Ouda, who Is nothing Il not audaeious,

sins of society: After all society does
but represent the temper Of the age in
which it exists, and the faults of the society
Of our time are the faults Of that time itself.
They are Its snobbishness, its greed,
its haste and slavish alteration of

nor the sOlidity, and which 1t Is content

WHISTLES, Dul lHGJ III iNOl AOfI1e.
Mrs. Alice Shaw. The beautiful young
widow, who has whislled her way through
Europe, IS at present in Calcutta. In recent
letters to New York, she intmates that the
unvarying prosperity which has attended
her fute-like warnings is converted into
something akin to disaster in India. The
native and English residents alike enjoy her
strange method OF music. but they are not
willing to pay for it. When Mrs. Shaw was
in London. by request of the Prince of
Wales. she whisled before the Shah of
Persia, promptly reducing that sovereign to
such a state OF infatuatiOn that be- it is
stated, at once offered the lovely widow an
epviable position as chief lady Of his seragliO.
Without losing her head over this cOmpli-
ment from royalty la belle 5 ffieuse replied
in her merry way that the matter could not
be done unless his Oriental Majesty would
consent TO legally become the stepfather of
her twins. This was contingency that the
Shah had not foreseen. He esteemed the
widow, but did tot wish to increase MS al
ready large household by "a Teady-made
family. so he returned alone to the East,
and the pretty, witty widow, instead of be-
coming power in Persia, remained in Lon
don, true to the twins, to whistlng, and to
the virtue of American character.
