a HIGH-TONED THIEF.
One of the Most Prominent Ladies OF
New York Guilty Of Theft.

New YORK, November 6.-Ope of the
most prominent. and hjghly-cstecmc |
society ladies in New York has been
discovered to be a confirmed klepto-
maniac, and her appropriations form
the theme of conversation now in social
gatherings. 1t seems that for some
time articles have been missed from
houses where she visited. Toilet
articles, souvenirs of travel on the ia
bles in the parlors, books from the
library, and even jewelry would myste-
riously disappear and never be recov-
cred. After many articles had disap-
peared from variCns residences where
she had visited, it was arranged by sew
eral ladies that a watch should be put
on during her approaching visit to a
residence on Long Island. Hereshe was
detected appropriating a very beauti-
full enameled China scent bottle for the
toilet table. She was seen to take it and
secrete it in her trunk the day before her
departure, when it was arranged that
one of her nearest friends should visit
the lady herself at her residence in this
city, and ascertain, if she could, what
she did with the stolen articles. She

broker, as another fashionable though
not so well-off lady was once discovered
to be doing. The friend, while stopping
with her, discovered that she had the
stolen articles secreted in the lumber or
trunk room in the garret of her resi-
dence. The friends all agreed that the
best way to recover the things was for
each of them to drop her note requesting
the return of the article which they re-
spectively claimed to have "loaned''
her. The lady has been written to by
nearly all OF her friends, and has in
each case promptly returned the article
called for. The question which is agi-
tatlng the circle now is, shall any of
them again invite her to their houses

FRENCH POLITICAL.

The French administration is show
ing signs of confidence and vigor. Since
the opening of the present session of
the chamber Of deputies it has pre-.
sented bola 'front.' has evidently
gained the support Of the more conser.
vative elements, and has little to fear
from the extreme left and its allies. It
firmly opposes the various demands of
the radicals, insists that the concordat
must be'adbered TO, and generally indi-
Gates purpose to preserve stable con-
dition of governmental affairs. 1t is
risky to assume in these years that any
French cabinet will be permanent for
any considerable length of time, but
there has been none for a long while
which has appeared so strong as the
present one. 1t is essentially Gambet-
tist cabinet, and moving in the line
marked out by the dead Statesman.
Perhaps there can be no greater tribute

coming together of forces after his death

What a Woman Can Do

tFrom the Philadelphia CALL
She can talk faster than man can
hear.
She can say "No" and stick to it for
all time.
She can say +" No " in such a low, soft
voice that it means "Yes.''
She can eat her breakfast in bed and
enjoy it. This is something that no
man can do.
She can sharpen lead pencil if you
give her plenty of time and plenty of
pencils.
She can see in a great, big, selfish
hulk, qualities which he does not and
never dld possess.
She, can dance all night in pair OF
shoes Ewo sizes two small for her and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can pass display window OF dry
goods store without stopping-if she is
running to catch train.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-tive years after the
marriage ceremony has taken place.
She can walk half the night with
colicky baby IN her arms without once
expressing a desire to murder the in
FAINT.
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one touch of kindness or
consideration will drive from her rec.
objection.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on, and in some rare in.
stances can give faint idea of what the
text was.
She can look her husband square in
the eye when he tells her some cock and
bull story about being "detained at
the office" without betraying in. the
least that she knows him to lie col
ossal liar
She can rumple up $1,000 worth of
dress goods and buy spool of thread,
with an order to have 1t delivered four
miles away, in style that will transfx
the proprietor of the establishment with
admiration
She can go into conyulsions az the
sight OF mouse, and five minutes later
she can listen to her husbands story of
his financial ruin with loving smile on
her face and with courage in heart
that comes not within the knowledge Of
men.
She can-but what's the use! A
woman can do anything or everything
and do it well. She can do more in
minute than man can do in au hour,
and do 1T better. She can make the al.
legged lords of creation bow down to her
own sweet will, and they will never
know it. Yes, woman can do every
thing, with but one exception: she can
not climb q tree.
