LONELY FRENCH WOMEN.

t Nearly 2,000,000 lonely women aro living in iranco to-day, declares M. Brieux, the dramatist, in. an articlo in tho "Matin,' on which ho calls tho Woman' victims of men's tyranny. M. Brieux is the author of "La Femine Seule," now being played in Paris, and he says that ho wrote it to oxcito discussion on an important question. "Modern education for a young girl resolves itself (ho aays) into this fonnulu, that she need only learn how to please men. She learns nothing beyond a few accomplishments, and tho capacity of writing and talking so as to prevent her ignorance annoying others; in other words, slio is fitted for tha drawing-room. 'This is admirable, for those whom- it leads to marriago, but what of the others? l There are coquettes who -novel' marry, tho plain, tho intellectual to wlioso tasto the modern young man docs not appeal; thoso who expect to marry and those who expect no more, together with the widows, the divorced, and tho abandoned wives. "Tho attitude of men to these lonely women is bad. Men cannot admit that women are, if not their equal, at least their equivalent. Moro cruel than tho ancient law, tho new one reads: 'Givo thyself, or thou shalt not cat.' "A social revolution is being prepared, find it will he provoked by tho arrival on tho market of tho female nrtisan, provoked in its turn by tho timidity of young men afraid to marry without money, and rendered possible by the progress of mechanical mvoution."
