you may be very sure that you have an IN
cIvidual private kind Of stationery which
flashes welcome note 70 your correspond
ents the Instant the envelope is broken and
the familiar line Is seen.
lt Is quite fad with many New York
women. especially literary women or women
. who have entered some profession, TO choose
a personal motto and have It upon all per
sonal possessions Whenever possible. Among
I the pretty notices Is the following: Il love
all" 1t IS done in pretty characters Of a
quaint old English type, and needs to be
| closely studied in order TO be read. An
other motto which is owned by a WELL
known woman pSiuter vino is now exhibit
ing at the French Academy "AlI things
come" Of course the application is very
evident, when one considers the work which
il necessary 20 make a success OF any pro-
fession.
Another way Of doing these notices is to
! have them upon seal. The seal may be in
tbs form OF copper cent or it may look
like q nickel or any coin. One edge should
be slightly broken TO take away the com
| merclal look which an untouched silver
pisce has, and on the coin should be in
scribed q motto, OF ones own initials may
be put upon it Other favorite notices ara
II Can Forgive" Just Woman " BE
| Sure OF Welcoms," Patience, Daughter! ~
The charity ball, the New Years ball and
| the Pasriarchs ball have only intensified the
desire for having kind Of dance which
shall be the next thing to the true skirt
/ dance OF the stage. The skaters Is as good
| an example Of this as one could wish to see
and it is really funny to behold our society
danes and our leaders of fashion upon the
floor trying TO initiate Amelia Glover, Syl-
via Grey and Lettie LYnd.
| When the Prince of Wales was over here
in 1860, and when the grand ball was given
In his honor, the wags Of the day had good
| time drawing caricatures of well known
| society people who had not danced in a quar-
ter Of a century, and who began immedi-
ately TO take lessons in order to dance IN the
/ first quadrllle at the ball given to the prince
| Gov. Aorgan's wife had not tripped the
may in 80 long time that she had quite
forgotten her steps, but nothing daunted
she went to work with right good will and
| did pigeon wing IN most graceful style,
and so it Yves with Bancroft, the historian
and Col. Van Buren, and many others.
| Well history relates That the bal was
| funny-but passed of well.
Now IL is scarcely less funny to see the
old-time dancers tryiOx to get into the
skirt dances, and into the fancy fling Of our
| Warm-hearted dances of '92. These dances
are all taught TO the GLASS of young people
which are growing up to be the dancers of
next year and the next twenty years to
come, but tho old-time steppers are not i'll
them at all and it is really hard work for
| them to fall into line, but the genial Meal
lister has declared that the skirt dances in
their modified forms, such as the skaters
and the Low Swing" and the "Capor''
waltz are the proper dances of the season,
and so they are being learned at great
rate.
Many Of the dances have the genuine old
| time gracefulness The dancers take hold
of hands instead Of frantically olutching
| each other. And there is grace about the
| n twin md -,
is impossible when people are pressed close
together face to face without any freedom
of action at all. Harry lie Grand Cannon.
| the new would-be leader OF the Four Hun
dred, is particularly fond Of these graceful
dances. 1.-THE Grand Cannon as he is
| called, sought to embody them In the last
| cotllllon which he led, and he dressed him
| self in a more or less fancful rig OF High
land make, and with his chosen partner
| did the graceful in great shape. This special
| figure In the cotillion was an invention of
| Mr.. CannOn's, and was called the Reel o.
| Jullook." The announcement that Mr.. Can
non intended to lead the cotillion without a
| partner was met with such dismay that at
| the last moment he repented himself and
| took unto himself a fair one to assist him in
| leading the figures. As one Of the society
| wags humorously put it, il would have
created no less CONSERVATION among the
| fair ones If Mr.. Cannon had announced that
he was going to lead the cotillion without
| trousers.
In private letter which came over from
Mrs. Langtrv last week, the lovely Lily
expressed herself as perfectly delighted with
her Christmas gifts. They were exquisite in
| sentiment. and OF such great quantity that
they were far past counting. AS the Lily
| expresses it:
christmas presents just showered In
| upon me, and the fact that was ill from
| nervous prostratiOn seemed to make peoDle
think OF me who had never done 50 before
| Every one / had ever met and every one
| who had ever spoken to me and had the
slightest claim to acquaintance sent me
something to commemorate the day, and
| although / sorrow greatly at the thought of
my temporary poor health, and although it
is grief to me when l think that cannot
return to America this spring to see NV
many friends across the water, their absence
| Is made less hard to bear by the thought
that / am remembered by them, and that
they still keep Christmas for me in their
| hearts,"
Speaking Of actresses, do you know Jen-
ME O'Neil Potterl She is a monologuist
who has been over on the other side giving
| 5-mlnute dialogue talks and readings. She
| Is not at all like Marshall Wilder, vet her
| entertainment is a singular one In that she
does it all herself. She has, a supply of tai
ent and push and go, and she will be around
/ THO way DOlOAo 4OuS Win d lSW LuODOlOEu6,
| and II she does not surprise you with the
| way she creates scenes, carries them through
and finishes them without help of any one
| else, then am mistaken.
Marshall Wilder's sister now makes her
debut as a reader and reciter and story
teller in the very same fields which Marshall
is now following. She tells many of the
same good old favorites which Marshall
gets off, and she tells them with exactly her
| brothers facial expression. To make the
matter still moro remarkable Miss Wilder
is defermed precisely as Marshall is, and
the two If placed side by side will be found
to be Of the same hight, and to possess the
the same peculiaritie3. Marshall is not
really humpbacked, you know; he seems to
be telescoped, and SO it is with his sister.
She Is just as puny as he, and perhaps, since
she Is a woman and more OF an invalid
than her brother, she will meet with as
| great SUCCESS. CARRIE CARELESS.
