The courteous deference paid to women by all who have tho slightest claim to be considered as gentlemen Is, in the opiniou of many persons, likely to be lessened by the demands for equal rights and responsibilities made by the advanced and progressive sections of the sex. The story of the lady who, on getting into a full car riage, was met by the question from the only mule occupant as to whether or no she wasj an advocate for tho equality of the sexes, and on replying in the nttlrniativo was ir.forined she might stand during tlu remainder of the journey, in scarcely and exagger ated illustration of the feelings of not a few men. In Homo instances women appear to recognize their increasing responsibil ity, and a talo comes to us from New port respecting a grand dinner organ ized by ladies at au expeusive restau rant, where the viands were partaken of to the music of a band, ladies alone being present, tho husbands being de tained in the oity by tho inexorable claims of business or pleasure. Each lady had the somewhat novel experience of paying for hcr.sclf (with her hus oaud's money), tho feont being what is known us n "Dutch treat." Wo are further informed that the whole pro seeding wars a success, and that, even it the end of thu day, "when the feast ivas o'er," and the reckoning hud ar rived, when even men aro said "to augh no more," thero were nodefault ?rs, and 110 lady had unfortunately left her purse at homo.
