FANCLE.S FOR THE FAIR.

One of the most beautiful women in
New York is now in the Bloomingdale
Insane Asylum, whose insanity was
caused by the use of enamel on her
face.
Two women fought duel few days
ago in the forest of Chepultepec, near
Mexico. They were separated by two
coachmen before much damage had been
done.
IT has been suggested that somebody
could make money by putting a musical
attachment upon the ends of parasols,
SO that when woman shakes her shade
vehemently at an omnibus something
will whistle.
Doctor, my daughter seems to be
going blind, and she's just getting ready
for her wedding, too! @, dear me, what
is to be doneY" Let her go right on
with the wedding, madam, by all means.
If anything can open her eyes, marriage
will"
NARROW bands of black velvet ribbon

style, and small gold or jeweled orna-
ment worn at the forehead S edge is COM
ing into vogue.
A BELLIES watering-place outfit;
"Dresscs to sit in, and stand in, and
walk in; dresses to dance in, and ilirt in,
and talk in; dresses for breakfast and
dinner, and ball dresses in which TO do
nothing at all. y
In Mortimer Collinss letters, edited by
Frances Collins, and just published in
London, occur the following verses, adj
dressed to his wife:
i often think, my only love,
The world would be more true,
IL half the ladies In the world
Were half MS good as you.
And don't you think, my only love,
'Twere merrer meath the sky,
III half the men in half the world
Could love as well as II
THERE is a world for contemplation in
observing a young girl gazing upon the
tender petals of the rose her lover has
just given her, and then looking at the
same woman five years after, as she
stands beside huckster-cart and tells
the owner she wouldn't give five cents
for such head of cabbage if she had to
do without it all her life!
PAUL DE CAssAGNAC, the French
Deputy, journalist, bully and duelist
received his first instruction in fencing
from awoman. She was the daughter of
Polish fugitive, by vocation a fencing
master. She came to ask assistance for
her sick father, and proved the truth of
her story by challenging doubter to n
bout with the foils, and easily disarming
him. Under the tuition Of this woman
Cassagnac became one of the most expert
swordsmen of France. He has fought
nineteen. duels, and never received a
wound.
AN intelligent young man who goes
through the world with his eyes open,
! SAYS To his certain knowledge many first
class young men who would like to
marry do not do so because their earn
ings are not enough te maintain wife
as women require to be maintained now
a-days. If young women had the indie
pendence and common sense to be self
| supporting, even after marriage, if desir-
able, both sides of the house could marry
without fear of the future 1t is a false
very silly, very fatal pride which saws a
married woman must not earn money.
ST. LOUIS Jownal: Let man have g
dollar in his pocket to go marketing and
the first thing he buysare dimes worth
of fine cut-tobacco and five cent cigar
Then he'll lay in a supply of meal
enough to last a clearinghouse week
and with the remaining fifteen cents OF
his dollar he'll hire a boy to take
the meat home. A woman expends hel
money differently, but hardly more
judiciously. Twenty cents of it goes fol
a peck of green apples, fifteen cents fol-
cup of honey, twenty five cents for {
new kind of potato masher, ten cents fol
mock oranges, fifteen cents for sof
shelled almonds, fifteen cents for soup
bone, and her last dime for a glass O
ice cream soda.
