The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1873-02-27


THE ladies of the royal family of Rus
sia are said to be among the most beau
tifuI women in Europe
AMoSe ladies IN London, writes
fashionable correspondent. there IS
perfect rage for black silk stockings.
Ix BAxARD, Wisconsin, the other
night, the belle OF the evening made
the journey from her residence to the
BALLROOM on snow-shoes. WhereupOn
the Ashland Press. in its wicked pride,
exclaims: s'Just think of having such
an energetic girl for wife. you grace
ful, swallow-tailed chaps down in Amer
ical It takes Lake Superior lasses to
do the thing up in style.
A CELEBRATED singer, Madame LIE
Roehois, was giving a younger compan-
ion in art some instructions in the tragic
character of Medea, which she was
about TO sustain. Inspire yourself
with the situation, . said she; fancy
yourself in the poor woman's place. If
you were deserted by lover whom you
adored, what would you do ?" The re-
ply was as unexpected as it was ingenu-
Gus: ct should look out for another.
A WIFE of nearly ten years having Civ
en- her servant holiday, was attending
to culinary matters herself, and hearing
her husband coming TO the kitchen,
thought she would surprise him as soon
as he entered the door by throwing her
hands over his eyes and imprinting a
kiss on his brow as in the days of the
honeymoon. The husband returned the
salute with interest, and asked, as he
disengaged her hands, .'Mary, darling,
where Is your mistress p The wife dis
charged Mary, darling, the next day,
and has adopted new plan of sur
prising" her husband.
INSTEAD of inviting their lady friends
to go " eoasting in Canada, the Young
men ask the girls to go " tobogganing.
The toboggan, in its highest develop
ment, is six or seven feet long and TWEEN
ty inches wide. 1t is made Of light,
tough wood, perhaps three-eighths of
an inch IN thickness, and is furnished
with cushions, while paint, gliding, a
lamp or a string of bells are added, ac-
cording to the owners taste. In this
kind of sleigh young gentlemen and
young ladies go coasting down the steep
hillsides.
In THE Ukraine (Russia) the women
court more generally than the men.
When a woman falls in love with man
she is not IN the least ashamed to go to
his fathers house and reveal her pas
sion in the most tender and pathetic
manner, and to promise the most sub
missive obedience if he viii accept her
as wife. Should the insensible man
pretend any excuse, she tells him she
is resolved never to go ont of the house
till he gives his consent, and according-
ly, taking up her lodgings, remains
there. If he still obstinately refuses
her, his case becomes exceedingly dis
tressing. The Church is commonly on
her side, and to turn her out would pro-
woke her kindred to revenge her honor,
SO that he has no method left but to be-
take himself to flight till she is other
wise disposed of.
SPRINGFIELD. Illinois capital, is said
to be at present groaning under the ty-
ranny of servantgalism. The Amazons
of the kitchen have ''bulled" the mar
ket. and created panic in that sort of
stock. They have got up a corner
IN the aforesaid kitchen. and cannot be
hired at any price, except with condi-
/ tions that leave no doubt that Bridget
is mistress of the establishment. In
consequences, Springfield is placard
with ''Girl wanted The papers con-
tain numerous advertisements OF the
same character, and the ladies of many
households are doing kitchen work in
preference to submitting to the inso-
lence of servantgalism. A servant left
a good, paying place, the other day,
because her mistress would not permit
her to use a choice jar OF butter whore
lard would have answered every pur.
pose. Another refused situation be-
cause the family did not take the New
York Ledger. She would work for no.
body who didn't take that paper for her
especial benefit.
LADIES do not think too much about
dress. SO says that lively writer, Mrs.
NJ. Z. Haweis
Ladies are accused of spending too
much on their dress my point is that
whether they spend little or much, they
may lay their money out on right-or
wrong-artistic principles. A woman
who understand and knows how TO APP
ply a few general principles, sueh as !
have tried to point out, may often spend
half as much as her friend who gives
herself over 70 her dressmaker and emp
ties her purse by exhausting the last
fashion book.
We are told again that ladies think
too much about dress. / should say
that they think too little, or rather they
don't think all. II they thonght little
more about dress, they would waste less
time, and probably spend less money
but the result would be grace, harmony
and expressiveness, instead Of fboss
astonishing combinations which rob 3hs
fairest women Of half their charms
and expose ruthlesslv the weak points
of their less favored sistere. But as
! IN spite Of Quaker and philosophers
women are likely to money and tim
! over their dress 10 the end Of the chap
Z ter, the sterner censor may wall unit.
: with us IN hoping that not the girl o
: the period, but the woman Of the IA
tare, viii produce greater resnlts
waste less time. while bestoving NOR
thought upon the beauty and the pro
, I priesy Of her press.
