And what we call their “ca- prices” were only a new bursting forth of their strong and elemental nature. As soon as one touched their mysterious sensibility, merely ior the space of a lightning flash, their decision was taken. A new light flashed over the impassive look, the heart was opened and benevolence flowed forth. The careers of these lords of gold were well calculated to dazzle us, Al- most invariably their fortune by a founded by one stroke of daring, by a prodigious intuition for which no education seemed to have prepared them, unless it were the free and ad- venturous air which they breathed from their childhood on the soil or their fascinating country. He who in France would become a poet, in America would become a man of ac- tion. American Men Good Husbands. The American man has always en- | Joyed the reputation of being a good hsuband, indeed, the best of husbands but a good husband in a different way from that in which we under- stand it in Latin countries. ‘With us the love and respect of the husband for his wife consists above all in protecting her, in guiding her, "; ftues of initiative, ca- ¥k, confidence in him- cess and of victory. eneral traits the most spresentatives of Ameri- of gold or of copper, or r universal commodity, jsible to ordinary mortals kings and princes, gedegends well calculat- the imagination. eloyed Expression. ‘we came to know some phinxes better we found m being apart from hu- lwas, on the contrary, a eveloped and even very pression -of it. lis character which seem- : 0 outside influence and itself all its guidance j£ suddenly capable of | impulsive acts which bed as ‘“caprices” and n looking at them more celved that these “fan- | also a profound indica- 'They were not in- ose of . most of - the ‘of the Old World by a nothing can any pot, a boredom that is the words of the scrip- of vanities, all is van- nce Flowed Forth. to the contrary and y, these kings of the ned in the mold of ined, like her, full of gl of inexhaustible crea- &nd in smoothing out the difficulties of life for her. The respect and love of the American husband, on the other hand, appears to us to con- sist in leaving to the wife all her free will, and in permitting her thus the development of all her faculties. We have concluded from this, wrongly or rightly, that the Ameri- can woman held a secondary place in the life of man, that she did not'in- spire all his acts, and that she was not the unique and essential pivot of it. In France, indeed, almost always the ideal of marriage is a complete fusian of the two beings. The hus- band makes of his wife the motive and the witness of all his acts. She is his perpetual source of exaltation, of courage, of virtue and of genius. | All the great men of our country mixed with their heroism and their glory the sentimental element. This is true, not only of poets, which is very natural, but also of military heroes of statesmen, and even of men of science. And when the woman who has been like a soul to these Frenchmen is missing, it seems sometimes that life itself dies out in them, and that they have no more wish to defend themselves against ceath. My husband, who knew Victor Hugo very well, told me that he could not support the loss of his old com- panion, whom he loved for forty years and whom he honored with a sacred tenderness. When she died he was still a very robust man, although old, ly Fashion Talks " BY MAY4{MANTON A3 with Plaits at Sides, , to 32 waist. ave ain at the back and at the newest and the one that is made in| a tunic, so that it ifictly different purposes.’ E&-tunic, it is shaped to ront 2nd one =t hapings are exceed- is\made in two, hw r,ki;.talke. and ripp t ig or. all uses; as a tunic, it/ ‘charming for the indoor' her for daytime or evens also for the street suit. dium size will be required { pterial 27 in. wide, 4 yds.

It seemed that she was calling to him from the other world. And when he died, three years later, nothing had been able to beguile him from his absorption and sorrow. This example is far from beh_lg unique, or I should not have cited it, but is rather typical of the character. Another striking case is that of the great chemist, Marcellin Lerthelot. He, too, could not survive the death of her who had shared all his life. Died Same Day as Wife When she died he passed away my: teriously on the evening of the ver) same day, and no one could discover if he had taken some poison to follow her immediately (o the tomb, or if the violence of his sorrow had been sufficient to kill him.

Massena, whom we called *“the beloved chlld af victory,” was not less powerful. It was Mme. Recamier, the incomparable charmer, that he loved, and never did he engage in battle without carrying a ribbon which she had given him. On every field of battle he placed it next to his heart.

Almost never does she de- sire anything else, and thus she makes of love an ideal without bounds, in which the chimaera has as much place as the reality. But is this conception superior to the American conception, or ‘is ¥: rather the latter which is preferable? I am unable to say and feel myself incapable of deciding the question, 1 believe that each conception has the merit of being adapted to the intimate genius and morals of the race which holds it. If there is a touching beauty in love as the French conceive it, there is a grancuer and an abnegation not less touching in the American mar- riage, which seems to prepare the way for the total emancipation of woman and to admit her to perfect equality with man. Thus is realized the desire of Stendhal, who said that this equality would be the surest path to civilization, that it would double the intellectual forces of the human race and its probabilities aof happiness. the the the the FEATURE PHOTO PLAY ON KEENEY’S BILL The photo-play, John in “The Man Froin Mexico” shown at Keeney's theater last night and which will be repeated tonight is one of the most interesting film productions ever presented in this city.
