From Chicago.
CHICAGO, January 9th, 1888.


To the Editors of the Standard:
For the past three or four years the
papers have made frequent mention
Of Mrs. Langtry, the famous English
beauty, the Jersey Lily" as she is
called.
The Prince of Wales was the first
to pronounce her beautiful, and Of
course his very loyal subjects, looking
at her with his eyes, agreed with him.
"For he himself hath said it.
We have all read that Mrs Lang
try's beauty gained her admittance
into the first society Of England, that
her pictures were for sale in all the
shop windows, and that she was what
is called professional beauty.
In Chicago for two months every
thing has been Jersey Lily"
We have had Jersey Lily hats, Jer-
sey Lily gloves, Jersey Lily cigars,
and Jersey Lily "bangs." Her photo
graphs have been scattered every
where, and a large crayon portrait Of
her has attracted considerable atten-
tion in one of our notion stores.
| went to see this much-talked-of
lady. sat near the stage, and ex-
pected to behold a vision Of lowell
ness. Most wofully was l disap-
pointed!
One passes dozens of prettier ladies
on the street every day. Icould men
ton ladies in Jackson, not only
among the young girls, butt married
women with their boys and girls
growing up around them, who could
far outshine this Jersey Lily.
Mrs. Langtry is graceful, and she
has fine complexion, though how
much of the latter is due to the
manipulation of her maid, I know
not.
The papers have mentioned the
brilliancy of her eyes. They are a
pair of ordinary blue eyes, which she
has made appear larger and darker
than they really are, by pencilling the
corners and the lower lids.
Her mouth is very wide, her lips
are thin and her lower jaw heavy.
Her nose is her best feature, being
beyond criticism; but really it is
scarcely worth while to buy ticket
Just to see that nose.
Her teeth are very white, short and
even, though not absolutely perfect,
as there is quite space between the
two upper front teeth.
Her hair is of the shade called in
hair-stores medium brown" Her
arms and hands are exquisitely
moulded-in her pictures-not in
reality.
OF her acting am not so well pre-
pared to express an opinion. The
play was light comedy requiring but
little histrionic talent.
Coming out Of the theatre l heard
such remarks as: "Oh [ was fright
fully disappointed' "The two ladies'
next me were disgustedl' and "Oh
we'll, I am not exactly sorry that I
went"
It is said that Mrs. Langtry con-
siders herself faultlessly beautiful,
but do not think she will succeed in
dazzling Americans with her lowell
ness. Her audiences are immense
however, and she will take home with
her of what her compatriot Oscar
Wilde designated as ''the. homely
American dollar"
Yours truly,
CaRNIE MoG. BAKER.

Most Wonderful.

Very seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to equal that which was
on Monday investigated by a Dispatch

Curtis is the name of the young man in
question. He is now employed at H. K.
Porter & Co.'s Locomotive Works, Pitts
burgh. His disease was Chronic Rheu-
matism. The enormous swelling and
pain in the joints of his arm soon produc-
ed paralysis of his left arm. He gradual
ly grew worse, his ankles and knees were
soon even worse than his arms, his cheek
bones began to enlarge, spreading his face
out of all resemblance to his former self.

One Why OF Treating servants.

Boston Budget.
[ never shall forget the servants sleeping
rooms in a very simple household I once was
in. Everything was fresh and clean and
wholesome looking. The two iron bedsteads
comfortably made, the window curtains
sPot'esS, the tVTo bureaus neatly arranged,
the floor nicely matted, and with a STRIP of
carpet before elch bsd, and On the wall some
pretty G2l2re4 f,5eta.rss The lni,st;ress of this
genial, simple house told me that she i..50 cred
for year before she could induce her two
maids to see The beauty and comfort in such
order, but now they felt it keenly, and it
had affected their work and spirits very visi-
bly,. Near their kitchen was a small room,
which Mrs. - had fitted up snugly for
stting -Tco}cll and a place to take Their meals
il. There was a chest of drawers, in which
were their napkins and table-cloths and their
own bed linen, and nice, glass-doored case
showed their china. Ny friend told me that
for some time her maids actually preferred to
use the kitchen, but she finally won them
over to great pride in their neat littie room,
and she said the effect upon their characters
and work was speedily visible. Occasionally
she would bring in some flowers or
pretty, inexpensive ornament for them;
she took a good illustrated weekly
paper entirely for their use
requiring them to file it, and before long
genuine taste for refinement and surround
ings and manner had developed. These two
servants had come to her very uncouth and
untutored, but certainly when 1 saw them,
after three years residence with Mrs. =,
they were by far the most refined. respectful
and well-mannered servants l have ever seen
IN America. OF course some people would
aver this sort of consideration would spoil"
a servant, bat it seems to me that the very
first means Of teaching the servant of to-day
what she ought to do, is to make her feel
that her nistresSeS's house is her home, the
place in which she is to live, not the place
she is to work in as little as possible and
escape from during every possible hour.

The Adornment of Children.

providence journal.
There is nothing more beautiful than the
children of these days as they appear out of
doors and in the parlor. They toll not,
neither do they spin; yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of them. In
one sense this. is a public benefaction. It is
not only the eyes of the parents and friends
that are gratifed with the spectacle of the
fresh young faces in all the bloom of child
hood, and the lissom or tenderly toddling
forms set off with quaintness, brightness,
and an elegance of attire that add to the grace
and beauty, and make them figures of delight
and charm. They are q blessing and a pleas
uIe to all who see them, adding to the con-
tentment of the fortunate, and, save where

pang Of recollection, softening the stings Of
misery and despair. observation-disclosures,
greed, and the whole brood~of evil passions,
the absorptions Of occupations, and anxiety,
and all that makes life unlovely and painful
must yield somewhat to the presence and
sight of childhood, and they are blessing of
nature, as the flowers are, softening, reliev-
ing, and renewing the heart Of man. They
were certainly never so finely, artistically,
and elegantly dressed as now.

Dress and yyomanhood.

Cor. Milwaukee Sentinel.
Women who have control of sufficient
means and the inclination to spend it on
dress are few in number. While possessed
of larger liberty of choice, they are usu-
ally governed by a more refined and expert
enced taste, and by certain conventional
ideas which are scarcely known, much less
fully recognized beyond the limits of a cir
Gle, There is another class possessing money
and making q larger capital out of tho alb
sence of scruples and q restrictive delicacy,
and of this are the women who usually stand
as the representatives OF fashion, whose eX-
travagance and sensationals,n, fed by a doubt
full class of men, are made the synonyms of
American womanhood This false estimate
is all the more hurtful and mischievous be-
cause it effects the minds of young girls and
furnishes them with bad example, when
they need q high ideal, lowering their stand
ard below the average when they should be
inspired by every possible influence to raise
it to a higher level. Notwithstanding all
drawbacks, however, the actual science of
dress is gaining; the survival of the fittest
helps here as in what are considered more
important matters. There are constant adj
ditions to the stock of permanent ideas, and
the ''revivals'' which frequently take place
are in the line of that which has adapted
itself to the general requirements rather than
of folly, eccentricity and extravaganza

The Periss OF had Bread.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
We will assume the bread in all cases to
be made from mixture OF -four and water:
we win say nothing Of the other ingredients.
for these two only are to the purpose Such
q mixture taken into the stomach in the
state of a raw paste is almost absolutely indi-
gestible. It becomes a solid mass, whose fer
mentation is absolutely full Of danger II
on the contrary it is cooked. say baked, it
forms firm, hard substance, which can be
eaten, as we know, for a time, but which
few persons choose to eat in continuance.
What we do, therefore, is to puff up the
paste Of flour and water by means of an elastic
gas, and it is largely in tho changes con-
nected with this gas and its development that
the evil resides If it is formed properly, and
the formation finished, wholesome bread is
the result There are, however, two sources
of danger here indicated, only one of which
we can at this moment consider-tbat is, that
the process is not completed. Here is where
the whole evil of hot bread in all its evil
shapes reaches its elimination. The changes
in chemical composition, with the molecular
structure necessarily connected with them,
which are required to transform paste into
dough, do not cease when that dough is baked

for quite time afterward, and until they
have entirely ceased the material has not be
come what it ought to be-bread easy of di
gestion. It is burden to any stomach, to
weak one it is simply poison.
Here in lew words is the source of I'm
bounded difficulty and suffering. Hot bread
in any form whatever, ought never to be
eaten. Some forms are very much worse
than Others, but all are bad, and should in
reason be banisfed from every table. The
manner III which the changes are wrought
we may consider at another time.

Room for a New Society.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A suggestion was recently made from the
pulpit that there was room for new society,
which should teach husband and wife their
duty to each other Such an organization
would be useful only in the event of branch
societies. consisting of two members each, be-
ingformed in families consisting solely or
principally of married couples. The first arti-
Gle of the constitution should be that any per-
son applying for membership should solemnly
covenant and agree that throughout married
life he or she would carefully observe and
practice all courtesy, thoughtfulness and un-
selfishness to what is known as the engage
ment" period. The second article should be
that neither member of conjugaf palter-
ship should listen to single word of crit
cism of the other member from any relative
whatever, even should the words of wisdom
drop from the lips Of father, mother, brother
or sister. The rules of The new society need
not extend beyond these two, for there would
be nothing in the conduct of members in
good standing to require other special attcn
tiOn.
