palarial splendois Of royalty could compare

traditional pathos of tho "lcnely spinster."
Her town house in New York repeats tho
luxury OF the seaside villa at Newport,
whose finishing, furniture, upholstery, art,
bric-a-brac and hijoutcrie have furnished
columns of description in the newspapers.
Miss Wolfe is stout, elderly lady, dignitcd
and courteous, but n woman whose horizon is
apparently bounded and whose aspirations
are satisfied by the splendor Of her exterior

cease to furnish focus of newspaper inter-

4 New Beauty.

New York Cor. Buffalo Exprcss.1
There is wondro,ls beauty down at Long
Branch. found the women there talking
about her In extravagant language, and even
among the men she was a common topic. Tho
discussion was unlike that which arose when
Ianytry exported herself from England for
our view, for the several reasons that in the
present instance of lovelineSs there is no ques-
tion as to its high quality, it is in no sense on
professional exhibition, and its possessor is
untouched by the slightest breath of scandal.
She is called the Queen of Cuba. Her name
is Dolores Cespcdes She is the daughter of
Ger. Ccspcdes who was killed about
fourteen years ago in the Cubans' rebellion
against Spanish rulo. Twins were born to
the widow q few months after her patriot
husbands death, and Dolores is
one Of them. She is a bru-
net,e from the neighborhool of the equator,
which is the same as saying that she Is
already more woman than child. She is
the most beautiful specimen of the pure
Spanish type that have ever seen, either in
p9lson OF picture. Her face, while charac
terstic of her nationality, is more regular
and delicate in its features than is usual
among her countrywonlen. Her hair is jet,
her eyes largo and lustrously soft, her cont
plexion rich and clear, ard hor expression
bright and aniable. Still more remarkable
than her perfection Of head is her faultless
ness of figure combining statoliness and grace
in both carriage and pose. Whenever she
appears among The dancers III q hotel parior
or the loungers on a veranda there Is nothing
el.o to be looked at. She dresses in e child
ish fashion yet, and not with any adherence
to Cuban styles; nor are her Juvenile MAN
ncIs at oil affected by the coqueti5lmess corl-
mon to the girls Of Cuba Her fan is not
used in tropical tricks and her eyes seem to
know no other than honest witchery. There
is an amusing appendege to Dolores Her
twin brother is a half head shorter than she
and as much behind hor in physical develop
mcnt; but he has gravely charged himself
with the duty of prot 'ction AMI his antaor-
tativo way Of Il a ling her peremptorly out
of a group, which to his mind has become too
masculine and admiring in its composition,
makes the spectators smile

The Decorative Wave ReccdiMg.

Mrs Burton Harrison in Harpers1
The wave of popular decorative art has
broken over us and receded. With it have
gone the sticks and straws Of incompetency.
Away floats many fond illusion of whilom
artists, who have reluctantly livod to see
their blurred ideals piled high on the cup
board shelf or bestowed upon the married
maid servant intending housekeeping. Torn
from the pedestal whence so Ing it stood upon
one weary leg, the immenlorial stork has
gone down the stream in company with sun
flowers and apple blossoms in every stage of
experimental presentment In plain words,
tho decorative "craze" has had its day.
Amateurs no longor creep in where artists
dare not tread. The legitimate aiorncrs o,
our homes breathe long sigh of relief. The
field is theirs. What happily remain with us
of the stimulating period just passed are
moro enlightene, taste in all these matters
and moro impartial understanding Of

Possibilities Of the Cucumber.

"It does not seem to be generally known"
says an exchange, that the cucumber is
one of the most useful vegetables VIC have,
and can be dressed in greater variety Of
paatable why's than any other except the
tomato 1t is better than squash and moro
delicate than the eggplant, prepared in the
same manner; can be stewod, fried, or
stufIel, and, above all, can be parboiled,
mashed up in butter and fried as fritterS,
more pleasant and easily prepared than any
other vegetable or fruit. When a cucuEber
becomes just too old to bc used raw or for
picking, it is then at its best for cooking,
ana may be used for that purpose even until
the seeds become hard. a raw cucumber is,
for mot persons, all indigestiblc abomila
