THE ALEXANDRA LIMP.
something 10 succeed the GreCian
Bend.

Alexander the Great, as history informs
US, had a slight imperfection inthe setting
on of his head, which inclined a little to
one side. His courtiers, therefore, felt it
incumbent on them to affect awry necks,
and did so, accordingly. Alexandra,
Princess of Wales. has unfortunately con-
tracted a limp from rheumatism; and
now, as we hear, the liege ladies of Eng
land have taken to imping, too, and
''halt ~ is the latest command given by
fashion. That the Alexandra limp" viii
find its way hither ere long is a thing TO
be expected, and, indeed, it is stated TO
have already made its appearance on our
fashionable prOmenades. The desired
limp is obtained simply by wear
ing shoes with heels Of unequal height,
and the deformity thus produced is no
greater than that which charaCtcrizcs the
''Grecian bend" A necessary accompa-
niment of the Alexandra limp will be
a walking-c cane, which will be very ap-
prOpriate for the walking-dOlls that adopt
the gait The fashion, of course, will
lead to a modification OF most of urpres-
cnt dances and the invention of new ones.
LOp-sided waltzes will have to be devised,
and in doing the German crutches will
probably come to be the proper thing. As
the skating season is at hand, it would be
a neat idea to carry out the Alexandra
limp" on ice. We have had ever so many
good things con ice" already, and why
not the 'limp.i The girls of the period
are capable of acting on any of these sug-
gestions, and they should by all means be
gin to have their balmorals altered at once,
if not their morals

"FETCH HER OUT"
A Rare and blessed Spectacle ia CAL
ifOrnia Twenty Years Ago.

A Rare and blessed Spectacle in Call
ifOrnia Twenty Years Ago.
In those days, men would flock in
crowds to catch a glimpse of that blessed
spectacle, a woman! Old inhabitants tell
how, in a certain camp, the news went
abroad early in the morning that woman
was come They had seen a calico dress
hanging out of a wagon down at the
camping ground-sign of emigrants from
over the great plains. Everybody went
down there, and shout went up when an
actual bona fide dress was discovered flut-
tering in the wind? The male emigrant
was visible. The miner said: ''Fetch her
out! He said: cit is my wife, gentle
men-she is sick-Wc have been robbed
Of money, provisions and everything, by
the lndians-We want rest" ''Fetch her
Quit We've got to see herl" That was
the only reply He 'fetched her out, "
and they swung their hats and sent up
three rOusing cheers and tiger; and they
crowded around and gazed at her and
touched her dress, and listened to her
voice with the look of men who listened
tc memory rather than a present reality;
and then they collected 81, 500 in gold
and gave it TO the nan, and swung their
hats again and gave three more cheers,
and went home satisfied. A year or two
ago l dined in San Francisco with the
family Of a pioneer and talked to his
daughter, a young lady whose first expe-
Tience in San Francisco was an adventure,
though she herself did not remcmberit, as
she was only two or three years old at the
time. Her father said that, after landing
from the ship, they were walking up the
street, u servant leading the party, with
the little girl in her arms. And presently
huge miner, bearded, belted, spur
red and bristled with deadly weapons
just down from long mining campaign
in the mountains, evidently barred the
way, stopped the servant, and stood gaz-
ing, with face all alive with gratifica-
ton and establishment Then he said
reverently: ''Well, if it amt a child"
And then he snatChed little leather sack
out of his pocket and said to the servant:
There's a hundred and fifty dollars in
dust there, and I'll give it to you to let
me kiss the child" That anecdote is
true. But see how things change Sit
ting at that dinner table, listening to ihat
angcdote, if l had offered double the
money for the privilege of kissing the
the same child, would have been refused.
Seventeen added years had far more than
doubled the price
