THE IDEAL WOMAN.
The Frenchman's ideal woman must be a paragon of thc domestic virtues to judge by the result of a competition organised by a Paris newspaper to establish the ten ideal qualities in woman (says the Paris correspondent of the "Daily Mail"). From tho many thousand votes received the following list has been made up:—(1) Goodness of heart; (2) Order; (3) Devotion; (4) Economy, (5) Sweetness: (6) Intelligence; (7) Amiability; (8) Fidelity; (0) Pationce; - (10) Modesty. It will be noticed that beauty does not figuro at all, while feminists will remark that intelligence comes sixth on the list.
