There are thousands of daughters of
well-to-do mothers in this country who are
brought up on the old aristocratic theory
that a woman should study moderately
hard until she is 49, then look as pretty as
she can and devote herself until she is
married to having what is called on this
side ofthe Atlantic a good time, writes
Robert Grant in Scribner's. To be sure
in France the good time does not come
until after marriage, and there are other
differences, but the wellbred lady of social
graces is the wellbred lady, whether it be
in London, Paris, Vienna or New York.
and a ballroom in one capital is essen
TALLY the same as in all the others, unless
it be that over there the very young people
are allowed to crowd out everybody else.
There are thousands of mothers who are
content that this should be the limit of
their daughters experience, a reasonably
good education and perfect manners, four
years of whirl and then husband. or no
husband and a conservative afternoon tea
drinking spinsterhood-and they are
thankful on the whole when their girls
put their necks meekly beneath the yoke
of convention and do as past generations
of women all over the civilized world have
done.
The reign of the unconventional society
young woman is over. She shocks now her
own countrywomen even more than for
eigners; and though, like the buffalo, she
is still extant, she is disappearing even
more rapidly than that illustrious quad
ruped.

Gather the roses in the early morning as

only the most fragrant varieties. A large
quantity of roses or of rose leaves dwin-

leaves, be it remembered
Given a peck of roses, pick Off the leaves
and sprinkle over them three-quarters of
a pound Of salt. Let them remain two
or three days. and If fresh leaves are
added each day sprinkle additional salt
over them.
At the end of three days mix with the
cured rose leaves half a pound of finely
pounded bay salt, the same quantity Of
allspice, cloves and brown sugar, a quar-
ter of a pound Of gum benzoin and two
ounces of orris root.
Add one gill Of brandy and any sort Of
fragrant flowers, such as orange and
lemon flowers, lavender and lemon scent

The mixture should be occasionally

Unknown Parties.

Ellicott City is in ferment of excite
ment over the recent outrage perpe-
trated in that town. One of her bes.
known business men was assaulted
and killed in his store. by parties un-
known. last Tuesday evening. Mr..
Daniel +. Shea was the victim. He
had been missing since the evening be-
fore, when be was last seen closing his
place Of business for the day. The
body WAS only discovered Wednesday
night at $50 o'clock. No direct clue i
held by the authorities aud the theory
advanced, that it was the work of a
stranger in the town, is not held AS
gospel by all the people. The Object
was evidently rbbery, as the dead
mans pockets were entirely rifed:
the murderers leaving traces of bloody
fingers everywhere. Detectives are on
the case, and should the guilty party
or parties be discovered, little mercy
