A nc EXPRESSIONS.
The Art of Grace, which Is Something
Beautiful to BE Added to Nature.

Beautiful to he Added to Nature.
"Wiggle rour fingers in this way"
said IA disciple of Delsarte to his class of
pupils, "a little while every day for a
year. and it will help you not only to be
a better actor. but a better V doctor
or machinist or author OF carpenter or
preacher, or. il nothing else, a more
agreeable human being"
1t is impossible, writes Alice Yelling
ton Rollins. after quoting the above, in
~Lippincott'b, to see an entire class going
through the quiet. dignitied, intelligent
gymnastics of these ''gamuts of express
sion" for head, torso or arms without in
slant conversion to the wisdom of such
method, for it is here that what we may
call the science of dramatic expression
m into play as distinct from the art.
Strangely enough. mere contemplation Of
artistic models will not help you to beau
tiful dramatic expressions of your own.
You might see Ellen Terry once a
week for a year dismiss a servant ON the
stage without its occurring to you when
you go home to try to improve upon
your own methods of sending for a glass
Of water or Of ordering more coal put on
the fire. But once gain admittance to
the workshop where Ellen Terrys are
made, and even before you begin your
training mere contemplation of the
methods instead of the results. Of the
science instead Of the art of expression,
will startle you with the sudden self
revelation, Why, |, too, might perhaps
speak distinctly if | should try to learn
to do a simple thing gracefully
Many a portly woman might come
easily and with perfect self possession
through a curtained doorway, but when
you see n coached" to pause a mo-
ment between the curtains as she comes
through, parting the pOrtlcres slightly.
you begin to realize that art is not mere
ly an Interpretation of nature. but some,
thing beautiful to be added to nature.
Ever after your discovery that the
charming and picturesque effect is due
to the prosaic directions from the in,
structor, Don't raise both arms equally
high; let one hand rest a little higher
than the other; the motion Of Your RICH,
arm should emanate from your fourth
button and that of your left arm from
your sixth" you feel it no ~lessening OF
the dignity of art that it can thus be re.
Guced to an exact science.

One Phase Of New York Society.

If i'll olden days milady "swore her
pretty oath by yea and nay,"th modern
dame of fashion, with the frankness of
her world and period, uses the big, big
D. quite openly. Smoking seems to be
an accepted fact among the young mar
ried women belonging to the smartest
set in New York, and swearing is the
latest development. 1t is no uncommon
thing of late to hear pretty women use
among their intimates very strong. Ian
guage indeed. C%uriously enough, how
ever, and fortunately, too, for the gen.
eral good, these little indulgences are con-
fined to the intimates of the inner cir
Gle, while to society at large the modern
woman Of the world is a model of cold
propriety. There has grown up in Lon.
don-and of course New York has adopt
ed this latest innovation-a latitude of
speech and action among the truly mi
tiated of a certain set that is somewhat
appalling to those who hold the old fash
Toned standard of what Il lady may and
may not do.-New York Tribune.

The Emperor William has again tried
his hand at his favOrite game of sur
prises, and although it may have served
its purpose the officer who was made
the subject of the experiment had to pay
pretty dearly for it. The Second regi-
ment Of Dragon guards was called out
suddenly on to the Tempelhof common,
and an officer, Count Won Wedel, was
ordered to ride at once to Dresden with
a message for the king Of Saxony. The
count was not allowed to ride on the
high road, but had to take roundabout
ways, the supposition being that a hos
tile army had occupied the territory be-
tween the two capitals. This circum-
stance, combined with the slippery state
OF the roads and the se~verencold, made
the ride a hard one, and the count took
% hours to cover the distance. Imme-
diately after delivering his message to
the king Of Saxony the officer, thoroughly
exhausted, tainted away. A sergeant
who attended the count stood the test
much better.-Berlin Corresnondent,

Miss CleWs' Charity Glass.

Miss Elsie Clews, daughter of the mil
~lionaire banker. has organized a class for
the benefit of the needy and distressed.
This class will be held at her home
weekly.
1t is an idea of her own. Instead of
trying to get her friends to sew for the
poor, or anything of that sort, she simply
invites them to call on a certain day each
week. The young men are given a cup
of tea by her fair hands, and then they
must put a contribution in the 'poor
box" close at hand.
Miss Clews has many buds and bellies
to help her with what she calls her
"class," and each one has her own con-
tribution box, the contents of which
Easter Sunday they can devote to their
own particular pet charity New York

writer in Woman, is one Of the prettiest
children which it has ever been my lot
to see. And l hear upon the same au-

emily now and then his conscience smites
him because he has not as yet quite such
a warm corner for the last arrival, for
the other day he asked a male married
friend, quite pathetically. if he had any
favorites among his children.
Upon receiving the assurance-truth.
full or otherwise-that of course he had
not, the duke looked puzzled for a mo-
ment and then broke out: We'll l don't
care. | don't see how you can help it,
and went on quietly with the business he

A Young ViOliniSt,

Miss Leonora jackson, the young girl
whose beautiful playing on the violin
has attracted much attention of late, is
a Chicago girl whose talent must some
day make her renowned. During her re-
cent sojourn of 10 days in her native
city she so c~aptivated the select audi
ences before which she appeared that
sons of Chicago's most influential soci-
ETY. leaders have become interested in
her. A brilliant future is predicted for
this little artist by all who have had an
opportunity to judge of her gifts. She is
still a child, with unassuming. childlike
ways. Her health is perfect, and with
her rare talent she combines a strong
character-energy, patience and deter
mination.-Chicago Post.

THAT HeADSTRONG BOY.

The English Government Has Withdrawn
Its Threat to spank the Khedive.
The boy who is the knedive of Egypt
has taken it back and said he didn't mean
it, and SC the English government has
withdrawn its threat to spank HIM. The
incident has much aggravated the Egyp-
tan situation locally, but has improved
the British position before the other
powers. The exhibition Of headstronE
stupidity by the mo,.crn pharaoh ervrs
as an abundant excuse for England 70
continue the protecIorate until the lad
develops ordinary discretion. The first
suspicion that the khedive was prompt
ed by European mischief makers to in
suit his unwelcone British guests is no
longer held in view Of the utter folly of
his outbreak.
The matter is regarded merely as al
other proof Of the incompetence of the
yOunSSter for serious responsibilities.
The government accounts agree that hi,
renewed display of hostility toward the
English will make the task of British
supervision exceedingly difficult and may
lead to serious native outbreaks.
The khedive's silly conduct and the
sad death of Sir Gerald Portal have up
set an admirable diplomatic arrange,
ment. 1t had been decided that Lord
Cromer should go to st. Petersburg, and
that Sir Gerald Portal should succeed
him at Cairo The government was
only awaiting Sir Gerald's restoration tc

effect.-London Letter.
