HOUSEHOLD.

Somewhat of divergence from the usual,
but not out of the realm of the home-maker,
are few words that can be said for the
noble workers in the order of Associated
charities in Fort Worth. Their presence is
already felt in the city, and the members
are recognized as women who do not shrink
from duty wherever it calls them. Al
though scarcely more than in its beginning,
there has been unearthed neglect and suffer-
ing that would furnish Dickens ample
material for novel. Not to praise these
workers, but to stimulate them, is the pur-
pose, and to put the willing-minded in
way to aid in the philanthropic work.
There Is scarcely any good woman who
does not at times wish she could do some
good work She is a busy housekeeper,
and it may be with small income, yet she
need not be deferred by these from small
beneyolences. The poor and the sick poor
are always with you. A bowl of cruel, car
ried by ones own hands to a poor, sick
mother whose little children cannot pre-
pare it, even if the material is at hand, is
not much, but it brings comfort While the
cooking stove is going it is little trouble or
expense to make a nutritious soup. Ends
Of steaks. bones of the roast or a shin bone
from the butchers will suffice for the good
work, and when taken to the sick poor is
such food as they cannot procure.
In every family there are worn cottons,
sheets, pillow-cases and underwear. These
need not be wasted. Sent in neat bundle
the Associated Charities viii find use for
them for the " sick poor,'' who lack these
articles. Again, the good woman who
wishes to do good will not put away half
worn, outgrown garments that it is not
economy to remodel, but will collect them
and give them to hupanity's agents or
bestow them herself. very little money
and very few minutes of actual time will
enable the worker sin His name" to confer
comfort, help and pleasure upon the needy.
And the work is rendered all the more easy
because of the capable auxiliary furnished
in the Associated Charities of Fort Worth.

SOCIAL STRINGS.

Among delightful memories those that
cluster around the leap year ball at the
Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday night
will be accorded first place When young
women decide to excel in a social way their
efforts are successful. The handsome
rooms, graced by the presence of some of
Fort Worth's prettiest girls, the inspiring
music and sly mischief that iurked in the
eyes OF the feminine beau, made combina-
ton not easily transferred to canvas and
becomes even more difficult in pen de-
scription. The girls enacted their part
manfully, and the boys found it a sheer i'm
possibility TO refrain from uttering speeches
that were not, on that evening. their cue.
Indeed the tact and cleverness Of the young
ladies in their new role was quite remarka-
BILE.
The programme comprised eighteen
dances. and TO each dance was given the
name of one Of the fair promoters of the
ball. The committees were evidently IA
miliar with their duties, and everything
moved on smoothly and happily The cos
tunes OF the ladies were elegant and chaste,
but the conventionality of dress in the fair
men does not awaken glowing enthusiasm
so necessary Tor proper description
Dancing began little before 10, and was
continued until nearly 2. At that hour. the
young Indies thought it was time forsthe
dear fellows to be at horne, lest their
mammas become unduly anxious.
The ladies present were Misses Dora
Rainey, Olive Darlington, Minnie Nash,
Fannie Field, Minnie Anderson, Maud Wat

COMMUNICATED.

The completed organization of the Texas
Worlds fair exhibit association is now
finely working mechanism. The meeting
of the directors, the national commissioners
and the woman's executive board at Waco
on January 20, 81 and % was a success in
every sense of the word. The social side
of the movement also is not ignored, and
Waco demonstrated the fact that hospi-
tally in its truest meaning is IN
derstood and pract1ced in this Geyser City
of the state. Mesdames George Clark,
president of the Waco board of lady mana
gers, Rotan, PARROT, Walker and Sanger,
as well as the entire board, exerted them
selves in every manner possible for the en-
tertainment of their guests during their
stay in the city. Afternoon and evening re-
ceptions and teas were interspersed with
graver discussions and deliberations in as
sembly. Fort Worth will have to look
to her laurels in the future as the grand
dispenser of hospitality in the state. In
each worker who was fortunate enough to
be at the Waco meeting new enthusiasm
was kindled and determination strength
ened to persevere in the good work-and
each felt broadening Of outlook from the
pleasant association. Texas will be present
at the Worlds fair in 1893 For this she is
now beginning to express her will in no
uncertain terms

Bernhardt's Coming Engagement.

The advent of the divine Sarah promises
to be the occasion of the most unusual
representation ever given in the city.
Every one has heard of Sarah Bernhardt,
especially if they read the papers. Proba-
bly, no artist living or dead, has furnished
so much material for the space writers of
the country, and for that reason alone
newspaper men should feel bound to give
Sarah her due. She is a genius-that is an
Uadisputed fact. cratic, self-willed, If you
will. Acting on the impulse of the mo-
ment, capricious as the winds, and change
able as an April sky, she still possesses that
marvellous power of fascinating and thrill
ing an audience that is given but to few,
and which makes its possessor so famous.
Nine. Bernhardt is one of the greatest
actresses that has ever walked the stage,
and to her good fortune it may be added
that she has taste for dress that is won
derful. She has set more fashions than any
woman living, and her costumes are copied
as. vigorously by the belle monde as the
seasons come round. The play selected is
one in which she has won fame and money
wherever and whenever she has presented
It. It was written especially for her by
the greatest of modern dramatic authors,
Victoria Sardou, and the character of ia
Tosca" fits her as well as one of her own
gowns. The critics of both Europe and
America unite in saying that it is the
strongest character this celebrated artistic
Has ever created. The date OF the per-
Romance and price of seats, ETC., will be
found in our advertising columns.

artistic triumph of her career. S'he has
sung, danced and kicked her way right into
the hearts of the people, and the business
so far this season has been greater than in
any previous year in the history Of the
himoal1 company. Corinne ALWAYS has
been able TO sing a topical song better than
any woman on the American stage, and in
Carmen Up TO Data" she introduces one
that never fails TO create a sensation. IN
New York the critics hailed her as the hope
OF American burlesque. Mrs. Kimball has
surrounded Corinne with a company OF
great strength, and one that is admirably
adapted to this styls OF work. The little
star herself looks a picture in the magnifi-
cent costumes originally designed by Felix
and Worth of Paris for the late Emma
ADbott's proposed spectacular production
of Bizet's charming opera. Bernard
Dyllyn, the noted baritone, is particularly
happylas the Toreador, and he sings the
music Of the role IN manner that leaves
nothing to be desired. Harry Lester has
never been funnier than he is in Don Cairo,
a smuggler Of the deepest Chicago river
dye Charles Pussy is quaint and comical
as Tenny. an assistant smuggler and
Charles F'ostelle does a neat bit of work
as Aiichaela. Pretty Maud Dixon is pleas
ing as Don Jose. The chorus is an excel
lent one, and the production is costumed
and staged in the most sumptuous manner,
the scenic investiture alone costing several
thousand dollars. 'Carman Up 10 Data
will be given with every attention to de-
tail, and in the same manner that il was
given when it scored its hit in the metrop-
oils.
The Times Democrat says: Corinne,
prima donna of opera bouffe and st ar of the
Kimball opera comique and buslesque COM
pany, was the attraction at the Grand opera
house last night. Carmen Up to Data
an opera burlesque, full of fun and frolic,
and especially arranged for this charming
little artistic, was produced TO a crowded
house, amid continued applause and with
admirable completeness. The excellence of
the company extended from the individual
merits of its members through the details
of costume, properties, scenery, music and
all the other accessories requisite to an in
telligent and effective dramatic and mU-
steal representation. The opera itself is
replete with pleasing and catchy music

Henry Bagge is a handsome and capable

Bagge whispered his love to MIR. Brown OF

in confidence, and Brown '.gave it away'i
to the dramatic papers, who published the
news. For this Julia Arthur threw Bagge
over, as she does not desire to appear as

There is q note of warning in the terrible
tragedy at Memphis, Miss Alice Mitchell
killing her former girl friend because of
alienation. It IS no uncommon thing, as
mothers and teachers will agree, for girls
at an age when their emotional nature is
awakening 70 form violent attachments for
each other and to carry their loves to the
verge Of passion. This girl was wrought
10 4 fury which is identical with that OF a
fitted lover, and took the same means to
satisfy jealousy amounting TO madness.
It should be the care of all guardians to
hold in check these ardent attachments, and
