Like Many Another, Stanley j. Weyman
Preferred Literature to the Law.
Though he has had a growing literary
reputation in England for 10 years or more,
Stanley j. Weyman remained comparative
~ unknown in America until the publica-
ton here of his masterpiece, "a Gentleman
of France" His 1.-THE House of the Wolf"
1.-THE New Rector and 1.-THE Story of Mr..
Francis Cludde" attained a considerable
circulation among English novel readers
and received much c"ommendation from the
critics, but their success was not great
enough to tempt American publishers to
venture on republishing them. 1.-THE New
Rector" is the only one that deals with
modern times. It is a Trollopean story of
more than ordinary interest, but is handi-
capped by not being in a fashionable liter
airy vein.
Mr.. Weyman is a bachelor and lives at
the little town of Ludlow, in Shropshire,
where he was born in 1855. His sympathies
are not confined to books, and he retains suf-
ficient of the spirit of the country squire to
ride to hounds and indulge in several other
Enthusiastically English branches of sport.
He is especially fond of boating and spent
last summer on the Thames in ahouseboat.
He has travelled a little in Spain and south
ern France, is quite familiar with the west
ern Mediterranean and has made a winter
trip to Egypt.
He does not look much like an athlete.

boom in college athletics, for he was a con-

LOVE AND DIPLOMACY.
The French ambassador at Washington to
Marry an American Girl.

The French ambassador at Washington to
Marry an American Girl.
The marriage of NJ. Jules Patenotre,
French ambassador to the United States,
and Miss Eleanor Louise Elverson, daugh-
ter Of James Elverson, the Philadelphia
publisher, which is to take place soon, gains
interest from the fact that it is the first
wedding of an ambassador to occur in this
country, though two of the foreign minis
tiers, Romero of Mexico and Mendonca of
Brazil, have American wives. Cardinal
Gibbons is to perform the ceremony, and it
has been announced that none but members
of the two families will be present.
NJ. Patenotre came to this country in De.
cember, 1891, as the successor of Minister
Roustan. He was promoted to the rank OF
ambassador in April last, when the dignity
OF u minister to France was similarly
raised. His bride will enter the highest
official circles in Washington under the
most suspicious circumstances, the embas.
sy having been lately established in the res
idence of the late Admiral Porter, which
has been exquisitely fitted up with furni.
ture brought from France.
Miss Elverson is a very pretty girl as
well as a brilliant one. She was educated
In rance and Germany, and her linguistic
and musical accomplishments are beyond
the ordinary. She speaks all the modern
languages with fuency and precision, and
1t is said NJ. Patenotre's attention was first

line. Ihere is a strong reaction setting in
against the high collars women have been
wearing SO long. No amount of cleaning
could keep the inside of the band from be-
coming greasy and dusty, and sometimes
the material was rough, but with it all not
one woman out of fifty can show her neck
now without some sort of device to hide
the roughness and pimples. With warmer
weather the. collars will grow narrower
and disappear, and ladies will poultice
their necks with bread and milk and tine
ture of benzoin until they are white and
smooth once more.
Lace will play a very prominent part
again this spring. I have seen three or four
wooden gowns, to say nothing of several
silk ones, with the sleeves made of lace.
Fur is seen on such sleeves united with lace
and ribbon. Naturally, where lace, ribbon
and fur are all used on one sleeve, that
sleeve is for some rather festive occasion.
A sleeve of this style had a balloon puff,
with a band of fur at the elbow, just above
a fall of lace. A bow on the shoulder had
three long ends, which formed loops ending
under the fur band. The forearm piece had
fur around the wrist. This sleeve is an or
nament to a plain gown and I think could
be made of black lace with good effect.
Ny attention has been called to some
novel fchus, and as they are not only pref
ty, but easily made, I mention them. One
had the foundation Of net, and down the
front there were three rows of Irish point,
reaching to the waist. There was a rufle
of null all around the shoulders, edged with
Irish point. Above that was a doubled
rufhe of null, and a narrower one of the
same, which stood upright. From under
the dropping ruf1le started two scarf ends of
null, reaching to the waist line, where they
gathered in under a bow of ribbon with
long ends. This can be worn over any
gown and forms a very dainty and graceful
finish to a plain toilet.
Another pretty fchu collarette was much
In the same style, but had a foundation of
valenciennes lace, with a hemmed frill of
pale blue chiffon and a standing ruching of
the same. There was a row of lace sewed to
a row of the sheerest swiss embroidery.
There were blue chiffon ties, which were
over a yard long and intended to be tied
into a bow and ends at the waist in front or
brought around behind the back and knot
ted loosely there.
There was a novel fchu made in the form
OF Il sailor collar of white surah over a stiff
foundation. The collar was bordered with
a double ruching of narrow black lace, and
below that was a frill of black lace inches
wide. From under the ends of the collar
there were two brides of white crepe lisse,
brought to points intended to cross over the
breast n fasten under a belt. There was
another sfchu made on this model, only this
had two null rufles bordered with narrow
black lace instead of the one deep frill of
black lace. They were both pretty and
suitable to wear with anything.

Now that Lord Rosebery is settled as the
successor of Gladstone in the premiership
Of the English cabinet and the leadership
sf the Liberal party, discussion has already
begun as to the probable length of his ten
ure of power. It is recognized that he is an
unusually young man to be intrusted with
such great responsibility and power. Since
the days Of the second Pitt no one SO young
has been called to the premiership, but that

There is no reason why Rosebery may not

there are many things that initiate against
the likelihood Of his doing so. 1t depends
upon his ability to harmonize the discord.

conciliate the tickle constituencies when

experience far different from that of the
ordinary run of noodles who wear titles and

pronounced ''creditable. but not brilliant"
Mr.. Weyman was called to the bar at the
Inner Temple in 18s1and Joined the Oxford
circuit where he continued to practice for
10 years or SO, though the law was not par
ticularly congenial to him, and his heart
was set on literary work. A short story of
his which had been accepted by Chambers
Journal during his college days fired his
mind with dreams of literary success, and
he kept on writing till his dreams came
true. For the behoof of literary aspirants
1t should be mentioned that no one seemed
to want his first long novel, and after sever
al publishers had rejected it he very cour-
ageously destroyed the manuscript.

of Representatives.
Newton Grain Blanchard, who has been
appointed by Governor Foster to succeed
Judge 3. D. White as senator from Louisi-
ana, is one of the younger members of the
senate, being only a little past IS years of
age, but has had the advantage of 10 years
continuous service in the house of repre-
sentatives. He was first elected to the
Forty-seventh congress in 1880 by a large
majority and has been returned to each
succeeding house without any serious p
sition. He was an aspirant for the senator

Inc beauty and grace. It was of mat white
cheney silk, with indistinct pale blue dots
set ~irregularly all over it. The skirt was
quite straight and gathered very full with
deep gathers and sewed to the waist with a
piping. The infant waist had a double
stirring at the top and was brought to a
very small point both front and back.
There were bretelles of mazarin blue vel
vet ribbon, which formed knots on the
shoulders, and there was a belt made of the
same. ending a close knot. The sleeves had
triple puffs, each n held in by a velvet
ribbon. There was no other Ornamental
ton, but the dress was beautiful.
The fashion of having ribbon bretelles is
a pretty one, and one that is productive Of
q very dressy effect with little trouble.
Almost any one can add these little touches
to a plain frock, and it is often done SO that
one dress may have three or four sets of
ribbon, Of different colors. One young lady
had a plain black taffeta gown, and to
wear with this she had five different sets of

son has a handsome country place of more
than so acres or Georgetown heights, over

tertains extensively. The town house is in
Walnut street, Philadelphia.
M. Patenotre is a tall, handsome man
about Is years of age, with iron gray hair
and large, expressive eyes. He is one of the
most accomplished diplomats i n Washing
ton and ranks high in his country's foreign
service. He began his diplomatic career at
Athens, where he was secretary of legation
when Jules Ferry was French minister to
Greece. His next post was in Persia, and
since that he has served in turn at Buenos
Ayres, Picking, Stockholm and Tangier. His
most notable diplomatic achievement was
the negotiation Of the treaty Of Tien.tsin,
which put an end to the French wal with
China.

opinions and speeches that he was forced
to leave his native land and took up his res
idence in London. Three years later he
came to the United States and settled at
Racine. Wis, where he became editor of
Slavic, the Oldest and most influential Bo-
hemian newspaper in America.
Besides his native Bohemian, Mr. Jonas
is we'll posted in the German, French and
English languages and literature, and per-
sistent study and extensive travelling have
done much to increase his attachments and
broaden and liberalize his ideas. He was
In Europe during the Franco German war
and witnessed part of that great struggle
from the German headquarters. In 1872 he
paid a visit to Bohemia and was promptly
arrested on the ground that he was liable
to military service. AS he was a natural
lied citizen of the United States, the Amer
lean minister secured his release, though
the immunity of naturaliZed Americans in
Austria had not then been secured by
treaty.
Mr.. Jonas has served in both branches of
the legislature of his adopted state and was
the author of the Wisconsin factory law,
He was a Republican prior to the Greeley
campaign of 1872, but since then has been
an advocate of Democratic principles and
has been active in the service of that party
both editorially and on the stump. He
was appointed consul at Prague in 1885, dur
ing the first Cleveland administration, "a post
of which the salary-s3,O O0-is the same as
that at St. Petersburg, though the Russian
consulate is the more important and desir-

The predecessor of Mr.. Jonas at St. Pc
tersburg, DR.. John M. Crawford of Cincin-
natl, is a very popular man among the Rus
slams, having secured a hold upon their af-
fections by his translation of the great epic
poem of Finland, of which Russians are
fond and proud. DR.. Crawford is the only
American consul who has ever been favored
with a private interview with the car, and
his wife has had the honor of presentation
to the empress.

that we are to have the 1880 styles as the
