WOMAN GOSSIP.
Reaiism on the Stage-Bare Feet, Small
and Beautifully Shapcd.-Insurance
Matter Of Policy.
Female Vanderbilt and the Annoyance
OF So Much WeaIth.-The Princess
of Wales.
PRETTY FEET.

Another woman who has struck
new idea is Miss Bessie Darling, says
the New York World. At Nelsc Wald-
ron's benefit at the Grand Opera House
she gave the sleep-walking scene of
macbeth" appearing in her bare feet.
Her feet were small and beautifully
shaped, so that the effect was pleasing
as well as realistic. As for the correct
ness Of the idea, there can be no dis
pute about that, inasmuch as Lady
Macbeth rises from her bed in SOM
nambulistic sleep, and in that condi-
ton would hardly be likely to put on
her shoes and stockings. Indeed, there
were no manufactured stockings in
those days. A strip of cloth or wooden
stuff was wrapped around the feet and
up to the knees, and held in place by
strings or straps laced like our shoe
strings. Actors of a generation ago
always wore such leggings when per-
sonating Macbeth. Aremnant of those
old improvised stockings may be OBJ
served upon the feet OF newly-arrived
Cinnamon. The first manufactured
stockings OF the ancients were Of coarse
material and clumsy fabrication. The
first silk stockings known in England
were knitted by lady of the court of
Queen Elizabeth for her majesty, who
was so delighted with their softness
and flexibility thu. she kept the donor
knitting silk stockings as long as the
august legs needed worldly covering.
That even in these days OF tight shoes
and French heels there still remain
feet free from excrescences and deform-
tiles, Miss Darling is a living proof.
Her feet are as pretty, as plump, and
AS pink as baby's before It begins to
walk.
Their pinkness reminds me Of Curl
GUS story Nine. (Patterson) Bonaparte
once told me. She said: .While Ma
poleon l. would never publicly ac-
knowledge me as the wife OF his BROTH
or jerome he did so privately by allow
ing me to be on terms OF intimacy with
the members OF his family, who, with

we're one OF themselves. One day
called on Caroline. Bonapartes sister,
and the greatest beauty Of her day.
She had just emerged from her bath,
and was lying on q lounge In her bed
room. The scantiness OF her clothing
revealed to me one Of the most perfect
forms that heaven ever bestowed upon
woman. In particular, her feet were
of the most exquisite shape and color,
the soles and undersides OF the toes be-
ing the tint of a tea-rose, the upper
portions rivaling lily in whiteness.
Noticing my steadfast gaze, Caroline
smiled and said
:" is not the blended color divinep
~ admitted that ! had never seen
anything so lovely.

BuRDENED BY WEALTH.

How difficult it is, writes cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for
anyone who, like Mrs. Hettie Green, is
burdened by wealth. to find place of
satisfactory deposit. She stored her
bonds in Cisco's vaults. and also placed
there several boxes of plate, but in the
midst of fancied security she was aston
ished to hear of their failure. No time
was lost in ascertaining the safety of
her property, but she could only obtain
it by paying nearly three quarters Of a
million, this being a debt incurred by
her husband. 1t was a painful recessi-
ty, but having been met she was allow
ed to remove her valuables, and the
question then arose where they could
be safely deposited. Her friends rec
commended the Chemical bank, but as
it was not judicious to place too many
eggs in one basket" she concluded to
divide the amount between the above
mentioned bank and the United States
Trust company, which had also been
highly recommended. In order to pro-
tect the treasure during this removal
she obtained the services Of a detective,
and under their joint care the bonds

place of deposit. 1t was the richest
load ever transported by cab. the
amount being estimated ut more than a
round 81 100000
Many of those who have read of this
female Cr9sus have wondered how a
woman could acquire such vast wealth.
1t is sufficient, however, to mention
that she is the daughter Of Silvia How
land, of New Bedford, who inherited q
half-dozcn millions from her father, and
was then the richest woman in Ameri-
ca. Silvia Rowland became the bride
of 4. NJ. Robinson, who was remark
able business man and also close
economist, and who in this manner so
increased their mutual wealth that on
his death it was estimated at $50, ,OO0,-
600. 1t is thus seen that Mrs. Green is
the only child Of an only child. each
representing an immensity of wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice. Her
habits of economy are part OF her in
heritancc, and will naturally prevent
her from deriving much benefit from
this vast accumulation Of treasure.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

The princess OF Wales is adored by
the English conservatives and radicals
alike, writes correspondent of the
Boston Herald, and it was lucky day,
indeed, for the heir apparent when he
took the sweet and high-mindcd daugh-
ter Of the king of Denmark to wife.
Her popularity is rivalcd only by that
OF MIR. Gladstone. and it Ii even great
er than his, for London is hers, heart
and soul, as we'll as the provinces. To
look at this pretty and girlish woman
no one would imagine that she was
forty years of age, and the mother of
several children. including two great
boys, one of whom has just attained his
majority. Although II. r. Fl. holds
herself so well that, when seated in her
carriage or in the box OF a theater, she
seems tall woman, yet in reality she
is petite. The princess dresses her hair
rather high, and wears high heels. She
is always attired to perfection, and u.s.
ually in white or black in the evening,
and in very quiet colors during the day;
but her costume at night, however
simple, is set off by the most magnif-
cent jewels, so that she literally "blazcs
like jeweled sun" Her royal high
ness is somewhat deaf. but not serious
ly so. The present writer has seen her
many times in public, and has always
been impressed with the grace and deli
cacy Of her type Of beauty, and the un-
affected goodness that seems to sur
round her like an atmosphere. The
princess Is always cheered to the echo
and fairly mobbed by the enthusiastic
public. have seen her seated in the
royal coach, returning In state from

The Dayton Journal tells how to get
here, and how to find hotel accommoda-
tons:
Springfield is reached from Toledo and
Cincinnati via Dayton, where delegates can
get refreshments and full information as to
the best route. Convention visitors who do
not care to stand by lamp post or lean
against the Champion Works all night, can
come down on a special train 10 DAYTON. and
return refreshed NJ It morning before the Sec
o-d table fellows at Springfield have had a
bite.
Indeed! If the convention had been held
in Columbus it wouldn't have been so con-
venient for delegates who could not get
satisfactory accommodations IN Capital
City hotels, to fall back on Dayton. We
infer that Major Bickham now thinks tha,
Springfield was really the right location
for the State Convention.

A circular sen. out from the Hllsbo-o
News Office claims that the putting Of a
local option plank in the Republican
platform, will draw thousands OF votes"
to the Republicans "from the Prohibition
party" but the Columbus Dispatch says,
with truth and force, that the Prohibi-
tionists want Prohibtion-nothing more,
nothing less" We hope the Republicans
will put nothing, whatever, in the platform
to "draw' certain classes, but SIMPLY put
in the platform precisely what ought to be
in it--snd then stand up to il and fight it
out, with firmness and persistence, The
Republican party is a party OF principle,

bonapprte, in conclusion,
A MATTER OF POLICY.

A beautiful and bashful young wo-
man of about nineteen summers called
recently at the Office of a life insurance
agent, SAYS the New York 7eioyrd,n,
and asked him timidly If he could tell
her how long people of certain age
would live.

replied the agent, "hc should, on the
average, survive eleven years three

till the 21st of April, 1896"
"Precisely, madam, on the average
