And squeeze in the waist
Till breathe with Distress.

Mrs. LANGTRY, daughter of the Dean
of Jersey, will take rank hereafter with
the historic beauties of England. Last
season people-nay, even duchesses
scrambled upon chairs to catch a
glimpse of her. She was the sensation
of the drawing room, and three of her
portraits are this year on exhibition at
the Royal Academy.
THE Crown Princess of Denmark is
said to be six feet two inches in height.
She takes great pleasure in dancing,
but having strong sense of the iudi-
crous she will dance with no partner
who is not tall also. 1t is said that the
Princess of Wales finds it somewhat
difficult at her balls to provide suitable
partners for her sister-in-law.
HERE is a SANDER from a European
paper: An American lady, while at
Rome, managed to s. cure an invitation
to a court ball, and while there was APP
preached by Prince Humbert - now
king-who addressed her some polite
speech. She did not rise as is etiquette,
but pointing her fan to vacant chair
near, said: "You must be tired,
Prince; won't you set down and rest
your trotters awhileY
MORE white and black will be worn
this summer than ever. White cache
mire de Plnde will be trimmed with
pipings and bindings in dark shades.
Handsome Valenciennes lace will be
used for these suits for the trimmings
and headings of founces. Some cache
mires are stamped with flowers, and
some made in open work. Foulard is a
very suitable trimming, as it is as light
as the thinnest silk.
TRUE LOVE.
o, am fain to ask thee,
What is then love, my hearth
1.-TWO hearts and ore pulsation
One wound a twofold smart"
And tell me whence love cometh2
1t comes-lo It's with theel"
And say, heart, when love fleeth7
True love doth never iee"
And when is love the purest?
- When IL its If forgets"
And when the deepest, truest?
"WheH 1t is quetest"
And say when is love richest?
" In giving, rich 1t proves"
And say, heart, how love speaketh7
1t speaketh motif loves"
ONE of the pretty fancies of French
people is to make colors the expression
of sentiment. They hold that violet is
analogous to friendship, blue to love- as
suggested by blue eyes and azure sky.
A bunch of violets would, therefore, tell
lady's sutton that friendship is all that
he has a right to expect. Red figures
ambition; indigo, the spirit Of rivalry;
green, the love of change, fckleness
black, favcritism; white, unity, univer-
salty. In addition to the seven primi-
tive colors, gray indicates power;
brown, prudery; pink, modesty silver
gray (semi-white), feeble love; lilac
(semi-violeD, feeble friendship; pale
pink, false shame.
MISSES suits are made almost exactly
like ladies' costumes, with the exception
that they are very simply trimmed.
The polonaise or princess dress is draped
with a scarf, the skirt with unique is
draped, and the waist has a small
basque. A young lady should not wear
a train until she iseighteen years of age,
and even then it should be short. The
corsage-blouse, with lavandiere" tu-
nique gathered and belted in at the waist,
is most suitable for a young lady. The
apron is raised on the sides and fastened.
The effect of this "retrousse lavan-
diere" is produced over princess dress
by means of scarf placed fiat in front,
with the sewing on the inside, so that
when it is turned up the proper effect is
attained.
The following translation was made
by Frenchman who professed to teach
languages, and who thought he..was tell
ing story in really beautiful English:
A lady which was to dine said to her
