mrs. Gnoa' "les tnid'' young women that culture ma latter too " formidable " to young men, and that " the clever ones " miss the most natural and most fitting of women's careers. They get appointments some- times, but they never get proposals. We believe that the facts are- misrepresented, and that the fear, which if well founded would rightly check education, is almost entirely without foundation. Having watched the movement in favor of female education from the beginning with entire Impartiality—that is, with a keen dislike for the " advanced " women who want, as -Mr. Frederic Harrison says, to be " abortive men," to vote, and to ride astraddle, and to discuss " The Kreutzer Sonata," and a strong sympathy for the women who desire culture, and gain- ful work, and control of their own money — we think we may say confidently that to the latter, their grand profession, marriage, is in no way debarred. Attractions for attractions, they are courted just as much as their foolish sisters., They are flirted with less, 'partly because very young men demand in those they flirt with a certain• amount of silliness, so that in flirting there may bo no demand upon the intellect, and partly because of a fault of manner of which we speak below; but they receive just as many serious pro- posals. The men who can marry, and who nowadays are usually 33—a social misfor- tune, owing mainly to the late period at which the successful now retire from active life—are men of a certain 'experience, and y no means fools. They, are attracted by good looks, whether in the foolish or the wise virgins, andare carried away by unusual beauty, as they were' in the days of Helen, and will be when the world cools ; but they are quite conscious of the advantage possessed by the sensible and the cultivated. They know what terrible bores ignorant • girls can be_..w' aet mean by "rgao"„ace ” niere want of famiii-- arity with learning—how utterly unreason- able they often are, and hpw muchmore liable they aro in middle life to grow acrid, snappish, or positively ill-tempered. There is no one so perverse as the woman without intellectuapl interests whose situation hap- pens to be at variance with her ideas of comfort, or who, being comfortable; is con- scious of the faint contempt, or rather, slight avoidance of those around her. • Women are perfectly well aware when men listen from politeness alone, and those 'among them to whomthat lot falls grow as bitter as some disappointed spinsters. The men of thirty-three know perfectly well how great a part friendship plays in married life, how it deepens affection, and how diffi- cult it is to feel friendship for a woman whose early charm has passed, who does not understand one word in aix you say, and who can neither sympathize with failure nor understand why you have suc- ceeded. Camaraderie, one of ,the' most delightful of all the one of union, is impossible between the able and the silly. The men, too, are aware that it is the clever girls, not the simpletons, who are free from the senseless extravagance which is perhaps, of all the foibles which are not exactly vices, the most permanently irritating in wives. That thing, a least, culture has donee for the majority of cultured women, it has taught them how to count. Here and there, perhaps, may be found the " Nina " of Mr. Norris' clever story, "'Matrimony," the competent and cultured woman to whose selfihsness expen- diture seems a necessity, and who is only not extravagant when she has six thousand a year, who will plunder her father without remorse, and keep her mother without a shilling ; but the immense majority of culti- vated girls are economical. Frugality is their road to independence. They could not live their lives if they cost their fathers too much, and they learn to know the value of pounds, to avoid debt with horror, and to see that discount is allowedthem if they pay ready -money. They are not, per- haps, devoted to "housekeeping" as some of the unlettered are, meaning, three times out of five, endless and harrassing inter- ference with their servants ; but they can keep house, when they know their incomes, at an outlay well within them. The hien understand that by a .kind of instinct, Our system ,of courtship allowing little chance of - real knowledge—the American system .does, and the Canadian—and they •know, too, another thing which appeals still more directly to their self-love. They know what it is to be bored. There is no bore on earth equal to the woman whp can neither talk nor listen, who has no mental interests in common with her hus- band, who thinks his friends satirical because they attend to her- with a faint sense of amused amazement, and who gathers round her all women except, those whose intelligence relieves life of its monotony and sense of strain. —London Spectator.

You see it's sort of private—in fact, it's a peep into my neighbor's window. There, old fellow, don't look shocked. It's all right. The people don't mind it a bit, for they never draw the curtains ; and sometimes they tell baby to throw kisses across at me. You see there are only three of them in the family —a big, boyish papa, and a pretty little mamma, and a baby. He goes to bed early, baby does, and every night I sit and watch them undress him. First, papa takes him on his knee and, clumsily unfastens the little dress and tries to pull it off down over.,baby's feet, as though it were a pair of Trousers. Then the mother screams and laughs and tells papa that he is wrong again, and then papa tries it the other way and catches the frock • on the baby's head somehow. Little mother shows just how it should be done and slips the plump little arms out of the sleeves, and then she folds the garrnentnd hangs it over a chair Then cone some petticoats, and papa gets them off over baby's feet all right, only he bungles a little over the safety pins which fasten them. The shoes and stockings come off next, and baby helps at that and kicks 'them off himself, and then he squirms out of his little knitted shirt,, and sits there all pink and sweet upon papa's knee. Papa laughs and tosses him up, and mamma •clasps her hands and baby throws kisses over to me. I tell you it is a sight for a, lonesome bachelor, old man. Why 1 it must be about baby's bedtime now.
