the most expensive opera cloak worn this
winter belongs to Miss Letter, who is equally
at home in New York and Washington and
who is heireSS TO $4,000 600. Ter cloak is
IN white MORE plush, brocaded IN silver,
outlined with silver cord and trimmed with
white goats fur It's value does not depend,
however, on the material or make but ON
the jeweled clasps, which are ranked at
high figures, being in antique gold set with
large pearls
The School of Library Economy of
Columbia College is an institution which
tlourShes 1t is now in its second year and
it is opening a road to self support to
numbers of girls. Mr.. Melvil Dewey, the
Columbia College liorarian, is an enthusiast
on the Subjec. of librarianShip rs an occu-
patton f + women. He has addressed women's
clubs and branches of the Association of
Collegiate Alumna on the advantages held
out by the quiet, retired, scholarly work of
the library as compared with the stress of
competition and the nervous strain in other
occupations open to educated women, and
has laid especial stress with an eye 10 the
philanthropic spirit in women on the place
to be taken by the library of the future as
an educator. The School of Library Econ
omy was founded with a special reference
to the training of women, and though it
has men among its scholars the great ma
1Orlty are ot the other sex. 1t has twenty
three students, believe, this winter, though
the class was meant to include but nineteen.
Many applications for admission have been
refused, tine numbers presenting themselves
being SO large that choice Of the most
promising only was made. Many of the
girls are college graduates, Nassar, Smith
and Wellesley furnishing the larger pro
portion. If last years experience is any
criterion the graduates will be sought by
employment without needing to look for it
for themselves The school is n promising
indication of a new resource for women.

THE LATEST INSTANCE OF DRAMATIC Sue
CESS

CESS
on the part of an American girl in
England rejoices large circle of people
who knew Kathryn Kidder before she went
on the stage. That extremely slim young
person who has taken Miss Eastlake's place
as leading lady in Wilson Barrett's com
pany, used to exercise peculiar fascination
over everybody who saw her in 'Nordeck"
with Frank Mayo by reason of the most
flexible and willowy figure that ever living
girl had. Bernhardt was plump compared
with her, but Kathryn Kidder was exquis-
itey graceful. and it was the poetry of
motion TO see her walk She comes Of an
excellent family and used to be something
Of protege OF Jennie June, at whose resi-
dence she frequently gave recitations when
histrionlc honors were yet afar off. Her
grandmother, Mrs Margaret w. Ravenhil,
who lives in New York. is a thoroughly
charming woman, well-known in literary
circles.
Self-dependent women may not know
what an exemplar and stauncb champion
they have in Mrs. Christina +. Haley. She
is an alert, intelligent woman, who has
made a comfortable fortune in an unusual
business for woman and especially for one
who is more than ordinarily quiet and
retiring in her ways, so much so as TO seem
shy. The occupation in which she has sue
ceeded is the examination OF inventions and
patent claims Mrs. Haley is a pretty
woman who looks about 81, but must be
considerably older since She has two grown
sons. She is Chairman Of Sorosis' Committee
on Business Women and gives receptions,
invitations TO which are priced.
Somebody was telling me about doll col
lection the other day. 1t belongs 10 little
Miss May Sharpless of New York and
Philadelphia, who is supposed to have the
best assortment of dolls OF any child in this
country Miss May is years old, very
bright and sharp. and she has $1,000 900 in
her own name, which at present are alued
by her chiefly for their power in adding TO
her family Of dolls. Mays father was a
member Of the firm Of Arnold, Constable q,
Co., and died IN Paris some years ago, where
he was the resident partner of the New
York house. Ex-Gov Leon Abbott, of

LAFITTE.

The Pirate LATTE was one Of the most
dreaded buccaneers that ever sailed the
gulf of Mexico; his headquarters were at
Cat Island and Barritaria where jnst be-
fore his surrender 10 the Governor Of
Louisiana, he was known to have buried
vast amounts OF gold To keep it out of the
hands of the British who had already
captured several Of his cruisers. He had
buried gun powder keg full of gold,
and there were but two parties acQuaint-
ed with the fact. One was his bOatsman,
trusted man in all things, the other
was Marie Perry and OctOrOOn and the
supposed cOncuDine of LATTE, Black Jack
tempted by the gold made proposals to
Marie Perry 10 Zig il Up and run away
with him 70 Yucca tan. but Marie Was
faithful 10 Latitte and betrayed Black
Jack TO his master. 0Ie morning LATTE
while his vessels were sailing in the guilt
OF Mexico called Jack aft. lie told him
TO look over the bulwarkS into the still
calm blue sea below, Black Jack wond-
cred but did as he was ordered, the sea
in the vicinity of the yrs>l was alive with
man eating sharks They want break
fast Jack said Lafitte grimly to two
black Lascars Who stood awaiting his
orders near the mizzen riggin.
Throw this man overheard men" he
shouted "he IS traitor and no traitor
shall sail the sea with LATTE. The Las
cars rushed forward TO DO their masters
bidding when Black Jack fell on his
knees 10 the younger brother If Latitte
who always sailed with them. but never
took part in his murders and piracies.
"0h beg for me please DO. Master James"
he cried 10 Lafitte brother
But you are traitor Jack and have
betrayed your marter.'
-"Oh am sorry Nr. James. am sorry,
