Making Jokes for % Living.

One by one the traditions handed
down by the descendants of Adam are
being disproved by the 'up-to-date"
granddaughter of Eve.
One of the last to disappear relates
to woman's lack of humor. But even
that, it seems, has been shattered eff
fectually by mere slip of girl.
She is Miss Annie Partlan of New
York, and her success as II joke writer
is almost beyond belief. There is
scarcely a studio of any prominence in
New York that does not count Miss
Partlan among its frequent visitors.
Her name is well known to all the
editors of the comic weeklies, and she
bravely holds her own with competi-
tors of the opposite sex, although
some have been in the business for
years.
Miss Partlan came to New York city
from Kingston some five years ago,
and has since fought bravely to achieve
the success she now has.
She is of Irish extraction and the
proverbial wit of her native land has
certainly not sighted her. Her jokes
are full of originality, and those touch
ing society and social questions are
particularly piquant. In appearance
she is extremely modest, with charm
ing friendliness of manner, and is not
in the least the ''new woman, 'as each
gesture and accent is distinctly femi-
nine.
When asked how she thought of
adopting so unusual q calling, she
said: "It came quite naturally to me.
I have written since was a child. OF
course 1 never thought of selling my
stuff to the artists until about year
ago. The first joke was suggested by
my seeing little hoy brushing flies
off horse in a blacksmith shop. I
gave it to the editor of Kingston
paper, who published it and several
others which wrote afterward.
"When / finally decided to become
professional joke writer, the first
thing had to learn was that puns
were no longer in vogue, fact which
caused me to I'LL waste basket.
get from 81 to 80 for each joke, aud

A Royal Maid of Honor.

1t is a great distinction to be chosen
as one of Queen Victoria's maids of
honor, but it entails obligations. The
position is strictly one of birth, for
the maid must be either the daughter
or granddaughter of peer. When
appointed the maids receive the title
of honorable, which they retain
through life.
Each maid of honor has three
months of waiting every year. and |
often her young friends are apt to re-
gard her as being very fortunate in 4
receiving $500 month for her actual
time Of waiting. But it is quite mis-
take to suppose that the duties are
trifing or that the post is in any sense
a sinecure. Nothing save severe ILL
ness can allow maid of honor alter
ing or postponing her term of wait
ing. She has to be literally at the
beck and call of her royal mistress,
and though no objection is made to
each young lady bringing with her "a
pet-at the present moment the Hon.
Miss Cadogan possesses one of the
most valuable dogs in the world--eveD
the permission to receive call from a
friend or relation must be asked and
obtained before maid of honor can
be sat home" to any of her acquaint-
ances.
Only two maids Of honor are in
waiting at time. They each have

sitting room, and it is there that they

time when not actually with their royal
mistress. The maids working day
may he said to begin at IL, for, as
soon as her majesty has dismissed her
private secretary, she sends for one of
her maids of honor to read to her
selections from the morning papers.
Then comes n drive, during which the
queen is generally accompanied by
the other maid. Luncheon is gener-
ally taken with the household, all
though occasionally one of the two
young ladies will be asked to join the
royal party. Unless she actually
knows that her majesty is out driving
or, as occasionally happens when the
court is at Balmoral, away for long
expedition likely to occupy many
hours, the maid of honor must on no
account absent herself from the castle,
for fear her presence should be re-
quired. The most fatiguing point
about maid of honor's work is that
she never sits down except when spe-
cially asked to do so by her royal mis-
tress.
Till comparatively lately each maid
of honor received at her marriage a
wedding gift of $4,000 from her royal
mistress, but this, oddly enough, end
ed by causing considerable inconven-
ience to the queen. She found that
no sooner was a maid of honor ap-
pointed than she Immediately an
nounced her engagement, and, ac-
cordingly, the rule was made that this
much-coveted dowry should not he
given unless the prospective bride has
held her appointment for certain

Popularity OF the Velvet Gown.

Every woman who can afford it is
investing in velvet gown for evening
wear this winter. Age is a matter of
entire Indifference in the wearing of
this style of toilet, and the debutante
of 20 wears it indiscriminately with
the dowager of 60. OF course, the
material is a specially favored one
with those very youthful married
women who desire to look "matronly."
This is a desire, by the way, that does
not last long, for the bride of 20

seems to be particularly popular at
present for velvets is that warm red
violet hue that shades into such
exquisite tints when the light strikes
it. This color velvet, trimmed mar
rowly about the square decolletage
and around the edge of long train
with chinchila, is perfectly exquisite.

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND EYEsIoHT.
Gray and Blue Eyes Are Most succepti-
BILE to Injurious Eject.

Gray and Blue Eyes Are Most succepti-
BILE to Injurious Effect.
One effect of the advent of the x
ray has been to direct closer attention
to the influence Of the electric light
on the eyesight. It has recently been
stated, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
that sailors suffer much in their cye-
sight from the brilliant electric lights
used on shipboard. Gray and blue
eyes are the most subject to injury,
not being heavily charged with pig
ments. The men who work the search
lights already wear dark blue glasses,
but it is found that these only miti-
gate the intensity of the light, and do
not absorb the source Of the trouble,
the ultra violet rays. These rays,
however. can be intercepted by gog-
giles or screens of uranium or yellow
glass, and with these, it is understood,
the sailors Of the French navy are soon
to be provided.
Another interesting case bearing on
this subject is reported from a British
warship. II seems that two stokers
on the ship, having q little spare time,
became engrossed in the operation of
an electric drill, which was burning
out holes in hardened steel plate.
Both men declared they only watched
the arc for about three minutes. and at
the time felt no i'll effects, except that all
objects appeared to be of deep gold
color. At night, however, both men
were aroused by intense pain and par
tial blindness for the time being, but
both recovered quickly after treatment.
The electric drill acts by fusing hole
through the steel, and the intensity Of
the light is greatly increased by the
rays of light thrown off by the molten
metal. The fact, too, that the work
is carried on chiefly in the daylight is
apt to deceive the casual onlooker as
to the degree of brilliancy of the light,
and it is not until the after effects be-
gin to assert themselves that he is
aware of anything out of the common.
Dark glasses are now used by all the
men on the electric drilling shifts. A
singular feature of this affection is that
it is analogous to snow or desert blind
ness, and, rs in them, the pernicious
effects of the electric light are proba-
bly, due to the ultra violet rays of the
spectrum

versmiths to his imperial majesty and

cutting for the shah an imperial sword,
designs of which have been approved.
The blade is double-eged, of the finest
steel, inlaid with gold. The weapon
has a broad flute down the centre and
is of scimiter shape, terminating in a
fine point or cliff. The scabbard is of
royal scarlet Persian leather, with
mountings in gold filigree, while the
hilt is of ivory, inlaid with gold ara
