The ErIendship Of Young Women.

Without indorsing the opinion of the dread
full French cynic who wrots that the friend
ship of two women is generally a conspiracy
against u third, ii cannot be denied that the
friendship of women in general, and Of young
women in particular, is one of those grave
and delicate subjects about which the least
said the better. There is so much rapture
about it, too-such lovely ecstatic joy.
There are whispers of such perfect confidence.
There are breathings Of the tendcrest devo-
ton The unanimity with which iavorte
poems are conned and dressmakers shared Is
equalled only by the enthusiasm with which
lengthy letters are exchanged and prolonged
visits are made.
1t is one of the mysteries of life that there
should be so much flower and SO little root to
the friendships of young women, 80 much eN-
uhGmnt enthusiasm and 50 little reality after
all. The most trihing occurrence will convert
the most gushing affection into tho most hys.
terical hatred. Young women who have
been known to kiss each other in perfect
rapture, the next day are quito Indifferent
the following week rather cold and week
later indulge in cutting remarks about each
other to mutual acquaintance, which are of
course, cheorfully repeated with due OK
aggelations on tho way. There are charges of
deceit and hypocrisy on both sides, aud finally
II pas ioIate resentment results, which is un-
dying mdBo iucomparably ferocious that the
young women ever after refuse TO patrOnize
the same dressmaker.
Now, there must exist reason for these
sudden changes in affection. "Where Is the
Noman2' was the exclamation of noted
lgukor, on hearing of any trouble In the
,Ull, ol that saying, can the social critic ask
iur Inc man when there are iitful interrup
Ions Ol young women's iriendship2 Other
wIsc the subject must remain foreyera sealed

Mile. OIga's Lovers.

Paris Correspondence OF ne LORdon Neps
A case which has excited much interest
in the south of France, has just been tried
by the Carcassonne correctional tribunal.
Nine. de Pointies, Il widow Of AZ, with large
landed property, inhabits chateau, with an
only child, Milo. Olga, beautiful girl only
81. This lady had for steward one POnCignOn,
who, with his wife, possessed her entire con-
ldencc. The PoncignOns conceived the idea
of finding husbands for both ladies, and
obtaining handsome commission on the
achievement. They began with the widow,
and found for her genuine but penniless
marquis, NJ. dc Lostanges, of Toulouse.
They negotiated 80 cleverly that Nine. de
Pointies accepted him and he signed bills for
10000 francs, in favor of POncignon, payable
after the marriage. Unfortunately for hfm-
self and the result of the combination, the
marquis, intoxicated with success, got liter
ally intoxicated at dejeuner ut the lady's
house, and so conducted himself that he was
turned out, with orders not to show his face
there again. The 6O,OOOf bills became value
less, but, nothing daunted, the PoncignOns
found another nObleman, Baron Armanderio
d'Arberat, for Mile. Olga and so caioled her
mother that she strained her paternal au-
thOrity TO the utmost TO force the young lady
to take him. But Olga had her own views,
She did not like the baron, and ran away TO
Marseilles with n cooper named SignOurel,
Then Poncignon and the baron, with the full
authority Of the mother organized captur-
ing party, such as was frequent in old times
in Ireland, TO take possession of Mile Olga
and carry her bodily away from the seductive

Within the past few years the demand for
frogs sas an article offood has steadily increased
and many people to-day rate frog legs very
highly as table delicacy. Many of these per-

some time before accepting the delicious batra'
