PARIsIENNES UNUSUALLY CLEVER.
p Sarah Bernhardt and other French
actresses haye introduced such scenes
with great success. Miss Tempest's
new opera, 1.-THE Fencing Master
hinges upon q combat with rapiers.
Many fashionable Paris doctors pre-
scribe fencing for their patients, but
there are a host of pretty Parisiennes
who do. not take this severe treat
ment for health's sake alone, but
from a genuine fondness for the diver
sion. It is said to be u.s. onishing how
skillful Partisan women become in the
use of the foils. They are fair rivals
of the celebrated woman duelist
Maupin, who stretched six or seven
adversaries on the greensward under
the def lunge OF her napier. Some,
French woman-hater--and they say
there are such creatures even in
France-has said: "The trickery,
delicacy, deception Of woman's char
acter finds a good expression for itself
Mofct, art IT encing.'
Motrli can ntyre, who is SO we'll

Amens who he have heard her over

Among the professional women fencers
in France should be mentioned Nine.
Emile Merignac. She has sustained
bouts with the most skilful masters
Of the art and has established . repu-
tation worthy o fenvy at the Nouvean
Cirque and as Bordeaux. Nantes and
Rheims by her admirable sword play.
Without losing any Of her elegant
grace she can repel q sharp attack
with the rapier. Mime. Gabriel, wife
Of the assistant fencing master Of st.
tyyr, has also won much applause by
her grace and skill. Mile Marcelle IL
equally we'll known. She is by sheer
force Of temperament q lively fencer,
and her work is marked by 90
much boldness az . mans. Mime.
Constant Salon, whose husband
10 fencing master at the Turf club
Cairo, has made for herself q great
reputation as q teacher of fencing,
and scores of young European women
in Egypt have profted by her instruc-
tion. Mime. Pouyet, in a fencing
match at Agen, had as her adversary
one Of the best masters of fencing in
the French army, and she came out of
the contest in flying colors. Nine.
Paoli-Foresto, wife of the professor in
Florence, Italy, is also q fine fencer
and has q ready eye for an attack.
Al for Bernhardt, she is not to be
compared with her SON Maurice as q
master Of the foil, but she ia expert
enough to detect and applaud the fine
work in her wiry sons sword play.

SOME WHO HAVE TAKEN LESSONS.
Actresses who have taken lessons
are as g. rule more self-confdens than
other women. Probably their stage
training has made them this way, and
then. too, they generally take them
with q, view to use it in their plays, 50
IL is much O. matter of business With
them.
The fencing costume OF q woman
consists of a waist, a pair OF panta-
lettes and a skirt. They are all made
OF the lightest material and tit loose
". The skirt and pantalettes only
to the knee, and stockingsshould
only be worn to within three inches OF
the knee-cap, 80 as to permit OF that
Joint bending freely at all times.
Such a costume made OF blue serge
should not cost more than $40. Suits
of fancier material would, OF course,
come higher. For the Implements OF

outlay is 81, the mask $3.50, the

the entire outfit about $25. .

CHIEF DIFFICULTY WITH THE WRIST.
Women find most difficulty in cul-
tivating strength in the wrist. Their
bodies are supple enough and they are
quick enough on their feet, for allthat
they have learned in the ballroom.
But a woman's wrist is ~proverbially
weak, and it takes q mighty lot Of
work to make it strong. Those who
saw Miss Julia Senac and
Miss Jeanette Perie gave their fenc-
ing exhibitions at the Casino roof
garden, in New York. some weeks ago
will not be inclined to scout the idea
OF woman's ability to fence. The
spirited contests between those two
young women were quite exciting and
realistic enough to satisfy the desire
Of any person in search OF genuine
amusement. They used often to end
their battles with many black and
blue spots on their arms whore the
points had been scored.
Miss Senac is probably the finest
woman fencer inthis country, although
when it is considered that her father
is fencing master, the best in Americas,
and q graduate Of French school, IL
is not to be marveled at.
Miss Senac is endowed with Ill
the ease and grace Of the Frenchwo-
man, and she has the strength and
power Of endurancs Of q man HAr

Fencing will be revived this year and
practiced more than ever before.
This accomplishment is quite COM
mon among the young French and
German women, and some of them
are as skillful as their big, lithebroth-
srs who fight duels for honor's sake
or choose that. way of settling dit
ierences with q troublesome class

Last winter young women who be-
lieved they were created for some
thing more than merely following
fashions tickle folly took up this
snort at first as q new fad, but they
became so interested and delighted
with it that before spring the class
had grown to such proportions that
the fencing-master was compelled to
refuse new scholars at one time. True,
last winter was not the first that
ladies lad been known to show inter-
est in the art, but the classes Of pre-
vious winters were exceedingly small
as compared with it. They realized
that fencing gives exercise to all the
mus les of the body, without. the vio-
lence attending manly sports. It cul-
stivated the eye to quick action and
the mind to .eady thinking. All parts
Of the human frame, from the brain
to the feet, are in, constant
motion all the time. The tension
never relaxes so long as the other
fellow, or girl, stands with foil in air.

A cycling romance has been spoiled,
and SO has a cycling costume, in one
of the pleasantest suburbs of South
London. Last Sun6ry morning as q
gentleman was whct u his way along
his fayorite country lane, he gradually
overlook a lady bicyclist attired in the
rational costume which, for a wonder,
became her well. Elegantly cut, fault
from hat to CATERS, spoke the lady
so far, at least, as style went--and the
critical spectator was fast becoming
a convert to the aesthetic claims Of
the new fashion, when the fair rider
wObblcd, hesitated and was lost In q
ditch at the side OF the road. Quickly
he rushed to her assistance, helped her
to her feet and busted her carefully
down, the while she thanked him In
stammering accents for his courtesy.
That voice! he thought, where had he
heard it before? And he lifted his eyes
to hers. OF course he Ind heard those
tonesthey were his cooks. He for

himself on his own tTlsty steed and fed
home to his wife.
Inquiries showed that the errant do
nestle had a friend In service whose
mistress was a blcyclist, and In the alb
sence OF her employers from town she
had allowed the cook to borrow both
bicycle and costume wherewith to cut
a dash. But the turn OF the wheel
