In his comfortable study the Rev. Paul
Clifford was writing his sermon.
The clock struck 0. and before the last
stroke died away a feeble knock sounded
at the outer door Of the house.
The clergyman opened the outside door,
and there fell across his feet figure that
aad evidently leaned against the panels
for support-a senseless female figure
pallid and rigid as corpse.
Lifting her very tenderly Paul Clifford
carried her to the slttlng-room and ploced
her upon the lounge, where he lous ened
the heavy cloak aud hS and chN'ed her

The door opened again, and Miss Ruth

Women Who Are Known.

1t would be interesting if one could know
exactly now ones favorite authors
look. When one meets for the first time
the writer of a pet volume the impulse is
often to say, "Why, l supposed you were
such a very different person." Mrs. Amelia
Z. Barr. who has found countless readers
for Jan yedder's Wife, and 1.-The
Bow of Orange Ribbon,' and
who has left her Highland eyre
for the pleasures of a New York winter,
makes you think of nothing so much as
clipper determination %personiied. There
is energy in her step. vigof in the clasp of
her hand, go-aheadativeness in the twinkle
of her eye, good-humored resolve in the
set of her mouth, and decision in her yery
bonnet bows. She's an optimist of ire
mendous steam power.
Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge would strike one
as quiet, cultivated, kindly, conservative,
She is of medium height, matronly figure
and face which you would pass without at
%tention, though if she chanced to be inter
ested in you or in the conversation Won
would find yourself presently getting a
pleasant impression Of fine grey eyes,
smooth brown hair and fresh healthy skin.
If some one asked you what she wore You
would say, Don't know; black very likely.'
Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, the widow Of the
martyred Gen. Custer. inspires people with
a desire to tell her things. Her face is SYM
pathetic and, sometimes to it's owners an
noyance. draws peoples secrets out Of
them. 1t has been q handsome face, but
anxiety and heartrending sorrow have
marked it, making it more expressive than
ever beauty could have done. She is tall
and slender; hair black, eyes brown-grey.
Mrs. Burton Harrison, of "%Angiomani-
acs' renown, is a blonde. She has n ma
ture and dignified beauty, set off by n
knowledge of dress and OF the world. and
by n peculiarly southern charm of speech
and motion. Long as she has been in New
York that Virginia accent is never aui.e
forgotten.
Mrs. Lyman Abbott, the wife Of the PIy-
mouth pastor. is a very slight, fraiI looking
little woman of medium height, very slender
and with a refined face. suggesting that she
has taken on herself many cares about
many things. Her eyes are blush gray and
she has plainly banded, fine hair.

II tell you a woman has q great advan-
tage,s said a man who lectures, because if
she is good looking and has good clothes
she does not need brains to succeed" Per-
haps, and yet; Mrs. Frank Leslie's lecture
tour was a financial failure, because,
though her wardrobe was gorgeous, with
real gems instead Of mock ones in it's en-
broideries, she had only a pretty little
d~rawingroom nothing to deliver. Mrs.
Jenness-M Miller succeeds because she is hand
some and her gowns are novel, in spite Of
the fact hat she is, when you have dis
counted a certain cleverness, at best but a
fiippant speaker. One example for and one
against the man.
Mrs. Henrietta Crane Russell is good to
look at but not to listen to. Mrs. Lille
Devereux Blake is interesting but not accu-
rate. The temperance women are often elo-
quent but oftener exaggerated and hyster-
ical. If you come down to bottom facts is
not the best woman speaker on the platform
Miss Kate Field? Her use of English is
worthy of study, and she treats her audience
with as exquisite a grace as il she were
