Women, says the New York Sun, adopt
all sorts of devices for getting a good
look at Mrs. Cleveland. On fine days the
mistress of the white house generally
takes a ride in the family pheaton, &C
companied by her babies and the nurses.
Inthe afternoon between and 4 O'Clock if
the sul is shining, she goes out in the VIC
toria, accompanied either by her husband
or friend. Women, young and old, have
discovered this habit of Mrs. Cleveland,
and are beginning to lie in wait for her
10 catch her as she comes out on the front
portico to enter the carriage There is no
privacy for inmates of the white house,
and so when Mrs. Cleveland goes riding
she is obliged to walk through
the public vestibule and across
the public portico. A day or two
ago a bevy of school girls joined the wait
ing group on the portico, and when Mrs.
Cleveland came out she was obliged to
run the gauntlet. When she returned,
an hour or two later, funny thing hap
pened. A well-dressed, good-looking,
middle-aged woman, evidently stranger
in the city, was passing the street gate
when a carriage turned into the circular
drive of the white house grounds. The
auick-witted sightseer instantly surmised

and her babies. She saw a chance to
accomplish her long felt desire of getting
a good look at the Presidents wife, and
she did not miss it. The race was a long
one, and she knew she could not win it
unless something happened to detain Mrs
Cleveland after she arrived under the
porte cochere. Lifting her clothes in
both hands she started up
the circular pathway along the
by and the spectators at the door APP
plauded, and, perspiring and painting, she
reached the steps just in time, for Mrs.
Cleveland had stopped to give an order to
the cOachman, and the energetic lady was
enabled to plant herself where she could
stare the Presidents wife in the face for
at least ten seconds, and could also see
the babies as they were lifted from the
carriage by the nurses and carried into
the house.
As Mrs. Cleveland disappeared in the
vestibule gentleman standing by said,
admiringly, to the female Splinter. "Well,
you made it."
Yes she said, hopping her face,
folks from my part of the country gem

But she forgot to say what part of the
country she came from.
1t is a universal law of human develop
ment that the easier and healthier the
conditions of life the greater the increase
in personal strength, beauty and physi-
que. Within the last century these con
ditions have improved for both sexes but
proportionately more for women than for
men. Greater personal freedom, more
acknowledgement girlhood, better food and
cooking, greater attention to personal
hygiene, more air and exercise fall to the
lot of the modern woman than fell to the
lot of her grandmother.
Francis Cation finds, after considera-
BILE investigation, that the average of
female stature in the upper and middle
classes has risen nearly two inches in
fifty years. Nothing strikes a foreigner
more than the number of tall, finely de-
yeloped women to be seen in the London
parks during the season. The average is
from feet 8 inches to feet 10 inches
whereas fifty years ago woman of 5 feet
inches would have been considered tall
A friend of Mr.. Cations, a prominent
man in London society, tells him that
only twenty-five years ago his sister was
the tallest girl in her set and she is now
overtopped by nearly every one of her
younger acquaintanc
The French nature says the Phila-
delphIa Times, which apparently in many
cases is thoroughly superficial and keenly
anxious for new sensations, provided they
are unique and pleasurable as well, has
lately been more than satisfied by the
divorce dinner" species of entertain
ment that could not by any possibility
pass off with the slightest degree of sue
cess in any country other than France, or
in any company other than French one.
The invitations tell the party invited
that they are expected to dine with Nine
A, 3 or G in order to celebrate her happy
liberation from NJ. A, B or @, and some
times to offer congratulations on her APP
preaching marriage with NJ. ID. 1t ap-
pears that it is not good form for a
divorced man to give an affair of this sort
TO mixed company. He is privileged
only to invite his men friends, but the
women may re dice openly and freely and
their friends of both sexes are expected
TO be joyful with them.

these unique affairs has made it posi-
lively unsafe for a woman to introduce a
husband worth keeping to another
woman. Frequently an engagement pre-

that prompts and carries out such affairs

Is called a stranger, says writer in the
Baltimore Herald When this happens to
unmarried women they should stir the
tea briskly and then place the spoon in
the center of the cup, holding it quite still.
If the stranger, in its gyrations, is at

evening; should it, however, cling TO the
sides he will not come at all.
We may observe that it really depends
On the state of the atmosphere as to
whether the stalk goes to the middle or
not.
