The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-09-20
The Ladies of Poland.

The Polish ladies are very beautiful,
perhaps the most beautiful in the world
They retain in middle-life, the freshness
of girls, and make me think of New
England women lowing scarcely know
to what air of superiority and the pos
session of what divining instincts pecu-
liar in greater or less degree to all wom-
en), and this in spite of the fact that
New England women do lose their clear
compilations and rosy cheeks, and in
spite of the fact that the Polish ladies
have withal slightly Hibernian cast of
countenance, including noses, the i'm
pertinent tips of which do turn up Just a
little. But they are evidently self-re-
speeding creatures, who know what they
are about, careful to observe all the pro-
prieties, never firth g in public if they
do in private, and walking the streets
in a quiet, dignifed manner, as if they
were disdainful, if not unconscious, of
their charms. They are not possessed
either of dollish or masculine faces, as
the English and American ladies often
are; they are not vOluptuous or black
proved like their sisters of France and
Spain, but queenly sort of
women, tall and graceful, and possessed
of a colder type of beauty than blooms
on the Mediterranean-at type of beauty
that makes me think of marble statues,
Damascus blades and aurora bOrealis.
By the way, Bayard Taylor says he saw
more handsome faces in one hour at the
Warsaw races than he saw elsewhere
during two years in Europe, and l do
not doubt it. Moreover, l have never
been in any country where the relations
of the men and women of the upper
classes seemed so high-toned; and | am
sure that a stranger entering the best
society of Warsaw would have to ac-
knowledge the most chivalrOus devO-
ton on the part of the men and the most
gracious, yet dignified, appreciation Of
it on the part of the women he had
ever witnessed. To acquire good man.
ners and to see human intercourse al
its best, should rather go to Warsaw
than to London, Washington or Paris

Circumventing Royalty.

Short armed Tom Perkins was, scion
of the best and bluest stock of Boston.
He took a fancy to visit England; his
reputation had been well established
here. and he was cordially entertained
by those to whom he had letters OF IN
PRODUCTION. No man in the States
could handle team better than he
could, whether tandem of three in line,
four-in-hand, or a coach and eight. One
day the question came up at a CLUB
where Perkins was an invited guest lie
made a bet that he could drive any
team of eight through and around Hyde
Park at a given pace. The bet was tax
en-. but one man, who had not so far
succumbed to the generous fluid which
had circulated so freely, remarked:
{" You can not drive eight-in-hand; that
is allowed only to royalty" All the
same,'' said Perkins, 81 will do 1t, and
evade the law of the Kingdom and offer
no insult to royalty" The next morn
ing coach was drawn up before the
ROYAL George Hotel with seven horses
and one mule. As might be supposed
there was crowd from all the clubs,
with whom the bold Yankee had made
many friends. Perkins bowed very po-
litely as he pointed to the number OF an
imals, assuring his friends that even the
prerogative of royalty could not make
eight horses out of his team. lie drove
off, made his PAGES, and won his bet

The Scrap-BOOk.

Every one who takes newspaper
which he in the least degree. appreciates,
will often regret to see. any one number
which contains some interesting and
important articles thrown aside for
waste paper, A good way to preserve
these is by the use of scrap-book. One
who has never been accustomed thus to
preserve short articles, can hardly rea-
lie the pleasure it affords to sit down
and turn over the pleasant, familiar
pages. Here piece of poetry meets
the eye, which you would long since
have lost had it not-been for your scrap
book. There is a witty anecdote-it
does you good to laugh over it yet, al
though it may be for the twentieth time.
Next is valuable recipe you had al
most forgotten, and which you found
just in time to save SO much perplexfty.
There is sweet little story, the memo
ry of which has cheered and encouraged
you when almost ready to despair UNI
der the pressure of life's cares. Indeed,
you can hardly take up single paper
without reperusing. Then hoard with
care the precious gems, and see at the
end Of the year what rich treasure yqg
will have accumulated.
