a WOMAN'S HATE.

81 hate you, hate you % the maiden said.
And her eyelids dropped and her face grew
red,
And she turned from her lover and hung
her head.
The flush crept up her rich brown hair,
And she plucked to pieces rosebud fair,
AS she stole glance at her lover there.
And he-these men are so full of guile
His eyes a-glistening with mirth the while,
Looked calmly on, with doubling smile.
81 hate you, hate you - she said again,
And she tapped her toe on the carpet, then,
AS if each tap were stab at men.
Her lip was a-quiver. her eyes in mist.
Her cheek and throat. as the sun gods
kissed,
Were bathed in the essence of amethyst.
And then her love, with a startled look
Grew serious, quite, and lis face fOrSOOk
The confident glow which it crStWhile took.

"And il it plea5eS you to have it so,

lie took one step, but sudden turned
Oh, much the sweetest is bliss unearned-
And looked in the tear-wet eyes that
yearned.
No word she spoke, but her arms entwined
Around his neck. Oh, a wOman's mind
Is a puzzle, to which no key You'll find.
Upon his shoulder she laid her head,
And he kissed her cheek, which was still
You know / hate you p was all she said.

Trimming the Memory.

Sidney Woollett, the New York elocu-
ZIONIST. says that the way memory can be
trained is by constant exercise. II know
thirteen of Shakspeare's plays and Jenny
sons Idyis' by heart, besides volume
OF miscellaneous poetry. My process was
simple. l went hard to work and learned
them by rote. Sometimes l would read ten
lines over carefully several times, and
then attempt to repeat them. If failed I
would keep at them till know the lines
perfectly; then l would try ten lines
more By memorizing ten lines at time
thoroughly 1 had little trouble to repeat
an entire poem Of 1000 lines or more. My
favorite way of memorlzing is while am
walking. Often l have walked fifteen or
twenty miles. repeating long poems like
Miles Standish,' Enoch Arden and
Elaine 1t somehow comes natural to
he to memorize while walking. 1 seem to
remember better what I have conned.
Shaispeares plays are difficult to memoir
ize because the author has so many strik-
ing lines and so many original characters.
Naturally it is more difficult to Fecite
dramas than poems. If I happen to make
the slightest mistake in reading my lines

Wallets for the Bachelors.

"Over in New York" said young Phila-
delphian yesterday, a bachelor can live
comfortably and not be considered on the
same plane as lone cat, for example
Richard Mansfield occupies a suite of
apartments at the Crosie, on Twenty-sixth
street near Fifth avenue. They consist of
q pailor two bed rooms and bath, fitted
UP elegantly, possessing the most perfect
sanitary arrangements. A elevator runs
all the year and corps of competent SER
wants attend to everything. He can have
his meals sent to him if he chooses, or he
can eat wherever he happens to be when
hungry. The apartments unfurnished
probably rent for 81 600 year.
In some apartment houses for bach.
elors one or two Wallets are stationed in
the building, and they attend to the young
mon as if they were private servants No
extra charge is made for any more than
for the gas. The tenant can be walked up,
have his bath placed in readiness, his
clothes laid out, his collar buttons and
studs placed in the shirt, get shaved, in
fact he made perfectly comfortable by the
valet; you may be sure this valet idea is a
very attractive one, and it pays, too

Divorce In Two Countries.

The people of England have often Won
dered if it is as easy to get divorce in
this country (America) as reported through
the news journals says NJ. L. Stannard Of
London. The subject had been made the
point of so many iests that 1 was induced
to doubt the accuracy of popular reports
until l looked upon the matter. It Is I'M
mistakably very easy to break asunder
the ties of matrimony in the United States.
In England q divorce is not procured so
easily. The laws on the subject are very
ancient and might be modified little, but
Is a whole they are much more preferable
from social and moral standpoint than
those in this country. Apeculiar feature OF
English divorce laws is that they are par
ticuarly hard on the male sex, don't
you know. The women have much the best
Of it. although they had nothing to do
with framing them and are in no way re-
sponsible for the injustice to be noted.
DeserSon is not sufficient case for grant
ing divorce. l had cause few years
ago where man was refused a divorce
although his wife had deserted him eight
years before through no fault of his. I
had another client, and a wealthy one,
who had been deserted on his wedding
day ten years before. The woman had
married him cat Of pique and then refused
TO live with him. Yet he couldn't get a
divorce.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

POINTS ON MEMS DRESS.
Something Abcu: the styles in Shirts
for Summer Wear.

Something Abcu. the Styles in Shirts
for Summer Wear.
It would seem that the shirt might
be made TO go ON and fit like a coat. In
deed, the experiment has been tried, and
successfully, as exempifisl in the Prince
Albert shirt that opens and buttons all
the way down the front and may be put on
after the Lair is dressed. This certainly is
the way a man should make his toilet:
His couture sh ould be arranged before his
dress linen is assumed. The shirt might
be made to button behind in the same
way, and there is no reason why the but
ton-holes should not be larger and horl-
zontal as in coat, larger pearl buttons
being sewed on In q way to facilitate the
buttOning.
The speculation that is now going on in
the realm Of shirtdom may tend to an ef-
fort towards the making OF this dressy
garment in a more cOngenial form. The
madras, cheviot. flannel, silk and wool,
and other fabrics, might be tried upon the
public in some new measure OF improved
construction. The puff shirt is decided
ly daring innovation, and there are other
deviations from the recognized styles that
have awakened the public pulse to the pos
sibilities OF any innvation that may be Of
fered.
AS for the flannel shirt and its much
mooted future this season, I do not bnsi-
tate to predict it's continued dominance
for out-of- town wear. The cheviOts and
kindred textures with their heavy starched
collars will be found very much warmer
when any exercise is INDUCED in, and the
soft, yielding collars OF the soft fabric
shirts will therefore give these goods the
popular call.
The colored shirt will not be worn in the
evening by men who own dress suits, and
those men who have been accustomed to
don the following day the white shirt
worn at the evening reception will not,
with stock Of colored shirts, do this !;
the result being that, in reality, while the
colored examples are extra bought, the
same number-or one each night OF the
white dress shirts-will be required by the
men who essay to keep within the bounds
OF fashions dictates.
I see new menace to the men OF shirt
dom in the knee underbreeches Of mascu-
Unity that have lately been introduced.
If men will take to these moderated pant
alettes and long stockings, why will they
not tangent off to hirt-waistS to button
to and hold them up? The only practic-
able way to make these latter, moreover,
would be in jacket fashion, and would
they not be well-ftting and comfortable
withal?-Clothier and Furnishar.

of her distinguished husband shall finally

Davis may have achieved before 1851 it was
his identification with. and his work for. the
Southern ConfederacY as its first and only
president that has made him historic figure
for all time All that work was done IN Rich
mond: his triumphs were enjoyed, bis defeats
deplored. his suiierings borne IN or near that
city, and it IS eminentlY in harmony with the
eternal fitness of things that in the capital Of
the Confederacy his remains should repose.
1t was but natural, of course. that his native
State should have coveted the honor; that
Mississippi should have. as Mrs. Davis ex-
pressed it, claimed preference because Mr..
Davis belonged to her BY right u the seventy
nine years residence within her borders"
and that Alabama should have pressed for
the distinction because within her borders
he had been elected President OF the Confede-
rate States; there he had been inaugurated;n

THE DAVIS MONUMENT.
The Southern Press Generally Approves the
Decision of Mrs. Davis.
nynchburg Yirginian.l

nynchburg Yirginian.l
As will be seen from her letter on the first
page. Mrs. Davis has decided in favor of Rich
mond as the proper place for the final sepul-
ture of her illustrious husbands remains. We
have felt from the first that this would be her
decision. Notwithstanding the influences that
were being brought to bear upon her in the
interest of other localities In reality the
claims of but one other State, Mississippi,
could be considered as in competition with
those of Virginia and the only considerations
that could have swayed her decision IN favor
of the former would have been State pride
and affection. When the question Of historic
fitness came TO be weighed. independently OF
local preferences, Richmond had no rival IN
the matter. And we infer from the reasons
set forth in her letter that Mrs Davis never
once hesitated III recognizing It's pre-emlnent
claims.
Now that tho Question is settled the people
Of the entire South will cheerfully acquiesce
in and endorse her decision as eminently right
and proper. and will gladly cooperate III the
effort to raise the necessary funds. by the
survivors Of the Lost Cause and by their sons
and daughters the work of rearing this monu-
ment. which more than any other will embody
and typify the loyal and affectondte devotion
of the whole Southern people 10 the memory
Of their great chieftan, should be held as a
sacred duty, and they should not rest until
the duty is discharged.
1t will be great day for Richmond when
the great work shall he finally turned over 10
her guardianship. No similar event in her
history will be comparable to it in import
ance, and the public pageant in which its
celebration will eliminate. in its magni6cence
and impressiveness, will recall that which
greeted the return of the remains Of the great
Napoleon from ST. Helena to Paris, or as he
himself expressed it TO the banks OF the
Seine among the people whom l loved SC
