Collet, by which name she was known
until she rea ched the age of twelve
when she adopted the pseudonym of
Pauline d'Artos. Maria in her girlho0d
was what would be denominated a street
Arab in an American city. She was
dirty, ignorant, and far from at

she Is native Is famed for the early de-
Velopment OF its women, and Maria was
no exception to the rule. Before she
had turned her eleventh year she began
TO snow signs of the remarkable beauty
which grew with her growth in after
years. A kindly and wealthy wine
dealer of Oporto was attracted by the
girls appearance while she was rOmD-

her family was and the misfortune that

strange fascination in their wondrous
depths, and her form had rounded into
a ehaste contour that was the perfection
OF physical beauty. Naturally intelli-
gent and with wits Sharpened by her
long life in the streets, Maria was soon
at the head of her class, and when she
visited her mothers home she was
scarcely recognized. The wealthy Wine
dealer was, of course, delighted with
the progress of his protege, who on her
fifteenth birthday rewarded his kind
ness by running away with a lion-tamer
connected with the Royal Circus at
Madrid.
For two years nothing was heard of

known as Pauline d'ArtoS. She had
tired of the lion-tamer after a honey-
moon OF six months, and was the petted
companion OF a young London society
man, whose brains could be put in tin

In the Nineteenth Century for April
DerOthea Beale writes against having
girls educated for the home by learning
cookery and needlework and arithmetic
enough for accounts. These home arts,
she says, are easily acquired by those
whose mlndS are well trained, and the
place for them to be learned is home.
But can it be possible" she asks, ''that
such things can compare in Importance
with studies in elementary physiology
and the laws of health?' 1t certainly
is impossible to overestimate the i'm
portance of the latter subjects, but
should rate the subjects contemptuousIy
put aside by Miss Beale as s'such
things" equally high. But when all is
said and done, and the battle has been
fought out again and again, the fact
will remain that there are in the world
hundreds and thousands of women upon
whom the higher education is completely
thrown away. And there are hundreds
and thousands of men to match.
As these women marry early
(and not always the men to match),
surely it would be well to have them
trained in common duties. A girl into
whose silly little head no one could
hammer proposition of Euclid, to
whom history is confused medley of
stupid names and dates, and the mere
word of physiology" a sound without
meaning, might surely learn, with adj
vantage, how to choose joint of meat
or fowl or fish for her husbands dinner,

Our girls have begun early to go to

shape, trimmed with ribbons and POM
pons, but no flowers, and her jaunty
little mantle, hanging down in tabs and
punched ribbon in front, was iauntilv

Pearl gray, touched off with black, was
her color. She was emotionless
and placid in watching the play.
IN contrast, to her was a gay beauty
IN an aureole hat, summary dress and
altogether picturesque get-up. You
may take her as a good illustration of
next summers Seashore belle. She
looked tritie raw and cold that day,
because the wind was brisk and the sky
overcast; but in bright, warm sunshine
she will be a pretty sight, and will
easily command admiration. Not far
from these two different, and yet not
uncongenial girls, was one who repre-
scented current flashiness beautifully.
she was physically glorious maiden,
with form supple, yet well rounded,

up Dy eyes.
But she was sassy thing, topped by an
immensely picturesque hat, and CARRIED
in striking colors. Her mash pulled

the grand stand, and their comments on
the game were loud and constant. She
was chorus girl from a Broadway
theater, and she was taking an after
noon outing with her best chap-not
dude from the front row, but young
stage carpenter. Two or three of the
theatrical Washers spoke to her, but
she was, for the occasion at least, con-
slant to her plebeian escort. She drank
beer with him, and declined cham
payne with them. Could chorus

her brief span of existence an expert

old command IS to COO per bushel, but there is

Hay has been arriving more freely, and the
market is easier on ordinary grades, which
range from sl4 to s17 per ton. Choice grades
sell readily at SIS to $40, and some extra cars

plentiful, and grades which week or two
ago would sell at s26 are not now worth over
