THE ladies of the royal family of Rus
sia are said to be among the most beau
tiful women in Europe.
AMONG ladies IN London, writes a
fashionable correspondent, there Is
perfect rage for black silk stockings.
The most bahful girl we ever heard
of was the young lady who blushed
when she was asked if she had not been
eourting sleep.
THE rotund maiden of the period,
dressed in the fashionable Iow-necked
party dress, looks like an oyster on the
half-shell-pale, pulpy and peaceful.
A MEMPHIS young lady went into con-
vulsions of fear at seeing snow figure
at the corner of street, and the doc
tors say her nerves are seriously injured.
MANY ladies in Washington hold their
receptions in the morning, when dan
cling is introduced. In fact, the late
hours are not quite fashionable There
are none to lose by this but the physi-

A sCHooI-BoY's TOAST: "The Girls
May they add charity to beauty, sub
tract envy from friendship, multiply
genial affections, divide time by indus
try and recreation, reduce scandal to it's
lowest denominations, and raise virtue
to its highest power. +"
SOMEBODY writing in the London
Globe talks about the unpopularity of
woman" He declares that there are
more bachelors than there used to be;
that women have lost the charms of pa
tience, modesty, unselishness, and ten
derness, and that, consequently, "old
maids are swarming everywhere, and
making the earth weird and dreary
desert.
In BAYARD, 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: Just think of having such
an energetic girl for wife, you grace
full, swallow-tailed chaps down in Amer
lea! 1t takes Lake Superior lasses to
do the thing up in style"
A CELEBRATED singer, Madame lie
ROchois, was giving a younger compan-
flsat
character of Medea, which she was
about to sustain. 3" Inspire yourself
with the situation, =" said she fancy
yourself in the poor woman's place If
you were deserted by a lover whom you
adored, what would you do?" The re-
ply was as unexpected as it was ingenu-
Gus: Il should look out for another"
INSTEAD of inviting their lady friends
to go " coasting in Canada, the young
men ask the girls to go tObOgganing..
The toboggan, in it's highest develop
ment, is six or seven feet long and twen-
tv inches wide. It 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.
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 a 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
consequence, 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-
Ience 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 where
lard would have answered every pur'
pose. Another refused a 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 nueh, they
may lay their money out on right-or
wrong-artistic principles. A woman
who understand and knows how to ap-
ply few general principles. such as
have tried to point out, may often spend
half as much as her friend who gives
herself over to her dressnaker and emp
ties her purse by exhausting the last
fashion book.
{" We are told again that ladies think
too much about dress. I should say
that they think too little, or rather they
don't think all. If 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 those
astonishing combinations which rob the
fairest women Of half their charms,
aad expose ruthlesslv the weak points
OF their less favored sistere. But as
in spite OF Quaker and philosophers
women are likely to money and time
over their dress to the end Of the chap
