This week. in her letter from Paris, the

is a new style of sending bonbons for New
Year which has made its appearance here.
1t consists OF inclosing them between
the folds of a very fine net made
of thick corded silk, representing a

The new year free from the black marks
that mean mistakes. And the law and the
prophets are summed up in this: Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Do
we? Is it love that induces you to tell
me witty and malicious story about nv
neighbor? Is it love that induces you to
hurt me N the heart as you tell me of a
that impeis me to answer you in an ugly,
sarcastic way? And to attempt to lessen
that which seems to you to be very great?
1t is a miserable, poor love, if you call it
that [ wonder when we all are to be
judged whether much will be forgiven be-
cause of real love-it seems to me it will.
Women all the world over MAKE their love
their life and starve themselves, sometimes
mentally, sometimes physically because
of it; deny themselves much for dear loves
sake, and then are hurt by it. 1t isn't wise
to love too we'll. Love child; some day
it strikes you. The blow doesn't hurt. It
is given with the soft hand of child, but
too often the day comes in the future when
the blow is given in a different way, and it
hurts your heart; hurts it so that the
wound makes bruise and you never for
get it.
Some day you love man. Love him as
only a woman can love. To him you offer
your best, mentally and physically; you
Joy in being his slave. And the day comes
when he tires of you. You have loved too
much. My friend, if you want to be a
happy woman have no strong emotions.
Let all your lives be placid ones, and then
your heart will never be hurt. 1t is true
that the fullness of life will never come to
you, but you will be saved so much pain,
and that means so much when you are
woman. And the bells swing to and fro
and it seems Just now as if they were sing

1t is death song.
What have you lost in ninety-five? At
some house there stopped little white
hearse and took away a dead child, and
that mother thought her grief the great

children died to those who loved them,
died such deaths that their names are no
longer spoken. To one woman ninety-five
brought bridal veil; another it snrouded
in crape-which is the happiest? And
what will come in ninety-six? Every year
we hope for something better, and every
year the same cid story repeats itself.

Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild may
fairly claim to be fin de steele agricultur-
list. She keeps a farm at Boulogne-sur
Seine, just outside the Bots, and here dur
ing the summer it is her delight to initiate
the weary votaries of fashion into the
simple pleasures of rustic life.
The guests are welcomed in Louis XIV
drawing-room, where the furniture is
covered with satin brocade of the palest
blush pink hue, and all the knick- knacks
and engravings are suggestive of the
ancient regime. One of the walls, how
ever, consists of a huge sheet of plate glass,

cravings have been stated by this charming
spectacle an adjournment takes place to

Then follows q stroll through the gar
dens laid out in the Louis XIV style, with
nymphs and fauns of stone cleaning
through the foliage, and lastly there is
visit to be paid to the diaries. By this
time it has become cool enough to ven-
ture on the homeward drive, and the car
riages are brought around, but each has to
carry besides its passengers a load of dairy
produce and colossal bouquet of roses as
souvenirs of the visit.

NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1ss5.-The bells
are ringing out the old and ringing in
the new year. And suddenly, as if dur
ing the year it counted for nothing,
some of us become conscious of an un-
pleasant little sensation, provoked by con-
science. Somehow it doesn't seem as if in
the year we had done all we might; as if
the soft answer had not been offered often
enough, and as if the year itself had been
one IN which there were few good works.
The book of the year looks blotted and
blurred. Here sorrow, there sin; here
a weakness, there worry, but only a few,
