1t was young lady who said these

cloth with blue fronts, opening over a
long waistcoat with pleated skirt, which
is of fawn. An embroidered null

and ends of ''faded purple" velvet
ribbon, and the purple goods have
green bows. The challies in cotton

brown and snuff brown cashmere. The
skirt opens in front over the the bro

The waist and sleeyes are OF the bro

a puff drapery, each side edged with
narrow gathered rufiies There are
three ruifles around the bottom. one
extending up the front to the waist on
each side. This makes very dressy

Strong Women.

There are records OF strong women,
although they arecomparatively rare,
In the time of Louis XIV there was an
actress engaged at the Theatre Fran
Gals, Mile. Gauthier, who could break
a coin between the fingers ofone hand,
and roll silver plate into the form OF
a cup OF conical shape, No one could
bear the pressure of her hand, and
only Maurice de SAKE, one of the
strongest men ofhis time, was able to
open her closed hand,
I'm the same century there lived in
England woman, Miss Bette Thomp-
son, who could break chains with her
hand. Miss kerra, n young mulatto
woman who appeared in most of the
capitals OF Europe, was we believe the
first to perform the feat, while hang
ing with the bend of her knees in
trapeze, holding man at his belt with
her teeth and turning him rapidly
round with her hands. The same trick
was performed more recently, among
Others. by Miss Leona Dare and Miss
Carrie Wilton
