But as a matter of fact,H insists this
enterprising Britisher, mature so often
repeats herself in the process of making
her fair women that when l see a pretty
American l have not long to wait before
! can find her almost perfect double across
the water. Perhaps you do not know that
Mrs. Lawrence Tunure, whose maiden
name was Romaine Stone and who was
celebrated beauty in London as well as
New York, is a perfect counterpart of the
celebrated Nine. Recamier, and if you were
to see the Grand Duchess Serge of Russia
and Mrs. Edwin NJ. Post together you
would be surprised at the likeness between
them.
ITO follow this up, I've found that,
though one is blonde and the other dark,
the Princess of Wales and Miss Emily
Hoffman are like enough to have had the
same parents, and the portraits of Queen
Louise of Prussia show an amazing re-
semblance to every contour in the face of
Mrs. John Jacob Astor. Now, at first this
seems rather amazing and / couldn't quite
figure it out but I've come to the conclu-
sion that the mixture of races as eXempH
fed in America is wonderfully fertile in
good looks and it is sad but true enough
that in a single city and generation the
American soil does develop women who,
in feature and coloring, quite rival the fin
est product of luxury and aristocracy not

Here are some statistics suggested by

The following list of men prominent in
English public life, whom Queen Victoria

of her abnormal reign:
All members of the Privy Council who
were alive in 1897.
All the peers who held their titles in
1887, except the Earl of Darnley who was
ten, and Earl Nelson, who was fourteen.
in that year.
All the members who sat in the House
of Commons on her accession to the
throne except the Earl OF Marlborough
and John Temple Leader.
Her Majesty has seen eleven lord chan
cellors, ten prime ministers, six speakers
of the House Of Commons. at least three
bishops of every see, and five or six of
many sees, five Archbishops of Canterbury
and six Archbishops of York, and five com
manders- inc
She has seen five Dukes of Norfolk sue
ceed each other as earl marshals. and has
outliyed every duke and duchess and every
marquis and marchioness who bore that
rank in 1887.
She has outlived every member of the
Jockey Club and every master of the
hounds that flourished in 1897.
She has seen seventeen Presidents of the
United States, ten Viceroys of Canada. fif-

Aesthetic Curl Pnpers.

Woman has at last found way out OF
the difficulty OF making a fright of herself
with curl papers. Doing up ones hair on
retiring has always been a perplexing
problem TO those who esche. hot irons,
for even in the sanctity of isolation one
does not like to feel herself fright
With a due knowledge of feminine ca
price. some enterprising manufacturer has
sent out a curl paper which ties around
the desired curl with dainty bow OF rib
bon, so that when the bank or pompadour
is arranged for the night the head looks as
if surrounded by halo of pretty ribbons
and floating ends.
Half the horrors of fire in an apart
ment house are thus done away with, for
the narrowing sight of curl papers has al
ways added to the other terrors in no
small degree; sleep walking can now be
as graceful as scene from Macbeth"
to say nothing of ones own feeling IN be-
ing well dressed-in curl papers-which is
said to give the crowning touch to wom-
ans self possession. Truly, the manufac-
turer of ribboned curl papers should be
canonized. ii there is any gratitude IN the
feminine breast.

story of studio Tea Hostess md m
Wise Man.

There was studio tea hostess the other
afternoon whose fifteen guests had ex-
hausted even her wall reserve of china.
when who should enter but guest No. 10.
oniuckiiy, the hostess hadn't kept track
OF her teacups. After a few original re-
marks about the weather, she all unwit-
tingly asked the new arrival to have a Gun
OF tea He assented eagerly. Then the
hostess discovered that she was out of
cups; both tea tray and studio walls were
aiike denuded Of them. She counted noses
Ses, there was the entire repertory OF if
teen, each in the hands of a. guest, says the
sun Il feel just like cup of tea this
afternoon, you know" put in the sixteenth
guest, and yours is always so delicious"
The hostess brain reeled What on earth
should she do? Just then she caught sight
or guest No. l5, who had taken a stand be-
lore the mantel. preparatory TO enjoying
the brimming cup of tea in his hand, and
which she had served him with but mo-
ment before. There's no other way said
the hostess to herself, realizing that guest
NO 10, being her best friend in the room,
was most to be imposed upon. But how
shall manage it? 1t is e shame when he
does so like tea. particularly my tea, and
will he understand without my making
this stupid sixteenth man understand,
too?" All this in fash. while the ma
ligned sixteenth man was still expatiating
upon the pleasures of tea.
Then. Jack, said the hostess. looking
guest No. 15 straight in the eye, 'go out
and bring me in a clean cup and saucer,
will you please?" There was an awful
instant OF suspense. Then guest No. Is
departed. and the hostess could only hope
for the best. In an incredibly brief time
he reappeared, bearing an immaculate cup
and saucer that no one. unless she be an
agitated studio hostess, would recognize
as the identical article he had departed
with. At all events guest No. 16 didn't
recognize them, and that was the main
thing. II almost scalded my throat out
accomplishing it," said guest No. 10 later.
and it did seem such a pity to take my
lovely cup OF tea at one gulp that way. but
/ knew it was a case of dire necessity"
What the studio hostess can't get over is
the perspicacity of guest No. Is. Such
penetration on the part of man was re-
markable. Considering how slow most
men are in grasping subtabular telegraphy
as it has been termed-this comprehen-
sion of a mere look was as great an
achievement in social relations as commu-
nication without wires is in the world OF

Old st.Ies Coming Back.

We are returning to the style of 1879.
says the 'Pittsburg Dispatch" a glance
at the fashion plates of that date will show
the elbow sleeves, the open fronts and the
narrow trained skirts, which are with us
now; also the killed lounces which are
coming in. Some of the fabrics Of today,
however, are so beautiful and are orna-
mented with such cOnsummate taste, that
we must perforce be reconciled TO any
fault in their making up. l have in my
minds eye a pink satin low bodice and
tuuic cut in one, covered with white lace
devices let into the fabric. worked with
diamonds and silver, and showing the
faintest blue appertaining to the petit
coat through. The tunic is cut deep and
close fitting, and from beneath come kilt
ed founces of chiffon in which the blue
and the pink assert themselves.
