sCHoOLBOY LOVE.
If you love me''-said the trembling ifps
Bent close to cheek like a rose flesh
blown,
And the ardent gaze of the youthful swain
sought the oowneast oros close beside his
If you love me"-strove the falt'ring
tongue
So vainly to tell what the heart held dear.
And the flush rose high on the boyish brow
- er the ripe red lips so inviting near

Gained strength as the youth more coursg-
And the small brown hands nesting In his

Lay iupassive there, as he nearer drew
AS love you'-ah, the magic tale
That's been always new since the world
was young,
And repeated Ter and DER again
Inc wide world around and in every tongue
no KNIFE can cut'-that was easy, quite
IWas the open ming words that we're hard
to say;
And gallant air rested on the boy
As he closed his plea in a reckless way
our love IN twol" II was out at last
AND a stolen kiss promptly sealed the vow,
An, sweet was the tale in the long ago.

The physique of the American woman
OF society, says the New York Tribune,
is improving She is becoming tall. ro-
bust and beautiful, with broad shoulders
OF lovely curve, and waist whose round,
firm, 1.-the contours owe nothing to art
the waist is healJhily small because the
muscles are strong and in perfect work

OF comforts which now temper the nerve
tearing effects of this changing climate.
Sanitary appliances of every kind, cohve-
nlenceS which reduce the minor worries
OF life to infnitesimal proportions, are
considered in every architects plan
and many of these are things which
could not be commanded by money a
few years ago because they had not been
devised.
The troublesome domestic service of
this country does not specially af1ict the
wealthy woman of society, for she gener-
ally has trained bousekeeper In cases
where such functionary does not rule,
the mistress of the house is one who has
talent for government, and who knows
how to reduce to order some of the most
unruly and pampered beings in this world
OF work. Such q woman enjoys the exec
utive part of domestic life and holds it in
proper subordination to the duties and
pleasures of society.
Another thing which conduces to health
is the growing habit of spending a larger
part of the year in the country. For
this we have to thank Englishmen; it is
one of the few excellent results of Anglo
mania
Mr.. William Waldorf Astor's weekly
newspaper, one of the stoutest organs of
CT
publishes the fascinating story that no
less exalted a parsonage than the plump
and matronly Princess Beatrice the ia
vorlte daughter of the queen, has been
actually taken for AN American tourist"
and that she played the part without re-
vealing her identity. Thus runs the en-
chanting tale:
"A short time ago Princess Beatrice
escorted by her husband, Prince Henry
of Battenburg, took advantage of the
quiet now prevailing at Cowes to make a
brief trip TO the French coast. Their
royal hignesseS preserved the strictest in
cognito, and were so successful in escap-
ing recognition that not a word about
their little French excursion has leaked
out IN the French or English
papers They were taken for
American tourists, and in that guise en-
joyed themselves immensely at ST. Malo
and elsewhere, mingling unsupported
with the crowd and entering into the fun
of the thing like ordinary mortals They
visited Mont ST. Michel and cheerfully
joined in che rush for seats at the BILE
hote after watching the culinary opera
lions in the Brobdingnagian kitchens
Princess Beatrice had with some diff
Guilty secured a place, when a young lady
opposite said to her: Would you mind
changing with me, so that l may sit next
to my young MANI The request was, of
course, granted. with so laudible an OBJ
ject in view, and if that damsel reads the
Pail Mall Budget she will have the OPP
portunity of blushing at her indiscretion."
Take young American woman to Lon
don. says Ward McAllister in the New
York World, and give her footing in
fashionable society and you will soon see
that it changes her whole nature and
that she becomes intoxicated with Eu-
ropean life. Then, for the first time, she
is fired with an upquenchable social am
bition the softer attributes of her wom-
anhood seem to be laid aside.
She rushes into societys arena with
dash and a determination to go to the
front and remain there. All the old
friendships of her earlier years become
distasteful to her ;she appears to look upon
them as bygones, for she feels she is with
a new people and is beginning a new
car eer ana must not be in any way ham
pered, especially with Americans, whose
republican birth and principles are abhor-
rent to the European.
She fights manfully for place and soon
creates a personal individuality for her
self to replace the birth and wealth then
surrounding her. She is invariably sue
cessful, but in accomplishing this success
she loses much of the charm of young
womanhood. Meeting such American
women in London, whom / have known
from their childhood, surrounded by peo-
pie of title saw at glance that they
were loath to recognize me. The simple
fact of my being an American was enough
TO make them try to fight shy Of me. l
saw this in their look and bearing
towards me, and took good care to give
them no. opportunity 10 give me the cold
shoulder Their nature appeared TO be
changed by the European atmosphere.
"But you eastern people are so conven-
tional y said the western beauty TO Bos-
ton man who, says the New York Tribune,
was regarding her with half fearful ad-
miration. Your language is so unpic-
turesque. Now. think our slang is de-
lightful, it is most suggestive. don't you
know. You can express ever 80 much
more than you would dare TO say in ordi-
nary parlance," she continued coquet-
tishly.
"Oh, do talk slang TO me, then" begged
