Two modest little country women came
to New York this fall, says the New
York Times and registered at a certain
quiet hotel. Here they were joined lit
tie later by the husband of one of them,
and to him was brought the bill for their
week by themselves Really" he said,
after long-drawn whistle "either 1 have
been grossly deceived in the wife of my
bosom. or there has been some mistake
He handed them the bit of paper Two
blonde heads bent over it. Four startled
eyes read this entry; Drinks at the bar,
IS co." There had been a mistake.
When the school teachers were in
Media, Pa, last week, there was one
well dressed young man, known as the
Berry Wall of the town, who figured con-
spcuOusly among them, and before the
| week was over appeared TO be badly
smitten with the charms Of one of the
young teachers. On the last day of the
institute he paid attention but to this one
and at the hopin the evening would waltz
with no one else.
In the mail to-day the gay young Romeo
| received the following, written in lady's
| hand, and evidently from one of the
| teachers who noticed his condition.
"A cure for love; cheerfully offered for
| the benefit of Mr.. -- and other young
men similarly afflicted Take twelve
| ounces of dislike; one pound of resolution
| two grains of common sense; two ounces
! of experiences large sprig of time; three
| quarts of cooling water Of COnsidera ton
| let these simmer over the gentle fire of
! love; sweeten with the sugar of forgetful-
ness skim it with the spoon of melan-
choly; then put it in the bottom of your
heart, and cork it with the cork of clear
conscience; let it remain and you will be
restored to your sense again.
"These ingredients can be found at the
apothecary shop at the house of under
standing, next door to reason, on Pru-
dence street, in the village OF Content
ment; drink when the spell comes on and
you will find immediate relief"
The letter was signed From q Keen
Observer, - and had a postscript added:
"Return if the sender is known"
A story is going the rounds about a lit
tie woman who the other night was
seated at the theater in New York behind
| a gorgeously-dressed beauty whose bal
loon sleeves completely hid the stage
| from the victim in the rear. She sat first
on one foot and then on the other, but all
! in vain; not glimpse of the play could
she get After a whispered conversation
| with her husband came the tragedy
| Without a word of warning that wee bit
| of woman quietly rose, gently but firmly
laid her hands upon the winged shoulders
of her obtrusive neighbor, and pressed
! her green and violet ruf1es as far down
as they would go People who saw the
| operation gasped at the Transformation.
| The victim easily accepted the situation,
and remained in subiugation until the end
! of the play.
! A popular diner-out was asked what he
| considered to be the best number for a
! dinner party. His characteristic answer
! was Two; or, if not, four, three of
/ them being ladies'" He then conceded
that eight was the outside limit dinners
! should reach. II offered advantages all
around, socially and domestically speak
! ing. Socially, because the eight guests
| could be chosen to form a perfect octave
as regards knowledge of each other, re-
| ciproClty of tastes, personal regard and
the rest; domesticauy, because the house
/ hold staff would be equal to the demands
| made upon it, and no outside element need
be introduced to disturb the precision and
order of the whole.
Dinners of ten and twelve are within
the range of popularity also. Fourteen,
| sixteen and eighteen are considered use
| full dinner parties to give, but no one is
enthusiastic about them; they are. as it
| were, quid pro quo affairs-in other
| words, giYe-and take dinners Invitations
| received must meet with u CORRESPONDING
return, and this is the return--to be in
| cluded in a dinner party of from four to
sixteen guests; but the sparkle. the
charm, the brightness and elan, all be-
| long TO the dinner of eight and seldom go
beyond it.
1t behooves our wealthy girls, says the
! New York Times, to beware of the Young
doctors who are yearly turned loose in
large numbers to prey, as it will be seen,
! upon society.
one Of these recent graduates asked an
| old and prominent practitioner for advice
as 10 the best course to pursue to succeed
! IN his profession. The reply came
! quickly and dccisively: Connect YOUR
! self with some prominent church where
| you will mlugle in good society. Make
| Ihe acquaintance OF wealthy girls and
marry one of them, then the road is easy.
If, on the contrary, you mingle with a
poor class of persons, You may fall in love
with and marry poor girl Then you
have long struggle before you"
! Which sounds awfully Cold-blooded,
| though it may be sound sense.
A real bac6woods-womau, born and
| bred through long life in the Vermont
I hills, was lately transported by a relative
! TO the heart of Boston culture. She was
! taken TO lectures on every ism" and
'ology,' to talks on dress reform, and ex-
| hloltions OF model living. The effect of il
! all was to be seen in a soliloquy overheard
