Framed in our old verandah chair (Tho.seaside air and sunset braving), She seems a picture, still and fair. Her fan of feathers scarcely waving;' Dressed all in crimson, from tho slip Of airy gauze that crowns her tresses, To satin shoe's embroidered tip (Her stockings always match her dresses). Sosweet she looks, one half believes She must bo some Venetian lady ■ Come back to life (with hanging sleeves) From marble palace, grim and shady. Some people think she is a dunce, And somo find fault with her complexion; You do not seo these faults nt once. But only after, long reflection. .. AM near her bends.the man of LawHeavy his brow with mystic learning; His I fingers trifle with a straw; His eyes are dark, and sad, and burning. Perhaps he speaks a tender word Or frngment of some old love ballad; But this is all I overheard: "The proper way to make a salad—" . . —Mrs. James Glenny Wilson. THE SUFFRAGIST LEADERS. , Does any woman ever admire, to tho verge of idolatry, any other woman of similar attainments and interests? (asks the correspondent of an Australian paper). Probably there are cynics of both sexes who would answer'this question with an unhesitating negative, and support their conviction with many facetious illustrations. Well, they should hoar the • unrestrained enthusiasm (privately expressed—not in the .. calculated language of public compliment) with which eome of the suffragists speak of-Miss Christabel Pankhurst, Miss Gawthorpe, Miss Ogston, and others '.among their leaders and strategists. One .is solemnly assured that these young ladies are "consecrated" to the cause, and that nothing , short of serious illness, which seems sufficiently remote from all of them—physically they thrive on'agitation—will bo permitted'to deflect them a hair's breadth from the heroic cause they have assigned themselves. They aro prepared to continue their work for years at high pressure, if necessary. Marriage ? "Novorl They will never think of it—at least until.their work is done,"- we are assured. Men may admire; but they must keep off a good arm's length if .they wish to avoid being snubbed and frozen to the marrow. "Oh, rubbish!" said ; an experienced society matron (who is acquainted with tlie entiro sisterhood), when theso assertions were passed on to her for private criticism the other day. ''No, not even ■■ Christabel will, hesitate an instant when the kind of man presents himself." Miss Christabel is still under 30, and very pretty. She is one of tho few women whose photographs dft, ttsa justice. ' The now Anti-Suffrage League is progressing rapidly from embryo to full growth, says a London paper. It i 3 composed of men, and its aims_ and objects aro indicated by its title, which reads thus:."Men's League for opposing Women Suffrage." The presidency has been accepted by Lord Cramer, who took the chair at the first meeting, which was held in tho Caxton Hall—hitherto tho stronghold of tho militant suffragettes—but the offices of the league are in Palaco Chambers, Bridge Street. , Scares and wet-blankets have been somewhat sparely distributed of hto by our friend "Tho Lancet," but in its last issue it displayed something of its old form by associating golf with irritability and mental disturbances. To have discovered the dangers and disadvantages of this' popular sport at r.n earlier stage would have been no fun nt all. might have put people off. No, the satisfaction consists in letting things go on till folk arc well within the grip of the craze, or habit, or whatever it may bo, and then descending on them with awful, pictures of what it will do for them. Everybody golfs now, so tho psychological moment had arrived for scaring them, and the erstwhilo gay golfer will now set forth : with the uneasy feeling that maybe, after all, he is racking his nerves, spoiling his temper, and gonerallv upsetting his equilibrium when he hies to the link.'i.—"Ladies' Pictorial."
