Where Women Improve.

Nothing is more gratifying than the
progress women are making in extern
pore speaking. Even in Sorosis the
ladies five years ago could speak moth
ing like as we'll as they do now. Often
they use no notes whatever. The way
to learn extempore speaking is to be-
gin and preach your speech over in
your mind beforehand, thinking it out
carefully, but not writing a line of it OK
cept the headings. Then when you arise
to deliver it you will probably forget
two-thirds of it, but never mind. Keep
practicing, and you will gradually re-
member more and more of it. and new
thoughts will at length come to you
upon your feet. No matter if you dc
forget part. Even Wendell Phillips al
ways did that, but nobody knew it but
himself. New York Commercial Ad-

a Fad in Corscts That Costs Money.


A recent bride distanced all of her
contemporaries in the value of one item
of her trousseau, and it is said by her
friends that she thereby set a fashion
that must henceforth be followed by all
brides of any pretensions in the world of
society. While it Is, of course, the rule
for the expectant wife to have her bridal
corsets made far more deliberately and
extensively than has been her former
custom, often having them embroidered
most delicately, it is declared that this
instance is the first where gold was used
in the place of steel, both for the clasps,
the eyelets and the lacing tips.
The few intimate friends of the bride
who were permitted TO gaze upon the
mysterious portion of her outfit had
their attention called to this feature of
the beautiful corsets. and they say that
examination showed the metal portions
to be composed of gold as described.
One young woman had the temerity
to ask what the advantage of gold was,
and she was informed that it did not dis
color and was in every way preferable
TO steel. 1t was generally agreed that
the idea was an awfully clever one, but
at the same time it was regretted that
the world at large would not know
about the gold. No one dared to ask
how much the corsets cost. The price,
however, was 500 pair, and the bride
had three pairs, one in white, another Il
pale blue and the third in black. New

sex has never produced "a great COM

feeling. 1t is a pretty glimpse that we
have of Miss Temples childhood when
we hear of her living near Dover, where
the gallant i'll starred Twenty-fourth
regiment was quartered.
She loved the soldiers, and they, one
and all, loved her and treated her as
little daughter of the regiment. Her
very first composition was waltz for
the band to play, and as she taught it to
them herself we may be sure that full
justice was done to the young conductor
and her melody. 1t was great sorrow
to her that this idyllic episode was fol-
lowed by the grim realities of war, and
that the disastrous battlefield of Isandhl-
wanna, in Zululand, was the grave of
nearly all the brave Inen who used to sa-
lutte her so gayly when she went in and
out among them. She had little musical
education, and always hated the piano
