Cupid's Work BY Mail.

New York Journal: Hundreds of girls
and young man employed in the hat
factories of Newark are gossiping at IA
great rate over the elopement last week
of Miss Amelia Kelleger, pretty hat
trimmer, with Mr. Crosby Young, VINO,
although he comes from Salt Lake City,
Utah, is said to be against MormOnism
Until two or three weeks ago the elopers
had never seen each other, although
they had been corresponding for nearly
five months. Their elopement is the
result of n romantic courtship by letter.
Miss Kelleger was a trimmer in hat
factory where nearly fifty girls are en-
ployed. She is about eighteen years
old, of good figure, and has always been
counted the belle of the shop. Her al
most constant companion was mis-
chievous Bertha" or BERTHE Haffli, who
is employed in the same shop. 1t was
the habit of the two girls to write their
names on the bands of the hats they
trimmed, but about six months ago Miss
Hafili, in a spirit of fun, wrote the fol-
lowing note and fastened inside the band
of a Derby hat:
MY name is Amelia Kelleger. |
trimmed this hat, and would like to
correspond with the man who gets it, if
he is young, good looking and not mar
ried. Address care OF the name on the
hat tip"
Miss Haffli kept the matter to herself
until the case containing the hat had
been shipped from the factory. Then
she told Miss Kelleger what she had
done. Five. weeks later Miss Kel-
leger received a nicely written letter
from Salt Lake City, signed A. Crosby
Young. The writer told how he had

Let Women Propose.


Mrs. Lockwood answered the question
"Should Women Propose?" put to her
by a New York reporter in the follow
ing letter:
"Why not? In the ages past men have
married their preferences; women, their
opportunities! The man may choose,
the woman refuse. but she refuses at
her peril, us her decision may condemn
her to a life of celibacy, especially in
our thickly populated New England or
Middle states, where the women out
number the men. The man she accepts
may be in no wise the man of her
choice; but it may be marriage of
complaisance, of convenience, or of ne
cessity under our present system,
while the woman looks calmly on to
see another fill the place that she has
coveted, without any intimation in the
male breast of her desire, when little
more frankness on the part of the
woman might have added to the happi
ness Of both. A woman would be slow
to make application for divorce from the
man who had married her on her own
calm deliberation and request; while
the positive privilege Of making an
other selection should he refuse-and
the man would have the same right of
refusal as the woman-would give her
CONFIDENCE to approach the man whom
she deemed best suited to her condition
and happiness. Matches would be more
carefully made when considered from
both standpoints, and the glamour and
indefiniteness that usually hedged
around proposal would be wiped away
in the cool consideration of mutual
business contract.
And why should the woman not have
a voice and a choice in the man who is
to be her life partner, the father of her
children-and who is most likely to give
the tone and color to all of her after lifef
The majority of women never rise above
the character given to them by the man
whom they chance to wed, for chance in
the past has usually had more to owith
marriage than reason. The Catholics
make marriage canon OF the church
and indissoluble, but it is considered in
most of the states as civil contract. 1t
should undoubtedly be a civil contract
with the utmost mutuality, with both of
the contracting parties at liberty to
propose and to reject proposals without
otfense and without any violation of any
of the ordinary rules of propriety. The
contract should also be construed TO con-
tain equal property rights for the man
and the woman, and an equal control
over the children OF the marriage.
Why should the woman have more diff
dence in selecting the man who is to
wed her than in the selection of the
house she is 10 live in and its intricate
furnishings when the former has inf
nitely SO much more TO do with her hap
piness andaprosperity?
To propose has always been consid-
cred the prerogatiye OF queens, but in
this respect every American woman
should consider herself queen. 1t
was not until Queen Victoria had sig
nified to Prince Albert that a proposal
from him would be favorably received
that he ventured to make advances to-
that honored Lady. Queen Elizabeth

How the Emperor Looked.
I hear from Rome that the German
emperor only looks to advantage on
foot, writes London correspondent. He
"sits low,n the backbone being short.
With this the legs are long. His fig
ure, therefore, is an ungraceful one
for riding, the knees advancing far to-
wards the horses head, and the legs
and thighs forming an acute angle. He
has given up vino and bear-drinking,
does not eat much and absorbs quanti-
ties of tea. His face was drawn, and
showed fatigue when he was in Italy.
Every morning and evening packets of
papers were placed on desk in his sit
ting-room. He glanced over all that
was about himself, and, when he had
done 80, paragraphs of which he was
the subject were cut out by u secretary
aud pasted in scrap-book.

Nor even after that notable occasion
could those present determine whether

But when the other members of the

his delay to unwillingness to leave until
