Ame,ie Rives of Today.

Mrs. Chanler has strong face, reg
ular features and with chin of firm
ness. Her nose is little inclined to be
beaked, somewhat like her fathers. Her
complexion is healthy and indicates vi
tality. There is the patrician air about
her tempered with gentleness. One for
gets in her presence that she could write
q book throbbing with human passions
that at times reach paroxysm Of frenzy
greater in intensity than anything Dante
has ever written. In one less gifted it
would have been considered puerile sem
timent run mad This handsome matron,
still young, still in the prime of glo-
rious womanhood, has all that wealth
can give. But has she reached the zenith
of her aspirations, or does she still
dream that she will write book which
will create more comment and more
criticism than "The Quick or the Dead?"
No one can fathom that question by
gazing at her handsome face. Her life
abroad and the homage that Has been
paid her have robbed her Of the ingenu-
Gus girlhood ways which her friends
knew and loved SO well in her rural
home That is not saying she is not sim
cere and not as friendly as ever. 1t

The Curve of the Hat.

The great point in hat nowadays,
writes Cousin Madge, is the character
of the curve. If we suppose family of
some nine or ten sisters, with a certain
similarity Of outline, we shall yet find
that no two Of them look their best in
exactly the same hat. What, then,
must 1t be with the world Of girlhood
at large? 1t is absolutely safe to say
that there never was yet any hat worn
by sisters in which one was hot, to q
certain extent, sacrificed to the other.
Take, for instance, the large hat of soft
and flexible fine black chip, with it's
multitude Of exquisite feathers for trim
ming and its one blush rose at the
back. with another companion bud rest.

Cotton, Isle and silk stockings are

the number, prefer a cotton to Isle
thread stocking, inasmuch as the twist
OF the thread in the Isle ones irritates
the soles of the feet Dark blue and
black stockings are liked for street
wear, except when tan shoes are worn,
and then, of course, the stockings match
the shoes. The navy blue stocking is
usually chosen by those who find that
the dye from black stocking affects
their skin. This is by no means COM
mon, but the very minute it is discov-
cred one should cease wearing the black
and select another color, or else wear
white, for one never knows to what ex-

or scarlet shoes or slippers the stockings
are chosen to match, and these may
be got in silk at much lower price
than is given for black ones. Many
women have discovered that the wear
ing of suspenders pulls silk stocking

The British Radical Leader Reads Queen
Victoria an Ironical Sermon.


The British Radical Leader Reads Queen
Victoria an Ironical Sermon.
In recent issue of Henry Labou-
chere's Truth appears the following de-
hghtfully ironical paragraphs from his
caustic pen;
Thank heaven the birthday of her
majesty is over, and am safe for one
more yearl Since the queen has taken
to celebrating her natal day by knight
ing or baroneting these connected with
journalism see the day approach with
fear and trembling lest my sovereign
should be minded to knight or baronet
me. Never is there creation of "sirs"
without some of them assuring rae that,
far from asking to be made one, they
did not even know that this was con-
templated until they saw their n2naes
in The Gazette. I invariably believe
what any one tells me; therefore the
danger seems to me to be a real one. My
objection is double one. prefer the
plain mister" Of British citizen, and
1 should fear, were knighted, that my
readers would suspect me of being actu-
ated rather by gratitude than by sincere
admiration whenever l felt called upon
to praise her majesty's advisers.
Not indeed that object to any one be-
ing knighted il this adds to his pleas
ure in existence. A knighthood at
least has the advantage Of not descend
ing to the son Of the gentleman who be-
comes ''sir.' was discussing the
other day with q friend of mine who
had declined the honor whether it was
an advantage to parliamentary candi-
date or the reverse. He commended that,
such is the inherent snobbism Of the
Anglo-Saxon race, the advantage is con-
siderable. There is certain amount Of
truth in this.
Although not myself DESTROYS Of be-
ing knighted or baroneted or Of being
officially allowed to wear a colored rib
bon or a metal disk, sincerely wish
the queen many happy returns Of the
day. and trust that she may have many
other occasions to confer birthday hon.
ors on her subjects, provided that she
does not include me ever in the distri-
button. We must judge of sovereigns
by sovereigns, and certainly the queen
has been the best monarch that has sat
upon the British throne. The unreason-
ing loyalty that elevates a sovereign
into sort of divinity has disappeared,
and the institution of monarchy is now
judged very much on the merits or de-
merits of the incumbent of the throne.
The queen enjoys personal popularity
which must be far more gratifying to
her than the abject sentiment that leads
free men to grovel before crown,
whether it be on the head Of the vilest
or the best of human beings. What
object to in monarchy is not SO much
the monarch-when, as with us, the
sovereign reigns, but does not rule-but
the courtiers and the flunkies that it
brings into existence. Charles II was
not commendable sovereign, but al
ways have had liking for him on ac-
count of his undisguised contempt for
his courtierS.

Skilled Girl Jewellers,

On Sixth avenue, just below Four
teenth street, New York, is jewelry
firm which consists Of two young wom-
en-. There are several women who carry
on the jewelry business with men to do
the work, but these girls are expert
jewellers themselves. They were both
brought up in the business by their IA
Their, and when he died the girls were
competent to carry it on. They make
many lovely rings to order, but their
speciality is watch mending. Both are
skilled workwomen. One is reckoned
among the finest watch repairers in New
York city and understands the mechan-
ism of imported Swiss watches that are
too much for many old hands. In fact,
so we'll known is her talent that the
most famous firms of jewellers in New
York, whose names are known the coun-
try over, send many delicate timepieces
to her to be mended and supplied with
some delicate spring or bit of meohan-
ism that otherwise would have to be
sent abroad to be fitted.
Both young women are bright, pretty,
intelligent, and nothing on the sign or
about the establishment would for an
instant suggest that the business was
entirely handled by two young women.
They are doing well, they say, and get
ting ahead in the world.
