THE ~BEsr SOCIETY" IN WATER.
[Corr. New York Star.

[Corr. New York Star.
There are every season at Cape May
and Long Branch, women so attired
for the water, that if in France they
ventured forth they would receive the
stern attention of the police. A friend
recalls the appearance of Il young mar
| ried lady-a lady admitted to society
in Philadelphia-as she came from her
bathroom one day at Cape. May. She
had on the reguler stage tights, from
her waist down, and the body of her
dress fitted her as closely as the legs,
while her head was adorned with a
skull cap of loud color and trimmings,
making her altogether an object to
startIe the most experienced.
She left nothing whatever to the i'm
ginatiOn. She was less clothed than
even the Menken AS Mazcppa; yet
there was no blush upon her check as
she gave her naked arm to the man
mot her husband) who went with her
into the intimacy of the surf. This
lady would have shuddered at the
mere thought Of raising her dress
above her knee 10 cross Chestnut street,
but she had no shame in going almost
| nude into tho presence of hundreds OF
| men, women and children, and doing
her utmost by her manner and tho ar
rNuS0luCuI u IucIlItIC Suc VAu uitfc VII
to advertise her boldncss.
Five years ago the feminine arms
and legs aud busts were as carefully
kept from view at tho seaside as they
were in the cities, for we had not yet
reached the strange conclusion that
there is ono standard of nodesty for
summer and another for winter. In
deed ladies were more modest at the
resorts. The city ball dress was al
ways lavish in its revelations, whilo
the bathing costume concealed every
thing and suggested nothing, and even
at night for the hop there was not the
| recklessness of the town ball dress.
| Today, nine women out Of ten discard
| tho old style bathing costume and don
the new tangled one, their legs in
stockings or tights, and, occasionally,
even without either of these, with no
more concern, as babes on their
mothers laps, they kicked about their
plump limbs in infantile glee. What
ever of bashfnlness still remains to
them they leave on shore, and in tho
water they arc ready for anything.
They mount on mems shoulders and
dive therefrom.; they are duclseu, and
fioated aud Rugged by fellows OF
whom, not unfrequently, they know
nothing ut all, and to whom they are
often introduced but ten minutes be
fore.

after Beauregard admitted he was
beaten. The panic Of the Federals set
in almost Immediately, and from the
orders given to me after tho Federal
retreat commenced, not to fire, but to
fall back behind Bull Run, it appeared
that the Confederate chiefs were scarce
~ less confused than the Fctlcrals were
panic stricken. The former did not
not know how TO profit by the victory
that had come SO soon after defeat, and
the latter did not realize the strength
they might have put forth or the sue
cess they had obtained in the afternoon
over Beauregard.'

PEN PORTRAIT OF NAPOLEON.

Prince Metternich's portrait of Ma
poleon is probably one Of the most care
fully considered yet printed, and
occupies a chapter by itself
HHis attitude seemed to me to show
constraint and even embarrassment
His short, broad figure, negligent
dress and marked cndeavor to make an
imposing effect, combined to weaken in
me the feeling Of grandeur naturally at
tached to the idea of man before whom
the world trelnbled. This impression
has mover been entirely cfE.cetl from my
mind it was present with me in the
most important Interviews which !
have had with Napoleon, nj different
epOchs in his career. Possibly it help
| cu to show me the man as he was, be-
hind tho masks with which he know
how to cover himself. In his freaks,
his fits Of passion, in his br,lsk inlcr-
polations, l saw, prepared scenes,
| studied and calculated to produce cor
| tain effect on the person to whom hr
WAS speaking.
"In private life, without being
amiable, he was good naturch and even
carried Indulgence to the point of weak
ness. a good son ana good kinsman,
with those little pecularitics that are
met with more particularly in the
family interior OF the Italian tOtn!iCJf-
sic, he allowed the eXtravagant courses
Of some of his relations without using
the strength of will 10 stop them, even
when it would have been clearly to his
interest to do so. His sisters, in parti-
cular, got from him everything that
they wanted.
"Noither of his wives had ever any
thing to complain of from Napolcon's
personal manners. Although tho fact
is we'll known already, saying of
Archduchcss Marie Louise will put it
in Il new light. Z" am surc,' she said
to me some time after her marriage,
"that they think II great deal about
mo i'll Vienna, and that the general
opinion is that live Il lifo of daily suf-
fering. So true is it, that truth is not
often probable. I have no fear ct MAJ
poleon, but l begin to think that he is
afraid of me.''--Ncnoii'S Of lKctfcTnich.

A Brokers' Romance. .

1t is very touching incident. We
heard Southern editor telling it on an
elevated train yesterday and he wasEin a
great hurry TO get home and put it in
his paper and make an affidavit that it
was true. The scene of the romance
opens in a palatial mansion in New
York. A lady sits in parlor filled with
the most costly luxuries. Diamonds as
big as filberts glitter in her ears. Lace
costing S36 per yard almost hides the
color of her dress from sight. A clock
costing Sl9, 900 strikes the hour-4 P. NJ.
Al this moment her husband rushes into
the house, pale, haggard, suspenders
broken, hat bunged up, and his boots
all mud.
Have you-hsve you caught the
epi2ootic" she gasps. as she starts
"Oh, wife! we are busted--ruined-.
gone up-smashed fiat as slingle" he
moaned in reply.
"How 81
81 invested $4,000, in the Crooked
River railroad at SO, and it has declined
to al Jay Gould hiss bought and con-
sOlidated i'll We must leave this palace
and all these luxuries and works of art
and take two fourth-story rooms over
iii Brooklyn"
She laughed merrily and long. Had
the sudden news crszed heTP He thought
it had; but he was green. She left the
room for moment and then returned
with pillowcase containg 100000 in
greenbacks.
Let the Crooked River railroad
crook away!" she laughed, as she emp
tied the money at his feet. "You have
given me this money during the
past five years, few thousand dollars
at Il time, to buy little articles for toilet.
| had saved it up to get me pair of
stoc kings for Sunday, but cheerfully
hand it over to my good husband to set
him on his pins again. Take it, my dar-
ling, and if you can get q whack at Jay
Gould bite him hard, and I'll back you
