HUMAN REALTY.
1t Is All Well Enough, But Doesn't Last
TnOp.

Jennie Chamberlain is now generally
quoted rs the beauty of the day. 1t
seems unfortunate that she was not here
in New York when Forepaugh adver-
tised for the handsomest woman, since
she might have carried off the $4,000
prize. As she is now, however. sur
rounded by titled admirers in England,
she may do equally well. Her portrait
has been painted by a London artist,
which certainly is important, consider
ing the evanescent character of the
original. Beauty, alas, is so short
lived, and then what an effort it must
be to resist the inevitable change which
time so cruelty brings! This leads
Young to rather unkindly exclaim:
AhI Why SO vain, though blooming i'll the
Spring,
Thou shining, frail, adored and wretched
Old age will come, disease may come before,
Fifteen is full as mortal as three score.
Another poet (Blair), who is still
more severe, writes thus:
Beauty! thou pretty plaything-dear deceit, .
That steals so softly Der the stripling's heart,
And gives pulse never known before,
The grave discredits thee.
When any one expects to travel
through life on good looks there must
be fearful consciousness of what Pope
says:
Years following years steal something every
And in view of this sad result, he also
eXclaims:
Was it for this you took such constant care
The bod<in, comb and essence to prepare;
For this your locks In paper durance bound,
For this with f1llets strained your tender head,
And bravely bore the double loads of lead2
Methinks already your tears survey,
Already hear the lOrrlu things theV.Sav.
JOHNSoN'S IDEAS.
johnson viewed beauty Gas he did
eyerything) from the darker side of ex-
perience, as may be seen from the fol-
lowing extract from the Vanity of
Human Wishes"
The teeming mother anxious for her race,
Begs for each birth the fortune of face;
Yet Vane could tell what ill from beauty
spring,
And sedley cursed the form that pleased the
King.
Pope, in his epistle to Fanny Blount,
moralizes thus:
Trust not too much your now resistIess
Which age or sickness soon or late disarms.
Love raised on beauty will like that decay,
Our hearts may bear its slender chain day;
As ffOwery bands in wantOnncsS are worn,
A mornings pleasure and ut evening torn.
He repeats this idea in another place
thus:
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll,
Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the
soul
This leads to the remark that often
the highest order of attractions is found
among plain-looking persons, or in
other words, that true beauty is char
acter expressed through the features
an idea thus neatly rendered by Young:
What's female beauty. but an air divine,
Through which the winds all gentle graces
shine,
Hence men are often captive of face
They know not why-of no peculiar grace.
That this is often the case is often
proved by the neglect endured by the
doll-faced beauties when under that
rivalry which the poet so neatly de-
scribed in the above extract-"MG-
cauLay" in the Rochester Democrat.

Big Hotel Bills.

The amount of money spent in hotels
in New York must be enormous, says a
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
QaIirer. was chatting with we'll
posted hotel man tonight who was
telling me about the prices paid by
some of the guests. ''The Hoffman
House." said he, "has guest who pays
$l15 a week for his rooms, or over S16
day, Admiral Maxse of the English
navy. His services and meals are eX-
ira. and must bring his bin well up TO
$500 week for himself alone. John
at the Hoffman. When James Nc
Henry, the London railroad man, was
over here on New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio business, he paid so day
for Il suite of rooms with private service
and table at the Victoria Hotel. 1t was
the same suite of rooms that President
Cleveland occupied when he held his
famous Victoria Hotel conference to get
acquainted with the prominent Demo-
Gratis of the country. There is Mr..
Dean at the Fifth Avenue Hotel whose
bills are about $50 day. He is a re-
tired Californian and has family and
several servants. He has been there all
winter. The Windsor frequently has
guests who require service to the amount
of $50 or $50 day. Mime. Barrios, the
widow of the Central American, was one
of the heaviest paying guests New
York hotel has ever known. She STOP

Gus family and large retinue of servants
