Modern italian Young Women.

In the middle classes ffue dressing out Of
doors has 70 be combined with an ability
(real or supposedly for keeping house. Fond
mammas regsla young msl with stories of
their daughters proSsss in cooking in a
manner worthy of Goidsmieh's Mrs.
Primrose" and have. even besn known to
set the hopeful young women to sweeping
and cleaning as soon as the expected ring
was heard at the door, in order thst the
hesitating aspirant might be brought to
declaration by the sight Of the girls capac-
ity as mental servant. Under these cir
eumstances marriage becomes simply an
escape from intolerable drearineSs
The idea of-ehoosiRg q husband TO whom
she can prove faithful wife rarely enters
the Italian girls head. She must be mar
ried that she may be fFee. Some man of
her acquaintance thinks she makes good
figure in the society he frequents, finds
that her dOwry is sufficiently large, and
tired Of living" or DESTROYS of settling
down proposes for her hand. The young
wife, if she belongs to the upper classes,
finds herself suddenly iii the possession of
unbounded liberty Her chief duty is TO
act as a sort of clothes peg, that the world
may praise her husbands liberality. She
can now go out alone, and having little TO
do at home, spends most of her time cali
ing, promenading and gossiping. - st.

The Photograph Album Retired.

The plush covered and leather bound
album has been banished, not only from
use, but from the house. There was
good deal of romance about the book and
some Of us may lay it aside with regret,
but the fact remains that ii has had its
day and that settles the matter In the
bon bOnniere, in the enamel brooch, in the
card case and in the back of the tablet
there is q space for the sweet face and the
memories it calls up, while the man with
sentiment IN his soul and a secret locked
up in his heart can get leather case with
room for the wife, mother or child.
For the cards and cabinet pictures of the
men and women who come and go, leaving
their influence on our lives, there are fold
ing cases bound in leather or artists silks,
with a capacity of from two to thirty pho
tographs. These book frames can be hung
up, used as panels along door or fireplace,
or put on a shelf or table.
The most popular receptacle, however, is
a box. You can get a chest made after the
style Of cigar box of any size desired, and
decorate it to suit your taste or the sur
rounding room. A lining of satin or vel
vet is easily applied with 1nucilage, and if
at all skilled III handling the brush some
wild flowers or a mask of Folly will en-
nance It's beauty. A tin box such as water
crackers come in, is not bad, smeared with
luster paints, but an oak box is better,
since it serves as 4 seat when not open,
and a palm or mallaca box is best if
sweet odor is desired. These are for the
floor. For the table something more oTna-
mental is required, and after the 800 Ores
den china there are tile boxes, porcelain
boxes, and still others made of limoges.
Then there are little bamboo stands,
something like a lady's work table, with
several compartments in which views of
scenery, statuery, cathedrals or castles
may be kept. Still another way to show
photographs is to spread them overs small
table two, three or four deep for general
inspection. This is an easy way to get at
them. To be sure they will become soiled
and dust worn, but that is the fate Of all
things material.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

WIDE AND VARIED EXPERIENCE OF
LADY ELY IN EUROPEAN LIFE.

The Photograph Album Retired How
Ants-Modern Italian women-Cut the
ChiIdren's Hair-Some Old Folks.
From Lady Ely's position she was thrown
into intimate relations with nearly every
one worth knowing in. eyery portion 0.
Europe as wei as her own country. Her
friendship with the late emperor Of the
French and the Empress Eagenis began
when, as the beautiful Nile de Montijo
Lady Ely acted es ctIsperon to the en-
press during the two on three seasons she
passed in London before the emperor saw
her and fell in love with her, and no one
knew more of the secrets of that wooing
than Lady Ely. With all the great events
Of the empress life Lady Ely was more or
less connected, When the prince imperial
was born Lady Ely was sent by the queen
to be with the empress, and she used often
laughiRgly TO assure people who asserted
their belief in the stery that he was a sup
posititious child that no one who had been
present could have any doubts on the sub
ject, and her description of the emperor's
JOY and delight when all was over was very
amusing.
When the queen and the prince consort
paid their state visit to Paris Lady Ely
was taken by the queen on account Of her
friendship with the empress. After the
downfall of the empire she was one of the
first to welcome the exiles at Chiselhurst,
and on the terrible morning when the
news of the death Of the prince imperial
was told to the stricken empress, Lady
Ely went to her at once to comfort anu
console her. She was essentially a woman
every one turned to in sorrow and joy, for
her sympathy is unfailing.
Perhaps the most interesting part of
Lady Ely's life was her friendship with
Count Cavour, who had the most enthusi-
astic admiration and attachment for her,
and who but for her ties at court would
certainly have ultimately made her his
wife. She was, however, unwilling then
to leave the queen, and his death, which
came quickly and suddenly, terminated
whatever hope there might have been of
her changing her mind.-London World.

How One Actress Lives in Summer.


at is the popular notion" said well
known actor, that theatrical people as d
rule have hard time TO make both ends
meet during the summer months This
supposition, however, it IS safe TO say, is
only true in part, for the spendthrift spirit
of earlier days, which has been the staple
Of many a pleasant recital, is no longer a
characteristic professional vice Those
who scatter their money to the winds, and
in consequence spend the heated term in
state of uncomfortable inpecuniosity, are
few and far between. Thsre are many of
the acting guild who have deft fingers and
apt minds for other departments Of life's
work, and when their season Is ended in
the labor of their choice they turn to those
other enplOyments, and find the rest Of
agreeable change as well as the profits Of
honest industry.
Gases in point are numerous. but I will
tell you of one which is typical. | am &C
quainted with q young actress who during
the stage vacation earns a snug income by
turning the bark of the birch tree TO dec
orative uses. Sac MAKES piC1ur from the
crude article by cutting outline figures of
men, women and children and the inferior
animals and pasti1g them on black card
board, afterward filing in the details with
white lead. The combination produces a
pleasing and striking silhouette effect. Diff
ferent hues of the bark are employed in i'm
parting contrasting colors 70 odd picturas
The bark can BE made to produce either
comicai or serious ELECTS according TO the
picture maker. Eyes, hair, buttons, etc,
are put IN with India INK. The actress |
refer to IS not only young but pretty. high
" educated and ageneral fsvOTite a. well
and her father is an active msmber Of the
journalistic fraternity. Perhaps / am in
discreet in thus giving her summer secret
away, so I VIII make some amends by with
holding her name" - Philadelphia IN

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.

The gigantic railroad combination that is
apparently about to be contaminated leads
a contemporary to the conclusion that tie
Canadian Pacific Railway is all that stands
between the people OF the United States and
a considerable increase in rates. 1t is in
timated that the San Francisco Chamber Of
Commerce committed an error in resolving
that the laws which prevent ships from
doing business between American ports
should deny to foreign railway the privi-
lege denied to for eign ships. Remedies
which throw American business into foreign
channels should be regarded with distrust.
Such is not the way to effect cure. A
Government that cannot handle domestic
questions without calling in the aid OF
foreign nations confesses its inefficiency. A
very poor way to keep American roads
from charging eXorbitant rates over their
routes is to procure transportation to be
done over foreign routes ana by foreign
comp anies. In the event of such CONSOLE
daton of railroad interests as has been fore
Swallowed, our Government will be called
upon to protect the people from eXtortion.
The cost of transportation can be ascer-
tanned with sufficient approach TO accuracy
to enable the Government to establish
maximum rates without danger of injustice
to the capital invested. The Interstate Com
merce Act demonstrates the ability Of the
Government to control the most powerful
corporations. The railroad combination
will possibly make tie subsection of cor
porations to the law the leading issue in
American politics.
