Il vas that of a Brooklyn young lady.
Love among ladies is particularly strong
here. She had been engaged to a youth
not Of high degree but of gentle breeding
for some time. During the past few
weeks she noticed that his visits became
fewer, and that his demonstrations of
grew weaker. The famous |
nphorism Of the French diplomat ''eher-
chez Ia femme"-seek tue woman, at
once became her war cry. Que day she
went to his rooms, searched his desk and |
table, and In them found the
damning evidence Of bis unfaithfulness,
in the shape Of several love letters of re-
cent date from another young lady. She
at once wrote him n letter upbraiding
him for his conduct, informing him at
the same time of what sLe had done. lie
replied in an extremely polite manner,
that under the circumstances she must
see ht rself that he could have no more
confidence in her, and that he must
therefore decline TO continue his visits.
Then the poor thing cries, takes poison
and dies. She las no sympathizers. No
one weeps over the remains of her poor,
foolish little SELF. "Pshaw," say her

What changes will be made in the
Cooper institute, and what additions or
engagements will be made with tire adj

school has done world OF good, perhaps
even more than the general scientific
school. It has enabled thousands OF
women to earn their living comfortably

on existing methods of household decor

men. When one looks at the dry goods,
millinery and other tsblishments where
white female slaves are employed by
thousands, one cannot but feel sorry for
them. Dress they must and will. Now
a great many of them certainly cannot
afford to play fine ladies on salary
barely enough TO buy decent foed and
other necessaries of life. The answer to
the question of how they do get the
money then to do It. is obvious ther efore,
The last work of Zola's decribing life in
the shops and stores of Paris, is being
decried as wretched and bad. Anybody
who knows ANYTHING about life in our
