Miss ParlOas

A movement is on foot to secure Miss Par loa next month for a course of lectures in plain cookery. The course which she gave last spring was decided success. The num- Der in attendance was large and the interest continued unabated to the end. But the class of dishes treated then were compara- lively expensive and it is now proposed to consult the interest of those who are daily studying to make the most of their limited means To show how to prepare good nu- tritious food at small cost is the object of the coming lectures. First of all be it under stood, this is an enterprise under taken from disinterested motives. Miss Parloa will not assume the risk of this course. In order to have the benefit of such instruction extend to those who need it most the undertaking must be in a measure charitable The necessary expense will not be formidable but there must be at the out set some assurance from responsible ladies that there shall be no deficiency. The price at which the season tickets can be sold and the evident popularity of such course of lessons ought to ensure a surplus, and if there be such it will be devoted to such charitable objects as the ladies decide upon. Twelve lessons would comprise the course.
 Miss Parloa will be in the city to day, when @ definite statement of the necessary expense of the course will be given. It is hoped that the ladies who were present last spring will be active in making this'on success. In other places manufacturers have shown their interest in their working people by providing these advantages for them. Are there not in this city many such who without urging would distribute tickets where they know they are needed?

 ttcOatss
 From London Truth.l
 Saving her petticoats, retained apparently out of respect for the law that prohibits in terchange of costume by the sexes, the fe- male masher is little man. She Is stiff and starch, well set up, and all over buttons. Her hat Is made at @ mans shop, so is her trim httle jacket, so are her innumerable waistcoats, so apparently are her boots. She is essentially tailor-made from head to foot. When the weather is gusty, she covers all with tailoE-made tight fitting coat, to which a certain swagger Is imparted by the use of the new preposterous and most hideous swaying crinolette. If manners oft proclaim the man, costume certainly advertises the woman; so the female masher does not as- sume masculine attire without initiating, par rot-like, the affections of her evident model. On the pier and promenade of to-day the man is not in it. It is the woman wko laughs loudly, talks at the top of her voice, takes the pavement, and elbows the crowd to the right and to the left. The female masher is neither polite in her manners nor select in her conversation. On a very slight acquaint- ance she will communicates suspicious stories to perfect stranger, and there is no slang or popular vulgarity with which she is not acquainted. In dog cart at the station she takes the reins; in the yacht she handles the tilIer. She whistles as she walks along the pier, and hitches up her clothes as if she rooms at night she evidently finds the oppo- site sex % insipid that she seizes upon the AEFt sisl she comes acrosg, and Hhixls her
