MRS. STANFORD.

Romancers have had much to saw Of the wife
Of the opulent and general senior Senator from
California They have associated her tastes
with enormous OUTLAWS on jewels and lavish en-
tertainments until the world at large have
formed a very different idea of Mrs Leland
Stanford from what she really Is to those who
know her. The fabulous stories Of millions
IN diamonds, crown jewels and jems from
the caskets Of the vOluptuous Isabella Of Spain
and the unfortunate Eugene of France and
other sources, were best answered by Mrs
Stanford In conversation with friends not long
ago. IL appears that fanciful scribbler de-
scrioed her on one occasion as sparkling with
diamonds and gems valued at over "a hundred
thousand dollars. Referring to that fee .ure of
ner toilet at that time she remarked that
$1,000 would have been liberal valuation of
the jewels she wore. story is related in con-
necton With these ictions which is Amusing
A clergyman of an humble Episcopal parish in
New Jersey reading one OF these marvellous ac-
counts wrote to Mrs Stanford that he had read
OF her costly gems and after calling attention
10 the Tact that his flock were much in need of
an organ, suggested that il she would send him
but one OF the least costly gems in her coIIec-
ton he could realize a sufficient mount To
secure the sadly needed instrument
Still another of the amusing literary sur
Prises was description of one of Mrs. Stan
ford's usual entertainments to her lady friends
That they are elegant goes without saving but
upon the particular occasion referred to the
menu carus were speclncally mentioned, each
being described as set at the top with a rare
stone surrounded by an appropriate decorative
design In harmonizing colors. The price stated
for each card which was presented to the guest
as q souvenir was $780, The fact was that
during a visit To New York Mrs. Stanford hap
pened to come across some novelties in table
establishment and among them these cards.
Instead Of hundred dollars they cost about
sixty cents apiece. In this way q fictitious
Mrs Stanford has been created. The real Mrs.
stanford is a woman OF unbounded benevolence

A CURIOUS COMPLAINT.
1t Is Not the Tyranny of a Government,
But Long Sermons.
From Letter In the London Times.

From Letter In the London Times.
For many years past very large portion
of your space has been devoted to the wants
and troubles of Ireland No doubt the Irish
are very interesting people, but the Eng
lish people are as interesting as the sister
nation, and have their own grievances
which require redress, although We have
shot no landlords and murdered only
a very few policemen. Fairness, therefore,
requires that You should devote some Of your
space to the troubles of half urban, half rural,
parish in the South of England I am free to
confess that we are not oppressed by our land
lords, who exhibit the most kindly considera-
ton for the welfare of their tenants. We are
not bullied by the police, who are not extreme
to mark our little tailings, and are consequently
among the most popular members of our little
communicable friends of all men. We cannot
complain of the magistrates, except that they
are too lenient to all offenses except very seri-
GUS ones, and we are thus sometimes encour-
aged to offend again.
Our grievances, however, are quite as real as
those of any parish in Kerry or Galway, and as
English politicians have done so much to re-
lieve the wrongs of the Irish, perhaps Mr.
Davitt or some other eloquent Iisbman may
do something for Us, and thus the quarrel be-
tween the two nations may become less bitter
The particular wrong wish to bring before
the public attention on this occasion is the
length and uninteresting nature of the sermons
which We have to listen to every Sunday. The
unwritten law requires that We should attend
church, and this law is a much more real power
than many which are found among the revised
statutes. This grievance is, therefore, q very
serious one,

the wife of Henry | of England. who lived in
the early part of the twelfth century. in which
she Is represented as wearing the coverchicf.
1t differs i'll no material respect from the head
covering worn by her ancestors for five
h&ndred years.
With the Plantagenet family of monarchs
began in small way that rage for change and
variety in personal apparel which has con-
tnued with its GIBBS and floods for seven cen
turtles. Under the name of Fashion" 1t soon
became and has ever remained more despotic
tyrant than any Plantagenet ever was, and
thousands of husbands and fathers have, no
doubt, most ardently desired that it could be
bound within reasonable limits by a Magma
Charta," as was the Plantagenet tyrant at Run
nymede.
The first deviation from the coverchief is
seen in a picture of Queen Eleanor. wife of
Henry III. This lady, who IS generally repre-
sented in the illustrated school histories of
England in the act of compelling the Fair
Rosamond to quaff cup of poison, is shown IN
an authentic picture with her neck muffied in
what is varously called a .'wimple" or .'gorget"
which is held up and fastened by ornamental
pins to her hair at the side of her head. The
kerchief is not yet discarded, but hangs over
the wimple.
This modest change was only the entering
wedge, but it was the beginning and soon the
appetite for variety became and continued so
unsuitable that an accurate record of the
follies of fashion from that time until the
present would fill library. The contoise was
very popular style of head gear, which came
in vogue early in the reign of Edward III (the
first part of the fourteenth century, and was
held Ill much esteem even until the latter part
OF the long reign of his successor. The
hair was confined In 'retculated caul" of gold
net work. Those objects which resemble the
elongated ears OF the jack rabbit are denomi-
mated 'contose;" they frequently streamed
three or four feet behind the fair wearer. The
''contoi5e" were borrowed from the sterner
sex and they had been worn for long time
prior to this period on many gallant cox
combs helment-frst as a protection from the
hot rays of the sun, but later developing into
an ornamental appendage

Texas cattle, and the veil that covers them is
expanded to its full extent The coronet above
OF equally enormous proportions descends
from the forehead down the back on the head
and completes headdress which of size. en-
deavoring to be sublime, has certainly taken
the one step further and become ridiculous.
As will be seen, the ladies devoted much at
tention to the elevation of their head dresses.
The quiet coverchief of the Saxon and Norman
ladies had long been discarded for q more OBJ
trnsive and SNOWY dress, which made its way in
spite OF all opposition. lay or clerical, for il
was most vigorously assailed. and the writer
on dress owes much indeed to the satlrist of
those days for his ventilation of the subject in
his long, wordv TRADES. Jehan de Mem. a
writer of that time. speaks very distinctly of
womans horns and was well aware OF the FASH
lonable follies. After observing that these
horns appear TO be designed TO wound the men
he adds: Il know not whu ther they call them
glbbets or gallows. that which sustains these
horns which they consider so fine but venture
to say Saint Elizabeth is not in paradise for
wearing such baubles." satire cot Horns"
IN the Royal library at Paris tells us that the
bishop had preached against the eXtravagant
fashions, blaming particularly the baroness of
ladies necks and their horns. He told his peo-
pie on the approach of women thus dressed to
cry. Beware of the RAM" promising ten days
pardon to all who should thus CRY out against
them. by the faith | owe 81. Martin ex-
Claims the satrist. they make themselves
horned with plated hemp or linen and 50
counterfeit dumb beasts: they carry great
masses OF other peoples hair on their heads
by which 1t appears that hemp and false hair
were used much i'll the same way by the ladies
at that remote period as more recently.
Another satire in the British museum COM
mences thus:
what shall say of the ladiess
They iouk At a,h others heads and carry horns
me the beast: II any one be without horns she
becomes an object OF scandal"
Another, in speaking of the venaIity of the
judges, says:
III some noble lady. fair and lovely, with horned
head enciccled with Il, Judgment she dis.
patches her business without having to say q word"
Very much as at present.
The writer of poem, al this period. threat
ems with perdltion the wearers of horns, declar-
ing that upon these head dresses
Cup aloft may the devil sit soft,
And his foul sabbatls hold very oft"
Lydgate, one of the most celebrated poets of
that day, set his never wearied pen to the task
OF condemnation and produced "A Ditty of
Women's Horns" the burden of every verse
being an announcement that
''Eeauty will show though horns away"
In most of the manuscripts of the fifteenth
century We see the double horned head dress in
full perfection. In one of these a lady of the
time of Edward " is shown with high cone
shaped hat, the broad base OF which comes far
over her face. while half way up the side it is
encircled by an immense pair of long. sharp
pointed horns. from the base of which hangs
a veil to her shoulders
