lLe1HnQ'S London Letter.
The most perfectly fascinating creature
which the Anglo-Saxon race ever produced
was the typical belle of Baltimore, the repre-
sentative Of the whole south. In her grace,
her tact and fascination one quite forgot that
she would have been quite the same thing if
she had been unable TO read. Perhaps she
never did read, not even novel. Even when
she had little culture, it all ran to accom-
plishmenJ," and its real use was only to
Ct arm tie men a little more.
This type Of girl, still common in America,
and till of late common in England, is disap-
pearing with incredible rapidity. 1t is go
ing with tue long hair which was once the
GROWING glory OF woman, and with it is go
ing much that was once held to lie essential
t. guard life and society from utter ruin.
have dwelt on this because it is becoming
so common here that not to comment on it
would lie TO ignore the most remarkable
phenomenon of English life as it at present
exists As girls realize that it is becoming
more difficult TO marry with a certainty Of
being able to live as well as they did at
home as there is a growing unwillingness TO
raise large families and be left as poor widows
to support them, as, in fact, ali the old ideals
disappear. and new ones of being able to
make a living and be independent and bird
fresn are developed they are becoming care
less ss to beauty, Indifferent as to being
charmers
A poor young man in England who is in
no way distinguished either by family or
works is indeed to be pitied. Women, old or
young, speak of him as nuisance. The only
interest which he excites is wonder why he
cumbereth the ground. Now, as all men
cannot be rich enough to marry poor girls,
lei them work ever so industriously, this is
| manfestly hard for them So they emigrate
OF 81 to the bad, and 50 the dance goes on.

Two ROYALTIES,

Another girl is just from the Berlin court.
At her feet are group of maidens lying on
rugs, plying her with questions "Now tell
us about the empress. She is so old, can she
look regal any more" comes from an unmis-
taxable Philadelphia maiden. "Poor thing"
replied the American girl, who is never
greatly impressed with royalty. "She is
good old thing" this very patronizingly),
but she is guy on state occasions." And
then she wildly drew a picture for us of the
aged German empress, nearly so, unable TO
stand, thin almost to skeleton, withere1

her trains, with diamonds and emeraldS in

Women Who Love Flowers.

lDpSlpu buuStJ.l
Flowers go ahead of all other gifts in win
ming woman's heart, and every young gal
liant knows that" said the dealer
Why So"
well, nearly all women love flowers, and
there is something SO delicate, so much I'M
said, Yet suggested, in flowers, that the simple
gilt Of one is always appreciated by woman
net to speak of the different sentiments
that are associated with different kinds of
flowers. 1t is very interesting to note how
differently people regard flowers, Why, |
can tell almost the moment woman enters
whether she is fond of them Women who
love flowers always have sweet faces,
soft ways and gentle dispositions. One of that
kind rarely asks for the fashionable flower
because it is fashionable She loves flowers
fer their own sake, and consequently she is
almost sure to call for her favorites, whether
in fashion or not. The woman who cares for
flowers simply because they are fashionable
is generally one of the cold, naughty, airy
kind She will look around critically, seize
some flower and pull it out of bunch, some
times breaking off a leaf or catching one OF
its thorns in another rose and tearing the
petals. That's the difference, You see. The
other lady handles them with gentle, ca
ressing touch, almost us if they were human.

If you want to be good housekeepers, girls
begin with your own room, and your own
clothes That is what your mother will
probably tell you if you rush to her with
suddenly formed good intentions of relieving
her of half her housekeeping Arrange
your bureau drawer, relieve your closets
pegs Of their burden of garments not in use
Put your whole room in cloan and pleasant
order, and learn to keep It thus, Find out
by studying; it is the best and easiest way Of
keeping all fresh and dainty about you.
Have your own dust cloths and sponges for
cleaning, bottle of sweet oil and turpen-
tine, and piece of flannel to restore the
polish where dark wood is spotted. When
You have learned all this SO that it is easier
to do it than let it alone, and no more
trouble 10 you than to dress yourself, then
you have learned enough to keep whole
house in clean order.

A baltimore Heiress.


Miss Garrett, of Baltimore, daughter Of
the banker and railway king, recently de-
ceased. inherits 5000, 900, fact which will
be likely to excite deep interest in the minds
of noble wooers on the other side of the At
lantic A good many of them first and last
have found brides in Baltiniore-kings,
dukes, marquises and barons-but it has
hitherto been rather celebrated for the beauty
of its bellies than for their wealth. The
Cations, Pattersons and McTavishes were
well to do people, but of no great opulence,
as it is measured nowadays, and the con-
quests of the ladies of these celebrated houses,
one of whom married a Bonaparte, another
a marquis of Wellesley, another a duke OF
Leeds, must be ascribed TO their beauty OF
fascination rather than to their wealth.
Miss Garrett is the greatest heiress which
the beautiful Maryland metropolis has ever
produced; one of the greatest in the country,
rivaling Miss Mackay, who is recently be
trothed to young gentleman of the princely
49, IS Colonna, and the former Miss

a Remarkable Cure of serofula.

William S. Baker, of Lewis, Vego
county, Ind, writes as follows: my son
was taken with Scrofula in the hip when
only two years old. We tiled several
physicians, but the boy got no relief from
their treatment. Noticing your Scovill's
Sarsapariila and Stillingia or Blood and
Liver Syrup, recommended so highly, l
bought some of it of you in the year 1862,
and continued taking it till the sores fin
ally healed up. He is now 81 years OF
age, and, being satisfied that your medi-
cine did him so much good when he used
it, we want to try again in another case,
and write to you to get some more.

The Reason why.

Out of 500 graduates of Nassar college, tina
report comes, that only ISS have married
less than one third. Some unnecessary
laments have been made over this fact, but
the reason of it is explained by a graduate Of
two years ago, who said: a did not marry
because tie men who asked me were such
idiots | wouldn't have them, and the in
tellectual men l should like to have been
asked to marry preferred to marry girls who
didn't know much, so prefer to remain an
old maid. couldn't be happy with man
without intellect and one / should have to
look down upon in that respect.
