yard Kipling. One thing that makes them look
alike for second is that each man wears mus
tache and eyeglasses, and yet when you look
into the faces closely you discover how abso-
lutely dissimilar they are. Jeromes face is that
of man who is loveable, and who would be
loved by everybody around him. There is
keen sense of humor and bit of pathetic look
that reminds one, even when he is funniest,
how little pathos will creep in. He looks like
a man who would be delightful to live with, who
would have good and gentle thoughts of al! peo-
pie, and who would do his best wherever he
might be.
RUDYARD KIPLING'S FACE.
Now, Rudyard Kipling. There is an i'm
mense amount of originality in that face; it is
the face of man who at twenty-six is forty,
and yet it doesn't look as if he were mirroring
his own experiences, but those of other people.
It's face that could be hard, or could be very
attractive. It's face of cynical man, but
not cynic And cynical man is the one who
is sarcastic at the expense of the world, because
his dearest friend suffered. To my mind it is
face that suggests that the great knowledge of
woman that the man has has come to him through
his acquaintance with an older woman, and /
wonder if Mrs. Hauksbee had prototype in
well. 1t is complex face; you can keep on
looking at 1t, and you don't seem to solve the
riddle of it; but when you remember it is the
face of man who wrote "Danny Deever," you
feel like taking off your hat and bowing to it.
That's the way the pictures of three well-known
men affected me, and think you will agree
with me about them.

I looking of men, with small children as pawns
1t is the last fad in London, and the crush to
see the game was something marvellous. The
costumes were founded on dresses of the
Tudor period, were perfect in every detail,
while the red queen and king were absolutely
superb. The game was played by two expert
chess players, and long gold wands were used
to touch the pieces as cue for their moving.
This was done in the most stately way, pecu-
liar slow step being chosen and adhered to by
all. 1t is a novel idea, and whoever first gets 1t
up here will certainly make much money for
whatever charity it may be played for. The

Special Correspondence of SUNDAY HERALD.
NEW YORK, February 20.-We hear every
day of people who get black and blue in
their efforts to climb the social ladder. We
hear of people who are scornfully spoken
of as among the "social CLIMBERS and
every now and then somebody wonders if they
will reach the height to which they are climb
ing. They will if they have skins like hippo
potamuses and plenty of money; if they do
not mind being snubbed by woman, and then
approaching her the next day with smile, ex-
pectng another snub, willing to take it, and yet
to smile again the day after. They must also
learn that two kicks down the rounds of the
ladder which they wish to climb must only give
them impetus to fly up five more They must
be willing to spend money, and spend it in great
quantities, and they must run after lion, try
to capture him, and exhibit him in golden chains
in their drawing-rooms; but, above all, they
must feed their guests well, and that is where
the social climber too often makes mistake.
Mrs. Blueblood can afford to offer her guests
pale claret cup and waters, but Mrs Climber
cannot content hers with anything less than
fizz, teTrapin, and game. To make her people
satisfied with themselves she must give them
of the best in the land Her reward Well, it
is in the hereafter. When she gets where she
wants to go, when she has reached the height
of bliss she can snub women who are trying to
follow her example, and she can cut off her
visiting list all those who helped her in her early
struggles, but whom she counts as belonging to
the ineligibles nowadays. There are always a
few women who will not assist the climber, nc
matter how much money she may spend or how
entirely she may submit to being kicked meta
phorlcally, of course.
HOW WOMAN CUTS WOMAN.
One delightful woman here lVH control thu
people who visit at her house, and once, wheI
well-known climber went up to her and said
81 am going to do myself the pleasure of com
ing to your next Tuesday," she was looked a
through pair of lorgnettes by pair of pierre
ing gray eyes. and the answer came with beau
tiful clearness, 81 do not admit to my hous
people who are not on my visiting list"
Another woman, who thought that by gushing
and giving great deal of personal information
she could get to where she wished, grew yer
familiar with young married woman and SAT-
to her: ~ wonder that you use rouge; / didn'
know anybody but the demi-monde did that.

Mr.. Moser's First Painting in Water


There are two pictures in the second annual
exhibition of Mr.. Moser's work which are at
tracing especial attention. One is painting
by Mrs. President Harrison and the other is Mr..
Moser's first attempt to paint picture in water
color. While the first is remarkably skillful,
the other is the crudest of beginnings, we'll
student. The exhibition will continue till the
2Sth Mr.. Moser is in attendance to meet his
old friends and welcome the public who are
interested in watercolor. The exhibition is
held at Fischer art rooms, 500 Fifteenth street,
opposite the Treasury.

really makes you feel that she is the character
she represents, what woman is there to-day who
has such a strong individuality an individuality
indeed that extends over the world? People
who have never heard or never thought of the
Czarina of Russia read eagerly every word that
is written about Madame Sarah. People who
don't care about the topping of thrones or the
uprising of nations seek for the last new criti-
cism of play in which she has performed, of
the last book that she has approved, or the last
picture that has pleased her. 1t is the woman
who commands this, and this very fact ought to
bring her greater delight than if it were the
genius, for it proves that, different from all
other women, she yet has kingdom-that of
the world-and her subjects are all over it, No
woman has ever controlled the fashions as she
has, and that is saying more than much. She
has been written of by the greatest writers of
the day; she has been painted by the best
known artists, and though they come and go,
they are here to-day and there tomorrow, Mad
anne Bernbardt, like the sphinx is the same.
Except that she is better looking now than when
she first to us, there is but little change in
her, and the report of the fat, one is pleased to
chronicle, is simply filling up of the angles
that is most becoming.
WHEREIN LIES BERNHARDT's STRENGTH.
A man asked me if could understand her; he
might as well have asked me if l had secret of
that woman who looks out on the Egyptian
sands, who was old when Cleopatra was young,
and who has never opened her lips to disclose
that which she knows so we'll. There has never
been a woman like Madame Berndardt before.
She, like the orchid in its finest state of cultva
tion, is the product of the nineteenth century.
People talk about Rachael-of her wonderful
genius, of the tragedy that her life was; but it
can never be said of her as it is of Sarah, that
she is mistress of anything she wants to control.
| am firmly convinced that if tomorrow Sarah
concluded to go in for Grand Opera she would
rival Patti, and the whole world would be con-
Vinced that there had never been such voice.
Madame Sarah is a woman of successes and to
success every human being in this world must
bow down-that is, this sort of success, the
success of the intellect.
SOME THINGS THAT TIRE ONE.
It's the time of year when people don't feel
very well and complain of being tired; when

them way down, and you realize that she means
that one extreme or the other, as far as health
or happiness is concerned. But we all do get
tired.

REGENT coal mine accidents in the United States, caused by explosions of gas, have caused a general demand for more stringent laws for the protection of the miners. No doubt the local regu- lations at the several mines are strin- gent enough, but the miners lamp is always a source of danger that never can be entirely obviated. Fire damp turks always in every mine, unless a thorough scientific system of ventilation is kept up. We need scarcely say that the mines are few where such ventila- tion is established. Legislation cannot overcome the operation of natural forces, but it can compel the observance of pre- cautions. In this respect the substitu- tion of the electric light for the miners lamp seems to be the best and most ob- vious prevention of explosions.
