WOMEN AS “PAMPERED T0YS” Distinguished ~ French Abbe Makes Som’ Sharp Commentaries on Sex Relations in America. American Women expect (very right- 1y) from their husbands the same at- tention which French husbands receive | from thelr wives. The American’ hus- band expects 'nothing, and for what he receives' the Lork makes him truly thankful, writes Ernest Dinnet, in Har- per’s. “We are pampered toys,” an Ameri- can lady told me in a distinctly resent- ful tone, “but we only know it when our husbands, after keeping every trouble from us, suddenly die.”” If the abstraction called the Ameri- can woman could be met with, I should ask her whether she really likes to see a dozen men in her drawing room up with military precision the moment she half rises to ring the bell ; whether she would not ‘prefer her escort ‘to think of what he is saying to her in- stead” of concentrating on where she walks, skipping to the unprotected side of her the whole time; or whether she likes being supported across the road with infinite precautions, as if she were a very {ll person or a very brittle object; or, on the contrary, firmly grasped below the shoulder and wafted i to the other side’ with the triumphant ease of ‘long‘ practice. N I:have Lept a picture representing three exceedingly widely known Amer- ican men watching a lady go down a deck stalrway. She is spoken of as a sportswoman and would probably think nothing «of scrambling down a rope ladder,if it amused her. The steps on which she appears are broad and comfortable, but the gentlemen smile at her achievement with the were a baby for the first time off the go-cart. Meanwhile the lady herself smiles in her furs like coy Phoebe be- tween two clouds, ' RARE FRUITS IN PHILIPPINES Two That Are Said to Be Delicious and Unknown in the Rest of the World. Among the productions of the Phil- ippine islands are two delicious fruits almost unknown in the rest of the world. One. of these i9 the durian, whose remarkable qualities were des- canted upon by Alfred Russel Wal- lace during his explorations in the Malay archipelago. resembling an elm, is about as large as a coconut, has a shiny shell, and contains a treamy pulp which com- bines some of the flavor of a delicious custard with those of a finé cheese. To eat durians, we are told by those a voyage to the East to experience. Americans in the islands call the du- rian “the vegetable Lithburger cheese.” The other rare fruit spoken of is the mangosteén, said to be the only fruit that the governor general of the fis- lands has never tasted. The®exquis- ftely flavored liquid it contalns can- not be preserved for shipping abroad. Circulating the Scriptures. The 1919 issues of the American Bi- bie society were 3, 309 volumes. The sun never sets on the representa- tives of this socicty, which asserts that some one is busy the day and every dny of the year cir- culating the Scriptures. This total means that seven volumes were issued every minute of every hour of every day af the year. The issues of 1919 were the small- est since 1911; chiefly because of after war conditions. The average of annual issues for the last ten years has been over 5,000,000 volumes. For the period of the war, 1914-1019, it was over 5870,000, which means that | on an average 11 volumes of Scrip- tures were issued every minute of the | years of the war by the American Bi- ble society. New llluminator. Prof. Alexander Silverman has fin- vented a new illuminator for the mi- | croscope, whose special advantage is that it gives a very strong light upon ol and translucent Dbodies can be as readily studied as transparent ones. The top of the object on the side can be seen with all the variations of its surface. It s particularly valuable in testing samples of metals since It shows the préesence of blow holes and visible. It is likewise useful to tex- tile experts since It shows the threads also much appreclated by bacteriolo- gists. ~ T);aro’n a Ditference. “I resent the imputation that I am a member of the ‘pie brigade,’” said pits and much detafl not hitherto | ofen fabric from every angle and 1§ | Millionth of a Second.
