A Famous Actress as q Beggal

One of the late Sir Francis Doyle's
sweetest and most touching poems was q
ballad (Which, believe, he never pub
hshed) having for its subject Q. tale told
to him by fair descendant of Mrs. Jor-
dan, the famous actress, whose equal
Macready used to say that he had never
seen on the stage. This tale related that
one winter day Mrs. Jordan passed in her
carriage poor woman singing with fee.
BILE voice In the street, whose stony
look of hopeless misery touched
the successful actress tender heart.
Stopping her carriage, Mrs. Jordan told
her footman to invite the poor woman to
call at her address in street close at
hand. The two women we're soon alone
together and the poor street singer told
her sympathizing interlocutor that she
was widow and had just been turned
out by her landlord, together with her
starving children, into the frost
bound street. Mrs. Jordan quickly
borrowed the wretched woman's shawl
and bonnet and the skirt OF her work
dress, and, putting them on, told her to
wait by the fire until she herself re-
turned. In few moments the silence
of the street was broken by q heavenly
voice issuing clear and sweet from the
throat OF the most exquisite ballad singer
ever heard on the English boards.
From beneath the tattered bonnet, from within
That unebbins tide Of music filed with life
the souls of all;
And the touch as of spirit to their huttered
pulses chung,
with q strange enchanting rapture, as that
ragged woman sung.
Arrested by voice, the like of which
they had never heard, the workmen
paused on their homeward journey
to thrust pennies into the singer 3
hand. Presently the windows of
the houses that she passed opened
spontaneously, and a stream of silver
fell at her feet. For three-quarters of an
hour she continued to gather in the
money harvest, which included several
gold pieces contributed by carriage folk.
Then she hurried to the starving widows
side, restored to her the borrowed bon
net, shawl and gown, and poured 9 flood
of money into her lap. The ballad
ends:
Not in vain from out her bosom had that music
torrent leapt,
For beyond her earthborn hearers star-crowned
angels smiled and wept;
And Q solemn utterance foated from oul
Fathers place OF rest:
Lovers Of their fellow-creatures are the beings
love best

The Return Of the summer Girl.
The summer girls are fiocking home
From seaside and from mountain,
From evenings whisper-laden glOam
And love song-tinkling fountain.
Their rounded cheeks are wearing now
The red Of summer roses;
Their steps are light as zephyrs blow,
And graceful are their poses.
Can girls be 3pvelier than these?
Can hope N such hearts slumber?
All, time flies cen for girls at ease

she wanted to become. The tight sleeves
of a season or 80 ago were not half SO
hard to manage as the leg O. mutton of
today, because now, If her arms are held
close to her sides, the pretty girl looks
like Mother Bunch. This style of sleeve
requires that the elbows should be held
well outward 50 as to "let daylight show"
between her arms and sides. The pecu-

make a slim waist look more graceful
and a stout one little longer, that is, if
they are properly arranged.
There were shown in one house three
beautiful dresses for young ladies for
home wear. One of dark green plush,
another of brocaded silk and the third
of white felt flannel. All were cut like

flannel, cashmere, yelling, Henrietta or

and sash and aumoniere are made of
white surah. Instead of the wreath of
artificial flowers, which is no longer
worn, is a dainty little close bonnet Of
lace, over which is thrown the veil 1t
is SO very simple that any lady can make
it. and it is in the newest style. The eye
has been offended long enough by the
tawdry finery seen on little girls going
through the streets on the sweetest and
most solemn occasion of their pure young
lives, and anything that will do away
with that ought to be welcomed most
heartily.

This was In the Thirteenth century,

an idea that religious federation then pre-.

there were then, apparently, more Chris
