A few years ago Mrs. CORVALLIS
West and Mrs. Langtry were the rival
professional beauties of London So
ciety. Mrs. Corvallis West was an
Irish woman, whose sparkling wit

Mrs. Langtry. 1t was irresistible, and
not the swells alone, but scientists,
men of letters and theologians were
among her ardent admirers. At the
last drawing room the prettiest debut
ante was probably Miss CORVALLIS
West. Her gown was of white satin,
made in the empire style. There
were no flowers or feathers on 1.-THE
only trimming on the skirt was two
or three fluffy frills. The short
wasted bodice vas adorned by
a sash of diaphanous white stuff.
This severely simple gown was in
striking contrast to the other p%resenta-
ton gowns. They were nearly all
decorated with spring fowers-snow-
drops, lilies of the valley, apple bios
som, or white lilac-and had fantastic
bodices. Miss West carried q pretty
posy of white flowers, the loose chains
of which nearly touched the hem of
her skirt. All the new posies-there
were several-were finished off with
long loops and ends of ribbon and
trails of ferns or blossoms. A few
ladies had posies composed of foliage.
They were made of caladium leaves,
asparagus fern, and smilax.
When the Queen dimes at the Palace,
whether in public or private, the am
of every dish put on the table bears the
name of the cook who is responsible
for it. This sounds as if her Majesty
was afraid of being poisoned, but the
cause is not fear but usage. The usage
dates back to old times, and is of Ger
ma origin. 1t obtained quite a CEN
fury age at Hesse-C assel. and may
be in force there still. 1t was a daugh-
ter of George III. who was the first TO

now the summer place of the Empress
Frederick.
Pennsylvania Marriage Statistics.
Some rather interesting figures rela-
tive to marriage are contained in a re-
cent Pennsylvania report. In 1888, in
that State, 10 per cent. of all married
me welded women older than them
selves. Eighty per cent. married them
younger than themselves, and the re-
manning 2 per cent. took wives their
own ages. The average age of the
men was 81 years and the women 90
years. More men are married at %
and more women at 81. This seems
the favorite time.
A woma of so married a man of 81,
and a girl of 20 took an old man of IA.
The youngest couple who ventured
into matrimony was a boy of II and a
girl of 10. One man of 81 married a
girl of IL. His age was just three
times hers, and a man OF 48 took a girl
of IL. When the men are older the
differences in ages vary. but where
the women are older it rarely exceeds
five years. Two boys of 16 years were
married, and two graybeards of so
tried the same thing, probably not for
the first time. OF A, 726 woInen mar
ried, whose ages were given. 4,065. or
27.5 per cent. were less than 20 years
old.-Neeo Orleans Picdytsne.
