WIDOWS IN INDIA.

Widowhood in India is most miserable
condition There the bewitching widow,
who is so often dangerous foil to the
charming girl' of society, has no exis-
tence, To be widow is to be a dis
graced woman, Stunned by kindred and
friends alike. Since the inauguration of
British rule, a law has been passed render
ing the F'suttee" criminal action, and the
wife who survives her lord can no longer
honor him by making holocaust of her
self. Many widow must wish that such
a resource were still open to her married
as child, perhaps at six or seven years OF
age, to some man twenty or thirty years
older than herself, becoming very often
that despised thing, a widow, before she
has reached maturity, she drags out a
wretched existence, summed alike by her
own family and her husbands Efforts are
now being made to make second marriage
a possible thing, but, although it may east
" become legalized, it will be long before
the prejudice of the native population viii
admit that such a proceeding is commenda-

Lucy Hooper writes from London to the
Cincinnati Enquirer: saw Mrs. Langtry
the other evening at the opera on the oc-
casion of the first performance of Rubin
stems opera of III Demenio. She sat
with her back to the stage during the en-
tire evening, having evidently come there
to be seen, and not to see The Jersey
Lily looks worn and faded, and her pale
gray toilet lacked the snowy splendor that
used TO characterize her costumes in form
er days. / never admired her, even when
first saw her in the very height of her re-
nown. How any face could be considered
handsome with that broad, heavy jaw was
to me a mystery And then she always
lacked the supreme charm of beauty,
namely, Inconsistencies, whether real or
feigned. She is always attitudinizing, and
always on the lookout for admirers. The
Prince of Wales dropped m to visit her in
one of the entr'actes, but his Highness had
cold in his head apparently, as he passed
nearly the whole of the period of his visit
in series of vehement and most unroyal

AN EsrHET1c BALL.

A London letter to the Philadelphia Tel
e9q'0ph says: II had the pleasure of attend
ing an aesthetic ball the other night. 1t
was very intense. Oscar Wide was not
there, but Burne Jones was, looking long
and solemn, like the lanky white maidens
he is so fond of painting Punch and
Harper have pretty well famiHariZed the
American public with the make of the
gowns and the style of the coiffures of the
aesthetic set, so / win go into no detailed
description of the costumes only pausing
to declare that Mr.. Du Maurier has not
caricatured the aesthetic style of dress in
the least. On the contrary, he has drawn
it very mild. The favorite colors are pea
cock blue in dull shade, sage green, ter
ra Gotta red, and bright saffron color
Most of the ladies had their hair
cut short, and pulled out in wisps to took
like the personages in medieval IL
Nominations. One lady present had cop
led the costume worn by Ellen Terry as
'Portia," and her dress was made OF mag
nificent satin and brocade, but lacking the
consummate and exquisite grace of the
charming actress; the effect was far from
being good. The materials employed were
mostly Grape, cashmere, and thin Chinese
silk with here and there a heavy satin.
The wearers of these wonderful robes posed
about the room in limp and backbone
less manner, leaning up against door posts
or convenient pieces of furniture, in atti-
tudes more or less marvellous to behold,
but all on the fioppy style. In fact, to be
truly aesthetic, one must neither have back
bone nor back hair; cropped locks, and
tendency to double up on the smallest
provocation being essential This new
craze, however, has its advantages. A pretty
girl in one of these queer dresses looks
pretty in spite of it, while an ugly one has
at least the comfort of being conspicuous
and attracting degree of notice that she
would not otherwise obtain. And it the
thing were well and tastefully done, it
would be rather nice than otherwise, being
picturesque and peculiar, at all eyants.
But the dresses themselves are so badly
made, and often, alas and alasl anything
but clean, and the cropped heads are so
very trying, and the lilies and sunfewers
look so absurd, that the picturesque ele-
ment in the affair is overridden by the
ridiculous one. 1t has, however, one
great merritt is economical. An aesthetic
bali dress will cost by very few more shil-
lings than Partisan one viii pounds.
