Revival of Mon az ticisIaa.
THatSlrday .ReyieW.1

It is noteworthy, that Just as monasti-
cism is going out of repute and sinking
into decay in Italy the taste for it is re-
viving in France. In not a few towns
in the South the monastery ia becoming
as common a sight as the pepinere ou on
TAFT les cures, as the lay-folK scornfully
dub the seminaire or theological college.
These latter-day cloisters are a favorite
retreat for i'd gentlemen, who have
tired of society, or who find that society
has tired Of them. in one much-fre-
quented watering-place the revived con-
vent of the Carmelites makes one of the
chief attractions of the place, keeping up
a continual rivalry with the theater, the
band and the casino. ......
In the church attached to it there is
constant succession Of functions with
striking aesthetic effects, and special
preachings by popular preachers Of the
order from every quarter OF the globe.
The sight of the brethren, too, as they
fit noiselessly to and fro with tie aims
bags, or emerge in single file from their
screened-off seats intothe choir when the
sermon begins and the singing of one
of them, who short time ago was the
gayest Of the gay and the darling OF
society, all contribute to the popularity
of the services and of the place, which
perhaps on this accouat is a favorlte
haunt of English "verts."
The ranks of the inmates of such es.
adjustments are generally filled up by
men who have been crossed in love, who
have lost heavily at play, who can not
get on with their wives or otherwise the
victims of domestic worries and seek
safety in flight. But Of what goes on
within the walls outsiders seldom hear,
though once we were told on good au.
thority that a certain doughty old Gen.
eral, who had exchanged the sword,
which had done his country much good
service, for the frock, was SO very Gin.
firm of purpose" about turning out az all
hours of the night to say his prayers
that he was constantly in disgrace fol
disobedience TO the rules Of the order he
had joined.

How Paris Ladies' Dress.
II.nndan Daily Na,src

The whirligig of fashion is bringing
round an old-fashioned decoration, which
has its merits. Ladies are wearying of
monograms, and are adopting emblems
and notices. The fourteenth and early
sixteenth centuries were the time when
notices and fanciful emblems hourished
most abundantlv. Besides his hereditary
bearings, every Knight had some emblem
of fantasy, and every lady her symbol,
which might be changed at pleasure
When these were embroidered on dresses
the effect was quaint and variegated, and
gave each costume kind of originality.
Parisians have rediscovered this, and birds
and notices are embroidered all over
dresses A well-graced (and well-puffed)
actress, who is the reverse of stout in
figure, appeared lately with the de-
vice of ravens on her array. Her rival,
who is not slim, observed that "Where
the skeleton is, the ravens are gathered
together" Swallows are more common
than the sombre bird Of the Danish ban
ner-perhaps to indicate that the weaier
intends "fying, flying SOUTH" Gold
swallows are worn on blue satin ground,
though naturalist might prefer to re-
verse the colors. Ladies of fashion, ii
the fashion prevails, will soon look as
quaint as did Jacqueline de la Grange in
her costume broidered with pink eagles
and black ducks, or Anne Of Bohemia
with the crowned ostrich. The notices
may slip from writing paper into wider
use, and poets once more style themselves,
on their title-pages, "le banni de liesse."
The old motto would serve many Of the
new poets very we'll, and the fashion will
at least add some variety to existence,
till the thing is overdone, and ceases to
be an outward sign Of inward medieval
ism.

Fatal Consequences Of a Mock Mar.
riage.
IBinghampton Ger. Philadelphia Press
Some months ago young man named
George Youngs went to Bath, Pennsyl
Vania, from Schenectady. He was q
printer, and was handsome and inteli-
gent. Alice Beers a beautiful girl,
daughter of a prominent citizen of the
place, fell in love with Youngs. The pair
desired to marry, but the girls parents
refused to consent to the match. Youngs
and Miss Beers ran away. They returned
the next day, and Youngs exhibited a
marriage certificate bearing the signature
Of clergyman of this city. The girls
parents received her and her husband to
prevent scandal.
A week or two ago it was rumored in
Bath that YOungs had wife and child
in Schenectady. His Bath wife was given
good evidence Of the fact, but she refused
to believe it. A gentleman Of Bath
came to this city last week to investigate
the marriage here. He found that the
clergyman's signature to the marriage
certificate was forged and that the cere-
mony Youngs had performed was mock
ceremony at disreputable house, boon
companion of his having personated the
clergyman. When the news was carried
to the Young wife she fell to the floor
dead. Youngs fled and no trace of him
has vet been found. He has a wife and
two children in Schenectady.

Her New Shoes.

She was a woman. If you ever ran a
shoe store you will know what followed
as she entered the store. She looked all
around, picked up pair of shoes off the
counter, rubbed her thumb along the
soles, and timidly asked OF the smiling
clerk: '.'.
'Do you keep ladies' shoes heref'
eve do" he promptly answered
"What style shall I show youT
For more than three weeks she had
her mind made up for pair which laced
on the inside, and all her friends had en-
couraged her idea, but it wouldn't have
been like woman to ask the, clerk fol-
that particular style. .4

asked the grade of material in each, and
twice during fifteen minutes she seemed
on the point of trying on pair. s..>

you see."
Eyes see. If ever buy q pair Of
button shoes shall insist On the patent
button"
"Didu't you want pair of theses''
"Iers seeY" she unused again, fasten-
ing her eyes on the top shelf. She was
buried in the deepest thought fer q long
minute, and the clerk hardly dared draw
his breath. Then her eyes gradually
dropped from shelf to shelf until they
rested ON his garnet necktie, and she
said:
"Not to-day. Have you shoes which
lace?"
ooh, yes"
'Those which lace in frontf"
"Yes'm. Here is something fine. /

"Can you7 Why shoes must have

"Oh, yes"
"And they wear as good as anyw

material in these shoes, as they were
made for us here in Detroit. Will YOU

She seemed about to do so. She looked
over at the lounge, seized a pair Of So,
and was then halted by new idea. She
put the shoes down, let her eyes drop to
the floor, aud, after mental calculation
OF seventy seconds, she suddenly in
quired:
"Did you say you had shoes that laced
on the sidef'
eyes, we have. Would you like to
see themY
She hesitated, looked up and down the
shelves as if perplexed, and finally said
she would. He emptied two boxes,
praised the style and material, and ad-
vised her by all means to get those shoes
if she wanted to be in style and have a.
good fit.
II can wear threes," she observed, as
she partly turned away, "but owing"
"Yes'm. You do not want a glove
fitting shoe. You are very sensible on
that point. Fives are much too large, of
course, but they are better for the feet in
winter. These are fves, but very small
ones; In some stores they would be
marked threes."
II guess I'll try them on" she family
remarked as she sat down.
"Yes'm, I'm sure"
No he wasn't. She had suddenly
paused again. What if there was hole
in the heel of her stocking? Suppose her
big toe had worked through, as big toes
sometimes will!
II can try them on Alone" she finally
said, and while the clerk was busy on
the other side of the counter she ripped
the buttons off her right shoe, pulled it
Oft, and got her foot into the new one.
1t was a pinch. Her toes felt cramped
and her heel complained.
'Do they fit2" asked the clerk, as he
leaned over the counter.
She didn't say.

suggested.

reddened, why, l can hardly lind nv
