Mary Hallock FoOte.

Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote, the artist
author, is by birth New Yorker, al
though since her marriage she has re-
sided in Boise City, the scene of nearly
all her recent stories. Her art education
was chiefly acquired at Cooper insti-
tute the mecca of so many aspiring
geniuses. For years after her success
was assured Mrs. Foote refused to let q
curious public know anything of her
personality. Even now but little is
known Of the woman, however general
is the appreciation of her work. Her
likeness has never appeared in print but
once. and that was only after long and
urgent persuasion on the part of the
magazine to which all her work, both
literary and artistic, is by contract
pledged, and which was then publish
ing an illustrated article upon its con-
tributors. Since that time Mrs. Foote
has been obdurate to all appeals for her
portrait, although she is besieged from
every quarter.
While never permitting her home
duties to interfere with the natural ex-
preston Of her genius, yet, after all, it
is as one of the many happy wives and
mothers Of America that she prefers to
be known. She has three charming
daughters, the eldest of whom, although
yet very young, already displays a
marked artistic talent. Mrs. Foote'S
work has confined itself almost wholly
to illustration in black and white, aud
one of the greatest compliments ever
paid her was that 'she produced better
color effects with pencil than most art
lists did with brush. "-Philadelphia
Times.

Apparently the entertaining of royal
ty has its little disadvantages. When
the Princess of Wales accepted Lady
Dudley's invitation to her dance last
week, she stipulated that only $50 peo-
pie were to be asked. When the list of
the chosen was sent to Marlborough
House, so many were struck off that only
30 unmarried girls were left, several of
the hostess own near relatives being
ruled out. The consequence was the
ball was failure, for the few guests in
vited could hardly find each other in
the vast rooms of Dudley House. Lon

Hints to Women Batbers.

DO not place too much trust in but
tons and strings. Re-enforce all fasten-
ings by safety pins. You will enjoy
your bath much better If not oppressed
by conviction that when you leave the
briny deep for the beach your stockings
will be wad Of wet cloth around your
ankles.
When tho eventful moment arrives
when you are ready to open the door of
your bathhouse and appear before crit
ical company, you will probably be seized
with distaste for your costume. You
will long, quite absurdly, but neverthe-
less strongly, for long skirts and sleeves.
Remember at such crucial periods that
matters will not be improved by delay,
and that the best place in which to hide
your abbreviated draperies is in the wa
ter, not In front of the bathhouse door.
Brown locks or golden done up in
coquettish knots are pleasanter to look
upon than oilskin caps. But salt water
plays havoc with coquettish knots. Un-
less you are prepared to follow every
sea bath by shampooing period of
greater or less length, cover your crown
ing glory with an unpicturesque cap.
The woman who is learning to
swim" is the recipient Of much more at
tention than she who knows how to
swim. If the society and advice of men
are dear to you even In the vast deep,
never quite master the gentle art of
swimming, but always be about to mas
ter it.
Don't venture beyond your depth and
allow yourself to be rescued more than
once or twice during the season. It's
romantic, Of course. but even roman
tic thing can bo done often enough to
become merely monotonous
Don't show your love Of the water by
staying in very long. 1t Is pleasant
thing to talk about. ones love Of the
water. but to display it by remaining in

Changed Dresses at the Races.

The fashionable women of England,
it would seem, have plenty of time to
think Of dress. At Ascot recently there
was heavy downpour of rain one day,
and some Of the ladies, thinking, doubt
less, that the bad weather would con-
tinue, started the next day in cloth and
serge costumes, but when they reached
the race track. behold, the sun was shin
ing, and there was not cloud in the
sky. 30, with commendable prompti-
tude, they telegraphed home for the re-
luotantly surrendered gowns Of the
morning and soon emerged like 30 many
butterflies from 30 many ohrysalides.
Some exquisite toilets were seen. The
Princess Of Wales was oostumed in

her throat. During the drive she had ON

Justice For the summer Girl.

The American girl is showing her
amazing address and aptitude at thou.
sand spots by the seaside and mountain
this summer, as in score Of summers
before.
As the "summer girl" she has her
rattling fire of criticism to face, but the
astonishing thing is not that she makes
few blunders in her social code or
shows too little restraints in her beha-
yior, but that she does not fall into
worse pitfalls and cast all restraint to
the winds
OF the thousands and tens of thou
sands of American girls whose behavior
amazes and whose beauty charms by
every beach and ON every hillside, the
great mass have seen little or nothing of
any but the uarrowest social conditions
in village, town or the restricted circle
of a small city house until they find
themselves in big hotel leading life
of unmitigated publicity and living in
the midst of strangers.
Most of these girls have had no social
experience. Their mothers have had as
little. Their men folk are away. On
the instant they have to adjust code of
village behavior to gregarious condi-
tions and free contact which would be
trying to one of experience. They make
blunders and do much that is foolish,
but their blunders are for the most part
trivial and their folly mere playfulness
which rarely brings them into harm.
Yet if they understood how much re-
serve restraint and rigorous self con-
troll do for woman in public and pri-
vate, how quickly it wins respect
which passes into admiration, and an
admiration which ripens into something
warmer, the American summer girl
would add the only charm she now
lacks. philadelphia Press.

Thirty Miles In the Earth.

Rev. Osmond Fisher, in very reli-
able work entitled "Physics of the
Earth's Crust" says that "the rate of
increase in temperature as the distance
beneath the surface is augmented is.
ON the whole, an equable one and may
be taken to average about degree for

ment as the most reliable, we find that

Women and the Supreme Court.

GAS n matter of fact" says Once a
Week, although eight women now
have the right to practice before the
supreme court, no woman has ever
availed herself of that right in prac-
tical way. The law admitting women to
supreme court practice was passed in
1870 and signed by President Hayes ON
the 18th Of February. John M. Glover
of Missouri introduced the bill in the
house Nov. 3, 1877. Benjamin Butler
reported it to the house from the COM
mittee Feb. 81, 1878, and it passed the
house the same day. The vote was 169
to 81.
'The law says that amy woman who
shall have been member Of the highest
court of any state or territory or of the
supreme court of tho District of Colum-
bia for the space Of three years and
shall have maintained good standing
before such courts, and who shall be o
person of good moral character, shall,
on notice and the production of such
record, be admitted to practice before
the supreme court of the United States ;
Mrs. Lockwood was eligible immediate
ly after the passage Of the law, and she
gave due notice, and on the 3D. of March,
1870, was admitted to the supreme
court bar.
"No other member of her sex was ad-
mitted to the supreme court for nearly
six years. Mrs. Laura DeForce Gordon
of California was the next to apply.
She was admitted Feb. 2, 1885. Then

Coal Tar In Masonry.

The announcement is made i'm The
National Builder that what was at first
considered doubtful experiment-viz,
the use Of coal tar as means of render
ing masonry impervious to water, espe-
cially in positions exposed to direct con-
tact with the latter--has proved q prac-
tically valuable resort. Used us coat.
ing for masonry built up Of very porous
stone, tar renders it quite impervious,
even at depth Of some 80 feet of wa.
ter, and, according to the experience of
those who have had much to do with
it, the article should be utilized in all
public buildings, particularly those de.
signed for the preservation of works of
art, the dissolving action of water, even
upon mortar of superior quality, being
well known; also the unfavorable effect
of the exudation Of water charged with
lime salts from the mortar. Two meth.
ods of using the tar are named-viz, in
a boiling state in one or several layers,
this being suitable for surfaces exposed
to the air, or it may be made to flame
up before using, this being appropriate
to surfaces which have to be covered up
