4 Witty Dame.

At a meeting of the Daughters of the
American Revolution held in New York not
long since Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, the dis
trict attorney, told the following interest
ing and hitherto unpublished story of how
the beautiful Mrs Ashe of Charleston, wit
lilly answered an unwise remark of Lieut..
Col Banastre Tarleton, of the British
army.
1T was shortly after the battle of the
Cowpens. at which Tarleton's famous Brit
ish legion had been practically destroyed
and most of its officers and men either kill
ed or captured. Tarleton. himself had been
closely pursued by Lieut.. Col. William
Washington of the American cavalry, who
got so near that he struck at Tarleton with
his saber and slightly wounded his bride
hand; but thanks to the ieetness of the
horse he rode, the British officer managed
TO make good his escape. AT a reception
given in Charleston at which the beautiful
Mrs. Ashe' was present, and, as usual, the

CHESTNUT PARTIES.
4 New Idea for ~ Successful Even
inr'S Entcrtainment.

Chestnut parties are in great vogue in
England just now. ara larc rapidly win
ming popularity for themselves in this
country. The idea is so simple, yet enter
tanning, that one Of these parties Is sure
to register success.
An open fire and circle of friendly folk
to roast the glossy nut'. constitute the nee
essary clements. Ea"h guest is in duty
hound for the cnterta. lment OF the assem-
blcd company to tell the stalest story or
recte the most hacl eyed verses in so
fresh and charming q manner as to gain
votes of approval.
The successive places of the narrators
round the fire are de ermined in the fol-
lowing novel manner:
Upon n table i'll front of the company
stands a large tray with unroasted ch St
nuts upon it, from the edge of the t-ay
hang different colCred ribbons, one for
each guest, one end hanging down, the
other hidden under the pile of chestnuts
The hidden ends are numbered in success
sion, and each guest draws Il ribbon from
under the nuts. the number thereon de-
termining his or her turn to recite theig
particular Chestnut story"
The pausos. if any, are filed By music
Of the softer kind. Just now the ilaado-
lin seems to be u great favor!te in En-
glish society.
Later and Just before supper there Is
usually n very lively debate as to whoss
story or poem was the most antique, the
fortunate one receiving some pretty tr ile
as a souvenir and prize of the occasion
with the date. name of host ana hostess
and guests upon it.

A JAMAICA SPIDER.

nOOk.

He Is the Hero of MISS Smiths New
DOok.
An American, Bontet de Monvel, a wo-
man with as keen an appreciation of ne
gro folk lore as Joel Chandler Harris, is
quaint little American woman who claims
the authorship of one of the cleverest books
of the day. Miss Pamela Coleman Smith
talks of the "Annancy Stories-Folk Tales
of jamaica" with keen interest.
II am an American" she insisted,
though I was born in London, and have
lived most of my life in Jamaica, and all
the art training l have got at the Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn"
She had a three years course there. and
then with the most amazing industry,
prompted by strong deep love of her art,
she began TO work at art as a profession
Perhaps one OF her first most successful
endeavors was done only for fun, and it
consisted Of the building and peopling OF
one OF the compietest miniature theatres
ever seen. The stage measures scarcely
more than eighteen inches square, but its
accompaniment of scenes, actors and cos
tunes is so perfect and luxurious that any
manager might look on enyiously. Three
hundred gorgeously costumed characters
will appear in single play for the dramas
Miss Smith writes herself, and as she pre-
fers tragedies and comedies the scenes OF
which are all laid in past centuries, the
bumblest pasteboard supe is in attitude,
expression and dress q finished little pict-
ure. BY the simplest mechanism the fig
ures are made TO move about, daintily

lures.
With the most astonishing invention,
imagination and humor she has pictured
a series of strange, alluring little I~2ple,
who cannot fail to win the childish heart,
and at the same time delight appreciative
grown folks. Indeed IL is very safe to say
that Annancy and his capers will become
as familiar with nursery folk as Uncle Re
mus, or Mougli and his friends. And all
this is the work of mere girl!
From illustrating her book of Jamaica
stories. Miss Smith next fell upon a collec-
tion of old English and Scotch ballads. and
it is here that the likeness of her genius to
that of Walter Crane is apparent. What
ever is quaint and old worldish seems to
find in her a natural affinity.
Il never look up a costume, and yet
seem to know exactly what every character
should wear she explained when some
one inquired where she had found her
quaint suits and dresses. From the bal
lads her quick fancy next found limitless
field in Shakespeare, and her second book
is a Shahespearean alphabet made up OF
full-page illustrations OF characters whose
names run from A TO q. accompanied by
their most brilliant sayings. Here, as in
the first book. is the same lively imagna-
tion. love of striking but always essential
ly decorative color effects and the unfal-
tering innate knowledge OF costume.
Miss Smith is an American girl to be
proud of and one whose future can be reck
oned on as surely as love of industry
and her art and very great deal OF talent
and ambition can guarantee IT,

is very often plain Mr.. Moulton. and at
such times, so democratic is the gentleman,
one would not hesitate to ask Mr.. Moulton
for a match or the time of day.
The Prince of Wales is an expert shoe
maker, a handicraft he chose to learn when
a boy, being obliged by his royal parents
10 learn some trade. He has even worn
shoes of his own make. King Humbert OF
Italy is also a royal cobbler.
Princess Victoria of Wales travels incog-
nio as Miss Mills, and once upon time
was Il guest for many days at a house
party under this name-her identity not
being revealed to the other guests until
after her departure.
Elizabeth Nicholson was the alias of the
late Empress of Austria.

Here Arc Charms for Curious Maids
to Try.
Upon st. Agnes eve, on January 81, let
every maid fail not to try magic spell.
If supperless to bed you go. nor look
behind, nor sideways, then will St. Agnes
dreams be the sweetest of the year.
There are other signs and portents which
may help to make festive evening for a
merry party. Nut-shaiging is one of the
mystical arts. Probably the Christmas
tree of evergreen has not yet been aban-
doned. Hang upon its branches quanti-
ty of nuts of various kinds-put on in such
a way that they may be shaken OFF very
easily.
When the proper hour arrives for the
nut shaking. each damsel in turn stands
beneath the tree. and while one OF the par
ty gives il a gentle shake, she holds out her
arms TO catch all the nuts which fall. The
charmed number seven rules the evening.
So the girl who catches seven nuts, or any
larger number, which is multiple of sew
en-, is considered most fortunate-mar
riage, riches and honor being foretold.
If only two nuts are caught, an early
marriage is signified, CT double nut an
swers the same purpose. Three nuts mean
legacy; four indicate great wealth; five
voyage across the sea- SIX, fame as an
artist, author or musician; seven, the pos
session OF the gift most desired by the
finder.
a line of prophecy-similar to old-fash-
ioncd mottoes-may be written and wrap
ped about each nut before it is hung upon
the tree
If number of English walnuts have
been included among the nuts when they
are opened the shells may have tiny can
dies put in each. and then they are started
| out upon voyage in u tub of water. Each
boat or shell is named as the candle is
| lighted and set adrift. The boats that sail
together will be partners for life a PEN
ny should be dropped in one side of the
tub and a ring in the other The boat that
| drifts toward the ring Will marry for love;

There is nothing like painting portraits

young artist as she made n feint of thrust

And look" she continued ruefully, pro-

have given me for my guidance! Here is
a picture of his mother. for instance; they
say the Judge had his mothers eyes-al-
though hers were large and dark, ard his
were light and small-and the likeness

Anne Green insists that the judge had a

ROYAL LIKES AND DIsLIKES.
Queen Victoria. Especially. Is De-
cided in Her Tastes.


Queen Victoria dislikes cold meat, suede
gloves, artificial flowers and the odor Of
furs.
Her alias, when she finds II advisable
to use an incognto. is either the Countess
of Balmoral or the Duchess of Lancaster
the latter is one of her numerous titles.
When members of the Queens family or
any German relatives visit London and
occupy Buckingham Palace, by invita-
tion," they pay their board just like COM
mon folks in first class hotel.
Queens bounty costs Victoria on an
| average $500 a year. The Queen. when
she sent three sovereigns to a mother who
had given birth to three children, forty
years ago, probably did not foresee to
what vital dimensions the bounty" would
grow.
Her majesty was recently presented with
800 by an Indian chief of British Colum-
| bia, doubtless as a thank Offering for the
| $1,000 he recently received ror the $4,000
fish he had caught and sold. The Queen
| acknowledged the gift by letter. accom-
panied by an engraving of herself and two
| pleats of sleeps wool.
There is said 10 be only one man who
! has ever dared to make a joke in the
| presence of the Queen of England. This
was Canon Shore. an Irishman. and
| one time tutor in the royal family. Dis
| Cussing the infidelity and heretoxody of
| shoemakers as class, he sad, 'ons could
hardly expect shoemaker to believe in
| the immortality of the SOLE (souD. Her
majesty enjoyed the joke and laughed
| heartily over it.
The Queen is the possessor of one OF
| the best-toned pianos in the world-it is
a magnificent Georgiana. made o. Am
| boyna wood. There are in all sixty pianos
| liz her various palaces
| According to q panegyric OF woman
| kind, delivered recently by the Bishop OF
London, England owes more to her
| queens than to her kings. The three
names most famous in English royal his
