THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER.
Female beauty in America has become
so prevalent as to be actually at a discount.
Some of the most beautiful girls in New
York City are to-day to be found in the
dramatic agencies, as much for the sake OF
showing themselves to the world and gain
Aig some fame for their good looks as for
earning an honest penny" Many queer
stories are told of odd phases of character
to be found In these resorts. Undoubtedly
the dramatic agency is the last resort to
women who are driven to desperate means,
and their manner when they enter the
agents Office, for the first time, is often in
dicative of the awful nervousness which
takes hold of an amateur who first comes
In contact with anything or anybody be-
longing to the profession of the stage.
The better agencies are now run in busi-
ness way, however, and though they sug-
gest servant girl employment bureaus on a
large scale, the face of the women destroy
the illusion.
Said society young man: "Would a
well-bred girl, possessed of any feeling
whatever, possessed of the slightest sensi-
bility or sense. divulge the fact that she
had been proposed to by man and that
she had refused him?" / have asked this
question of several girls, and also of
several married women, and while their
answers were varying, | am confident from
what know of their characters that the
well-bred girl of honor and sensibility,
would never, upon the weightest pretext,
disclose what had passed between herself
and man upon so delicate subject. The
unsuccessful suitor is man who receives
very little sympathy, and usually there is
none more deserving of it than he.
By the death of her daughter, Mrs
Julia Jackson Christian, the widow of
Stonewall Jackson was left childless. AL
though General jackson was twice mar
ried-the first time to Mrs. Junline, a sis
ter of Mrs. Margaret Preston, the poetess-
he had but this one child, the daughter of
his second wife. Mrs. Christian was, as a
child, conspicuous figure at the cere-
mony of unveiling the statue of her father
erected in Richmond, Va, by his English
admirers. She was married in that city in
1887.
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
In pouring tea it is well to remember
that the tea which is poured last is little
stronger than the first cup, and that if the
guest prefer the stronger, his cup should
be filled last instead of first, as is usually
the case.
Any housewife is vexed and hindered if
the vegetable knife, or any knife which is
supposed to be sharp, becomes dull, but
very few will give immediate attention to
sharpening the tool. A kitchen should
have, with its furnishing, small grind
stone or milestone, which may be found
when wanted, and this should be used
often and thoroughly, in order that the
knives should be kept sharp. The waste
from pairing is not so great when the
knives are sharp as when they are dull
If the tins leak, have them repaired, if
they are worth it. Don't bother with rags
drawn through the holes, but take them to
the tinman, or get some solder and mend
them yourselves.
The greatest success in making Jelly or
jam is achieved when the fruits used are
of the first ripening.
Mrs. w. H. Maher says that "clothes
dry out much sitter when powdered borax
is put into the hot starch Just before using"
