Your ArtIess woman.

There is a certain style Of woman
who affects the most innocent simplicity
on questions to which every one past
first childhood can give an answer,
whose cue is naive ignorance, whose
charm is her unenlightenment, yet who
can use her very ignorance as a trench
ant weapon enough when she is in the
humor. She has the prettiest way pos,
sible of putting you in the wrong, and
contradicts You with the least shading
and most directness Of any woman you
can meet.
Sometimes she merely makes you ap-
pear pedantic or obscure. The tone in
which she says, "Ohl you are too
clever for poor little me to talk to- and
dare say you are right, but then l am
such little goose / do not understand
you" is quite sufficient to annihilate
you for the evening, if you chance to be
Of those unlucky ones who are sensitive
as to the impression they make. She,
so simple, SO untutored, the child Of ma
ture, makes it plain to you that you have
gone on a wrong road when you have
spoken to her as to a reasonable decent
education, aid have assumed that she
possesses mind and some degree Of
instruction. She is all heart; II you
like, she can expatiate on her dear dog,
or that darling boat race; but she can
not let you think that she has ever used
the eyes of her mind, or seen anything
deeper than the selfevident superficial
tiles of life
If you talk to her on any subject be-
yond the current trivialities of the day,
she lifts up her eyebrows and says,
How oddl" And the next person to
whom she speaks hears that you are such
an extraordinary person, and have such
funny ideas Or she may ring the
changes by saying that you are SO dread
fully learned she cannot understand you
and fancy speaking of such dry sub
jects as the sun, or the state Of Spain, or
the different physiognomies of crowd,
to poor, silly, little herl
All she wants TO talk about is the
opera, or the fashions, or the latest
scandal, whatever it may be; or, failing
a scandal, the latest amusements; and
anything to make her think and use her
brain, though in the mildest way, ruffies
her serenity and transforms you into a
bore of the first magnitude.

Tore was dismissed from the Hotel
Splendide and the Hotel de Bristol, after
having run mp bills. which she failed to
pay. She ordered $4,000 francs worth
Of lingerie at tie shop of NJ. Doucet.
M. Albinet, a jeweler in the Rue de
Choiseul, suspected her of having stolen
from him ring worth $50 francs.
In 1873. Madame Della Tore was con-
demned to prison for three days by the
police court, for an improperly. In
June last the Countess rented the fur
nished hotel No. 10 Rue Lesuer, at 500
francs a months and established herself
therein with fifteen dogs and seventeen
cats. Her only resources apparently,
were derived from a sum of 1870 francs a
month received from Italy. By stating
her income as much larger, and making
a skillful use of her name and title, she
obtained large credit. The complaint
against her was made by nine tradesmen
whom she had deceived.
At the trial, Madame Della Tore as
serted that she had some means in Italy,
and produced papers 10 show that she
had Influential relations with many per
sons Of her family. She denied that
she had any intention to defraud her
creditors.
After hearing NJ. Marriage for the
prosecution, and NJ Mont du Taigny for
the accused, the court sentenced the
Countess Della Tore to one years i'm
prisonment, and to pay a fine of 500
francs.
