Women Wearing Pantalettes Again.

Tn, St. Louis Republican has a lady cor
respondent in New York who talks like one
who ''knows the ropes" Here is aspecimen
of her style: Hamlet never dreamed of
surcoat so crusted with jet as we shall sport
this spring. Jet fringes, laces loaded with
tiny jet beads, silk breaking down with their
glittering masses of embroidery. Next to
spangles jet is the showest ornamentation,
and spangles will come with the fall, l fully
believe. Then we have low cut shoes, with
fancy stockings, and oh F! another sweet thing,
paptalettes. You can show 'em in the spring
there's so many muddy places. They must
be wide. elaborately trimmed with lace frills
and embroidery, and reach the ankle. They
are touching, and when worn with thin and
queer foot handles, very becoming. To be
sure the irreverent youth who enjoyed the
privilege of taking me to the Charity ball be-
held these pantalettes for the first time be-
meath the raised train Of belle. 1 was too
late to interfere. He rushed forward, and in
the most mysterious manner whispered to her
she was closing 'em off," No words can
describe the look she rewarded him WIN;
Poor dear he fell back discomhttea, anu
let two or three couples pass MN, wneh ne
exclaimed. '.Why, they are q" iossns em
off," and that's the effect OF the new panta-
lettes.

II is not wise to do or say anything to
child under an Injunction not to tell. Here
Is story in point, which was reported to me
from the ladies at Fngask, Perthshire (lS53.)
A Highland family of some dignity, bat not
much means, was to receive visit from some
English relations for the first time. Great was
the anxiety and great the effo;t t. to make
tbings wear respectable appearance before
these assumedly fasUdous strangers. The
! iady mad eontrived to get up pr tty good
dlnner; but, either from an inculyent ulspo-
, sitlon, or from some defect in her set of ser
wants, she allowed her SON Bobby. a LITTLE
boy, to be present, instead of remaDdino him
to the nursery. But little was she aware of
Sobby's power OF torture.
Bobby, who was dressed in new Jacket
and pair of buff-colored trousers, had pre-
viously received strict iDjunctions to sit at ta-
Bile quietly, and on no account join in con-
versation. For little while he carrie out
these Instructions BY sitting perfectly quiet
till the last guest had been helped to soup,
whereupon, during a slight lull in the gener-
al conversation, Bobby quietly SAID:
Il want some soup, mamma"
You can't be allowed 10 have any soup,
boDoy. You must not be always asking for
things"
IF you don't give me some soup lmmedi-
The lady seemed little troubled, and, in
steau OF sending Bobby out of the room,
quietly yielded to his demand Soup being
removed and fish introduced, there was a
fresh demand.
Mamma, l want some sea-fsh'' Ia rarity
in the Highlands)
Bobby" said the mother, "you are very
forward. ''You can't get any fish. You
must sit quietly, and not trouble us so much"
'Weli, mamma. if don't get some fish
mind I'll tell yon!"
20 Bobby, you're plaguer' and then shs
gave him the fish.
A little further on in the dinner, Bobby,
observing his papa and the guests taking
VINE, was pleased to break in once more:-
Papa, would like glass of winep
BY this time. az might well be supposed,
the attention OF the impany had been pret-
ty fully drawn to Bobby, about whom, in al.
probability, there prevailed but one opinion,
The father was irritated at the incident
"B 'bby, you must be quiet you can have
no wine."
''Well, papa, if 1 don't get som. wine,
mind III tell yOnP'
"You rascal, you shall have no winep'
You had better do it, an>were b ,bby,
hrmly. "Once, twice-will you give me the
wine? Come now, mind PE tell yon! OIce
twice"
The father looked canes and lashes at his
progeny. Bobby, however, was not to be
daunted.

A Strong Letter against lncrematiOn.

4. j. CAswELL-Deor Sir: With rega'd
to cremation all have to say Oh the subject
is:
First. That am far more interested in
people being well born than in the method of
their burial, and entertain the opinion that
all organized efforts she ulo be to the physical,
mental and moral well being of the race. and
hence any agitation for a change in the dis
posal of the remains seems to me to be waste
ful.
Second. The method of disposing of the
dead depends very largely upon the religious
faith of the people. So long as the Iesurrec-
ton OF the body is cardinal doctrine ol the
Christian religion it will be idle to attempt
any movement for a return to the pagan
method. No matter what sentimental. sani-
tary, or scientific reasons could be urged, they
will weigh as nothing against a custom found
ed upon a religious creed and what is to us
in memorial habit.
Third; II it were possible, however. gen.
orally to change the method of disposing Of
human remains, / should oppose cremation
as being waste of material which might be
utilized by SO disposing of the corpse as to
odd tl,r fcrrifity of sOii.
Fnn rih. In WOW OF the sparseness of our
population do not see how there can be any
embarrassment in finding cemeteries and
graveyards enough for all who are likely to
die in this country within the next ten CEN
turtles. Yours very truly, d. G. CRoLY.

MINISTER JEWELL at the court of the Czar
OF Russia writes very readable letters to his
friends at home, but not in very diplomatic
language. For instance:
Do | like it? Well, some. Don't believe
l should want to spend my life here though.
Ii is great thing to see fol a time, and find
my colleagues pleasant people and the social
life OF inc oors is enjoyed for time. In all
the elements of strength and greatness Amer
lea is so far ahead of Europe that the contrast
is painful. So my eyes constantly turn
towards Hartford after all. But / read a
great deal of politics and write many letters
and hear from home daily almost. When l
next come to Rochester l shall havl some
thing to talk about. You know the lack o!
talk is my failing. Esther don't fancy it very
much. The girls like it tole; ably well, but |
can see would soon tire of it. We d. not
find so much intelligence as we art used to,
or so much to talk about. IL is mostly grand
dukes, opera, dress and flap doodle generally.
We have beautiful apartments and entertain
good deal, and so fill up the time. ] find
my official intercourse delightful, as the Rus
slams like us very much indeed. Believe me,

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.-In
bidding farewell to the Strakosch Opera
Troupe, as it is at present constituted, a
hearty word of praise should not be overlook
ed Tor one who has earned success under a
coube burden. While the other leading
parts have been divided between two artists,
Nilsson and Torriani, Campanini and Capoul,
Maurel and Del Puente, Nannetti and Soda
ra, Miss Cary has alone supported the pecul-
iarly difficult work imposed in the contralto
roles This exceptional season. She has sung
at nearly every representation, with both
Nilsson and Torriani, besides in the opera
concerts and has never been found wanting.
She had to take the role of Amneris in
aida" having seen no model for her acting,
and In "Lohengrin'' the part of Ortrud was,
in many respects, the most difficult-certain-
ly the most thankless-of all. Her vigor,
ease and grace have always been noteworthy.
and she has become universal favorite. So
