COQUETTES AND CONQUESTS. n Who Play The mere suffering which a man und*r- fpes at the hands of a coquette is not In its ilrat effects so greatly to be deprecated. It is in the consequence* that lies the deepest tnrong which the in«ino«re woman deea to Itu man who lovas her. For the distrust of her whole sex which grows upon him, and the conviction that neither she nor her kind are worthy of the best that is. in his oajtun, *nhe is responsible. The disdain woioh he may feel toward her oanbot greatly injure liim. But the spirit in which he regards lie tendenoy in his nature which looks 1 to •iroman for the truest support of his life, iiad the syBtematio hardening of those qualities in him whioh reach out instinotive- !.y to the feminine side of humanity, are jjoul hurts, which are not healed when the pain of the deoeived love has passed. His judgment of the whole sex cannot fail to be biased by bis experience of the woman who has most deeply interested him. Thus it is that the ooquette, by lowering tha whole standard of womanhood in the eye* of man, injures her own sex as well as the otiier. The forma of ooquotry are infinitely varied, and some of thorn aro muoh more reprehensible than othors. The woman who undertakes oonquoatfl simply for the glory of displaying ot the whoolH of lww chariot the oaptlre sho holds by tlio rosy bonds of love ia the commonost typo. Ai her coquetry ia of the most patent kind, it« wounds are rarely savere or laHtinq, and vet th«a is a oertain vulgarity about thin spirit of conquest which iutikofl this typjj of women dangerous to both nion find w<>- A more subtle and disnntrouB influence in wielded by the woman who is bont o» tho scientific analysis of tho various offootfl pro- duced by the tender passion on mon ol different character and nnturo. She baa little pigeon-holes niarkod with dlfleront characteristic namos, and into thoiw flh6 classifies every now Bpe-cimon.

Never peprhaps i n the whole history o* female oostume has dress exercised a more powerful and widespread dominion than i n the last half of the nineteenth century. More than one explanation ma j be given for this, fcmay be traced prbiwttiiy t o the Influence and example of' one beautiful iroman at the head of society and In the capital which from time intmemcnrUl has been the centre and startl&g'print of fashion. 1 Th e ascendancy of the Se«««d Empire was paramount in matters of taste. The Empress Eugenie swayed the social world of Europe more effectively than Napoleon III: the politioal. A Jjfngle olr- ctunstance wilffeuffioiently prove this. Her adoption of a wide skirt at once reintro- duced the fashion of hoops and brought about the reign of hideous oriaoUne. This is so far the last instaooe of the effect a single individual i n high plaoe jOan produsa upon an imitative orowd. |, Social history, indeed, is full of such oases—of the patch first applied to hide an ugly wen ; of cushions carried to equalize strangely d o formed hips; of long skirts, to cover ugly feet, and long shoea t o hido an exoreeoeno* on the toe. Tha well-known oaae of the Isabeau l&co may also be quoted here; the yellowish-white dbigy ooWea la^i (fore- shadowing probably the, coffoe-ooWd la<W of recent days), whioh AirtShditike Albert'* queen made «he fashloji when Ot« swore •he would not change her UneH tu) Ostend was taken ; an oath which ntust haY* Boa* her muofc, at \ the siege, nnlnoklly fbir ha* oomfort, lasted three years.\ Th* authority of the Empress Eugenie was not limited, however, to the popularization of the crino- line. It also devolopod enormously the rage for amart clothes. Tho Bmprona droev- ed magnificently and with lavish expondU tore herself, and sho expeotod evwrjr ono ibout her to do the siune. lik e Klijiaboth, queen of Philip II., nko seldom if ever wore the same dress twice. It WM dis- pleasing to her when poople'a wardrobof were meagre. Nassau Senior tells us in bis ' Conversations ' that sho had a wonder- ful memory, and often displayed It b j jrif]ing some unfortuuato \woman thai she had admhod a oertain droHp already.

MODERN TBIAL BY ORDEAU A gentlaman, who, aonw yo«a ago Mted M surgeon to mrml friendly sooktlM in Ilia Otntnty of Durham, relates tha follow- ing anecdote, whioh ooooned betwwn him and one of his rustic ooartituents. JL mem- ber ot an Odd fellows' lodge came one evening for advlo* si the usual hour of oonsoltation. The symptoms ware duly detailed, and the surgeon prescribed a, mix- ture whioh contained two graip* of tartrate of antimony In eight oonws of water. The patient on arriving hom« took a doa* of hia, medieine, but WM annoyed to find that it had so little taste, and that moreover it presented no aolid material tp bo ahaken np. On submitting the botUa to hia wife, she also, on tasting, pronounoad It to ba \ nowt but wetter.* He then tookToounsel with some of hia brethren, who were naf very favorably disposed toward the doctor, and, yielding to their advloe, entered a complaint to tho lodge. In due time the doctor woeived from the flaeretery a notto* to attend and answer Brother Jones'* ohafge to the effect that he had boon sup- plied with water Instead of medlebM. In rfply to this noUoo the surgoon askad tha Becontary to fattlmate to the aggriaved bxolhtt that It would b« neosMary to havo the medlatra produoed in order that he might have a fair ohanoa of rabntttng th« obATga, Wh*n tha night arrived tt*v« WM a goodly ftttendano« of memb«ira, «od tb« Zodgt. having b«en fonmlly op«n«d, JTon«a wa^/iak4d to at«md forth and prefer bit ohafgs against tha doctor, wbioh ho did r alleging that, the bottle produced WM given to him for raodiouio, and'ooaUinsd nothing but water.
