TITLED WOMEN IN TRADE.

Every day the number of English wo'
men of good position who go into trade
as a profession increases, and, parodoxi-
cal as it may seem, the blue-blooded
danes grow rich and are proud and
happy over their successes: Half of the
smart bonnet-shops of London are kept
by them, and they have now begun to
set up perfume and glove bazaars, sta
tionery stores, etc. 1t must not be sup
posed, however, that every decayed
gentlewoman Is fitted to find fortune
10 the till, simply because her name hap
pens to figure in the peerage. Certainly
position counts for a good deal; but
capital, shrewdness and energy are three
perouisites that stand first in the race, no
matter how exalted the title may be that
backs them. Whenever great lady de-
termines to adopt the yardstick and
scales, she first goes through coaching
process and learns from practical expert.

sons in bookkeeping, learns to watch the
market, is taught to gather wisdom from
her rivals, and most important of all,
studies to be patient and amiable, and

FASHION NOTES.

Pink is the shade for evening wear.

ion.
House gowns of henrietta, wooler
crepe or cashmere are made up with bro
cade.
For evening wear, skirts just clear the
floor, or have a slight demi-train at the
back.
The newest idea for arranging the
short plumes is to make a sort of fringe
OF them.
Large hats, although picturesque and
becoming to fresh, youthful faces. are
not as becoming when worn by those ap-
preaching middle age.
A black lace toilet, aud one Of white
lace, with a stylish made black silk
gown, will carry lady who "goes out
little during the season."
The engagement bangle, or bracelet, is
a pair Of bangles connected with an in
visible and secret spring, and studded
with balls of gold, set with jewels.
The most popular material for black
house dress is a silk and wool mohair,
which is called chrystallctte. These
goods are lustrous and serviceable, as
they do not gather dust like all-wool
goods. They drape we'll and are uni
versally becoming.
The neck of new evening gowns is
very modestly low, and is more often cut
round or square than pointed. Sleeves
of tulle gowns are worn pulled to the
wrists, and the gloves, have but one bat
ton. lie Henri Deux bodice, with puffs
on the hips and high frilIs on the shout

evening gloves, and they are worn smooth
on the arm barely reaching to the elbow.

DEVICES FOR PIONEERING NOSES.

Speaking of powder rags recalls the
devices of women for powdering their
noses. A woman hates a shiny nose,
and not every woman knows that the
hot water wash and cold rinse will cure
this affection. So it happens that many
women carry concealed somewhere about
them bit of chamois skin, triangle of
old stocking foot or a swans down puff.
II requires consummate art to hide this
in the handkerchief and gently powder
the offending feature while seated in al
opera box or ball room. Most any smart
woman can do this, however. The best
powder puff is of fur. 1t is bought
stuffed and with handle, but the owner
should rip it open and remove the filing
and handle. Then she can dip it in her
powder box, turn it wrong side out like
a glove and put it away in her card case
or purse for future use.-Neo Orleans

FASHION IN HAIR DRESSING.

The fashion in hair dressing has been
in a manner stationary for some long
time in Paris; but it is now gradually I'M

dress that was rough and curly all over
had become common, went to the other
extreme and made their heads as tidy.
looking as possible. There were rows of
curls arranged on the head, but all neatly
rolled in what is termed a sausage curl.
At first, the fringe was not an evidence
it was "smartn to have the hair brushed
back from the forehead, with only few
loose hairs in front. AS this did add t.
the beauty of every face the fringe soor
reappeared. This was worn very short
and tightly curled, coming down gener-
ally in a point in the middle of the fore
head aud only just in front, the hair at
the temples being quite plain. Now.
however, this tiny, mat-like affair is
growing, and though still confined to the
head it is being taken further back, where
it meets the Grecian knot. All the best
women now wear their hair a Ia Grecque,
and in nearly all cases the knot is curly
and fluffy. In the evening this is bound
round by ribbon velvet to match the
dress, or a fillet made of flowers, silver,
gold or diamonds. The jewelers. are now
turning out some very pretty designs in
these fillets-which are either single or
double-the cut silver being especially
pretty and unexpensive.-Ne~ Orleans

"Human Vanity to Human Misery"


Doctor Stelwag, the famous oculist,
while lecturing to his students at Vienna
recently told a pretty story of Dom
Pedro of Brazil. He said that he had
had many opportunities of conversing
with the ex.Emperor, man Of the
highest character and Of great culture,
whose heart and MUD were always
filed with plans for improving the con-
lition Of his people. 1t was one of his
iearest wishes TO have big hospital in
Rio, but he lacked the money where.

to give a good round sum to the hospital
could call himself count" "yiscount'
Or "baroD." The a'ent of nobility
was not hereditary, and if the children
wished to inherit the fathers title, they

New YORK, Dec. 22-The pugilists
Frank p. Slaviu and Charlie Mitchell
came from the steamer Britannia today.
Slavin said the object of his coming was
to fight.
Il am on a pleasure trip, " he contiu-
ued. II am the ferret Of er the rabbit,
and have come to his home to find him"
In answer to other queries he said:
My first purpose is to arrange a fight
with Sullivan. | put him first because
he is, IN my opinion, the best man on
this side. 1 will fight under any rules, in
any place, in any state where a guaran-
tee will be given that Mitchell will not
be molested. [ won't go south in danger
of arrest. That's my only objection to
New Orleans. l will fight for 5000 up
ward, before the clnb offering the largest
purse. If | can arrange a 90 with Sui
livan then | will fight anybody else who
thinks he Is a good one. III did not
think l could whip Sullivan [ would not
bother him.
Mitchell said: Il am not here to fight,
but will meet Corbett in a ten round glove
contest at any place in New York City
for a purse. | will do this Just to give
Jim a chance to exhibit some of those
newly developed powers OF his. Slavin
will meet him in a glove contest or with
knuckles to a finish, and. in case of our
failure to arrange with Sullivan, We would
like to hear from him.
