Art OverdOne by Women.
No.,

think We are suffering from too much art
just at present The number of so-called
artists and art students is simply overpower-
ing All the schools of art are crowded to
their doors, and every man, woman and
child who can draw a straight line or a curve
wants to paint, or, more than all, wants a
studio. They like to be called artists and to
fill their place with bric-a brac and stuffs and

sell a picture outside of their family, but they

1t may only be a flower or bit of fruit, but
1t is done with real oils on real canvas.
This amateur talent seems to he RAMPANT
among the young women. They are all, it
seems to me, dabbling in oils, and, yet what
is worse, set themselves up as art critics.
You should meet them in a picture gallery,
airing their IDEAS on art. They rush in whers
others would fear to tread. There are many
of these young women artists for whom l

Bathing Sometimes Injurious.
[BOston Globe

Bathing is conservative of health, but all
persons do not find it so. A cold plunge
bath Is by no means panacea for all human
ills, as some seem to think. An occasional
wash from head to foot in winter, and bath.
ing frequently in summer, may be considered
among the valuable agencies for promoting
health. But l have known delicate people to
be injured instead of being benefited by cold
bathing. For most persons a wet sponge
passed rapidly over the surface and followed
soon by friction with a rough towel is bath
enough for health purposes When a cold
bath is not followed by good surface glow,
1t is doing more harm than good.

The Male glOuey.Seeker.

Cor. New Orleans Times -Democrat1
There is this, and only this, to be said in
extenuation Of the male money-seeker: A
rich girl can better minister to his appetites
than the maiden who can offer nothing for
his entertainment but pleasant conversation
and sympathy with his efforts for improve
ment. Miss Clara Cresus can give him din
ners at which expensive food and costly
wines take the place Of witty .alk and per-
feet breeding; she can give him a seat in a
carriage, which is certainly more COM
Portable than a rafting street-car; she
can save him the price Of a ticket by
inviting him to theatre party;
she can please him by elegant dresses and
luxurious surroundings; she can fatter his
vanity by accepting his advice as social law
and gospel; accepting it and carrying it out,
because he inherited his money from grand
father who began life as flatboatman, while
his father, porter on the levee twenty or
thirty years ago. has not even a single gener-
alton of education to support the aristocratic
pretensions of his silly wife and daughters.
She can bring him, perhaps, a fortune that
may be lost in day, or else thrown into his
teeth as sauce for every meal he eats in the
house bought with old Cresus' money.
There is nothing so paralyzing, so abso-
lutely killing, to all the manhood in man as
the marriage for money. Not one man in a
hundred survives such a crucial test. Not
that rich girl may not be loved for herself;
if she is gentle, unsefish and attractive, it is
equally cruel to her and to her lover to sus-
pect a mercenary motive. Nor are improvi-
dent marriages, where neither of the con-
tracing parties possesses a SOU, where a
household would be entirely dependent upon
the uncertain salary of struggling young
man, to he in any way recommended.
1t appears to the writer that money should
have no more to do with choice than the
color of the ladys dress If they have enough
to live upon. let them marry. If they are
poor, let the young man work and econo-
mze, let the girl learn all useful household
arts, and build up in every way her physical
strength; and then after the affection has
been we'll tested, strong in industry, rich in
confidence and affection, let them, hand in
hand, face the future

hketch OF a Female Editor.

Mrs. Harriet P. Spofford has written q
sketch of Mary L. Booth, editor of Harper's
Bazaar, from which we extract this pleasant
picture Of the lady: Toa man of business she
is merely a woman of business; but to the
poet she is full Of answering vibrations. She
values beauty in every form, betraying the
fact in her deep and intelligent love of
nature, in passion for flowers, gems and
perfumes, and an intense delight and thorough
knowledge Of music. Warm in her affec-
tions, quick in her feelings, cool in her judg-
ments, untiring in her energies, imperious in
her will, and almost timid in her self-distrust,
in spite Of her achievement, her character il
a singular combination Of strength on which
you can rely and a tenderness you would
protect, while there is a certain bounteous-
ness Of nature about her, like the overflow
ing sweetness and spice of full-blown rose.
All these qualities are held within bounds by
the shy and suffering modesty that will
make it impossible for her to read thess
lines. In person Miss Booth is majestic and
commanding, being taller and larger than
women usually are. Her dress is simple in
plainness when about her business, but rich
and becoming otherwhere, for she has the
weakness of other women about rare old
lace and cashmeres that are drawn through
bracelet. Her hands are as perfect as
sculpture and sparkle with quaint and costly
rings, and her skin, Of infantile delicacy and
rose leaf color, her dimples, her straight
short nose, her soft brown eyes and her pre-
maturely silvered hair worn rolled over
cushions. give her striking appearance that
approaches beauty.
