TIE ~prettiest woman at the private view
Of the Royal Academy "a london v az the vile
OF an artist THE numbers of his pictures are
19l and 260); the handsomest, the wife Of 8
well-known journalist; the worst dressed, a
lady who has written p book TO teach how TO
dres,; the best dressed, from an artistic
point of view, Mrs. Jopling. The tsilest
man was Coruey Grain; the smallest, Will
liam Black; and the man who wrote about
color as Black has done in Shdadon Bells
absolutely wore a blue shirt collar. This the
Queen, the ladies' newspaper, says was the

The good Baroness Burdett-Coutts has es-
tablI.hed a free school In connection with the
Iuternationsi Fisheries Exhibition, where the
people may learn how TO cook hsh properly.
The most efficient teachers are provided al
heavy expense, and the cooked FISH are served
at an adjoining restaurant, where n good
dinner may be had for ten cents, the proceeds
TO be applied to charity. The Baroness was
instigated to this act of benevolence by the
fact that during the times Of famine in Ire
land the FISH which abound in the waters Of
the coast was wholly neglected AZ a source of
food supply, owing to the Ignorance OF the
people as to The proper way of preparing
them.
SAID a well.to-6o miss to a Cleveland.
Herald reporter the other day: 81 think
there are few girls whose expenses for cloth
iug exceed 5000 annually. Ny expenses do
MOI amount 10 more than that, and l have to
hire nearly all my sewing done. Tn items
would be two tailor made dresses, $50; q silk
dress, $50; underclothing, S15-that Is to say,
the material could be bought for that; hats
and bonnets, S35; gloves, $40; shoes, sl4; in
cidentals-collars, cuffs, laces, stockings and
other articles, would not amount 10 more
than $50. Some years the expenses might
run up a little higher, as a new circular or
cloak would become necessary, but the cost
OF the average young lady's apparel will
not exceed S200 very often"

rumor that Frank Lsslie's widow is going to
marry a man Calling himself Marquis de
L=uville, who bas Impressed himself upon
the outer rim of New York society BY his
good looks and his profsssed ability TO do
anything from lighting a duel 10 trapping
a lobster" Mrs. Leslie has gone 10 Europe

paper charged him with only being a son.in-
lsE of Nine. Tusssud. of naxHark faaas,
