ABOUT GLOVES.

In buying gloves there are more inn
portant considerations than their color
and the number of the buttons. Black
gloves are generally less elastic than
white or colored ones, and cheap grades
are dear at any price. Dressed kid
usually retains it's freshness longer and
Is more durable than suede. The best
and most serviceable kid is soft, yield
ing and elastic A glove so small that
it cramps the hand and prevents grace
of motion gives poor service. Short
fingered gloves are ugly and certain to
break soon between the fingers, If not
at their tips. The way in which a
glove is first drawn on and shaped TO
the hand has much to do with both
its beauty and durability.
Unless you have ample time do not
have them fitted at the shops, but at
leisure draw them on as here repre-
scented, and, if possible, wear them half
an hour without closing the fingers.
In buttoning a glove the greatest strain
comes upon the first button, so before
attempting to fasten this button the
others, commencing with the second
one, lastly the first.

gers of a gloved hand. Do not begin

THE RESURRECTION OF WOMEN.

In October, 1889, took place one Of
the most dramatic events of the French
revolution, the instruction of women.
Already the discomfort of the nation
was gathering, like a swollen torrent,
growing more destructive at each at
tempt to stop its headlong course. The
popular irritation was ready to flare up
on the slightest provocation, and a
cause was not long in coming. The
regiment of the bodyguard was enter
tanning the Royal Flanders at Ver-
sailles, and during the banquet the
king and queen passed through the hall.
Blondel's song, "Oh, Richard! Oh, Mon
Roll" had just been sung, and the
young officers, excited by wine, music
and the presence of royalty, trampled
on the tricolor and donned the white
Bourbon cockade.
The news of this foolish scene, which
was quickly reported in Paris, out
ragged the feelings of the people, al
ready brought to the verge of starva-
tion by the miserable harvest. The
court could feast while they were faint
for food and hidden by the Minister
Fouillon to eat grass! The court could
mock at the sign of their constitution
and trample it underfoot' The insult
was too great, and the women, always

A MATTER OF STATURE.
DAISY MAY.

1t is an undeniable fact that the ma
jority of men prefer short women to tall
ones. Perhaps this is because they like
to be looked up to-at all events by the
fair sex-and it is only natural for them to
prefer the girl who in her little caress-
ings and fascinating loverlike ways. has
on account of her shortness to look I'D to
him for the purpose of peering into his
lovelit eyes. Tall women are usually dig
nified and appear to scorn kittenish ways
and although they manage TO draw admit
ration it rather of the awe inspiring
kind.
No doubt, owing to the smallness of
stature and pretty, playful ways. men
give to little women more petting than
the tall. dignified woman demands. The
lovers oft-repeated expression, "You lit
tie darling" could hardly be applied to
the very tall girl without tickling the ris-
Utilities of those who overheard it. This
is certainly very hard and looks like a
punishment for being tah, but who can
help her stature? 1t is a fact. too, that
men are rather shy about approaching tall
women because of the restraint which
they feel but cannot explain They are
under the impression-why, ii is hard to
tell-that tall women are built to be COM
element when left alone in their reserved
dignity and musings in their lonely wan
derings.

was between 1870 and 1879 that the for
tune was made. He was supposed to
be worth s4O,00O0OO, but on his death
it was found to amount to not more
than about s15,000,000. From their
mother each of the two girls had re-
ceived about 100000 apiece, so that
the heiress may now be worth about
$10,000,0O0.
The Vanderbilt wealth is estimated
at SIS, 000,0 900.
Miss Fair is about % years old, and
her fiance 20. She, however, does not
look her age and he more than his. She
is not especially beautiful. but pleasant

are her greatest charm. Both her ia

The Vanderbilt wedding will
not be celebrated until young Mr. Van
derbilt completes his studies at Har-
ward, where he is a sophomore. 1t will
doubtless be a very different affair from
the wedding of Miss Fairs sister, which
took place in San Francisco. Then the
Fair sisters were uHeacwn in society
and the name of the socially elect did
not appear on the list of guests. At the
wedding of Miss Virginia the American
aristocracy will appear in all its glory
There is only one thing in regard to
the engagement that is causing COM
ment. This is the fact that Miss Fair
is devout Roman Catholic, while the
Vanderbilts are equally faithful Episco-
palians. 1t is quite out of the question
that young Mr. Vanderbilt with his
millions will change his religion, and
he is said to have very decided opinions
of his own. Although Catholicism is
at present fashionable, his parents are
not likely to encourage him in giving
up his religious allegiance.
Miss Fair has always been a great
friend of Mrs. o. H. P Belmont. her
fiance's mother. the late Mrs ". K

The announcement of the engage
ment of Miss Virginia Fair to W. X.
Vanderbilt, Jr, has doubtless been the
6eathblow to the hopes Of many for

daughters. Miss Fair is not only a

in America, while young Mr.. Vanderbilt
is the most eligible young man on this
side of the Atlantic-that is, so far as
money is concerned
Ten years ago the Fairs were socially
unknown in New York. Their rise in
society dates from the marriage of Miss
Theresa Fair, the eldest daughter of the
late Senator James G. Fair, to Mr. Her
man Oelrichs, of New York. This took
place in June, $780,

A GREEK OPINION OF WOMEN


The Greek philosopher Aristippus was
once asked by a friend what sort OF a wo-
man he ought TO choose for wife
His answer was: Il cannot recommend
any sort. for If she is fair she will deceive
you: If plain, you will dislike her. II she
is poor she will ruin you: II rich. you Will
be her slave. II she is clever. she will
despise you: if ignorant. she viii bore you.
and II she is spiteful she viii torment
you"
Perhaps this opinion Of the Greek sage

the tickle crowd changed to enthusiast
tic cheers, and they escorted the royal
family back to Paris, dancing round
the carriage with vociferous shouts OF
JOY and crying, as they pointed 10 the
90 carloads of corn which followed,
that they were bringing the baker, the
bakers wife and the bakers boy.
So the procession wound on TO the
Tu .kries as if in triumph, but 1t was
the triumph of the people over the
king. The revolution had begun in
France.

The camel is stupid, save when angry,
