Now that Lent is over, the Creole girls
IN New Orleans are looking for answers
to their prayers. For during Lent the
Creole. girl INDUCES in the matrimonial
neuvalne. This means a nine-day pc
Rod of fasting and prayer for some spe-
cial object. The special object is gen
orally a good husband. The Creole girl,
like her relative the French girl, does
not like to remain unmarried. She wants
a husband, and she wants one openly
see the Creole girls in New Orleans pray
ing at the shrine of st. Joseph during
Lent. st. Joseph, for some reason, is
supposed to have a powerful pull. There
are little images of st. Joseph moulded
in lead for sale in New Orleans at 8
images around with them. They tell a
story of one who had carried her little
leaden st. Joseph until both he and
her patience were almost worn out. Dis
gusted, she took her saint and threw
him out of the window. A young man
st. Joseph alighted at his feet. Dear
me!' he said, picking it up, ''now some
poor girl has lost her St. Joseph, We'll.
I'll just take it back to her. So he rang
the bell, and was ushered in by the
young person who had just thrown her
st. Joseph away Result: case Of
love at first sight. Further result: A
marriage. After that, who could disbe-
lieve in the power Of st. Joe ?-Argonaut.

People unfamiliar with France may
not know how intense is the respect still
felt for the old nobility. They may
understand how deep it is when we say
that the consent of the Duke of Charities
to the marriage of his daughter to Duke
Patrick, son of the ager-Duchess OF
Magenta and widow OF Marshal Mac
oil Epon at
Marshal MacMahon was brave soldier,
of good family, and his wife was Of an
old French noble family. Still they
were parvenu, because they were of the
nobility of the Third empire. His title
of duke was conferred upon MacMahon
by Napoleon the Third. The entire Mac
Mahon family was overcome with the
honor conferred upon them by a daughter
of the house of Orleans marrying one Of
their sons.
A New York weekly says that the young
men in the Waldorf cafe of an after
noon are not the same as those who used
to frequent Delmonico's. The old crowd
in Delmonicos was made up largely OF
stockholders, and the entire talk was
about stocks. In fact, many man who
is not a New Yorker has been driven
in sheer WEAKNESS out of that city at
times at the incessant stock-ticker talk
of his New York acquaintance. Now it
seems that the swells in the Waldorf
are idle young men, sons of wealthy
families. who consider it bad form
to know much about stocks or business
lin short, who look upon going down to
Wall street as a swell Londoner looks
upon going ''to the city, They know
ali about horses, theaters, golf, polo and
the leading lights of the footlights, but
they know nothing about stocks.
