A newspaper correspondent writes: Mrs.
0. E. Whitney, of Boston, twelve years ago
used to paint single rosebud in water col
ors on cabinet card. She had never taken a
lesson, but was gifted with so much talent
that these flower cards sold as fast as paint
ed, and she generally finished five dozen a
day. Her strength lay in her delivery and
perfect coloring. Mr.. Prang, the chrome
man, happened to come across some of
engaged her as flower DESIGNER at salary
Of $4,000 year, with the executive right to
her talents. She originated those Christ
mas. Easter and birthday cards which have

At the court concert in Vienna given in
honor of their Italian Majesties, the EN-
Dress of Austria wore lavender silk dress
covered with lace, and q belt two inches
wide entirely made of diamonds, emeralds,
rubies, and topaz. The body of tho dress
was covered with precious stones of the

emeralds and black pearls. The Queen of
Italy wore cream cOlOred robe covered
with most delicate lace loopea into bow,
covered with precious stones. No sleeves,

cessfully applied art can tell where youth

descriptive title is the Baby Dress" It is
itemized as "a short round skirt of white
nuns yelling nearly covered with finely
pleated founces. Over this is shirred

ruffles. The bodice is gathered full, like a
baby's waist, to yoke over the shoulders

From Edmund Yates: "The wives and
daughters of second rate Americans are
quite as pretty, clever, and accomplished
Is their sisters above the line of upper
ten DOM, but owing to the fact Of pas
pile being of only recent formation, have
not had the advantage of being brought up
in Europe and European ways. Hence,
despite beauty, knowledge, and talent, they
lack the.repose and other things which
mark the cast of We're de We're. Their
toilets are apt to be amazing and their dia-
monds to rival an exhibition of lighthouse
apparatus. Nevertheless they tower over
their hush nds, fathers, and brothers. The
latter have been sent into counting house
too soon to have acquired even the varnish
of good breeding. They dress very nuch
like BARRIERS block, and talk more non-
sense than could be imagined"
