guests were present. The bali was
opened by General Washington.
One of the honored guests, an old man
of SO, thus charmingly describes the wit of
a brilliant girl: II was particu-
larly amused with the lively sallles of q
Miss ---- asking her if the roaring
of the British ion in his late speech did
not interrupt the spirit of the dance?
Not at all, said she, sit rather enlivens;
for have heard that such animals always
increase their howlings when most fright
ened. And do you not think, added
she, you, who should know more than
young girls, that he has real cause for APP
prehension from the large ornaments and
honorable purposes of the Spaniards?'
- so, said 1, you suppose that the
King of Spain acts in politics as the
ladies do in affairs of love-smile in
man face, while they are spreading out
the net which is to entangle him for Iife?'
AT what season, replied the fair,
with a glance of ineffable archness, do
men lose the power of paying such COM
pliments?'
g I do not know that have ever been
more pleased on any OCCASION con-
tinued the old gentlemen. sThere could
not have been less than sixty ladies

were freely exchanged between herself
and the American pioneers. 1t was an
other proof that the spirit Of great move
ments ego in the air.
Soon after this an international society
for women was established, with It's
headquarters in Geneva, and with Nine.
Goegg as its president, and LIE journal deS
Danes opened its columns to fearless con-
tributionS from the members throughout
Europe.
In 1857 from Geneva the platform of
another great movement was broadened
and strengthened to extend around the
world: this movement was the incorpor-
alton of the International Peace league.
In 1858 a conference of the league was
held in Berne, and to this conference
went Nine. Goegg, presenting herself In
the name of humanity and womanhood
with plea for the admission of women to
the league. 1t was entirely a new idea to
these men, but Nine. Goegg so clearly
demonstrated the wisdom and advantages
of the step that her petition was granted,
and she herself was elected the first repre-
sentative of her sex in this great interna-
tional body.
Nine. Goegg recognized in this MEM
bership new RESPONSIBILITIES, and she
took them up and pursued her work as
ably as she had carried forward her
first undertaking. The organ through
which her voice and power Fave been
heard and felt all over the continent IS
that pithy sheet Les Eats UHisd' Err ope.
OF this journal she has had complete edl-
torial control for quarter at a century.

The victress of all these struggles is the
sweetest and most unassuming of women,
quite like our Mrs. Lucy Stone, again,
with the same sunshiny smile, the same
low, vibrant, sympathetic voice. and the
same strong cordial grasp OF the small
hands. Her dress is refined in the ex-
treme-usually rich golden browns or
black, with bit OF fine old lace. on her
head and at her throat. Her house is
furnished in soft autumn reds and
browns and dark woods, its walls hung
thick with rare engravings and dainty
little miniatures, and wherever there is
space for them there are poisoning
plants. MARTHA TRACY OWLER.

THE sPUNKY BELLIES OF 1873.
The Pennsylvania Journal, in its issue
of July 16, 1777, contained this item:

Amelia county, in Virginia, considering
the situation of their country in par
ticular, and that of the United States in

APPLE-cooKERY.

The Fruit We Have Always With Us
inexpensive, Everyday Dainties.
A wise old Englishman once said to
some of his countrymen: "Had you but
given to the improvement of your apples
a tenth part of the pains it cost you to
naturalize those four species of grapes,
how much more substantial glory you
would have Won"
So we might say if American house
keepers had given half the attention to
the apples that they have bestowed upon
oranges, lemons and bananas, how much
our country might have gained in health.
Because the apple is so abundant in our
land it is within reach of the humblest
family, and it may appear in SO many
varieties that none need ever tire
of it. True, there is large
percentage of water revealed in a
chemical analysis of the apple,
but it also has a larger per cent.
there are other doubles distilled essences
OF the sunlight and glorious air in which
the fruit has hung for months, combined
with some of the force giving elements of
mother earth drawn up. by the roots OF
the sturdy tree; these have their chemical
names, but we will not recount them
here. And as for water-is it not by far
the larger part of our bodies? We refuse
TO recognize the fact and persist in over
loading them with foods too solid until
we groan with rheumatism, or some vital
organ rebels.
May not the apple be as beneficial as
the much lauded grape cure?
Someone has observed that apple
lovers are usually people with healthy
hvers and therefore very amicable people
An old proverb says: cit viii begga1
a doctor to live where orchards thrive -
No other fruit is so deserving of the
cooks good opinion, in that it is to be
had at all seasons. From the early sum
mer sweetings, around to the hardy russell
in the late spring and summer there is al.
ways some variety in prime condition

herself with canned and dried apples
For these uses choose apples that are solic

took and in the first flush of her youth
and beauty, the duchess spent every mo-
ment of her spare time in trying to prac
tically alleviate some of the misery which
she saw around her; and it was after she
joined rescue society in Pimlico that
she became aware what a terrible
part the love OF strong drink
played in the lives of many poverty
stricken and hard working women. As
an energetic member of the Ladies' AS
ISOLATION for the Care of Friendless Girls.
She tried to persuade those young people
with whom she came in contact to take
the pledge, and in order that there might
be no sham in what she did, herself be-
came total abstainer. This was twelve
years ago, and since then, by public
speaking whenever she had the chance,
such as at church congresses, or at meet
ings where women S welfare was in ques-
ton, she has necessarily labored to pro
mote the cause of temperance. Two years
ago the duchess started the Happy Home
Thank Offering Band, whose aim is ex-
planned by it's name. The society has
gone on increasing, and its members
form a true link between the contented
mothers of families and those with whom
lie has not dealt SO gently. When not
busy in London, the duchess spends most
of her spare time at Wobourne Abbey,
the Duke of Bedford's beautiful country
seat, and even when there she always
makes it practice to have parties of
children down to spend a happy day or
week as the case may be.

Red Coats, supposing an army OF Blue
Coats to be advancing, fed precipitately
frightened away by two brave Ameri-
can girls.
There was also courageous Mary
Gibbes, a girl only 13. who In 1779, in
the midst of flying shot and shell, as the
American and British We're fighting for
the possession of st. Johns island,
thirty miles from Charleston, fed
along through the woods at
midnight where cannon balls
crashed and shot fell like rain around her,
back to the deserted home to rescue the
baby boy left behind in their hurried
flight; clasping the Infant to her beating
heart she retraced her way through that
same dreadful forest, where the iron rain
OF bullets still cut the midnight air, and
brought the child in safety to her agon-
lied parents. That little boy saved by
his heroic girl cousin became afterward
General Fenwick, distinguished in the
war of 1872.
Another young woman in New Jersey,
in 1777, passing a deserted house, beheld
within a drunken Hessian soldier who
had struggled from his company. There
being no men within call, she returned
home, dressed herself in mans apparel,
