In all this gimmer of white which

self famous taking these pictures told
Il writer for the New York Press that
the most marvellous thing about it
all was how few of the women had
pretty feet, and how very difficult it
was to make some of them understand
that they couldn't sleep in a high
heeled slipper; that either the little
pink foot itself must show naked like
the truth, or else it must be entirely
hidden; and he added that when a
woman had a pretty foot she usually
recognized it quite as well as he did,
and was quite as anxious to display it's
charms to the cold, glaring eye of the
camera r'.''' -

Successful in Horticulture.
The name Of a California woman is
now added to the list of successful
feminine horticulturists This one is
Mrs. Henry Barroillhet. She is the
widow Of San Francisco banker who
gave up his entire fortune on the fail
ure Of his bank. At his death, says the
New York Sun, his wife set to work
to supply flowers to the San Francisco
markets, and she now owns 14O acres
Of fine land, all under cultivation. Sev-
en- acres are in orchards, and there is
an Immense violet bed, twenty acres
in extent. There are seven acres Of
chrysanthemums; roses, lilies and other
flowers divide good many more acres
between them. Two thousand eucalyp-
tus trees and 1900 pines, sequoias and
other trees are very profitable, the
branches and leaves serving for decora-
tons. Every day during their respect
i've seasons S, 900 ehrysan hem,.lns,. g 600
punches of violets, and 800 to 1000
Duchesse de Brabant roses are shipped
to the city. Hundreds of other flowers,
OF course, go with them in fragrant
company, but the specialties are vio-
let's at $3.50 per dozen punches, and
chrysanthemums at from 1 to 5 cents
apiece. Last season there were $4,000
chrysanthemum plants in bloom, jnclud-
Ing 275 of the finest Japanese varieties
When Mrs. Barroillhet was shipping
1000 punches of violets daily she had
only tive-acre bed. Since then she has
enlarged it by fifteen acres, 50 that the
number Of punches will be quadrupled.
This flower plantation is said to he a
perfect Eden. The proprietress per-
sonally attends to every detail of irri-
cation, cultivation, gathering, packing
and shipping Her success demon
strates what a pluclzy and intelligent
woman can do when thrown on her
own resources.
A Lover of csh Air.
Queen Victoria seems almost imper-
yious to drauglts and cold, and no
doubt this makes her somewhat incon-
siderate to tho ,e around her. Her sons
and daughters frequently complain of
the coldness Of their mothers home.
She Is quite unlike most old ladies Of
her age in many of her tastes; and,
while they enjoy the cozy arm chairs
before the fire, the queen is taking her
daily drive. It has to be very bad
weather to stop this regular outing; for
though rain and snow may close the
carriage, her majesty is always very
loath to give up her drives. And they
are drives! The pace at which she
likes to 60 is another instance in which
the queen differs from most of her sex
and age. They are, as a rule, content
with, and even anxious for, very slow
and dignified manner, Of progression.
But not so her majesty. Twelve miles
all hour is the pace at which she insists
on being driven when she is in the
country, and, as she knows the dis
tances Of all the drives in the neighbor-
hoods Of her different homes, she at
cnce detects if her commands are not
ried out. Directly a horse is unable to
go this pace, he is no longer eligible
for her majesty's use.-Paris cor. Of

The Winter Shirt Waist.
This is fastened up the back and
bears small resemblance to the summer
cousin. A favorite departure will be
the sole shirt. It has a cuirass-like
piece that covers the entire front, and
which starts at the shoulder seams,
rounds at the edge just below the waist
line and is provided with two tab-like
pieces that pass around to the back
fastening there at the waist with q ro-
sette 1t is sort of serpentine that
doesn't wind, as it were. The stole
piece is loose from the shirt itself, and
