VIOLA ROSFBORO.

ing dissatisfied with the life abandoned
it for literature. Her first work was for
The Graphic, and her articles were
marked by simplicity and grace. In the
centennial number of The Century ap-
peared a pathetic story, ga Jest of
Fate" which elected commentator
from such men as T. W. Higginson and
Brander Matthews.
Miss Roseboro is not dialectic writer,
but depicts scenes Of southern life with
great delicacy of touch and beautiful
simplicity. One of the best is 1.-THE
Last Marchbanks," which was also pub
lished in The Century. Miss Roseboro.
as can readily be seen from the accom-
panying cut, is very pretty woman.
Her eyes are dark gray, her eyebrows
almost meet, and she has veritable
Cupid's bow of mouth. Miss Roseboro
lives with Helen Ainsley Smith.
One Of the most beautiful southern
women who have made distinct and I'M
questioned success in New York jour
nalism is Miss Elizabeth Bisland, who
made the tour around the world in COM
petition.
Miss Bisland comes from an intellect
uaI New Orleans family. The family
met with reverses through the war, and
Miss Bisland went upon the staff of The
New Orleans Times-Democrat. Four
years ago she came to New York and
plunged into journalism. Miss Bisland
would not do night work, lived quietly
and waited for her hour, which came
when The Cosmopolitan Magazine sent
her abroad. She is a graceful and statu-
esque brunette, and is considered p re-
markably handsome woman. It d IN
derstood that she will pass much of her
time in London in the future. Her serv-
ices belong exclusively to The Cosmo-
politan. Her sister, Margaret Bisland,
is doing good work for The Illustrated
American. The Woman's club, of New
Orleans, was founded by Miss Bisland,
and has grown from modest beginning
to a powerful organization numbering
800 persons.
Emma Mofett Tying is a well known
contributor to Harper's Bazaar, Art

Mrs. Tying is the author of a romance of
Mexico of Maximilian's time, entitled

felicitous in her work upon art topics

She is the daintiest, most womanly

hair, pleasant, beaming eyes, and also
possessing that sweet southern accent Of
speech. She is very popular in the
Woman's Press club, and Will undoubt-

SIaYnnic Customs.
Alfred de Musset

1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve supper
tables, and for the young people, blind
fold or in the dark, to pick out each straw
therefrom. Should the straw be green the
lucky maiden expects to wear bridal
, wreath or the youth to lead blushing
bride to the altar during the approaching
year; but dried straw foretells to either
long waiting, possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts on the
"Christs eve" wine beer and water are
placed by girl between two candles on q
table. She then retires into corner or an
adjoining room to watch the result re-
flected in a mirror hung for this purpose.
If, as the clock strikes midnight, man
enters and drinks the wine, she is happy,
for her wooer will be rich. Should he
drink the beer she may be content, for the
wooer will be "well to do" If the water
be chosen her husband will be very poor
But if, as the clock strikes, no man comes
to her table, the anxious maiden shivcrs
with more than midnight terror, believing
that she is doomed to be early the bride of
Death.
Poland is peculiarly rich in these observ-
ances, spreading themselves throughout
the year, both sexes being equally super
stitious in this respect. On New Years
eve the young unmarried men place them
selves before fire and bending down look
beneath their legs. Should a woman APP
pear in the background it is the one they
will marry, but if they see shape as of
coffin it forebodes for them death during
the year close at hand.-Chambers' Jour

Intelligent Draft Horses.

The horses which draw the heavy ice
wagons seldom need the guiding rein to
show them where to CO. They soon learn
the route so well that the driver does not
touch the rein after once starting on hi.
daily journey. One of these teams was OBJ
served to show unusual intelligence the
other day. Their route had been changed
considerably that day, but when the driver
wanted the wagon to cross the street he
would give a sharp rattle of his ice tongs,
and the horses would cross as though they
were reading the order from a telegraph
instrument. A different sounding rattle
of the tongs sent them back to the side
they came from. When the driver wanted
the animals to turn a corner and branch
off on another part of the street he gave q
shrill whistle, and according to the man
ner in which the whistle sounded would
the animals turn from right TO left.-But-

WHY He Tore Up His Ticket.

The record for honesty in connection
with the Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany was broken in Decatur one morning
when a stranger hailing from Bloomington
stepped up to G. o. Judson, the station
agent, and paid his money for a ticket to
Clinton, Ills. a distance of twenty-five
miles, fare sixty-five cents. The stranger
at once tore up the ticket and showed the
worthless bits of pasteboard back into the
office. The only explanation the stranger
would give was:
Il am an honest man. Not long since
rode from Clinton to Decatur and did not
pay my fare. have taken this method of
seeing that the Illinois Central gets its
money, and that's why bought the ticket
and tore it up. l don't need it. 1 am go
ing another way. Good day."
Mr. Judson has been selling tickets for
twenty-seven years, but never before has
he struck man who had such a fine ap-
probation of what was honest and Just, es-
pecially in connection with one of the al
legged monopolies of the country.-Cor. St

MARY z. BRYAN.

Mrs. Mary E. Bryan has the distinction
of being the best paid woman editor In
New York, her salary being SIC, 600 year,
She is under contract to Mr.. George
Munro to give him two serials annually,
besides furnishing a short story to every
number of his Fashion Bazaar. In addition
she prepares short sketches and writes
all the answers to correspondents. She
is also most clever versifer, and can
dash off poems, rhymes and sldts at any
notice. Mrs. Bryan is chairman of lit
erature in Sorosis and vice president Of
the Woman's Press club.
She has cozy fat in Sixty-6rst street
distinguished for two things-the collec-
ton Of photographs of beautiful southern
women and her "rebel corner" In one
corner of her drawing room, on an easel,
stand pictures of Jefferson Davis, who
was as father to Mrs. Bryan, and Henry
Grady, who was one of her dearest
friends. These pictures are draped with
wreaths oflaurel and gray southern moss.
However, Mrs. Bryan's corner only SYM
bolizes loyalty to her dead friends, not
disloyalty to her country.
Mrs. Bryan did her first literary work
on small Louisiana paper during re-
construction times. She was next ed
itor-in-chief, fashion writer, foreign cor
respondent, poet and novelist for The
Sunny South. She kept two serials run
ming, and often while writing chapter,
for which the compositors were waiting,
was likely to be interrupted by de-
mand for an editorial on cotton" The
brave little woman pegged along for ten
years in this drudgery; then her reward
came in Munro's tempting offer.
In appearance Mrs. Bryan is small,
with eyes as black as sloes, which twin
kle with fun or grow moist with SYM
pathy, as the lady's mood may be. Her
hair is dark, and she possesses a fascinat-
ing smile and the soft, liquid accent of
the south. She is most amiable and
sympathetic, and many woman writer
thanks Mary Bryan for an extended
hand of aid and encouragement.
A few years ago series of sketches
appeared In The New York Star which
at once attracted attention by their pure
Saxon, their picturesque descriptions,
their delicious impudence and clever
audacity. l don't suppose there was
woman in town who was not delighted
with "Bab's Babblings," SO thoroughly
characteristic were they of woman's
tastes and inclinations. "Bab's" identi-

that the Sphinx of the New York press

Mrs Mallon was Baltimore girl, and
when very young contracted a most
romantic marriage with an Irish gentle
man. After his death she found it neces-
sary to set to work, and "took her pen
in hand" with what signal success we
all know. Men admire Bah awfully,
and women are devoted TO her. Bah
was a rebel, and do not believe she Is
yet reconstructed. She is fond of the
Confederate colors, but especially is she
devoted to red. Being born Of Quaker
parentage, she says that the yearning
for red is like the laundering for for
hidden fruit, and Bah, N scarlet bon

Bab's hair is blonde, OF that peculiar
shade you see upon children's heads. 1t

woman, though now and then you catch
a slight southern accent Bah is very

proud distinction of never having had
MS. rejected. Many bright articles
from her pen have appeared under the
nom de plumes of ''Little Miss Muffet"
and '.R. S. V. P" She thinks it great
mistake for writers to use an assumed
name. "If had only signed my name
to the reams and reams of stuff I have
written l should be quite famous" she
said not long since.
She is the youngest member of the
New York journalistic guild, being 81

educated in Louisville. Her first liter
airy work was done for Hearth and Home

from summer resorts to The Chicago
Tribune followed. Her first New York

which paper she was connected for five
years. She is now under contract to
Munsey's Weekly, and viii receive S, 900

Miss Sheridan is an orphan, but she is
by no means alone in the world, for she
has, l suppose, more friends than any
other newspaper woman in New York.
She Is very blonde, with an exquisite
complexion, great hazel eyes and a
shower of the most wonderful curls, vel

The pretty name Viola Roseboro is
often seen in The Century and other
magazines, and one thinks it should be-

Many people are asking, "Who is Viola
Roseboro?"
She is the daughter OF a Cumberland
Presbyterian minister, and was born in
Pulaski, Tenn. She is niece of Col A
S. Collier, a well known lawyer of Nash

of Tennessee. This ambitious young
