She Whipped the Washer.

A YOUNG WOMAN IN BOSTON SHOWS SKILL WITH
HER FISTS.
A Boston special to the New York Tribune
says: "A small crowd of men and women Just
out of the theaters witnessed an odd street
fight in Washington street, near the Adams
house, on Saturday night. As usual there was
a crowd of loungers, who are to be seen in that
locality at all hours of the day and night.
They were leering at passers-b by in their usual
fashion, when gentleman with two ladies
made his appearance. One of the women was
separated from her companions by an acct
dent, and a would-be masher approached her
with his face wreathed in smiles. He was clad
in long yellow ulster, and wore Derby hat
AS he lifted his hat and was about to accost her,
she wheeled around like fash. and hit him a
smart slap on the face. with the words:
what do you mean by insulting me, sir ?"
She didn't stop there, either, for as the man
rushed upon her and attempted to strike her
in most cowardly manner, she took q true
pugilistic attitude, and his blows glanced HARM
lessly off. Before anybody could interfere, she
had thrown her muff to the sidewalk, and was
delivering blows thick and fast upon her an
tagonist, who, although he tried to strike back.
could do little. A powerful blow delivered
with her right arm finally laid the young man
on the sidewalk amid the cheers Of the crowd.
He picked himself up and walked off at rapid
rate. while the young woman joined her COM
panions, not at all the worse for her adventure,

Prominent Health Evils.

From the Christian Union.
DIR. Lucy NJ. Hall, whose name is familiar to
the readers of the Christian Union as one of its
most suggestive and helpful contributors in a
recent interview on the health of women and
girls said that much of the ill-health of school
girls she attributed to the hurrying upstairs to
class-rooms, and pleaded earnestly for the in
PRODUCTION of elevators. She urged, what
every woman knows, that the way in which
girls are dressed. both from weight and re-
strictions. makes the going upstairs in haste a
most pernicious practice that results many
times disastrously. Against tight-lacing DIR.
Hall is most vehemently outspoken; she cites
a case to which she was recently called, where
the young girls waist measured twentv-eight
inches, and was laced to eighteen The girl
became ain invalid. Shoes-that is, the popu-
lar shoe-are also a source of evil in the devel-
opment of a healthy woman. DIR. Hall spoke
of another evil, that of wearing heavy cloaks in
church, theater and shopping. She says:
There Is still another thing that should
like to speak about, and that is the risk women
either unconsciously or indifferently take
upon themselves while shopping in our big
Brook YIN stores. They will often spend an hour
in a store, clothed in a heavy sealskin or wrap,
with the temperature of the store even warmer
than they would tolerate in their own houses
In the excitement of purchasing and looking
they forget themselves and are soon in glow.
Then they rush out into the street, sometimes
stand and wait for car, and when they get
inside sit near the door. The next day they
are down with cold, and wonder where they
caught it. / claim that this habit of keeping
heavy wraps on in warm stores is the cause of
much sickness. And this same habit some
women will insist upon adhering to in the
theater. L wish the American women would
do as the European women do when they go
to the theater, and that is, get up and walk
about, chat and visit with acquaintances, and
get their blood in circulation between the acts.
Why, it's perfectly abominable, this sitting
cramped up in chair for three hours without
stirring. To me it denotes a lack of compre-
hension of ones physical needs. have no
words of reproach for those men who go ont
between the acts l know there are some men
who avoid as much as possible taking lady to
the theater solely because they dread having
to sit still from the beginning to the end of the
play. But if l were present at the theater with
a gentleman should tell him to go out and get
exercise, for that is what do myself when 1
go, which, however. is seldom. 1 cannot see
why it is not just as proper for women to get
air and a little exercise as it is for men. 1
know it's not the fashion, but the fashion is de-
cidedly wrong"

Classic Paris Foot Gear.

Correspondence Philadelphia Telegraph.
have lately noted rather amusing detail
IN the classic costumes worn at the Coincide
Franchise. Most of the actors and actresses who
play the parts of personages of ancient Greece
or:Rome do not wear divided stockings under
their sandals, after the style in vogue on the
stage in England and America. With due re-
gard to realism the sandal is laced on the bare
foot of the performer, which is made up ac-
cordingly with as much care as are his or her
hands. being whitened, and having the nails
celicately tinted, and the sides shaded with
rouge. 1t was rather comical to see Mounet-
Sulley, in the scenes of strong emotion in
"Edipe Roi," wriggle his great toes in accord
ance with his agitation, and also to note how
pretty Mademoiselle Dumesnil. in the role of
the Priestess, curled up the extremities of her
dainty little feet she descended the staircase.
/ suppose we all act in the same way under
similar circumstances, not only visibly. 1t is
like seeing young lady make a courtesy in a
pages dress-one can observe exactly how il
is done.

Prof. Scomp, of Georgia, took the ground that
