A Just Rebukc.
An excellent lesson was given to lady
well. known in society as professional
beauty and hirt. Her favorite amuse.
ment was to Hlrt with young married
men in manner just sufficient to make
their wives uncomfortable without com
promising herself in the eyes OF the
world. At a party she had tried the
whole power Of her fluctuations upon
,entleman who had not been many
months married, and hid monopoIlH"d
lis society nearly the whole evening.
AS the night waned, ana he seemed to
he yielding TO her Vaccinations, she be,
came more and more sentimental, amt
even ,ananr.
"Ahi Oo.. E." ahe said, "what
.ession love mi How few men there
10 who can truly feel and realize the
whole force Of woman's love and give
in return that ardent affection for Ehich
her heart Graves
"Dear Mrs. b., | can and do, an.
swered the Colonel. "There is one
,bom prize above all, and whom !
ruly believe TO be the loveliest woman
N earth"
"Ah I" said the beauty, with u soft
hand-prsssure and most killing glance,
"and she is?"
"My wife !" replied the Colonel. 81
think she is in the tca.room. and it IL
time looked for her. Goodnight, Mrs.
D."
A Valuable Hint.
Here is o good item for American heir
ess ,es and beauties who would like to
marry European rank. Prince Ludwig
Sayn- Wittgenstein, n member OF the
highest nobility in Germany, had mar
ried the daughter of n Berlin banker
named Lilionthal, II commoncr Then
he died, and the widow continued to call
herself Princess Sayn-Wittgcnstcin.
Prince Frederick, Of the same name,
brought SUIT against her, demanding
that she give up the prlnccIy title, rs
well as the use of the armorial symbols.
The Su, rene Court OF the German
Empire at Leipzig found against the de
PENDANT, and laid down the following
rules: ;,
|. A marriage between man Of noble
birth and tho daughter of commoncr
may be true marriage, but it il "a
mesaliance," consequently the woman
retains her rank IA commoncr.
2. A civil suit can be brought against
her in case she should use tho title or
crest of n noble family.
3. Any member Of the noble family
whose title or crest is used by II com
moner has the authority to bring such II
suit.
II this apply to woman Of German
birth, what can an American expect
The verdict quoted above cmnnatcs from
the highest tribunal in Germany and il
translated accurately.
The sInppie.t woman.
The following from ApplctOn's last
volume of "Home Books" is excellent,
and cannot be too strongly impressed on
the minds of some people. at ~ An
unlucky thing for the amenities OF home
when the daughters ARE SO strongly dis
posed TO leave the ordinary walks Of
ery-day feminine duty. The happiest
women are those who can lead the ordl-
nary life, be amused by society, dress
and conventionalitios, and who can be
early married to the man Of their choice,
and become in their turn domestic
women, good wives and mothers. There
is no other work, no matter how diStin-
glished, which equals this. But If this
life does not come to woman, and Ger
tainly it does not TO n ,cry large num-
Der, there can he no doubt Of the pro-
priety of woman's finding her own
sphere, her own work. md her happirst
And most energetic usefulness. Any
thing can Lo forgotten Of Il woman cN
cept n career OF vice or vanity, or the
wretched numbur,s uf inactIOn. No
woman should insult her Maker by cup
posing He made mistake in making her.
A morbid or useless woman was not
contemplated in tho great plan OF the
universe. She has always sphere. II

The orphan girl 10 sew.
Let her learn to cook and bake bread

but sit down and NOPE, and wait for

How some Women Bathe.
Did you ever see two women bnthe?
They emerge from their bath-housc
looking ~ though they had stolen some
thing and expected to See burly po'
liceman bob around the corner, clap his
hands rudely upon them, and exultingly
cry, "Now I've got You"
Then they trip along half dozen
steps, not altogether like "A Dnndrcary
or a sandpiper, butsomewhat resembling
both.
Then one says. "Oh. dear! !" and
reaches down to pick pebble out of
her shoe, while the other takes the OPP
portunity to yell like pair of panthers,
and then runs back with all her might to
the bath house. Her mate, of course,
doesn't get the pebble out of her shoe,
but gets several more in to keep it from
being lonesoR4.
