Are Looking For Good Matrimonial Catches-Titles Wanted Usually.
 Under the title Feminine Types fn London" Jesse Francis Sheppard gives in Le Nouvelle Revue an account of l the London barmaids
 They are recruited, 7 he, says. among the bourgeoise as we'll as among the lower classes. Some of the most in- teresting types can be found in the bars or public houses of the west end, close to the fashionable theaters. Among them are very many perfectly respecta- ble girls, who have chosen the career of b barmaid in order to make living and. especially if they are pretty, to get chance to catch rich husband.
 A public house, situated at the angle of one of the principal thoroughfares, is both gilded palace and mine of gold It exercises a strange fascination upon the poor country pumpkins who have l just enough to pay for a drink, but the l dude coming out of a theater, the coun. | try greenhorn, the fashionable snob and the frequenter of the music halls are al- ways to be found there. It is among these that the barmaids hunt for hus- l band. If there is one class of London society more stupid than another, 1t is that one which includes the frequenters of the public houses. With pipe in his mouth and a glass of beer or whisky in front of him the young EngIishman, dressed in fashionable style, with a slight and elegant figure and regular features, remains standing for more than an hour paying pretty little compliments to one or several of these ladies.
 "The barmaid judges her customers oy the cut of their clothes. If you want to attract her attention, you must pre-. handsome cane i'll your hand and suit cut in the latest fashion. The high hat is de rigueur. Without that there is no possible chance of success
 It was not without difficulty that l managed to get an interview with one 1 of these young ladies, whose intelligence was equal to her beauty. At first was astonished at finding so much intelli. genee in an English girl, but learned that she was Irish. and that explained the mystery. Her father was dead and her mother was left without resources. So she was determined to come to Lon- don and look for husband by posing behind bar in Piccadilly.
 "'I was hardly more than three days 1 here, she said with an amiable and roguish air, when understood why it was that so many pretty English girls l don't get husbands. When they are beautiful, they are generally stupid l When they are intelligent. they are colo, masculine and ugly. Englishmen travel great deal and meet in their ramblings through the world very many sprightly women, and they do not care for pretty girls who don't know how to chat with 1 them.
 v But i'll this mixture that comes here to drink and chat, said, how do you distinguish the men of the world from the others?
 T recognize them by three things she said boldly, by their figure, by their clothes and by their complexion. For the most part they are tall and thin, dressed in the latest fashion and have | complexion more or less bronzed. This last trait is the surest sign. Seeing that l ing can be more simple. An English gentleman, if he has fortune, passes three fourths of his time hunting and in other open air exercise. The chaps who remain always in London have paler and more delicate complexion, and, moreover. the expression of their faces is quite different from that of the others.
 Noticing with what attention was listening to her, she continued: The gentlemen that refer to have nothing elegant about them except their clothes, for their conversation lacks novelty. How can man who understands noth' ing but hunting and cricket interest an intelligent woman? The conversation that goes on here i'll the name of wit makes me tired, but these gentlemen are the easiest of all to deceive They ars great big children in everything except sport and politics.
 '.'But you are always engaged, said, and it is difficult to get an oppor. tunity to chat with you. You must al. ready have had several offers of mar riage?
 ..I have been only one month here. and 1 nave already had three. Two were from very rich sportsmen, bu. riches alone won't do for me- What am after, she added, laughing, is title You know, l must have q title
 'sAt this moment the play in one of l the neighboring theaters was over, and the public house was invaded by s Aroxvd of man more or less StvliSh Tho beautiful Irish girl kept herself some- what aloof and only served customers that had the appearance of gentlemen.
 Well. left London. 4 few months Afterward, oS returning there, wanted 10 see once more my beautiful Irish bar. maid. Sine s-s..s gone Another lady was tn her place, and she told me that Miss Clara he'd left tn marry the second son q prominent nobleman,
