Lady Macdonuld, wife of Sir John. of
Canadian fame, is n remarkable woman.
The daughter of q West lndinn merchant,
Miss Bernard left Jamaica as II girl and
was educated in England. At her fathers
old home she met the distinguished bar
rister, who w8s created baronet the year
of his marriage with the young southerner.
All unused to responsibility and court eti-
Cuette, Lady Macdonald accompanied her
husband to the provinces, and by her wit,
kindliness and tact soon established her
self as the acknowledged head OF dominion
society.
Since her advent into Canadian circles
her influence has been an unquestioned
force She is a thorough politician, has an
extensive acquaintance in this country and
England, and by many is thought TO be the
power behind the throne in the Macdonald
household.
Like all clever and polite women, she is
an accomplished hostess, and at the head
of her dinner table IS reckoned a formidable
enemy for the opposition TO encounter.
Tall and stately, gray haired and dignifed,
the charm Of her fine presence is only cx-
celled by her consummate art in CONVERSE
ton. It is highly dangerous for enemies
OF Sir Johns policy to come too near his
fascinating wife. More than once a Rad
ical voter has found his views take diff
ferent complexion altogether after n talk
with the brilliant Conservative - Illus

An Accomplished Telographer.

Perhaps the only society woman in New
York who has any practical knowledge of
telegraphy is Mrs Coils, wife Of Gen.
Charles H. T. Coils ex-general, el banker
and present insurance ma@nate. Mrs.
Coils, who is a strikingly handsome wom-
an, unusually ACCOMPLISHED, may really
be considered an expert at the art of tcle-
graphing. She learned when Gen. Coils,
then a banker, had a private wire connect
ing his New York and Philadelphia Offices
with his handsome Fifth avenue residence.
Mrs, Coils learned TO telegraph that she
might have little snatches Of conversation
with her husband during business hours
or his occasional absences In Philadelphia,
and 80 thoroughly did sheacquire a knowl-
edge that Gen. Coils declares that no tel
esraphic expert can click a message over
the wire with greater skill and flrmness
than his pretty wife can wire 'Please send

Has it never occurred to people to note

It something of her own state of mindl II
she is in her loveiest and best temper her
hair will go up quite of itself, seemingly,
and into the easiest and most beautiful
little coils. 1t adjusts itself at the most
becoming angle, and when all is done the
quintessence Of her amiable being brcathes
from the top of her head. But let the day
start disastrously, let her rise with her
''innard vane Printing east" and her back
hair will be the first herald of her misfort-

familiar demon. Il takes crooked ways
unto itself. 1t refuses to lie in any ac-
cepted pattern. Each individual hair has
a theory of it's own which it proceeds to
carry out. She pats and coaxes and
smooths, but the hair win not down, and
when she comes out TO the world her hair
and her temper arc at one in being tho
crookedest and most unlovely things in all
the world.-New York Evening Sun.

Don't BE Afraid of Pink Sugar.

A great many housekeeper5 do not I'M
derstand the use Of pink sugar in cake A
tri-colorcd cake is very ornamental. Make
one layer of pink, one of white, and one Of
yellow cake. The same rule serves for all,
using half of pink sugar and half of white
sugar for the pink layer; the yolks of three
eggs in tho golden layer and the whites
alone in the white layer. The angel cake
rule is a very nice one for this purpose. A
layer Of crab apple jelly, of white frosting
favored with orange juice or almonds, or
layers of chopped raisins or chopped figs,
may be used between the layers, and n
thick white icing should cover all. Pink
sugar costs but ten cents a pound, and can
be bought at any first class confcctioner's.
1t is too deeply colored to be used wholly,
but Is perfectly harmless, being colored
