1t is not only the children, says the
New York Tribune, who postpone their
reformation until some special occasion,

Will begin; and the commencement of
| the New Year is the favorite epoch for
such resolutions, which rarely stand the
test. OF even a months temptations, a
lapse which brings all the discourage
ment of special failure. While, there
fore, the practice of making good reso-
lutions on New Years day is an excel
lent one as far as it goes, it is almost
pity to encourage young people TO at
tach special significance to any partic-
ular period. Moral growth must neces-
sarily be marked almost as much by
failure as success, climbing and falling,
and climbing. again, until finally some
particular hill difficulty is crossed only
TO be confronted by the seemingly inter-
minable range that separates us from
the wished-for land OF Beulah. 1t is for
this reason that constant, rather than
special, effort should be taught to young
people who are as prone to discoura ge-
ment as they are to hopefulness.
Nevertheless, the feeling of consigning
the last year with its faults and mistakes
to oblivion and beginning afresh is a
stimulating one-even to the "enfant ter
rible," who, after a dire failure the day
after New Years, announced to the fam
! lily that he intended waiting until the
next New Years day to begin again.
1t is an open secret, says the New York
Press that women of rank in many for
! eigns countries smoke cigarettes. Princess
Elalu, it will be remembered thought
| 1t not amiss to pun a dainty cigarette
after dinner. London club women of
the swell set have taken it up. Now the
! rumor is that fashionable women in New
! York have complete smoking sets in their
| ''dens' or Turkish boudoir But as yet
| this species of dissipation has not become
| general among the smart set of New
York, or if it has it is individualzed, and
each woman keeps her daring to her
SELF or TO her most intimate circle of
| friends.
| A laborious genealogist, says the Gen
! tleWoman, announces, as the result of
! years OF minute labor, that the queen has
had nine children, of whom she has lost
! two: forty-one grandchildren. of whom
eight have died; and twenty-three great
! grandchildren, all of whom are living.
She has, therefore, sixty-three descend
! ants living-seYen, children, thirty-three
grandchildren, and twenty-three of the
next generation. Her next eldest great
! grandchild, the Princess Feodore of Sake
| Meiningen, is now nearly II, so that in all
/ probability her majesty will live to see
! her grandchildren grandchildren. Few
English sovereigns before Queen Victo-
| ria have seen grandchildren grow out of
! infancy; and none ever saw a great
| grandchild. Hence, her majesty had to
! determine the question of presidency in
| the case of the Duchess of Flies children,
| and she wisely decided that they should
| rank only as daughters of duke.
This decision was in accordance with a
| house-law, decreed earlier in the reign,
| by which the title of prince and royal
! sovereign, and the children of the SOW
| eregn's sons, the children of the sover-
! eign's daughter taking precedence only
| according to the rank of their fathers.
| Thus the Princess Helena's children rank
| as children of the Prince Christian only,
| while the Duke of -Connaught's are royal

naught as an ordinary duke, TAX

of Hanover.
A reputation, says the New York Tri-
] bune for saying the right thing to every
] placent tactician into saying very mala-
] propos things, indeed, especially if
! through absence from the world they have
! become more or less out Of touch with
| people and events. Mrs. X, an old-time
| entertainer, who all her life had been
! greatly fiattered for her gracious and
! Charming manners, returned to New York
! lately, after several years residence
! abroad, and plunged at once into the vor-
! tex of society.
aiAnd where is you dear husband?" she
! said to one of her quondam acquaintances
| whose marital troubles had been food for
| gossip for some time, and who was on the
! eve of getting her divorce. Il have not
