A Models fortune.

In the winter of 1S7O-1S71 a great cos
tune festival was held in Munich.
Among the many beautiful women
present was Greek girl. dressed in
classic costume of extreme simplicity,
string of pearls about the neck.
A Boston artist, then a student of
the Royal art academy, who was pres
ent, was impressed with the classic
charm of this virgin beauty, made
sketches and notes, aud at once set to
work to paint the picture. but in vain;
the time had not come in which to real
ize the conception, and the canvas was
laid aside.
Two years ago, as the artist was re-
turning from summer trip in Europe,
he was introduced to a Hungarian noble
man, who had been appointed consul,
and with his family was sailing for New
York. When introduced to the consuPs
family, glance at the daughter, a beauti
full girl of sixteen, brought to mind the
Greek girl at the costume festival IN
Munich years ago; another look at the
mother, and indeed it was the same
woman. An intimate acquaintance
brought to light the fact that
the Hungarian, then a student at
the university at Munich, lost
his heart that memorable night
at the festival, and soon after
married the girl. A few months
after the arrival in New York the
daughter gave sittings to complete the
picture, "Leukopiss," which had been
inspired by the mother years, previous.
The artist was j. M. Stone, of this city,
and the picture was greatly admired at
the last Art club exhibition.

AFTER SNOW AND sHROUD.

What if we all lay dead below;
Lay as the grass lies, cold and dead
In Gods own holy shroud of snow,
With snow-white stones set foot and head,
With all earth dead and shrouded white
AS clouds that cross the moon at night?
What if that infidel some night
Could then rise up and see how dead,
How wholly dead and out of sight
All things with SHOWS sown foot and head
And lost winds wailing up and down
The emptied fields and emptied town?
1 think that grand old infidel
Would rub his hands with fiendish glee.
And say: Il knew it. l knew it we'll
knew that death was destiny;
I ate, drank, Knocked at God;
Then as the grass was, and the Sod"
All! me, the grasses and the sod
They are my preachers. Hear them preach
When they forget the shroud, and God
Lifts up these blades of grass to teach
The resurrection! VINO shall say
What infidel can speak as theyg

Special Letter to the Globe.
New YORK, Jan. 29.-Many persons
think that because most of the Redfern
sketches are reproductions of dresses
designed expressly for buds and society
bellies, the great English tailor works
entirely for their benefit, and that those
who have passed the dreaded Rubicon
of thirty years, or who are well on in
the forties, never receive the careful at
tention enjoyed by their younger sisters.
The two sketches we give to-day may
help to dispel this illusion, and show
that Redfern is just as adroit in draping
the handsome matured woman and &C
centuating her most pleasing charms,as
in gowning the slender, sylphlike girls
who one meets so often on Fifth avenue.

Little by little the house-furnishing

says the Philadelphia Upholsterer. The
time was when house furnishings began
with May l, but nearly all of this is now
changed. People who ten years ago re-
furnished their homes in May now pull
down and pack away everything desira-
BILE and liable to the depredatory moth,
and not until the fall do they attempt
redecorating. Still, we find that i'm

things for the spring trade. Here are
some of them:

should not thus adorn themselves.
There are reasons, not sentimental,
that should positively answer the ques-
ton. S hould women wear birds on
their hats?
First, the esthetic. Consider how
greatly the beauty and delight of nature
depends upon these living and moving
creatures. Think of the
Flowers unvisited, mornings unsung,
Sea ranges bare of the wings that o'erswung.
Conceive of the meadow without It's
bobolinks, the dawn without its robin
chorus, the twilight without the hymn
of the thrush Fancy the wood silent,
empty of bird life: the shrubbery de-
serted by yellow bird and song sparrow.
Picture the.desolation of glorious June
with no voice to express it, no bird to
set tito music.
Wearing the skins of bird and beast
is relic of barbarism, survival from
the times when our savage ancestors
were forced to use them for warmth and
decoration. The nearer to savagery
the people, the greater, believe, their
use of feathers and turs.
Ia Ethics of the Case.
There is moral side to the question.
How can thoughtful woman, feeling
some responsibility in the training of
shel children or some desire to leave the
world, if not better--which should be her
aim-2at least not worse for her living in
it-how can she reconcile her conscience
to the constant object lessons in cruelty
which the wearing of murdered birds
holds up before her children? How
dare she thus indorse and tacitly ap-
prove the cruelty and barbarity which
she cannot but know are an indispen-
slble part of this Infamous trade?
How do honest Christian mothers
and earnest Sunday school teachers
reconcile their countenance of this
cruel trade with the gentle teachings of
Jesus Christ, which they try to instil
into the growing, and, let me assure
them, reasoning minds under their
care?
They may, indeed, shut their eyes to
facts and harden their hearts against
arguments, but the child does not.
What his teacher is and what she does
has far greater weight with him than
what she says.

If you happen to be the chum of a

| tunity to visit her bOudOir. At the first
| glance you will conclude that you are in
a temple, and so you area temple ded-
icated to the worship of the beautiful.
Although when the night time comes
she has plenty of light to see just how

| gloom pervades that apartment that
suggests not religious darkness, but
darkness that has the tendency to IN
crease the violence of your temper and
the versatility of your language.
The room that has come the nearest
to the swell girls idea of what her tenn
pie should be has dull purpliSh-loOk-
ing carpet on the coucheS, low stools
and cushions galore all about the room.
The cushions are heavily embroidered
in gold with most mystic looking figures
that may be construed into either Egyp
tian, Hebrew or Chaldaic; but, anyhow,
you are not supposed to know what they
are. The curtains are curious black
ones. embroidered in gold, allowed to

The mirror is framed in silver, and
under it are tiny hanging lamps that
look exactly like the Ikons that the de-
vout Russian puts under the picture of
saints. All the toilette paraphernalia is
spread out, and just in front is low
stool, upholstered in black and gold,
upon which the fair mistress may sit
while her assistant at mysterious rites
brushes her hair. Belshazzar-like there
is handwriting on the wall; only in this
instance the notices are those OF en-
couragement, the one just over the

attractive, her faults, her virtues, her

A woman of means will send lace

says the Philadelphia UpholSterer
This is the way it is done there: The
washers of nice lace form a class of
labor quite by themselves, and few peo-
pie have an idea of the amount of labor
involved in the cleansing operation,
and of the skill and knowledge required.
The labor, of course, comes in chiefly
in driving, for the washing is but sim
pie thing in comparison. A table is
cushioned and covered closely with
spotless cloth, and on this the lace is
stretched with an intricate care that is
amazing. Through every mesh a pin
is placed to hold it in place, and the
whole pattern is thus pricked out until
every leaf and Sprig is firmly fastened,
SO that it cannot shrivel or contract, a
whole day being sometimes used in
preparing single yard of the lace so
| that when dry it is lifted all soft and
