The Girl That Carries a Cane.

New York Correspondence.
They walked up Broadway yesterday
at the lunch hour, when everybody was
on the street to see. They might have
been twins. They were tall and very
slim, but they looked graceful and
rounded. They had long oriental eyes,
brown, with black fringes, and brown
hair rolled UP high from their fore
heads. They WOre-but nobody noticed
what they wore. They carried each a
carved Josephine cane. We heard of
the canes iE Paris four months ago.
In London two months ago. We saw
canes in shop windows month
back. At last the cane has ap-
peared on the highways. The girls
walked together perhaps for pro-
tection's sake. There is a certain
amount of courage involved in setting
fashion. One girl appeared unconscious
OF the eyes fixed on her. She handled
her stick with the ease and quiet defer
ence due "a dainty piece of workman
ship. The other girl was embarrassed.
She swung her cane stifiy and glanced
down nervously at the ribbons tied
about it. Once she dropped it Oil the
pavement. The canes were slender
sticks of ebony. They were shoulder
high and might tap against the cheek in
walking. One curved over at the top in
the likeness of an ibex head. The other
was finished by round jewelled ball.
Long streamerS of gold colored ribbon
were fastened just above the hands.
They were not bad looking sticks. but
the feat of carrying them is too spectac-
cuiar for most girls.

much for which to answer as the other,
only the woman, because of her weak
ness, must ever be the greater sufferer.

she entrusts herself, will stamp upon

The Pretty Girls of Richmond.

Washington Post.
People who have gone to the EXPOSE
ton now in progress at Richmond speak
of the many handsome women seen IN
the crowds there. This observation is
no doubt we'll founded. Richmond is a
very provincial city, i'll many respects,
but she is metropolitan if not coSnOpOl-
itan in the beauty of her women, if this
meant that the beauty of her women is
unsurpassed. There are 10 pre-eminent
bellies in Richmond now as there were
in the days closely following the war,
when Matte Ouid transfiXed With both
her wit and beauty everybody she met,
but what has been lost in individual
celebrities has been more than made
up in a great multitude of Won
derfully attractive women. Many
of them are blondes. There is larger
proportion of blonde women in Rich
mond than in any other city in the coun-
try. This comes naturally and lawfully
from their English ancestry. There is
very little of the Spanish Or French in
termixture found in Virginia, and hence
the creole type of beauty is rarely seen
in the state. The world runs after
blonde or golden hair; and such hair as
the Richmond women have, 1t is a
special connection of the genial South
ern sun, and is as distinct in its beauty
as the golden leaf tobacco for which
Virginia is so celebrated. Ii man were

the jets of flame. If the light comes
from wall brackets the masses of the
ornament are apt to be shown with
chlaroscuro effects OF light and shade
rather than in separate details. and the
same with table lights. Some people
are pleased with one, some with the
other effect, but in determining be-
fOrehand the position OF lights in a
room this should be taken into account.
The chandelier will afford an eQuable
general diffusion of light but this is not
always desirable.
One of the most important questions
that must be considered at the present
time in giving an entertainment is the
one of lights, and usually the first
thought that enters the mind of the
hostess will be, What kind of lights will
be the most suitable for this occasion?
AS there is such variety to choose
from it is not strange that taste often
goes from the latest improvement back
to the earliest device, giving us the old
est convenience as the most modern
luxury: and thus it comes to pass that

Mrs. Brice's Protege.

New York Letter.
went up to the residence of Col. Cal
vim Brice last Wednesday night to hear
violinist whom L saw depart from that
same family six years ago-a Miss
Madge Wickham, of Indiana. Her
mother and Mrs. Brice were friends at
the town of Mansfield, O. In the course
of time the daughter of Mrs. Wickham
showed such talent with musical in
struments, picking up their art and
practice herself. that she was sent to the
Cincinnati musical college, where she
was something of wonder for
her apprehension. The faculty there
wanted her sent to Europe to be
a violnist, and | suspect that
Col. Brice and his wife had something
to do with the child going abroad. She
dropped down at Berlin, went to the
High school of music, and then had the
best private instructions until about a
year ago. When she had become gen
orally known through Germany a
manager took her for concerts through
out that country and to Italy, Austria,
England and Southern France. She
gave a concert at Convent Garden,
London, not long ago. Upon her re-
turn to this country, mistress of the
violin, it was seen that she had become
a handsome woman. tall, healthy.
strong, natural, capable of great en-
durance. and still passionately i'll love

HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE.
Jeffcrson's Advice to Those Who
Seek to Unite.

Boston Courier.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is great deal
of human nature and good sense in it:
Harmony in the married state is the
first thing to be arrived at. Nothing
can preserve the affections uninter-
rupted but firm resolution never to
differ in will, and determination in
each to consider the love OF the other OF
more value than any object whatever
On which the wish had been fixed.
How light, in fact, is the sacrl-
flee OF any other wish when
weighed against the affections Of one
with whom we pass our whole life. And
no opposition in single instance will
hardly in itself produce alienation, yet
every one has his pouch into which all
these little OppoSitiOnS are put, and
while this is filling, the alienation is in
sensibly going OH, and when filled it is
complete. 1t would puzzle either to say
why, because no one difference of opin-
ion has been marked enough to produce
a serious effect by itself. But he or she
finds his or her affections wearied out
by constant stream of little checks
and obstacles. Other sources OF dlScon-
tent, very common, indeed, are the
little cross purposes of husband and wife
in common conversations; a disposition
in either to critlzise and question what
ever the other says: desire always to
demonstrate and make him feel himself
in the wrong, especially in sympathy.
Nothing is so goading. on the part OF
either. Much better, therefore, if our
companion views thing in a light
different from what we do, to leave him
in quiet possession of his view. What
is the use of rectifying him if the thing
be unimportant? And if important, let
it pass for the present, and wait for a
softer moment and more conciliatOry
occasion of revising the subject to-
gether. 1t is wonderful how many per-
sons are rendered unhappy by inatten-
ton to these simple rules of prudence.

The Rock OF. Aiudah.

Aiudah! See the blackening waves advance
Against the shore. like armies to the fray,
Then break in silvery clouds, while rainbows
dance
In the long lines of diamond spray.
They strike, they break, they die on the
lagoon.
Like stranded whales, theirlong triumphant
swell
Now hides the PROSTATE shore; retreating
They leave the pearl, the coral, and the
shell.
So youthful bard, will PASSIONS surges roll
On thy young heart, do thou but seize the
Tyre
And wake the soul OF music. at her hymn
The threatening floods will suddenly retire
And on the strand of thy delivered soul
Leave songs whose splendors never shall
be dim. -Mickrewicz.

very lumpy amber necklace, and
spotted here and there over her capa-
ciouS body, dangled variety of

People have an idea that Miss jean
cite Glider, the brilliant editor OF the
Critic, is an oppressively masculine
looking woman, who always stalks
about in high, stiff collar and a frigid
severity of attire. Miss Glider is
nothing of the sort. 1t is true that she
is woman of unusual proportions. but
she dresses carelessly and comfortably,
and has a dark. bright. charming face,
both kindly and keen. She has no
''manner" at all. but her manners are
easy and agreeable: she talks well, and
likes a bit of gossip as much as any
other woman. She has no air of
superiority whatever, in spite of the
fact that she is the most successful
feminine editor in America. When the
Critic started. few years ago, people
admitted that 1T was ably edited, but
said that it could not live, and that Miss
Glider should have taken the advice OF
her experienced friends and let that
sort of hazardous venture alone. To-day
the Critic has a large and and steadily
growing circulation, and yields an UNI
disputed and emphatic power. 1t has
the courage of its convictieus; the abil-
ity of unusual brains; the independence
of its own good taste. >
