There is a young lady in Philadelphia
whose father is a wealthy hotel keeper
and from whom she inherits a love for
cats and dogs. In her home there are
fully twenty cats and just as full a
variety of dogs. one Of the strangest
sights in West philadelphia on a pleasant
afternoon is to see the young lady take
her favorite pets out for an airing.
The pair consists OF a thoroughbred
bulldog and genuine Maltese cat. Usu-
ally they are chained together, and it
is a beautiful sight to see the tender solicit
tude with which the dog watches over
the safety of its little companion. If a

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, AE ETVlEaHfss.N NOV. 8.

The barber shops / saw in Europe arc
all very sparngly even stability, furnish
ed, and nowhere did I notice any attempt
10 decorate or luxuriously furnish them.
They are frequently In the back rooms OF
buildings, and even when they are in the
front rooms the chairs are In the rear por-
lions Of the rooms. and often there are
screens on the windows or between the
windows and the BARRIERS chairs
At first / was OF the impression that an
enterprising barber from this country
might do well by going into business In
London. Paris or other large European
cities, and showing the people how COM
fortably a barber shop might be made.
After further experience and cOnsidera-
ton. however / have concluded that II
would not pay, as the people over there
seem so set In their ways" and so used"
to poor barbering and uncomfortable
shops that ] doubt II they could appre-
ciate a change and enjoy a really pleas
ant shave In luxuriously furnished bar
ber's "parlor."

BARRIERS IN EUROPE.
They Can't Hold a Candle to the Pro-

None of us appreciate how well off we are
in many respects until we have made "a
tour through foreign countries. And just
now, when there is a lull in the flow of hui
morous in the newspapers about the 10
auaclous barber" may be the time to say
a good word for that too-much ridiculed
and very useful citizen of the United
States.
Often during the past warm weather the
adult male in this city has sauntered into
a BARRIERS saloon, where he was politely
helped off with his coat. He then
sank into a chair on which he might re-
cline at full length with his feet comfort
ably elevated while an electric fan cooled
the atmosphere. 1t no doubt often hap
pened that the customer remembered only
The beginning of the operations by the
tonsorial artist and fell into sweet slum-
ment that he had been shaved with a re-
quest that he sit up IN the chair, when his
face was washed, then powdered his
noustache Waxed and perfumed his hair

and brushed into the syle most becoming
had, Of course, turned the chair on its
pivot and adjusted il vertically, 50 as to
bring his customers face into the best po-
sition to be operated upon, and all was
done so quietly that the dreams OF the
customer had not been even disturbed.
And all this for one dime.
That had been my experience in bar
Der shop in this city for years. and even
during the early part Of the season just
gone. But, like most Of our good people

sembled in a Paris lecture hall to hear
one of a series of lectures delivered by
a celebrated professor Of chemistry. At
the conclusion Of the lecture a lady and

when the lady caught her escort staring

The majority Of the women in the
audience had suffered in a similar man
ner. They were all sorts of colors-blue

vanity had induced them to put ivory on

cheeks and black on the eyebrows had
undergone a ludicrous transformation.

A Comedy
They parted with clasped hands
And kisses and burning tears.
They met in a foreign land
After some twenty years.
Met as acquaintance meet;
Smiling. tranquil-eyed;
Not even the least little beat
OF the heart upon either side.
They chatted of this and that.

And he in black for his wife.

state-that is, not made up" says the
Philadelphia Record. Even the very best
plate glass has a pale green tinge, which
reflects color trifie less clear than the
original; hair also has always a more
glossy sheen than the glass show.
If it is wavy, the glass never shows the
best of the waves. and if it is straight,
the glass accentuates the straightness.
More important, and still better to be re-
membered and carefully treasured, no one
ever looks at the face so closely or so
critically as the owner of it looks at the
reflection in the glass.
Blemishes that are grief to non-con-
her friends. The two or three gray hairs
that appear unfairly soon on the head of
a girl who overworks her brain simply
have the effect of high lights in picture
and pass for extra gloss.
The figure that looks heavy when seen
only as far as the waist in glass may be
absolutely in graceful proportion when
seen with the rest of the figure.
How many who daily use the name of
Mrs. Grundy have any idea of her origin?
1t is generally believed that Dickens was
somehow responsible for her, but a writer
in the Dundee Advertiser points out that
this is an utter mistake. The real creator
of Mrs. Grundy was Thomas Morton, the
dramatist Cborn in 1864, died 1888, the ia
ther of the author of BOX and Cox" and
she is referred to in his comedy, Speed
the Plow," which was first performed in
179S Mrs. Grundy is not a character in
that play! she is merely a mysterious per-
sonage whom Dame Ashfield the farmer s
wife, constantly quotes, much in the same
way as Sairy Camp alludes to Mrs. Har-
ris.
The American girl, says the New York
Tribune, has been discussed and analysed
until one would think the subject had been
exhausted, but a new development in
England lends to the discussion a revived
interest 1t is one of t44e amusing signs
of the times that the British matron, after
having for years utterly disapproVed Ct
nected with our young countrywomen, is
now endeavoring to find out the secret OF
her attractions, and to teach her little
ways to her own somewhat stOlid brood.
To tell the truth she is fairly frightened
at the influx of Americans into the peer
she finds she cannot kin with disap-
prevail, she seems inclined to initiate.
But here comes a difficulty, an insupera-
BILE obstacle of race. What an American
can do, with a sort of airy aduacity
quite her own is apt to become rather
The explanation of this seems to be that
the American type is more spirituelle
Our women may be eccentric, unconVen-

coarse. An innate refinement and GOODNESS
of temperament saves them from vulgar

ing courage of originality that foreigners
admire. One of the happiest and most
satisfactory Of diplomatic marriages in
Washington was the outcome Of ride
