A Masculine Woman.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Fail Mall Gazette.
The young Marquise de Belboeuf, the
sister of the Due de Mony, is as mascu-
line as her brother is effeminate. Her
latest eccentricity consists in riding in
the Bois every morning astride of her
horse instead of on the ordinary side
saddle. Accompanied by couple of
her male friends she dashes along the
avenues and bridIe-paths at a sharp
canter, creating immense stir among the
early habitues of the Bois. Separated
from her husband. always dressed in
the most masculine of taiIor-made
gowns, her brown curly hair cropped
close to her shapely head and a single
eye-glass fixed in her saucy eye. Nine.
de Belboeuf presents the most striking
contrast which it is possible to conceive
to her brother. the duke. who, it, may
remembered, figured few years ago at
some amateur theatricals in the guise
of premiere danseuse of the ballet
corps.

strictly correct.
The sessions of the cabinet are in

- after retiring he was awak-
.ened by fiuttering noise. as of bird,
around the curtain of his bed. He
sprang up, struck light, ana saw a
small, dark creature with wings, blum
dering about the room.
Not being well verSed in natural his
tory. he did not recognize it as bat;
but thinking queer kind of bird, he
resolved to catch it, if possible, and ex-
anime it by daylight. So he took his
felt hat and attempted for a long time
i'm vain to capture the intruder, but at
length he pOunced upon it, carefully re-
moved it from his hat with his hand.

struggled for few moments to escape,
ana then went to bed and was soon
asleep. ~ .>a
But he was not destined to sleep long.
Hardly had he dGZed off when a further
futtering awakened him. and lighting
another match he found a second bat.
He had an exciting scramble before he
caught this one, but finally he sue
ceeded, and put it in the drawer with his
companion and again retired.
Again, however, he was awakened in
a similar manner; bats came not in sim
gle spies, buff the expression be al
lowed-in ''battalions." Each speci-
men was carefully deposited in the
drawer. At last. after an unusually
long chase, he was so heated that he
opened the window, and, having re-
tired exhausted, enjoyed a few hours
sleep.
When he awoke he jumped out of bed,
and opened the door very cautiously to
look for the prizes of the night: but,
10! there were no bats there! He
opened the drawer wide; and then dis
covered that it had no back to it. He
had, in fact, spent his night in catching
the same bat, which had flown out at
the back of the drawer as soon as he
had put it in at the front. and. when
the window was opened, had finally es-
caped.
