the city create impossible barrier be-
tween the honorable young man and do
mestic life. The whole matter il summed
up in this. The salaried man can not keep
up house in the style mat responsibility
requires, so he abandons the attempt. A
nice young man was questioned on this
point not long since, which brought out
these facts. In the first place, il he married,
it must be in what is termed good society,
such as the town is filled up with, and as can
furnish plenty of charming wives. But sec
ondly, it was inconsistent with his self-re-
spect and sense of honor to ask any young
woman to marry him unless he could offer
her as good q home as he asked her to leave.
He would live in decenl style, or not at all
as the head of household. He did not wish
to be extrsvsgant, but such a
moderate house as would meet his
decently furnished could not be had for
much less than 10000, and the cost of liv-
ing in proportion cannot fail short Of $3.50 or
$1,000 a year. That settles the ques
ton of getting married. 1t can't be
thought Of The fortune must be
made first and by the time that is
done the man is confirmed old bachelor
wholly averse to changing his habits Of life.
The old fashioned idea of marrying poor and
getting rich afterwards is repudiated by
both the young men and young women.
The latter agree with the former that they
must start out with all the appearances of
fortune such as it should take years to ac-
quire. In short, the young men who on
their salaries can pass very well in society,
cannot afford to marry. There is one
other element which has no trifiing
influence to repel the disposition to
matrimony in the minds of men. That is
the tendency of women to push into what
they call the field Of reform, of women's
rights and women's suffrage. The work Of
these innovating women so far as its influ-
snce goes is antagonistic to marriage. No
man of high and manly spirits will consent
to incur the chances of being tied to a
woman suffragist, or itinerant lecturer, OF
public character in the person Of his wife.
The charm and grace of womanhood are
broken by the noise and clamor of the day
which comes from the convention makers.
They may be right and may sue
eeed in taking the field of mems
pursuits, but it will be at the cost
marriage and that domestic sanctity which
characterized the best years Of the nation. 1t
is a question whether the extravaganza of
the swell weddings is not doing great mis-
chief The children of wealth have a right to
do as they please with their own. A few are
rich and can sustain the fashion of the day.
But it is also the fashion for those of moder-
ate means to affect the same style, and to
consider that not respectable which falls
short of it. All OF which is very bad for So
ciety at large, for the truth is that the people
who have money enough to eschew frugality
are not very numerous and are becoming
fewer every day 4 n

THE LADIES DICUSS THE MEDICAL
Sciences.

THE LADIES DICUSs THE MEDICAL
SCiENCES.
At a recent meeting of the board of mana
gers of the Orphans Asylum, the ladies be-
came involved in very animated discus
sion over scientific question. The subject
was the much-vexed question of the rival
medical schools of allopathy and homeo-
pathy. The Orphan Asylum has been re-
ceiving, ever since its foundation, its
medical treatment from the
allopathic physicians, who have
given their services free. The homeopath-
lists thought they would go one better and
made an offer to furnish the medicine with
out charge in addition to their services.
Now, the question arose among the ladies
as to which of the two parties should have
their patronage and the merits of both
schools were knowingly and theoretically
set forth by their respective advocates.
They were both pronounced the veriest
quacks and at the same time Landed to the
skies. Finally the matter came to settle
ment, resulting in a majority of about two

land, in December, 1888 To prove this
an extract from the register of the
House of Refuge was put in evidence,
showing that child named Mary Ann
Chapel was born there in December,
1888 A number of physicians certified
that Madame d Yoon had never been a
mother, and that she was not so formed
as to be able to have children.
The Appellate Court, however, af-
6rmed the judgment of the lower court,
and decided that Frederika is the daugh-
ter of the Countess d Yoon, and that the
annual allowance demanded must be
paid. Its decision is based upon the
failure of proof of the identity of the
workhouse child with Frederika, and
upon the fact that until she was twenty
two years Of age Frederika had been
always introduced and treated as the
daughter of Madame d'Yoon. The
court does not deem the certificates of
the physicians strong evidence, on ac-
count OF the age of the Countess.

lures Perhaps she waves" slowly in
walking dance, moving the lower part
of her body forward more and more with
vigorous quivstiDg, and oLce in ten
seconds starting with co nvulsion which
gradually becomes more frequent, until
/, she apparently yields and expires.
The girl at Girgeh performed very
pretty dance, which was quite a poem.
Placing cup, symbolic of temptation,
on the ground, she danced around it in
style which was perfectly Spanish,
turning the body and sinking low with
great grace aud exquisite art. The cup
appeared to exercise a terrible fascina-
ton, and she seemed afraid to drain it.
The fear was perfectly acted. Five
times without aid from her arms she al
most lsy on the ground; with her thirsty
lips just dallying with the edge, and then
rising swept 10 dance, and thrilled and
shivered, and turned and sank again.
The sixth time she had completed cir
Gle, and no longer able to resist, she ap-
preached the cup with ihrobs aud pauses,
and then without using her hand, lifted
it from the ground with her lips alone,
draining it as she rose, and the tragedy
of temptation being over merrily danced
about the room in quick step, with her
head thrown back, holding the cup all
the time in her mouth.
Then the elder girl placed a cup on
her head, and danced for long time a
great variety of movements without let
ting it fall, the same being done in turn
by the younger did not see, however,
as my fellow travellers did on another
occasion, dancing girls who while dane
ing made cups run from the head down
the side of the face, along the arms and
back; as a skilled Hercules in a circus
makes cannon balls travel around him.
This is, however, rather juggling than
dancing Sometimes a stick is used in
these performances. Sometimes the two
girls dance duo; and | have seen this
made quite as improper, though not so
sickly sentimental, as in any opera house
in Europe, when the balerina falls back
in the male objects arms, eyeing him
with leering smile, while she lifts one
leg to the gallery.
There are 'Awalim and Awalim, and
Gbawazi and Ghawazi. Some are mere
peasant girls who work by day and
dance by night; and others are low caste
and dance coarsely, with a male jester
occasionally taking part in the perform.

jumping with the legs. There is just
the same difference in their dancing and

FREDERIKA SMITHS STORY.



MOiher Oentts h-r own Daughter.
A singular case was recently tried be-
fore the Appellate Court in Paris.
Madame 'Yoon is fashionable woman
who has lived in the Rue Ge la Chaise
since the year 1872 when she married
her second husband, the Count d'Yoon
Her first husband, an Englishman, Mr.
Samuel Smith, had died in London
seven years before, aud when his widow
was married to the Count she had with
her little girl aged about nine years of
age, called Frederika, supposed to be
the issue OF the first marriage
Frederika was educated with great
care at the Sacred Heart, aud when she
became young lady, Madame d Yoon
introduced her into the fashionable so
cieiy of the Faubourg St. Germain. In
1856, Frederika wished to marry young
Boston officer, De Tremogain, who was
very much in love with her. Madame
d Yoon refused her consent, for although
the yonng man was of an old family he
was poor. Frederika then left her home
and went to the Convent of Piepus
She sought to oblige the Countess to pay
an annual allowance Of 5000 toward her
support Madame d'Yoon replied that
Frederika was not her daughter, but that
she was a charity child, taken from one
of the work houses in London. The
Court decided against the Countess on
the ground that having taken care Of
Frederika up to that time she was bound
to still contribute to her support.
Frederika married De Trenogain, and
Immediately afterward the annual pen
sion was stopped by the Countess. In
1870, NJ De Tremogain was killed in one
of the battles of the Loire, leaving the
widow with four children. Frederika
then renewed her claim to an annual al
lowance of 5000 against the Countess.
On the trial of the case testimony was
given showing that in the year 1894, DR..
Perkins, who was her family physician,
met Mrs Smith, now the Countess d Yoon,
on vessel going rom Antwerp to Eng
land, aud that at that time the Countess
was soon about to become mother; that
DR.. Perkins saw Mrs Smith a month
later in Brussels when she presented an
infant child who was with her as her
daughter. and told him that she had
been confined when in London. The
Smiths continued to live in Brussels
until the death Of Mr.. Smith IN 1886
In 1885 the members of the family, ac
cording to the official records in that
city. were: Samuel Smith, gentleman,
aged 30; Mary Ann Smith, his wife, aged
25. and their daughter Frederika, aged

time Of Frederika's disagreement with
the Countess about the young officer she
wished to marry, no one had ever sup
