The advertisement tells OF hopes awak-
ened in two hearts. hearts in the very
heyday OF youth: OF hopes awakened to
be as suddenly blighted. It tells Of weary
years OF waiting and hoping. and Of such
love as we seldom find in these days; Of
such love as the master poet thought
when he wrote:
''Love't not Times fool. though rosy lips
and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass
come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and
weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of
DOOM"
No I confess. says a writer in the New
Orleans Picayune. that cannot find any
comic side TO the advertisement.
How one Of the girls at the Point ac-
quired her great popularity is told by
Clara Belle. writing from Sargentsville
TO the Cincinnati Enquirer. The 90 clock
tea was almost over; only one or two of
the jolly girls and some of the men re
manned, and at the last moment in came>a
lot of the fellows late. II seemed as If
there was little danger of any of the
the 1Ollest, most demure hostess in the
world made a hasty and delicious punch
in the little punch bowl. Everything was
as merry as you please. when-oh hor-

aged to hide their punch glasses, and the
scent of the roses spreading through the
rooms rather deadened the aroma Of the
| delicious mixture, but there was the punch
bowl still fairly full of the amber liquid
| The little hostess wasn't phazed min
| ute.
"Oh, DR.. Goodridge," she cried, you are
little late, but so welcome" this
time she was between him and the bowl
| And roses! You must have known that
my rose bowl was empty" said she, and
| turning sharply she put the flowers right
in the punch.
1t was an awful sight TO see all that
! good stuff spoiled. but the situation was
saved. She spread the blossoms around
so that no one would ever know what
they were in, and the Old gentleman made
long call, went away and never sus-
| pected.
But" said she, IT hadn't a safe mo-
ment. for fear the roses would get full
/ and begin to misbehave. After he had
| gone we pulled them out and went on with
our party, voting the quotation change I'd
to "a rose in any bowl will smell as
sweet"
| A new game, says the New York Tri-
bune, which is being played great deal
| by the very young Fashionable Amazons
| I'm the neighborhood Of Boston. and which
| has recently been introduced by Bryn
| Mawr, and also at some of the well known
| resorts, is called basket ball" As he
! only limit to the number of players is the
space at command. il is a game particu-
| larly well adapted to a watering place.
! 1t is a sort Of idealzed football. No
| kicking, running or striking at the ball
/ can be allowed
The ball is somewhat larger than foot
ball, but is made in the same way. ana
| is played into baskets which are defend
| ed by the opposite team. The object OF the
| game is TO put the ball into the opp0-
| nent's goal or basket. This may be done
| by throwing the ball from any part OF the
| grounds, under certain conditions and
! rules. The baskets are suspended at eacn
end of the grounds about ten feet from
! the ground or floor 0or this game can
also be played in gymaasium). A good
size for the out of door ground is $50 feet
in length, the side boundaries being 100
feet apart, and the ten-foot posts with
the baskets being at either end
To play the game the players should
be divided into two teams" each with a
captain Each player has an equal
| amount of work. When it is played by
girls each side adopts a color by which
| they are distinguished, and ii is a charm
ing sight to see twenty or thirty young
girls actively engaged in this spirited AMI
healthful game, for which the rules and
| apparatus may now be found at any of the
leading shops for sporting goods.
Here is a suggestion for American wives
who wish to be "helpmeets' to their hus-
bands. Madeline Bourget, who is her dis
| helper and critic, does not disdain TO aid
| him in public by wearing the most charm
| ing of frocks The day he was made a
| member of the academy she appeared in
| a dream of a dress" 1t was of gray
taffeta, with a narrow waistband and
collar of pale green velvet, with just a
line of cerise. giving tone and color to
the costume.
One of our loVeliest and most refined So
ciety women, says the New York Times
has her home throughout all the
winter months of each year at a certain
great hotel on Fifth avenue in this city.
In the summer she goes into the coun-
try to the home of her husbands par
ents. The mother-in-law asked the other
day, when she had just arrived for the
rest of the season, what she would like
to eat-that is. If she had any particular
deltcacy in mind.
Indeed, / nave, was the instantaneous
response. please let US have corned beef
and cabbage, fried onions, and pork and
beans as soon as possible" This reminds
one of a story told of herself by the only
daughter of California millionaire, who
returned home from a year spent in a sort
of triumphai procession over the conti-
nent. Her mother put the same query to
her, and received very much the same
answer: "Corned beef and cabbage. if
you please, mamma"
Here is a curious extract from the Lady's
Monthly Magazine of 1895. which is writ
ten in the style of the proverbs, as fol-
| lows:
Who shall describe a woman of fashion ?
Her value is only in her Jewels.
She seeketh powders and paint and with
her hands willingly maketh cosmetics.
She bringeth food and raiment from
afar. that it may be more costly; nothing
homely, or cheaply purchased, pleaseth
her.
She considereth piece of china and buy
eth it, and squandereth her husbands
money in vanity.
