literary BIOndcs.

Among the women prominent in the
literary world to-day, it is interesting
to note that many of them are of the
delicate blonde type. Marie Corelli,
whose books sell enormously, and
are translated into nearly n dozen Ian
guages, including Arabic and Hindu
stance. il distinctly petite, with n
fragile figure and mass of curling,
reddish gold hair, under which large,
dark blue eyes look questioningly
She was born in Italy, but was adopt
ed i'll early childhood by London
physician, the father of Eric Mackay,
the poet who, like Byron, "awoke and
found himself famous" on the publica-
ton of his volume of sonnets -"The
Love Letter of Violinist'
gives him high rank among the young
er Victorian poets. Corelli lavislles
unbounded admiration upon his work,
and frequently quotes his poems in
her novels. In the Romance of Two
Worlds" she has made copious extracts,
with warmest Mandatory comments,
from the "Love Letters" 1.-The Ro-
nance of Two Worlds" by the way,
has the distinction of causing her
most gracious majesty, Queen Victoria,
to forego part of nights repose, for
her royal highness refused to go TO
bed until the last chapter was finished
Mt o'clock i'll the morning One of
Marie Corelli's eccentricities is dis
like of being photographed, and an
other is determination not to marry
"A decision which good many men
have vainly sought to change. She
has made fortune by her writings,
so can afford to be independent.
Frances Hodgson Burnett is also n
blonde. In one family of her friends
she is called by the caressing pet name
of Fluffy" She is delicate in color
ing and has n mobile face, rather seri-
Gus in repose, but lighting up into
charming humorousness of expression
when among intimate friends.
Mary f.. Wilkins is another blonde,
small in stature and with face whose
earnestness recalls her own New Eng
land Nun" One day at Miss Louise
Chandler Moulton's-one of her ia
nous Fridays-in group which in
cluded several noted people, among
them Miss wilkins, Julia Marlowe and
Oscar Fay Adams, the conversation
drifted into Renaissance, and, with II
good deal of laughter, confessions
were made of childish sins. Miss
Wilkins related her one fnlGehood with
n smile, it is true, but in way which
clearly showed the sensitive conscious
ness of her nature. Once, when very
small, she strayed into the dining-room
before dinner, and climbing up to the
table distracted few grapes. Her
mother, coming in soon after, noticed
slight disarrangement, and asked the
child if she had taken any grapes.
Hastily the little one answered, "No,
mamma" and the matter dropped.
All the afternoon, however, the false
hood sat heavily ON the child's con
science, until in the twilight she
threw her curly golden head upon her
mothers lap aud sobDed her .confes-
sion.

The CcstIicst Materials Ever Woven

The CCstlicst Materials Ever Woven.
One of the most beautiful and with
out doubt the costliest materials ever
woven in Lyons, France, is n magnifi.
cent and unique brocade manufac-
tured for the German Empress. The
ground Is silverY white silk, and the
highly raised design consists of bold
sprays Of flowers and foliage, among
which bright plumaged birds disport
themselves. Every petal, leaf or fea.
Their is perfect, and the whole stands
out IN such strong relief that at dis
lance the effect is AS though the pat
tern was laid lightly upon the silk be-
meath.
One weaver alone was capable of
producing this masterpiece, and it
took him many long months to com
plete piece of sufficient length for n
gown. The wages he received, in nd
dltlon to his ordinary pay, were mt the
rate OF $50 per yard, the eventual
price OF the brocade being $l20 per
yard. The stuff haa been speciallv
ordered for-h Etate gown for the en-
rffess, but when her majesty beheld it
she instantly exclaimed that it was far
too beautiful to cut up, and gave the
command that curtains be made of il
instead of utilizing it for the purpose
originally intended. Up to that date
the most expensive material on record
was the cloth of gold bought by Louis
AlN. for n dressing gown, which cost,
according to modern reckoning, the
respectable sum of 1888 per metre,

Around the Camp Fire.

Now that sheet iron stoves are
part OF camping outfits, cooking out
of-doors under shed bark roofs is done
away with, and there is not so often
an open fire as in the old days. The
flicker and crack of green birch which
use to soothe the weary camper to
sleep is replaced by the chink and snap
OF dry wood in stove. After dark,
though, city tourists usually have the
guides put up heap of wood and set
1t blazing, just to see the shadows
chase each other. The innovations of
late years have not pleased the old
timer. A skillet, pail, bread, pork,
tea-these, to him, are the essentials
OF woodland life, and in the box camp
OF friend, with its glass windows and
china dishes, its sheets and clean pill
low cases, bemourns the bed OF balsam
boughs and thick blankets, the log pill
low and open front, where, through
the smoke of the fire, the tree trunks
could be seen. There are three kinds
OF camp fires now: The fire in the
sheet iron stove, the fire built far
enough from the wooden camp to be
safe, and the old-style fire of sapling
blrches, cut into six-foot lengths and
piled lengthwise before the back logs
OF two-foot birch and fired Mt the cen
ter with dry spruce branch blaze
The fire burns the sapling in two and
the ends are pushed into the Goals and
more sticks are laid on. About six
feelings of fine birch saplings are
needed to keep IN October deer hun
ter's CAMP warm one night if there is
only one blanket to a man, the man

The senior member Of the firm lwho

New York looked much better on the

The beauty and value of flower
