Prof Albert Kuenzlen Of svracuse NJ
Y, has lately come into possession Of a
valuable Cremona violin, made by Peter
Guarnerius, in 1873, which is said to be
worth $500. Prof. Kuenzlen, on a recent
visit to New York, stumbled upon an old
Italian artist and musician who had come
TO this country in the vain hope of making
a fortune. The old man was nearly penni-
Iess ana pesought Prof. Kuenzien to buy
an old violin which he carried in a black
leather case under his arm. The professor
examined the instrument and was aware
from ITS appearance that if it was not a
genuine Guarnerius, as the Inscription in
dleated, II was at east a violin Of great
age and excellent tone and purchased it
OF the old man for a tri1ing sum.

WOMEN or TO-DAY.


t !. y 81 i
nrAin Cultivation Has Pushed Charm Of
Manner Into the background
Has the woman of to-day the charm
Of the woman of century ago? Has
her boosted education lessened or in
creased that charm?
We all agree that at the present
period woman is more companionable
to man, taking her in the sense of q
comrade. than her ancestress of one
hundred years back; that, intellectual
", a man acknowledges her his equal,
and last Of all treats her as such, yield
ing her ungrudgingly place in business
and professions. all of which tends tc
make her self-confident and self-reli
ant, but doss it increase her charm?
There is danger ahead for the Ameri
can woman. In her eager desire to
stand side by side with man she is be
coming aggressively self-confdent, and
unless she watches herself there is r.sk
of becoming too clever, of becoming
stilted, dogmatic in the expression o.
her opinion--in word. unnatural, and
that way ruin lies.
A clever man of the world not long
ago was heard to say apropos Of this
subject: tThe most charming and de
lightful thing in the world, but re-
greet to say the rarest, is thoroughly
natural woman" A sllrewd comment.
The woman of to-day cultivates her
mind to such an extent that she is self
conscious; she loses the charm of sim.
plicity of speech and manner. The
former is stilted, the latter aggressive.
She has won reputation for clever
ness, and she strives 70 maintain 1t at
all hazards.
In word, in season and out of sea-
son, at home and abroad, she never
ceases to remember that she is a bright
woman.
1t has been happily said of French
woman whose gracious charm is pro-
verbal that she is clever enough TO
conceal her cleverpsss from man. Not
80 the American woman, who parades
the fact untiringly in the face of the
world.
A woman Of this character is never
alarming, and we all know that one
Nho possesses that gift sways more
hearts, and, better still, retains them
longer than a woman of twice her wit
ard of even greater beauty. We hear
much of beautiful women and we have
all experienced that sense of disap.
