Wives For French Soldiers.

There is no place where well-to-do
widows have so good chance of ad-
vantageously investing their incomes
in the purchase of usbands rs at a
French military ball. The French
officer is not particular as to personal
charms or family. He is a good fell
lo", kno vs. how to make a little money
go a long way, how to avoid debt, and
has snowy qualities which women like.
There is no more domestic man, when
he has Chance of domesticity In
stead of going to boarding houses in
searcu of second husbands, the sonsy
relicts of rich and vulgar Englishmen
would do better to attend military
balls. Money and good reputation
will secure capital match. Both are
de rigueur. A subaltern has to get
his colonels consent; and, no matter
how high the officer, he is unable to
marry witnout the leave of the war
minister. There is a regular inquiry
department at the war office, for in
vestlgatng the antecedents of ladies
whose names are sent up by officers
desiring to become their husbands.
No marriage is possible unless there is
at least a dowry of 48 pounds year.
If there be a shady past, and it is found
out, the proposing officer is "blown
up" The regiment is looked upon as
family, and officers and wives treat
each other as if they ere all blood re-
lations. TIE officer who marries a
lady with a fairly good income is really
well off. He can. for instance, al
ways have two soldiers for domestics
-one for himself, and another for his
horse; but they must wear uniforms.
This is bar to making use of them as
coachmen. A snowy establishment is
not expected; but when there are am
pie means, hospitality of fraternal
sort is looked for by brother officers.

The Customs of Capri.

In an article entitled "a Woman of
Capri" in Woman, Beatrice Press
wood King says: They have a strange
way in this little place. | found, of
betrothing the girls to the young men
before the latter leave the town. AS
few of them are able to eithet. read or
write. long years pass by without a
word from the lover or ''spoza" reach
ing the patient girl at home.
1t is not rare thing to meet here
young couples who were engaged for
ten, twelve, or even fifteen years be-
fore fortune was sufficiently favorable
to allow them to ed.
One can not soon get rich on 80
cents day, and this is the wages of
man in Capri. This is perhaps the
reason why so many men leave the
island, leaving the omen at home to
take care of the vineyards and olive
groves.
1t is a very picturesque scene, these
women with their gay costumes, rich
compilations, bright, flashing eyes at
work in the fields, or leading their
hocks of goats up the mountain side,
to pasture. Their feet are always
bare and become so hard that it is
simply wonderful what they can en-
aure. They will walk over the roads
covered with sharp. flinty stones,
climb the rugged mountain-side and
be quite as comfortable as if walking
on the softest carpet. In fact, for
hardness their feet resemble those of
the western girl who, when told by
her mother that there was red-hot
coal under her foot, drawled out with
out moving an inch: (Which foot is
it under, mammy?" Yet the feet of
these women are by no means mi s.
shapened, but, on the contrary, are
perfect models for any artist.
During my stay on the island | en-
ioyed the rare treat of witnessing the
grand festival of San Antonio. this
being the great feast day of the year.
One of the most attractive features
to me was the procession of white
robed maidens vending their way
through the narrow streets lined with
whte-walled houses. From the top of
these walls friends and lovers Stow
cred down the sweet-smelling, golden
San Antonio fiori upon the procession
below. The girls were all wreathed
with flowers. and carried in their
hands either candles or lighted OGDEN
images, and chanted as they walked,
surrounded by clouds of smoke from
swinging censers.
Through the town and up the wind
ing stone stairs cut in the mountain
side they passed to the chapel, where
the religious services we're held.
After that came the feasting. and the
dancing, and the music, over which
they became greatly excited
The numberless movements of their
favorite dance, the "Tarantata," and
the easy, graceful forms of the dancers
as they swayed back ward and forward,
was indeed a pleasing and exhlarating
sight. The ''Tarantata" is danced by
three couples only, the men dancing
round the women and then kneeling
as suppliants at their feet. The wom-
en- raise them, and with airy move
ments dance round the men. Then
they separate into pairs, advancing
and retreating and again dancing to-
gether. The figures of the dance are
but small part of the beauties; there
is an Undesirable fascination in the
free and graceful movements of the
arms, head, and in fact of the whole
hodU
