Notes for Women,

Remember, dear child, that woman
is made to endure and man to be en-.
dured y French authority.
| In the fall a Iivelier color comes the bonnet
top above;
In the fall a young gals fancy turns to strings
that match her glove.-Boston Traceier.
q" Aren't YOU little off collar ?" was
what Jones remarked to his wife one
night when she appeared arrayed for a
party in an extremely low-necked-dress.
| She convinced him she wasn't "Ofi
choler," anyhow.
He builded better than he knew"
remarked a shoemaker's wife about two
o'clock in the morning, as she nervOusly
grasped one of his pegged sole boots in
her right hand and patiently waited for
the sound of,his football on the stairs.
Logic-Young Wife (tO George, who
arrived home in the small hours Of the
morning)-"Wea are one, dear, now that
we are married, are we not ?" " Ger
tainly. NV darling; why ?" Young
Wife Oh, / only wanted to know be-
cause, if we are, | must have been dread
fully inebriated last night"
Bowing and smiling she crossed the street,
With a love of a tie-back on;
\ melon-rind glided from under her feet,
And then her tie-back was gone.
She rose from her seat with martyred air,
And gathered the things she wore;
She looked like one who was willing toswear
But then she never swOre.
They were husband and wife, and as
they stood before the Soldiers Mon
ument she asked: "What's that tigger
on top?" "That's a goddess" he an
swered "And what's a goddess ?"
A woman who holds her tongue" he
replied. She looked sideways at him
and began planning to make peach pie
with the pits in it for the benefit of his
sore tooth.-DetrOH Free Press.
A writer says of Ouida: This femme
de Lettres lives in Florence, III luxurious
stvle, with equipages befitting princess
of the blood. When Bayard Taylor was
once there she was invited to meet him
at dinner at the house of a countess.
She declined the invitation, saying that
she never accepted invitations to meet
celebrities, she only accepted when cele-
braties were invited to meet her. He
did not see her.
He was a lodger in an unpretentious
BROOKLYN bOarding-hOuse, and for several
DAYS the Iandlady's daughter, a scnti-
mental maiden of thirty-five, had teased
him to write something in her album.
He at last consented, and penned the fol-
lowing: As the hostility to dogs dim
inishes the quality of hash improves" "
An explanation was added III these
words: / never could make rhymes,
Miss Giles, and when | write poetry l
have to express it in prose"
1t is noted that the queen of a French
watering place is generally a foreign
lady. She mostly has title, and she IS
usually accomplished, witty, and a good
dresser. She is not often pretty. At
this moment one of her favOrite dresses
is of white Valenciennes lace, over
colored silk skirt; or else white crepe
tunic covered with three rows of fringe
over black and white striped silk dress,
with sleeves to match. A white lace
bonnet with white lace Arlesian bow at
the back.-Paris Correspondence.
The Revue des Deux Mondcs for the
1st of September contains the opening
chapters of a new novel by Octave Feuil-
let entitled " A Society Marriage" 1t
begins in graceful and interesting fashion
with the love affairs of two young peO-
pie betrothed by the efforts of an inve-
terate and amiable matchmaker, one
Mime, de la Vevle. The style is, as is
usual with this exquisiteIy graceful and
charming writer, at once sparkling and
forcible. Here is an observation culled
from the pages at random; WlthouI
being armed with very solid or very ele-
waited principles, Nine. Fitz-Gerald pos
sessed the highest degree the religion OF
ermines and of women of the world-a
horror of stains Evil was for her not
only evil, it was an impropriety. "-Par's
