Bnt with the good judg-

for Governor. But with the good judg-
ment and discretion, which, nothwlth-
standing the popular theory to the con-
trary, ali women do do not lack, she de-.
clined to be a candidate, as she deemed
such action inadvisable, considering the
condition OF the party.
1t is quite the proper caper for the
famous beauties 10 be distinguished oy
the constant wearing of o certain color.
In pursuance of this fancy the beautiful
MarchiOness OF Anglesey, the etnereai
"Undine" who created such sensation
at her her first appearance In Paris, IN
4 dress OF white tulle trimmed with
water lilies and with her mass OF golden
hair shrouding her shoulders like a
mantle, appears always in white. Tue
walls OF her boudOir are hung with
pure white damask, the chairs and
touches are also Of white, and huge
palms I'm snowy urns cast their graceful
shadows over what might otherwise be
8 monotory OF Whiteness. A unique en-
tertainment was given recently oy this
modern Undiue, who, before the Brit
ism cOrOnet rested on her brow, was
known as the beautiful Minnie King.
The hour was midnight, the place an
Island in one Of the lakes on the Bots de
Boulogne. Venetian lamps decorated
the boats that glided between illumi-
mated trees, and in tent OF pure white
satin, hung with rose garlands, the
guests were received by their hostess
dressed in q cloud-like robe OF fine white
lace over pale blue transparent tissue
shimmering like sea water.
The maids Of honor in ATTENDANCE up
on Queen Victoria receive an annual a.
lowance Of 50, 500, but it is claimed that
nearly the entire amount is spent In
dressmakers' bills, for the plainness OF
attire favored by the Queen herself
does not extend 10 these ladies in walt
ing, about whose frills and furbelows
her Majesty is exceedingly fastidious,
and il is one Of the unwritten, but man
datOry, regulations of the court that the
same dress shall not appear more than
twice in the royal presence. When one
remembers that the attendance is almost
daily required, the expenses OF this
much coveted service can be imagined.
The restraint Of court life Is severe,
but the duties OF maid OF honor are
not ardUous, for the present Queen Is
far less exacting and fractions mistress
than was Queen Charlotte, under whose
discipline the talented Fanny Burney
suffered so greatly as finally TO break
down in health.
June is famous In the annals OF
Dunmore, an English town, as the day
on which a fitch Of bacon is awarded
annually by a jury OF spinsters or bach
e!ors TO any married couple that can
prove that they have been married a
year and day, or longer, without a
quarrel Of any kind. This year there
were five sets of claimants for the prize,
I one OF whom whom had been married
I long enough to have golden wedding,
| for in the old days il was d rare occur
renee for any couple to claim reward
from the severe jury, the oath requir-
/ ING not only that they had had no quar-
rels, but also that they had never re-
/ GREETED their marriage, and If open to
engagement would make the same
again. The customis one OF such great
antiquity that its date is lost in obscur-
ity.
! Salamanca has not been unmindful Of
( the interests of women, for many years
| ago an early Queen conferred upon the
damsels OF soma OF its principal families
the right TO enoble with themselves
whomever they might marry. The
university, too, Used to endow deserving
maidens with wedding portions, and
there were women of powerful intellect
who rose TO the rank of its professors.
One of these, Beatriz Galindo, became
governesS TO Isabella, the patron OF CO.
/ lumbus. Women'S names figure, too,
in the lists of holders Of scholarships in
the old College of San Salvador, from
which It would appear that Spanish
senoritas are not perpetually draped in
coquettish mantillaS and dancing TO
caStanetS.
