Feminine Originality.

The one great aim of the feminine
mind is to be original in style, in walk,
in accent and in dress, and let another
poach on the preserves that bear the
mental sign board mo trespassing," and
unkind feeling is certain to result. Origi-
nality, though, is but step removed
from a popularity which, while it at
tracts for the moment, leaves no impress
sion of beauty on the mind of the be-
holder. Such an individuality is better
eschewsd. and unless one knows that the
eccentric mannerism, the especial style of
dress, the perfume or the unusual walk
are pleasing and identifying it is better
60 remain commonplace forever; for,
after all, there is nothing better or moro
lasting than tho charms of a womanly
woman who has no desire to ps outre in
any particular.

What is Proper in Sealing Wax.

Sealing-wax has it's sentiment, and
that which was relegated to the past
some time back has again come up in this
more prosaic day. Different colors are
devoted to different occasions. 4 bride,
for instance, can purchase a pure
white wax, which emits the oGor of
orange flowers, while the sticks are decor
ated with tiay embossed sprays of ths
same blossom. A rich brown wax which
shows flecks of gold is most popular for
dinner invitations and like ceremoaious
occasions. The widow is only allowed to
use dead, lusterless black wax so long as
her letter-paper, is black-bordered. After
she RECEIVERS from that stage of her grief
the wax passes through all the stages of
green-gray, pinkgray, violet, and then
well, by that time she can use most any
color. Young girls are using delicate
bright colors OF perfumed wax, but the
only seal allowed them is their initials.

MADAME PREPARES TO LOOK FOR HER LOVER.

love! See him again! What an ideal In
the first place it is impossible"
Here Valentine smiled and continued
( to dream.
Impossible No. Nothing is impos-
sible. 1t would not be difficult to find

Madame rang with al her strength.
Rose appeared, lamp in hand, and the
first thing Valentine saw on the manteI
WAS a ticket for the "Glass Distaff "
"Ah, heavens! SO much the worse.
Rose, dress me! My n.auve gown, quick.
I'm going to the theater,"
A quarter of an hour later Madame de
ished, frightened, happy, trembling with
fear, troubled by her own perfumes, with
eyes half closed, saw again loving child
bestowing kisses in dingy little room.
They had found each other. He was
handsome she was young She had
written, " If you recognize my writing
one used to love"
If he recognized the writing He would
have known it from a thousand. He too,
remembers the little room on the first
floor of the inn, the room with faded
paper and red chairs. He knew that there
she would await him.
Nothing had changed in their nest of
love. Only the servant had grown very
old.
With what a good appetite--the appe-
tite of youth--they ate brown bread and
drank blue wine
"How lovely you are" he said. She
blushed ana smiled They began life
anew. They wished even to be poor, to
suffer as they had suffered.
Indeed, they played at poverty They
went to the little creamery. She dipped
her roll into the cup Of chocolate and he
ate nothing because of love and economy.
In the evening they visited the theatre.
Aurelian furiously applauded an imagin-
airy Valentine, while the real Valentine

They lived again. Never had they been

One evening when Valentine, dressed

Rose entered with letter from Aurelian.

form that it would be suited to our col.
umns.
Therefore I have translated one which
shows his second best convictions, con-
victions of hopelessness, cynicism, despair.
It's pretty story, and yet it made US
shiver a little as we read:
''DoN'T PLAY WITH CIHDERs' ~
By Catulle Mendes.
Must we say that Madame Valentine de
Ternouse has reached that certain age
when the first silver threads run through
black locks : Not at all She is at the
moment il life when woman is "still
young" Horrible moment But she is
pretty, although trifie stout. with her
seductive curves. If she has refused to
go to the first night of the "Glass Dis
taft" If with the end of the tongs she
traces figures in the ashes, it is not be-
cause she has grown bOpelessly old in SO
years. She feels tired and nervous, what
you will She had said to her husband.
You are unbearable.' She had dis
missed her maid and, determined to die
with ennui, she had fallen into a deep
shair with a little yawn- Nine o'clock
struck. Then it was quiet again except
for the monotone of the clock and for
Valentine, who dreamed, wrapped in a
Bilken dressing gown, through which
CLEANED here and there rosy whiteness.
Lifting her foot, she touched with the
tip OF her satin slipper the armor of coat
of mail Then she turned slowly in her
chair, with pretty sound of silk, and
yawning still, stretched out her arm,
white as her laces, until one could see the
plump nakedness of her shoulders. Then
leanining her head against the chair Val
sRtine dreamed again.
OF her husband? Sometimes, inclden-
tally. OF her lOverf She had none and
wished none. She was busy with the
past. There is nothing SO charming as
that which is no more Before she was

absurd farce! Oh, Valentine, nothing
begins again. For man, all of which
has happened is finished forever. We
have but one love and one spring, which
never return. And know that in seeking
to revive in US dead joys you have
only made us suffer now. We have
killed the past. 1t is that which is SC

pure and clear which claimed us, and the
past shone upon the present. At our

has come, and that one is you! Once

minded me that you had loved me, that I
had loved you, that I had felt the strength

forever the unspeakable joys of our youth?

Valentine dropped the letter; she was
quiet a long time rs though without
thoughts; only with the end of the tongs
she tormented on the hearth the dying
fire. Under an arch of cinders there was
a spark still burning. The cinder fell
and the spark disappeared.
"Ah, said she, ''he is right. In play
/ ng with the cinders we have smothered
the little fire that was left.''

Mrs. Langtry's home in Pont street,
London, is an extremely luxurious little
place, one striking feature in it being her
drawing room, which IS very ornate in
helitrope and green, and has a huge
couch occupying nearly the whole of one
side of the room, covered with superb
skins, and with wonderful srray-quite
an armory-of barbaric weapons on the
wall at the back.
