Opera Box women.

The whole horseshoe of boxes-two
tiers high-was filed with the flower of
New York swelldon. The young women
were one and all frail and fine, having
that delicate slenderness SO far removed
from thinness that is an eastern A1neri-
can woman's greatest beauty. Blends
were in the majority graceful, fragile,
exquisite creatures, cleaning with dia-
nonds and ethereal as spirits of the
moonlight, in pale tinted, feecy dresses.

but not one was scraggy. Almost ell
wore their hair high and bound around
in the style of the First Empire with a
band of ribbon or of gold, while on their
foreheads and sometimes over, their ears
lay little ruffied, careless curls like o
baby's. The men were not so good look
ing and were somewhat effaced by the
show of feminine beauty. Almost all
the younger ones were smooth faced and
wore inordinately high collars. These
young fellows are very prominent in the
gay circles of Gotham.
The showing of jewels every one be-
ing bedizened for the ball-was wonder
full. Mrs. Bradley Martin was covered
with diamonds. She is not pretty or
young woman, in fact is aorid and com
mon in her style, and SO did not set off her

It Stopped the Painting.


A story of ''fainting beauties" is told
in the memoirs of the Rev. Julian Young,
subchaplain of Hampton Court palace.
One very hot Sunday q young lady, not
resident of the palace, but living In
the vicinity, tainted in the chapel dur
ing the service. Sir Horace Seymour,
a widower, Waterloo hero, Of COM
manding presence and strikingly good
looks, raised the PROSTATE lady in his
arms, carried her to his apartments, de-
posted her on q sofa, left her to the
charge of his housekeeper and returned
to his seat. Strange to say, on tho fol-
lowing Sundays young lady, each
time different one, tainted; and on
each occasion the same gallant knight
performed the same kind Office for the
sufferer and then returned to his post.
On the last Of these three fainting
Sundays Lady Seymour, the aunt of Sir
Horace, said to the chaplain after sery-
ice: 81 say. Mr.. Young, this fashion of
fainting will degenerate into an cpl
demic if it is not put stop to. With
your permission, will affix before next
Sunday this notice in the cloister, at the
door of entrance: Whereas, a tendency
to faint is becoming prevalent infrm-
ity among young ladies frequenting this
chapel, notice is hereby given that, for
the future, ladies so affected will not be
carried out by Sir Horace Seymour, but
by Branscombe, the dustman.' This
warning produced the desired effect,
and the plague of fainting beauties was
Staid.

Lord Lorne and Some American Girls.
The following pleasant and unusual
experience happened to party of well
known American girls who were travel

Of course can be vouched for. The story
is told by one of the young ladies: son

there an adventure befell us of which l

train and were looking about for the
ways and means of reaching the castle
we were accosted by tall, fine looking,
middle aged man, who asked if we were
not from the 'other side of the water
We said yes and that we wanted to
get to the castle. He said that he was
going there and would be glad to show
Us the way and also to show us his old
family house, which was close by. We
got into a carriage, and our new friend
mounted the bog beside the driver and
on we went.
"We finally stopped before quaint
old house, with coats of arms carved in
stone, and he led us into the courtyard,
which was very quaint and old. He
said the place was called Argyle Lodge

Woman's Most Recent Profession.

A new profession is open to women,
one in which they are scarcely likely to
have any male competitors Moreover,
it is one which should be eminently
agreeable to the feminine mind. No
special qualifications are required be-
yond good looks and good taste. The
profession is that Of window gazing.
Already a number of ladies have become
window gazers as a matter of profit as
we'll as pleasure. The duties are light
and the pay is good. All that is required
is to stand in front of your patrons
street windows during the fashionable
hours of the afternoon, and, in sufi-
GENTLY enthusiastic terms draw the at
tention of your companion to the merits
of the latest sweet thing IN bonnets, or
that perfectly ideal theater cloak, for
the benefit of the genuine shoppers who
are passing. The professional window
gazers must go in couples in order to be
able to start conversation.-San Fran

What Some Men Spend on Amusement

What Some Men Spend on Amusement.
Probably few persons who sit around
a pool table witnessing clever game of
pool have any idea of the time and money
necessary to become crack player OF
either pool or billiards. New York
boasts many fine amateurs. The latter
are to be found everywhere for that
matter. have seen men hanging about
livery stable in country village in
their shirt sleeves who can hole all the
balls on an opening at pool, and can run
ffties and hundreds at French carrom.
The great body of pool and billiard
players are in it for the amusement and
exercise. They spend from an hour to
four hours daily walking around table
and punching the worries. Two hours a
day is thought necessary to keep up
practice. A dollar an hour is not an ex-
travagant estimate of the average ex-
pense in New York. The better the
player the more he plays, and $500
year in walking around a table isn't
much for that kind of man. Twenty to
forty years Of this, however, represents
in good hard cash considerably more
than that kind of man has on hand at
the end of his career.-New York Her.

To Prevent Calamittes by Firs,

The iirst thing which a civilized com.
msnity should require In the erection of
houses which are intended to be used for
hotels and theaters and halls Is that they
shall be practically fireproof. If people
are willing to take the risk" the public
should refuse to permit them to take it.
II proper and reasonable precautions for
safety increase the expense of building
rents may be increased, and the price Of
lodging. There need be no fear that q
hotel which is known to be practically
freproof will not be amply supported
because its rates are higher that those of
a death trap. Calamities like the burn
ing of the Hotel Royal have become SO
common that it is not without serious
apprehension that travellers now enter
their rooms in hotels. Phe coil Of rope
which is supposed to be designed to help
them in direful emergency merely re-
minds them of their peril and Of their
probable inability in q sudden alarm to
cope with it. -Harper's Weekly,

The Pearl Hunters. supsrstition.

The pearl hunters of Borneo and tho
adjacent islands have a peculiar super
stition. When they open shells i'll search
of pearls, they take every ninth find,
whether it be large or small, and put it
into a bottle which is kept corked with
a dead mans finger. The pearls in the
vial are known as "seed pearls" OF
breeding pearls" and the native Bor-
Moose firmly believes that they will re-
produce their kind. For every pearl
put into the vial two grains of rice are
thrown in for the pearls to "feed" upon.
Some whites in Borneo believe as
firmly in the superstition as the natives
do, and almost every hut along the coast
has its "dead finger" bottle with from
nine to fifty seed pearls and twice that
number of rice grains carefully and
evenly slowed away among them. Pro-
fessor Kimmerly says that nearly every
burial place along the coast has been
desecrated by "pearl breeders" in search
of corks for their bottles.-St. Louis Re-

Mrs. Sheldon's Curiosities.

Mrs. French Sheldon, the well known
African traveller, has received very
pressing invitation from Mrs. Potter
Palmer, lady manager Of the women's
department in the Chicago exhibition,
to exhibit her splendid collection Of AZ
rican curiosities at the coming exhibi-
ton. Mrs. Sheldon won the confidence
of the natives and especially of the
women in a way no man could ever hope
to do, and in this way she succeeded in
gaining information of much interest
and novelty and securing objects which
had never been seen out of Africa be-
fore. One woman followed her $50
miles up country before she could be in
duced to part with leather apron which
only married women wear, but which
they never sell or give to strangers, as
they have an idea that should they do
so, the person to whom it is given viii

The Married Bellies influence,

A woman who has great influence
over young men is the young married
woman who has been belle among
them and who still has them calling at
her home. She is the one who knows
what they really are, and if she is a good
woman she can do wonderful amount
of good to these young men who admire
her and prize her friendship, knowing
they cannot keep it unless worthy of it.
Her happiness and her husbands prove
the best Of object lessons. And what
sweet praise it is to her to hear that one
of these young men has remarked,
"Mrs. Youngwife is superb woman,
she keeps us straight and does us ever so
much good" 1t is the sweetest bit of
compliment a woman could desire; just
as it is the keenest anguish to know that
some one we love has done wrong for
our sake; or that we have led him to
wrongdoing. And from that. dear
women, let US all pray to be saved
