OVER THREE SCORE AND 10
Nine. Adele, Who Suggested to MiIIet
The Aneelus."

Barbizon. a little village in the midst
Of the forest of Fontainebleau, short
distance from Paris, has become goal
of pilgrimage for many admirers of
Millet's work, says Edward A. Steiner,
in the Woman's Home Companion, and
particularly for those who know that
the woman who suggested to the great
painter his famous picture of "The
Angelus' still lives there in a little
cottage a stones throw from where
she was born. Mere Adele's home is a
small vine-clad cottage, in which she
lives a frugal but comfortable life,
troubled only by the over-inquisitive
woman once, for even now, although
she has witnessed the passing of more
than three-score years and ten, there
are traces of former beauty in her
wrinkled face.
Mere Adele is a lady though she has
worn her fingers blunt by toll, and her
form is bent under the burdens she
has had to bear. When she looks at
you her smile is like benediction, and
the beautiful things of earth are not
lost upon her.
Her manner is cheerful, as one
who feels she has not lived in vain. If
questioned closely she will tell you of
the day when the great artist came
through the dense forest with his wife
and children, leaving behind him the
gay city of Paris with it's schools of
painting and its methods. She knows
great deal Of the very hard days

USE OF ROUGE,
Tastes Differ as to Proper Method OF
the Application.

There were many modes and degrees
of practicing the questionable art, and
a curious little book exists, written
about a hundred years ago, when pop
ular opinion on the subject was al
ready undergoing modification, by a
lady of distinction who preferred to
remain anonymous, but is vouched for
by the editor as specially entitled by
position and experience to receive a re-
spectful hearing, which, dealing with
the art of costume includes advice on
the proper use of cosmetics. By this
authority white paint, together with
enamel, is Internationally condemned
from the standpoint of morals and
taste alike; while, on the other hand
"a little vegetable rouge" is permitted
for the purpose of "tingeing the cheek
of a delicate woman" SO long as it is
not employed for the purpose Of de-
ception. What need is there, indeed :"
asks the writer, for any concealment
in the matter?" 1T seems to me-" she
continues, so slight and innocent ap-
parel for the face Ia kind of decent
veil thrown over the cheek $3.50
that i cannot see any shame in the
most ingenious female acknowledging
that she occasionally rouges." The one
article of rouge is, however, the single
species of positive art that, according
to this somewhat arbitrary Judge. a
woman of integrity can permit herself
white enamel. painted lips, and PEN
ciiling Of eyebrows only exciting CON
tempt for the bad taste and blindness
which deems them passable."

THE BLACK STONE.
Heirloom of the Hohenzolerns and
Their Curious Superstition.

Heirloom of the HohenzoIlerns and
Their Curious Superstition.
Apropos of the superstitions of the
Hohenzollerns-sup by the
way, found in all ancient royal fam
lilies, including our own-the rulers of
that house possess a talisman brought
into it by a good spirit said to guard
its destinies. This is the curious
black stone" to which is attached
the following quaint tradition:
Since the time of the Elector John
Cicero, who flourished toward the end
of the fifteenth century, each ruler has
been wont, before his death, to hand to
his successor a sealed packet. This
contains a ring, in which is set a black
stone said to have been dropped by
huge toad on the coYerlet of a princess
of the family just as she had given
birth to a son. Frederick the Great
found the ring in a cover, which also
inclosed a memorandum, written by
Frederick l., stating its value and it's
mode of transmission. Schneider, the
librarian of William l., declares that
he saw the packet handed by Ceiling
the treasurer, to his royal master on
his accession, and further asserts that
he read his account of the talisman to
the emperor, who fully confirmed it.
The present emperor never fails to
wear on all great occasions this queer
old ring, and has, like every Hohen-
zollern, the deepest respect for the
quaint little jewel. Frederick the
Greats father had the black stone
mounted as ring and bequeathed it to
his son, who believed firmly in it's value
as talisman, and many of the docu-
ments of that time deposited in the
archives at Berlin make allusion to it.
