Mrs. BuZZellS mouse, and 1t required
the united strength of the conductor
and brakeman to restrain him until the
train stopped at Clinton village.
So far, the woman has driven away
all suitors and has answered no letters.
She secured a divorce from her last
husband only three months ago, and
AYERS that she isn't ready to try matri-
mony again just at present.
SIMPLICITY THE BEST TASTE.
If women would only remember that
it is more the way the clothes are
worn than the clothes themselves,
there would be less rushing after silly
novelties, and more dependence put in
a simple attire.
After all, it is the simple things
which are the handsomest, and the most
difficult to manage.
For instance, a hat of French eXtrac-
ton, bearing the magical price, "S35. )"
has an odd, tip-tilted shape of soft,
purple straw; the brim, instead of be-
ing straight, turns up broadly on top,
and is caught fatty in place. Around
the crown is an exquisite arrangement
of gauze in creamy white, shirred as
closely as possible, looking like moth
ing so much as thick band of silky
rose petals placed close together. This
band, or scarf, encircles the crown.
resting softly on the brim, finishing at
the back. where the hat is turned up,
under a bunch of snowy white narcls-
sus and mignonette, from which arise
clusters of floating white coque feath-
ers. The hat is exceedingly simple,
but is surprisingly lovely, and would
be very difficult to copy and secure the
same perfect effect.
A simple but fetching gown is tailor
made, in steel gray covert cloth, lined
with emerald green taffeta throughout.
The narrow skirt has all its seams
strapped, and its fullness brought INTO
an inch wide space at the center OF the
back.
The small little coat is exceedingly
short, and charmingly cut, IN Eton
STYLE. reaching quite over the belt, and
finished simply with rolling collar
faced with steel gray MORE. There are
small sleeves with a tiny fare at the
wrists, showing a glimpse of the green
lining.
This is worn over shirt waist OF
ivory white taffeta, fastened down the
front with small gold buttons, while a
large gold buckle fastens the broad
belt of steel gray patent leather. A
linen collar and tie of Roman silk are
the finishing touches.
VICTORIA AND THE QUEEN OF
SONG.
The newspapers and periodicals are
now overlooking with anecdotes OF
Queen Victoria, and one of the most
characteristic and pleasing may be
given here. 1t concerned the Queen OF
Great Britain and Ireland, Victoria, and
the queen of lyric song. Jenny Lind.
Il was in 1S4S and Jenny Lind was to
sing at Her Majesty's Theatre. Inc
Queen made her first public appearance
after the memorable chartist day. For
the great artistic, too, this was a flrst
appearance, for it was the beginning
of a season at a place where the year
before she had won unparalleled
fame.
Il happened that the Queen entered
the royal box at the same moment that
the prima donna stepped upon the
stage. Instantly a tumult OF acclama-
tion burst from every corner of the
theatre. Jenny Lind modestly retired
TO the back Of the stage, waiting till
the demonstration of loyalty to the
sovereign should subside.
The Queen, refusing to appropriate
to herself that which she imagined to
be intended for the artistic, made no
Acknowledgement. The cheering con-
tinued, increased, grew overwhelming.
and still there was no acknowledge
ment from either the stage or the royal
box. At length, when the situation be-
came embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with
ready tact, ran forward to the foot
lights and sang God Save the Queen"
which was caught up at the end OF the
solo by the orchestra, chorus and audi
ence. The Queen then came to the
front of her box and bowed and the
opera was resumed.
MARRIAGEABLE AGE ABROAD.
In Austria a man" and woman"
are supposed to be capable of conduct
ing a home of their own from the age
of fourteen. In Germany the men must
be at least eighteen years of age. In
France the man must be eighteen and
the woman fifteen; in Belgium the
same. In Spain the intended husband
must have passed his fourteenth year
and the woman her twelfth. In Hun
gary. for Roman Catholics, the man
must be fourteen years old and the wo-
