Of letters confesses that he owes much of
his success to his wife. Mr.. Gladstone
loves to tell of all his wife has done for
him. President. Grevy also paid gener-
Gus tribute to his wife's usefulness.
But when the world talks OF all man
has done, 1t seldom takes note OF the
help some woman NAV have been to him;
for instance, 1t is rarely said, although
tolerably well known, that Mendels-
sohn s sister, Fanny, wrote several of
the exquisite ''songs without words'

tributed uch to his musical fame.

DIscreditable Work.

The women who write sensational sto-
ries of the worst sort are bringing q good
deal of discredit upon the efforts Of
women in literature, but as matter of
fact these women are not making efforts
in literature at all. Their work has no
more relation to literature than band
Gon-painting has to art. 1t Is true
that one or two Of these cratic writer's
have shown power which II rightly di-
rected might have made them capable of
excellent work. But there is absolutely
nothing to commend in the latest stories
of this sort. Meanwhile there are plenty
OF women contributing high and fine
work, particularly in short stories, to
our American literature. The suggest
ion of the New York Evening Post, at
would be curious outcome of the pres
eut tendency il 1t should ultimately be
necessary to debar carefully reared
young ladies from all books written by
their own sex, aud limit them strictly to
literature supplied by men, - is doubt
less made in a jocular rather than sa-
tirical spirit. There is too much good
work being done for these pseudo books
to affect our times much. In field of

LIKE A ROSE.

She was most like rose.
Not only that her beauties knew a thorn
As keen a. the wild briers that adorn
The shrubby uplauds. where the mullen grows
But that her face held, here and there,

That gave it thrilling warmth. as one might
say,
On glaucing at a colored Pousse Cafe,
When unsuspec:ing, in some sweet repose,
And happening upon her. you or l,
Might find the dropping petals Of sigh
Fail frocl the trembling lips, from its bell
OF houeyed sweets the summer blossoms fall,
And when her eyes. all dewy with delight,

Notes.


The newest fad for hairdressing is for
waved hair.
Boas are not knotted, but tied with a
narrow ribbon.
The blue of the cornfower Is the latest
rage in Paris.
All the newest dresses have one flounc e
around the hem.
1t is going to be the fashion to wear
small bouuets ct the theaters.
The couture worn with a large hat is
either loosely kuotted or twisted at the
back.
CoIlarettes made of velvet are consid-
erabiv worn as finish TO street costumes
OF cloth.
Shoulder-knots of ribbon are added to
ladies.
LounginG robes in plailed woolens ara
cut in rediueote style, with seam across
the hips and lmrge pockets.
Dresses o! cloth have the lower por-
tions of the skirts draped with silk or
velvet in festO0u fashion, and caught up
with rosettes, bows or large fancy but
tons.
StaTched linen collars and cuffs are to
be worn with wooden dresses this winter,
or crossways pieces of batiste or other
white frlling. The unralIeved band of
the dress is no longer in favor.
Leather buttons give added chic to the
tailor made gown. An appropriate fin
ish for the edge of such gown Is the
turning up of the hem on the outside
and finishing it with several rows of
stitching.
Another style has fitted body OF bro
caded velvet, with the upper portions of
the very full sleeves OF plain velvet: be-
low these are the wide cuffs of brocede {:

Sound Counsel.

Never tell anybody an unpalataole
truth when it can answer 10 good pur-
pose. This sort of unnecessary eandor is
sometimes prompted by malice, some
times by mere looseness of the ton que.
If you have taste for sharp repair tee,
restrain It. 1t is better to lose jest
than friend-to miss an opportunity OF
saying "good thing" than to make
an enemy.
