The Prevailing Style OF Hero.

L FROM Lie.
The popular hero now of fiction
and journalism is either 'specula-
tor" or Capitalist" or "the son of
Millionaire JONES'" more often the
last named. A decade or so ago it
was the broker who set the pace of
American life in novels and news
papers. 1t was Broker Jones who
made his pile by turn of the mar
ket, who endowed the free library in
his native village, who represented
American aristOcracy at Saratoga or
Long Branch, and who decided when
straw hats should be "callsd in" and
silk hats declared on. Now all is
changed. The broker, as an lntluen-
tial social figure, does not count, eX-
cept occasionally in the headlines of
what is now called "a middle-cl
paper" A swell who is not at least
q capitalist has no place whatever IN
novel which makes any social pre-
tensions whatever, though he may
creep into the social notes." of "Up
in Busy Harlem" But of all others
it Is the "son of Millionaire Jones"
who has the floor. He is luxurious
creature of idleness, and whims
which he can crafty. He would
never be suspected of doing any work,
and is even ashamed of being con-
sidered cspitalist-"my agent at
tends to all that, you know" The
Long Branch aud Saratoga where
Broker Jones made a mild splurge
on the fortune which his son is now
spending are to that youth the very
outer darkness of the social world.
1t is safe to predict that the next hero
to reign in American fiction will be
"the son of Millionaire Jones daugh-
ter, who married the Duke of Wes-
tingham.u

Marrying Cousins.
Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Somebody has written me letter
and asked me to say word about the
marrying of first cousins. L am as
unprepared with anything to say on
that subject as the dude was when
asked to say grace at the table. II
may be all right to marry your first
cousin, but 1 wouldn't do 1t if I were
you. Statistics go to show that there
is a risk, and would take no risks in
a world already so full of rickety
babies and consumptive, crippled and
imbecile progeny. You surely have
less right to run risk in breeding au
angel than a horseman takes in breed
ing a horse. If 1 do go into my kitch.
en- to make cake and snatch up my in
gredient hap-hazard, not quite certain
whether am using cord meal or -four,
sugar or salt, spice or pepper, I have
no right to put forth the result of the
risk 1 take in cake making and to sell
it over the counter as wholesome
Wand. 1t is time the world stopped
in its blind rush and debated some OF
these questions that go so far toward
the making of happy homes and
Christian destinies.

Changing Fashion of Beauty.

From the GaulOis.
France has o revolution every fif-
teen or twenty years, so the beauties
can be classed by regime. Each
group has it's distinguished type.
The First Empire beauty was devine-
| ly tall, and classic in her feature and
bearing, and wee bit sentimental.
| That of the restoration was less in
inches and greater in girth, though
slender OF waist. She was simply
aud unpretending withal the savoir
| vivre of education and nobility of
race. Eugene Louis has immortal
lied the beauty of the monarchy Of
July. She too was graceful and
elegant, but more modern. Who has
not read, In the annels of the Citizen
King, of the Ducheese de Dino, the
Marquise de Talleyrand Perigord,
one of the most famous of court beau
ties? Her rivals were the Princesse de
Liebea, the Princesse Bolgiojos, Ba-
matte and de Fitz.James, who used
to call herself Queen of England-a
harmless unsurpation-the Countess
es Leon and de la Redorte. There
still survives Liardieres, nee Munster
therefore Will Nuelpn OlOOu. NINE.
Liardieres has an admiring salon
still, her features are handsome and
her manners charming. The most
imposing beauty of Louis PhiIippe's
time was the Duchess d'Tstrie, who
always wore white satin, scarlet
ribbons in her raven hair, and q dia-
dem of splendid diomonds. The
Comtesse de Fitz.James had fair
tresses and Opulent shoulders. There
are other names of less prominent
-Marquises and Duchesses of beauty
and wit. OF the professional beauties
there was the Duchess d'Elchingen,
one of the most perfect models that
ever sat to painter or sculptor; Nine.

The Mistake OF u Lifetime.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
1t Is the mistake of a lifetime to
give a man any liberty which you
would not want known, and to ex-
pect him to keep the ma tier secret.
The exceptional man will sometimes
hide the indiscretion of a young girl
whom he believes spoke or acted
from Ignorance; but the average man
In the highest the same as in the
lowest walks of life, boasts of his
successes with foolish women, and
the rendezvous, the letter, the
embrace or the souvenir which she
has given him, thinking it will never
be known to others than themselves,
Is shortly the matter of gossip among
a dozen people.
Women hide their secret much
better than men do. They fear the
censure of the world too much to
share their errors or indiscretions
with condolences. But man are al
most invariably vain and proud of
their conquests, and relate their
achievements with the fair sex to one
or two admlring friends. They may
not use names, but let the incidents
once be told, it is an easy matter to
discover the persouages if one is at
all curious to do so.
The only way to keep man from be-
traying our indiscretions is not to
commit them" L once made these
remarks in the presence OF several
ladies, and one OF them replied THAT
she WAS Glad she had never been
acquainted with the class of men |
knew. At the same time that lady's
name had been used lightly in a club
room nota week previous, and her
indiscreet actions had been common.

Novelties in Jewelry.

From the Pail Mall Budget.
Among novel things in jewelry is a
ring composed of the mystic number
of seven fine gold wires, each in
crusted with small diamonds, rubies,
sapphires or emeralds. The wires are
twisted together in band. Another
bit of precious adOrnment is narrow
gold chain about three yards in
length, strung at intervals with
pearls. 1t is worn loosely about the
neck and caught up on one side of the
bodice, Gold chatelaines are almost
as common with Parisians as the sill
yer ones are with English women.
The newest French watches take
the form and colors of a flower. A
beautifully enameled pansy with dia-
mOnd edge has time.piece beneath
its petals. 1t is fastened with dla-
mond-headed pin on the left side of
the bodice. The newest brooches are
in the form of bows. They are in va
riOus sizes, and are made of enameled
gold or diamonds.
Two pretty little brooches for bon
net strings are tiny gold models of
the Queens pet dogs, Spot and Flo.
In sentimental iewelry the newest
brooch is bar of music. The notes
and rest.mark spell Dearest. Sport
ing jewelry is much worn.
The favorite designs are coaching
horn in gold, a diamond horseshoe
and nail, foX's head on a hunting
crop, and a diamond horse. For gem
tlemen the new scarf brooch is taking
the place of the Old scarf-pin. The
designs are generally of a sporting
character.
Brooches to wear with nautical COS
tunes take the form of an anchor,
flag, yacht or life buoy in diamonds or
enameled gold.

MAX O'RELL'S WIFE.
She is Even More Clever Than Is

She Is Even More Clever Than Is
her witty Husband.
Madam Blouet, who Is now in
America with her. famous husband,
MAX O'Rell," on his lecturing tour,
has had large share in his literary
successes, writes Frederick Dolman
in the November Ladies Home Jour-
nal. In all his work she feels as
keen an interest as does he, and the
first press notices of book are as
eagerly looked forward TO by her as
by the author himself. Madame
Blonet is in every respect the wife of
a literary man interested in his sue.
cess and eager that he should show
himself before the world at his best.
She Yields clever pen herself as her
story of an incident in the life of her
husband-in "The Strand Magazine
of last July-evidences
And yet. despite her keen interest
in her husbands work, Madam
Blouet's principal thoughts are in her
home, and for its hest interests. She
is in every respect, domestic. The
Regent Park home of the Blouets Is
of her making, and in it she shines as
"llC, bOobCSos VI hSA
husband she makes her home SC
bright that he is never absent from
1t but he is anxious to return to it.
She is an excellent cook herself, and
at times when servants have been
rebellious she has for days at time
prepared her own dinners, much to
the qualification of her husband
who rather regretted the advent OF a
new cook. AS mother, she is the
constant companion of her only child
q daughter of sixteen. Leonie Marie
is the counterpart of her mother in
many things, and seen together they
are more like sisters than mother and
daughter. Miss Blouet accompanies
her father and mother in America
upon their present visit.
In appearance, Madam Blouet has
all the charms of true woman which
bind friends to her with clasps Of
steel. She is a brunette, with dark
brown eyes which speak almost az
intelligently as her tongue. There il
about her q combination OF vivacity
and quiet retirement seldom found
and the one quality vies with the
other in cOnquests. In matters OF
dress, she is a thorough believer in
the simple. She prefers black, al.

yellow become her extremely we'll in
the evening dress. She Is extremely
fond of needlework, and often finds
recreation in drawing, although her
artistic afforts are seen only by hus.

is, in short, eminently fitted to be the
wife of gifted man. She can receive
and entertain his friends she is
well-read both in French and Eng
llsh literature; she possesses all the
instincts of motherhood, and, best
of all, provides for her famous hus

MANS CONQUEST.
BY ANNA SHIELDS.

Mr.. Edward Carpenter was de
scribec by the gossips Of Snow
vile as a "crusiy old bachelor, toe
hateful to live," havingrelused lor
some twenty-five or thirty year;
10 yield to the destinations OF maid
or widow. He lived in a large
old fashioned house, occupying
the lower floor only, and his do
nestle duties were performed by
Jonathan Slubbs, who WAS older
and crustier than his master, but
who cooked and cleaned 10 his
entire satisfaction.
Unprejudiced eyes would have
seen that Mr.. Carpenter was yet
on the bright side of fifty, that his
features were fine, his eyes large
and expressive, and the form that
he clothed in mean, shabby gar
ments was erect and vigorous.
That he was wealthy, all Snow.
Vile knew, as well as that there
was but a small part of his large
income spent upon his personal
wants.
But he was stern, harsh to the
boys, savage to in;ruders upon his
privacy, and had been heard to
say that she hated a widow or a
brat. 1t anything was more de-
teslable than a widow il was a
brat, and if anything could be
worse than a brat il was widow"
Therefore, May Carroll, being a
widow, though not yet twenty -four,
and mother of Nan, who was but
four, bestowed upon Mr.. Carpenter
her most scornful glances and
withering frowns.
Nan was tiny cTeatnre-blue-
eyed, fair-haired /; aud 10 see her
draw up her childish stature TO its
full height and flash contempt
from her baby face was really
something wonderful.
Who first called Mr.. Carpenter
"Old Snap. 'em up" from the short,
cross speech he bestowed upon
children, was never clearly proved.
But everybody IN Snowvllle knew
the name.
Still it was rather startling 10
the proprietor Of the title, when
sauntering through the woods just
at dusk one summer evening, 10
feel a wee cold hand slipped into
his own, and to hear pitiful voice
say:
"Please, Old Snap-'em-up. take
Nan home; Mans lost J"
He looked down. A baby face,
red with weeping, purple with
berry stains, but beautiful with its
large brown eyes and rosy lips,
looked up at him. No hat, and
the golden curls all tangled; one
shoe quite gone; an apron. berry.

THE LEVEL AND THE SQUIRE.
BY RoBr. MORRIS.

We meet upon the level and we part upol
the square,
| What words of precious meaning these
words Masonic are,
Come let us contemplate them, they are
worthy of thought
With the highest and tho lowest and tho
rarest they are fraught.
We meet upon the level tho from every
station como,
The rich man from his palace and the
poor man from his home,
For the one must leave his gilded state
outside the Mason's door,
While the other finds his true respect
upon the Checkered Floor.
We part upon the square for tho world
must have its dnes,
We mingle with its multitude, cold,
rnfriendly crew,
But the influence of our gatherings in
memory is green,
And we linger upon the level to renew
the happy scene.
There's world where all are equal, we
are hurrying towards 1t FAST
We shall meet upon the level there, when
the gates of death are past;
We shall stand before tho Orient, and orr
Master will be there
To try the blocks we offer by his own
Unerring Square.
We shall meet upon the level there. but
never thence depart,
There's a mansion, tits all ready for each
trusting. faithful heart,
There's u mansion and welcome and
multitude is there
Who have met upon the level and been
tried upon the square.
L ct us meet upon the level then while
laboiing patient here,
Let US meet and let us labor, tho the
labor be severe;
Already in the western sky the signs bid
us prepare
10 gather up our WotkioS tools anu part
upon the square.
Hands wound yc faithful Masons from the
bright fraternal chain
We part upon the square below to meet
iu heaven again.
Oh! what words OF precious meaning tie

We meet upon the level and we part upol
