Women Eyeing Women.

The cycling of women by women is one
of the most offensive manifestations OF
superciliousness now to be met in society.
Few observant persons can have failed
to notice the manner in which one woman,
who is not perfectly we'll bred or perfect
ly kind hearted, will see another woman
whom she thinks is not in such good
society, and at the time in so costly a
dress as she herself is in. 1t is done every
where; at parties, at church, in the street.
1t is done by women in all conditions of
life. The very servant girls learn it of
their mistresses. 1t is done in an instant.
Who cannot recall hundreds of instances
of that sweep of the eye which takes in
at glance the whole woman, and what
she has on, from topknot to shoetle2 Men
are never guilty OF 1t, or, with such ex-
IRENE rarity, and then in such feeble and
small-souled specimens of their sex, that
it may be set down as sin not masculine,
or at least epicene. But women of sense
of some breeding, and even of some
kindness of nature, will thus endeavor
to assert superiority upon the meanest
of all pretences aud infict wound in a
manner most cowardly, because it cannot
be resented, and admits of no retort II
they but only knew how unlovely, how
positively offensive they make themselves

but to every generous hearted man who
observes their maneuvres, they would

There had been no crlminallty, only a

illegal, and concluded by as ing if he

It was done. A few days afterward the

An Obstinate Captain.

During strong South wind the French
brig Ponthieu went ashore near Penn
ance, England. The workers of the
rocket apparatus succeeded in throwing
line over her, but the crew being ig-
norant of how to work the apparatus fast
cned the line on board instead Of hauling
it in. One Of the crew, however, hauled
himself ashore by the line. The Pen
zance lifeboat was then got out, but on
her arrival alongside the cre., although
in emminent peril, took no notice, the
captain apparently forbidding them to
leave or even throw line to the llfeboat
Wind and sea rapidly increasing and the
vessel being full in the breakers it was
seen that it must soon break up. In vain
the lifeboat's crew entreated; they were
warned off and had to leave; but seeing
the loss OF life that must ensue the life
boats coxwain determined to return, and
this time was so far successful that five
of the crew jumped off and were picked
up. The captain still remained obsti.

named Gould volunteered for the peril.

The Jay Mansion at Rye.

About 1914, Peter JAY, a prosperous
merchant, having retired from business
II the prime of life, looking around for
some quiet place to pass his remaining
days in ease, purchased large estate in
Rye, and settled his family there, while
his son Johu-W was to become an IL
lustrious parsonage in the early history of
the RepublIc-Was still lid. Here
the future Chief Justice passed part of
his youth, going from home to school.
and to Kings College in New York when
he was fourteen yeals Of age. The estate
at Bedford. W ere the present John Jay
resides, pa sed into the possession of the
Jays through the marriage of Mr.. Peter
Jay into the family of the Van Coatlandts,
and afterward became the residence of
Governor Jay. DR.. Jay, grandson of
the governor, now lives on the estate at
Rye-a beautiful place it'll green mead
ows sloping from the back of the mansion
down to the broad waters Of the Sound.
The 'ha-ha" fences, being sunken stone
walls, offer no impeachment to the view,
and only stately elm here and there
breaks the smooth sweep Of meadow lands
the spacious mansion itself, which
some forty years ago replaced the old
house, there are many things to carry one
back to Colonial days. The robe of
office worn by the first Chief Justice,
colored silk, tells of the early times be-
fore the influence of Jefferson had created
sense Of republican simplicity.
A portrait Of the Chief Justice, The
joint production of Gilbert Stuart and
that stately old painter and patriot,
Colonel Trumpull, is of much interest
even in purely artistic sense, as it is one
OF the most thoroughly painted and best
of all heads of Stuart within writer'S
| knowledge. 1t is not, however, at all
comparable in this respect to three-quar-
ter length of an old ladv-a Van Cortlandt-
painted in Holland in 1922, work which,
while its author is unknown, is still of
amazing quality and " ell worth going a
long way to see.
There are two portraits IN the country
house of Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, on Mansur-
ing Island. They are portraits OF Peter
Stuyversant and his wife, painted by
Vandyck, and have never before been en-
graved. They are more vigorous in char
acterization than many Of the latter por-
traits by Vandyck, and less hammered.
The wife of the testy old Governor was
a Bayard, daughter of learned and dis
tlnguished HUI enOt, and it is through
this family ofwhich Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
is member, that the portraits have been
preserved-from the hands of the 'restor.
