Essential Virtues of Women
BL ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Th« Paris papers have been discus
sing the six essential virtues of wom
an. The result is somewhat amusing.
Economy is placed first, with 1,420
votes; fidelity and modesty each re
ceived 1,357; kindliness received 1.152
and maternal love 53 lb Cleanliness
and patience were last on the list
Here we have the acknowledgments
of the men of France, Riven by the
newspaper votes, that the* woman who
saves a man expense stands higher
in his estimation that one who is
faithful to him. A little infidelity they
do not mind, if she is economical in
her financial expenditures.

Cleanliness, too. wo uhl follow, as i

Patience, also, would he an out

ket, in the family life today. Kind
ness is the child of love, and its pedi
gree goes back to Clod.
Economy is of questionable origin.
It may be born of prudence and thrift,
but it .may be sired by avarice or born
of greed and indolence.
It is as often a virtue as a vice, and
as often a vice as a virtue. While
wastefulness is always a sin economy
is not always a virtue
he progress of the world comes, not
through saving, but through using.
