Swimming, says the New York Sun. as
a means Of recreation and healthful ex-
ercise, is growing more popular among
women every year All Queen Nictoria's
daughters learned to swim when very
young, and the daughters Of the Princess
of Wales are all good swimmers. The
Empress of Austria and the Austrian
Processes are good swimmers, and the
Queen Regent Of Spain is an expert swim
mer.
At the moment says the Pan Mall Ga
Zette, IL seems certain that color is of. "
fiat has gone forth TO the effect that
the eXquisitely subtle shades approved
by the omnipotent powers who arrange
such matters demand skins OF cream un-
mingled with rose, or at any rate with
any color deeper than the heart Of an
opening blush-rose bud 1t IS generally
safe to accept the statement that IN sum

a fear that a fatal increase Of red might
accrue beneath the too pressing atten-
tons of King Sol; but this season it has
come to be regarded as little short of a
crime to walk abroad with cheeks clad
in the flame of peoples or blood-red roses
complexion of pure cream, with faintest

Inns of LIQUID crimsOu-these are ordained
adornments for ordinary wear but IN
each individual case hundred and one
variations will be found necessary, for
many Of the newest vellings demand a
perCeptible amount of rouge, and OF
course, for special occasions 1t may be
found expedient TO add or take from
the general ingredients mentioned.
While it would OF course, be unfair to
suppose that all, or even the greater por-
ton of those women who elect to lead
a life Of single blessedness are men-haters,
still there are some to whom that designa-
ton fully applies. There is a lady, says
the Boston Traveller residing In an east
ern state town well known for her pro
nounced views regarding the sterner sex.
Man.f she knows tits not allowed, direct
ly or indirectly, to contribute to her
wants in life. Males are strictly forbidden
the house. and the lady declines to have
any dealings with business carried on by
men.
Her baker, grocer, dairy dealer and milk
dealer all are women, and it is said that
meat has been entirely obliterated from
the establishment dietary, simply because
there is not female butcher TO be found
In the neighbOrhood. Though decidedly be-
neVolent in disposition, charitable societies
depending on male collectors get no sub
scriptions and the only way the tax col
lector can make sure OF his money Is by
sending his wife for them.
Another abominator of men has ac-
quired a terrace of houses, with designs
upon obtaining the whole street, with the
object Of founding colony of women oc-
cupiers. These tenements are, of course,
only let to females, and any tenant in
a moment Of weakness entertaining
thoughts OF entering the marriage state
IS promptly served with a notice to quit.
The colony OF women suffraglsts who
have a quiet summer house on Cape Cod
do not 20 to these extremes, but are con-
tent to exclude male callers whether they
are relatives or not.
A Chicago woman not long since display
ed her adherence of the opposite sex by
refusing to accept legacy left her by a
male connection. Another who was her
self rich, executed a will by which at her
DEATH substantial requests were left to
her female relatives, while the males in
herited the Daltry sum Of a dollar each.
A third left a sum of money at her de-
cease to be expended in founding and en-
downing a home for women who had at
tanned a certain age without marrying
There Is reported to be, In one Of the
western states a society Of women sworn
to renounce the comDanlonshlp Of man
for life Each member registers a vow ia
r. -aain single all her days, but the regu-
lations Of the league do not require it's adj
herents to withdraw from the other re-
sponsibilities of the world. A member Is
free to have a father. to own a brother. o.
