'SHE never told her love "-because
the young man, anticipating something
OF the kind, hasn't called on her since
leap year opened. -NorristOaO1 Herald.
YOU'RE man after my own heart
as the blushing maiden confessed when
her lover proposed marriage.-N Y.

He asked Cincinnati belle if there
was much refinement and culture in that
city, and she replied: "You just bet
your boots we're cultured crowd"
A LADY tells something which ought
to have remained secret with her sex.
1t is that woman in choosing lover
considers 1t good deal more how the man
will be regarded by other women than
whether she loves him herself.
SPEAKING of the favorite panacea for
the Ill of marriage, that the husband
shall always continue to court the wife
as he did when he was her lover, the
Cincinnati Gazette dryly says that it is
a remarkable remedy for man who has
found out that he has married fool.
In sober earnest the Denver (Col.)
NeaDs makes this queer suggestion GA
society for the promotion of society is
| needed here. A community of strangers
requires facilities by which acquaintance
can be readily and rapidly formed. It
will kill homesickness. -
A 1ADY's maid en- Uoy0ge is proverb
of tawdriness, but royal baggage comes
very near it. The World says the queen
never moves, either at home or abroad,
without being accompanied by untidy-
looking bags, bundles, and baskets, and
innumerable small boxes, all containing
things which would be much better
placed in one large trunk.
A YOUNG girl and her lover were accus-
toned to meet for a quiet tete-a-tete on
an unfrequented half-mile race course.
| When questioned as to the reason for
choosing this particular locality, she
biushingly replied: 80, sometimes we
are interrupted, and then John walks off
in one direction and l in the other, and
meet on the opposite side"
LIZ there was only as much physical as
literary activity among our ladies', it
would not be found necessary for them
to turn to the health-lift or to special
electric treatment at intervals of social
ing occupation give abundant opportuni-
ty to cater to real OF imaginary bodily
infirmities. -Erchange.
The Philadelphia Times New York
correspondent tells of bridal robe
made for girl who left details to her
dressmaker, but insisted that the gown
should be tinted and the flowers wild and
colored. The result was a green dress
with drapery of silvery pink gauze
studded andfringed with little beads, and
draped with pale pink crab-apple
blossoms and hawthorn sprays.
BEAD embroidered gloves would be
good things for a person to wear who
was receiving reception" as a con-
temporary said the other day, against his
will. They should be embroidered on
the palm of the hand, and by the time
the skin had been rasped from the fin
gers of few of the guests, the rest
would be less anxious to see the great
man.
A FASHIONABLE dressed lady nowadays
| blossoms Like Flora, lacking more or less
the attraction supposed to belong to that
goddess, as she appears in full dress
with a huge cluster of lilac, wisteria or
acacia, tulips and lilies on her breast.
| The style must be devised for the COM
fort of dowagers, whose ample figures
retreat behind the screen of their bou-

modest soul finds in the pages of pho

OLIVE LOGAN advises American act
ors to keep away from England. She
writes: GAS an actor, who had received
his $3OOa week salary in New York, said
to me last winter in London, where he
was doing Jobs in acting at couple
of pounds week or so, IF you ask one
of the actresses of the company to take
supper with you, after the performance
in New York, you take her to belmont
co.'s, and your bill is $50; here you ask
her to your lodgings and give her bit
of cold steak and send the slavy out for
a pot of beer, and she is quite satisfied"
A SENSIBLE writer expresses ms op1n-
ion of old maids in the following man.
ner: ''I am inclined to think that many
of the satirical aspersions cast upon old
maids tell more to their credit than is
generally imagined. Is young woman
remarkably neat in her person, she will
certainly be an old maid Is she per-
fectly reserved toward the other sex, she
has all the squeamishness of an old
maid. Is she frugal in her expenses and
domestic concerns, she is cut out for an
old maid. If she is kindly humane to
the animals about her, nothing can save
her from the appellation of an old maid.
In short, I have always found that neat
ness, modesty, economy and humanity
are the never-failing characteristics Of
that terrible creature
THE young ladies of the Maryland
state normal school are said to have made
a decidedly new departure in the matter
of personal appearance, and now appear
without the frizzes and bangs or picca-
dilly fringe SO commonly and in many
cases so unbecomingly worn by girls of
the period. The metamorphosis is said
to have come about by the principal,
Professor M. A. Newell, who having had
his salary cut down by the legislature,
