wife of a plain Mr." takes precedence
of a countess, while a dukes younger

a countess takes precedence of the
daughter of a marquis, too, but the lat

It is worse than the multiplication table
When people of Identical rank are in
company. it Is needful to know which
peerage was the elder creation" At
gathering at which her majesty was to
be present | was once standing talking
to a dowager marchioness when her
daughter-in-law, the reigning marchion-
ess. who had the management of things,
came to her mother in great anxiety:
Can you tell me which is the elder Gre
alton Downshire or DrOgheda? Lady
Downshire and Lady DrOgheda are both
here and which should go first?' The
elder peeress was ''sure they were near
together, but could not remember, and
ii was evidently a most serious difficulty
At last. though very reluctantly. the
hostess had to ask themselves to tell
her. not having her peerage at hand,
and the ladies were perfectly ready with
the information. Mrs. Fenwick Miller
writes that she was much impressed
with the Importance of such matters
when she consulted that precious vol
ume herself and found that the mar
quisate of DOwnshire was created in
1883, and that Of Drogheda in 1871. 1t
seemed rather droll that three marchiOn-
esses should lay stress on such mat
ter among themselves.-LOndOn Letter.

tration that great things are possible
against bitter odds-her achievements
are many.
Miss Florence Pullman is another stu
dent, and one that bios fair TO stake
honorable claims within the ranks of
brilliant whist players. Beneath her
placid, velvety countenance there turks
a depth Of understanding and quick per-
cepuon suited to a whist mind. Her
/ ready capabiity is manifesto in the ever
shifting lights of her dreamy dark eyes.
Another worshiper at the shrine of
the much-appreciated game is Mrs. GIL
man Smith. one of Chscagos most
charming society leaders. Her overflow
of characteristic wit and fun is not
daunted by the seriousness of even sci
entlfic whist, but nevertheless she is en-
chanted with its study and has the high
est appreciation of its worth.
Some of the finest whist players of the
country now feel that they must look to
their laurels. as the ladies are fast be-
coming formidable competitors in the
game and bid fair to diVesting the gen
tlemen of their victories, or, at least,
compelling them to share their honors.
Though il is evident that there are more
male than female whist clubs in the
country. some of the latter are very
unique in their way. One which takes
the lead in this respect though not very
old is known as the Sarah Battle Whist
club of New Albany, Ind, and if the
whist capacity of the ladies is equal to
their wits they must be delightful part
nerS well as dangerous opponents.
The above mentioned club has adopted
the following code, which is a very sug
gestive one, and is a warning to the
sterner sex in the same field to guard
their honors carefully if they still wish
to carry off the palm, as they are fast
being surrounded with formidable foes
who do not intend that they shall al

An English View of WOman's Love
The following estimate of wonlen's
love for her husband appeared in an
English periodical of a quarter of a
century ago: "A Frenchwoman will
love her husband if he is either witty
or chivalrous; a German woman, if he
is constant and faithful; a Dutchwoman,
if he does not disturb her ease and
comfort too much; a Spanish woman,
If he wreaks vengeance upon those
who incur her displeasure; an Italian
woman, If he is dreamy and pOetical; a
Danish woman, if he thinks that her
native country is the brightest and hap
piest on earth; Russian woman, il he
despises all westerners as miserable
barbarians; an English woman. if he
succeeds in ingratia ting himself with
the court and aristocracy; an American
woman, If he has plenty of money.
