Home Life Of Southern Women.

The charm of Southern home life is
all-pervasive, and it radiates from
Southern young ladyhood. A creamy
complexion with faint pink flush
underneath, soft eyes with n world of
dreams in them, round figure, tiny
hands and feet and kittenish ways
make it no marvel that the youth
masculine Of New Orleans is mostly
married at twenty-three. These love-
ly demoiselles make fascinating stud
les. They read clever books and dis
cuss their finger-nails; they are shock
ed at the conventional appearance OF
the three-lettered pedestrian member,
but are enthusiastically devoted 10
the ballet. AT seventeen the New Or
leans girl is Il charmingly developed
poem, in which coquetry and an ex-
cellent idea OF matrimonial necessities
make well-balenced meter and admit
rable rhyme. She is innately and en-
tirely domestic, lovable and loving,
asking only to be shielded from the
facts of life, and permission 70 unlim-
tied plrouette.
One seldom sees a plain-looking
member OF the fair sisterhood under
twenty-five. After that the whole
beautiful structure is apt 10 be col
lapse. But in the day OF her beauty
and brightness the american girl OF
the South is an unparalleled example
OF beautiful womanhood. She would
rather hirt than vote, and much pre-
fers the requirement Of the Konsing-
ton stitch to the practice OF medicine.
She has numberless cousins, all deeply
in love with her, and usually returns
the the tender passion 10 a limited and
discriminating degree, but doesnt take
il seriously.
The society girl here has no more to
say than a Northern belle, but che
says it better. Conversationally, as in
every other way, she is graceful, arch
and in excellent taste. She is not el-
oquent, but her eyes are, and the
thick play of life and shadow in her
face, the unobtrusive action OF her
suggestive little hands and the ever
changing emphasis and infection OF
soft-syllablcd words put a world OF
meaning into her most ordinary re-
marks. The only respect in which
her taste is questionable is her unlim-
tied use OF cosmetics. / have yet TO
meet pretty girl who does not endea-
vor to enhance her beauty and succeed
in fastening its destruction by the as
OF the powder-puf-or a mar
ried woman or an old maid They
all do it.

ken measures to insure herself against
the annoyance of ever being lace to
face with him again.
But it should not end here. OF that
he was determined. He would al
least see her once more, and compel
her to believe that when his craven
wavering had drawn to a close he
knew himself to be hers, body and
SOUL He get down to the carriage
some way, and was driven home.
But he was a good deal knocked up
by the exertion of removing, and
suffered slight relapse that kept him
to his bed for week or so. The old
familiar scenes were now, too, changed
to him, and touched him as being bar
rem and wanting in meny ways.
When he rallied a bit, and found
himself in possession of a little OF his
former strength, the first use he made
of it was to drive straight to the hos
pital. He was shown into the ma
irons room, where he thanked her
courteously if little absently, for the
care conferred upon him whilst under
her roof. And that he said casually
that he thought he should like to thank
his nurse Also 1t was with pailing
cheek he said this, and with eyes
downcast
"Nurse Eva ?" said the matron. 20,
she left us quite fortnight ago. We
were so sorry to lose her, she was such
an excellent nurse. / am sure you
too, Sir Rawdon"-with a smile
"will lshave a good word for her on that
score"
"Left" 1t was all Sir Rawdon
could say.
~Yes; almost the day after you did"
You know her address, perhaps 2
When he asked this, he felt like a
drowning man grasping at a straw,
and he knew the straw would fail him.
"No," said the matron regretfully.
She thought him very kind man.
Gratitude, as rule, is not an overpow-
ering passion with the many. "Bnt
do not fret about that" she said. "I
am sure she understood that you
would wish to thank her. Yes, she
was an excellent nurse-so sympathet-
ic; we were sorry to lose her."
Sir Rawdon rose to bid her good
bye.
Il suppose DIR. Bland would not
know her address ~ he said.
"No, / am sure of that. She went
away very suddenly-for family reas-
ons, as she told me-and left no word |
with any one as to where she was go
ing. Goodbye, Sir Rawdon; so glad
to see you so thoroughly restored, etc
Sir Rawdon, returning her farewell,
told himself he was not 80 fully re-
stored as she kindly imagined, and
that his strength was by no means
what it used to be.

II the sad old world should jump a cog
Some time in its dizzy spinning,
And so of the track with q sudden Jog
What an end would come TO the SHINING
life
For the millions of people In IT.;
What q way out of care and worry and wear
All In beautiful minute.
As round the sun with curving sweep
1t hurries, and runs, and races.
should 1t loose its balance and go with leap
Into the vast sea spaces;
What blest relief 1t would bring to the
grief,
And the trouble and toll about us,
To be suddenly hurled from the solar world,
And let 1t go on wfthOutus
With never a sigh or a sad good-by
To loved ones left behind us,
We would go with iuuge and mighty
plunge
Where worms nor graves could find us.
What mild mad thrill our veins would I'LL,
As the great Earth like q feather,
should float through the air TO God knows
where
And carry us all together.
No dark. damp tomb, end no mourner's
No toIling bell in the steeple,
But In one swift breath painless death
For a million billion people.
What greater bliss could we ask than this,
To sweep with birds free motion
Thro' leagues of space to resting place
In a vast and vapory ocean.
To pass away from this life for aye,
With never q dear tie sundered
And a world on fire for our funeral pyre,
While the stars looked on and wondered!
