"reminiscences of the Famous Italian
Beauty.

In connection with the Castiglione
sale, which still continues, filling the
Hotel Drouot with an immense crowd
each day. the Echo de Paris pub
fishes some interesting details con.
cerning the famous beauty. These de-
tails would lead one to suppose that
she must have been the typical Italian
woman Of high birth. religious, super.
stitious, intriguing, and, above all, fas.
cinating, clever, but rather with the
cleverness Of the woman Of the Middle
Ages than Of the modern woman; vain
to excess, and absolutely needing lux
uriOus surroundings. NJ. Estancelin,
who was an intimate friend. publishes
in the Echo de Paris the draft Of
will. by which IL appears that the COM
tesse was not aware that she had any
heirs The directions she gives for
her funeral are curious, and evidently
characteristic Only her former nurse
was to be admitted to see her dressed
beau" as she had arranged. Her feet
and hands were to be bare, and she
was to wear her 1857 nightdress with
"batiste and lace" and a long dressing
gown of black velvet and white plush
stripes. Her jewels were to consist Of
a pearl necklace having nine strings,
six Of white and three Of black pearls,
and a pierced halfpenny by way Of a
clasp. Her two embalmed dogs, Toto
and Zig, were to be placed in her cof-
fin, and round her neck, as well as the
pearls, was to be placed a LOurdes
medal. The comtesse. however, died
so suddenly that it was impossible to
carry all these directions out.
M. Estancelin also gives some inter
esting information concerning the po.
litical influence Of the comtesse, whose
papers have, unfortunately all been
burned. 10 appears that It was through
her influence with the emperor, which
was great, that Signor CaVour her
| cousin, was admitted to the congress
OF Paris and that the Italian question
became one Of European importance.
She also told NJ. Estancelin that she
| had served as Intermediary between
Plus TX and Victor Emmanuel, with
the result that the pope remained in
| Rome, and she showed him bracelet
which his holiness had given her by
way OF showing his gratitude. She
must indeed besides being a great
beauty, have been a woman Of consid

That portion of the new prison

reserved for political offenders will
be delightful abode. Oak tables sur
mounted by mirrors, supplied with
electric lights, ornamented with green
shades, are more suggestive of the
bOudoir than the prison; nevertheless,
they will be found there. The conver-
sation room, exclusively reserved for
the prisoners and well supplied with
books, newspapers and easy chairs,
will certainly tend to make the Sante
prison more popular than the clubs,
especially as, in addition to a splendid
bath room, the prison boasts of a
garden planted with beautiful shrubs,
which will be illuminated during the

The Beauty of Tact.

Charms of a good talker are often
underrated by those who wish to at
tract, and therefore they spend too
much time before the mirror and too
little with their books TO talk well
it is absolutely necessary that one
should have something to talk about
and this can only be obtained by cult
waiting ones mind.
Accustom yourself to talk of what
you see and what you read. Don't
think it too much trouble to talk to
members of your own family circle,
for many a one has become taciturn
and unpleasing from thinking it not
worth while to be entertaining to the
home party.
Cultivate the habit of story telling;
you cannot lack auditors as long as
there are children among your ac-
quaintance, and trying to tell a story
in the way that will interest them
will be excellent training.
When conversing there are certain
rules which should be carefully OBJ
served. Speak deliberately and dis
tlnctly and not too loudly; rapid and
noisy speech is wearying Find out
whether the person you are entertain
ing prefers to talk or to listen, and
govern yourself accordingly.
AS far as possible avoid all mention
OF unpleasant topics. and try to find
out what is interesting to your com
panion. Some sympathetic folk seem
to have a genius for saying the right
thing, and it is certainly faculty
which can be cultivated.
Never talk of yourself and your pri-
vate affairs except to ointimate friends:
1t is bad form and it generally bores
people. Avoid, also, all unkind and
censorious remarks about others,
even though they may be witty. and
never, If you can help it, make person.
al remarks, unless they are some
thing in the nature of delicate COM
pliment. If others say the wrong
thing, try to cover their error.

Only two women received the honor
able distinction of securing gold
medals in the art section of the Paris
exhibition. One of these is an Ameri-
can, Miss Cecilia Beaux, and the other
an Englishwoman Lady Alma Tade-
ma. Thus are the honors evenly di-
vided between the mother country and
her big daughter. Miss Beaux is a
particularly favorite artist in London.
Her brilliant and decidedly unfeminine
execution and her mastery treatment
of most of her subjects has gained her
an enviable reputation among conDois-
seurs. She first made success in
London with her wonderful studies Of
children. She would go into one of
the parks and see tiny child toddling
beside its nurse; with a few strokes OF
her pencil she was able to catch an eff
feet that gave one the idea in her sub
sequently finished work of an instan-
taneous picture. She seldom troubled
to do more than finish the child's Dor
trait. The nurses figure and the gem
eral surroundings We're only suggested
but there was so much movement and
ingenuity displayed in the composition
that the thing seemed instinct with
life.
Lady Alma Tadema, to certain de-
gree, follows in the footsteps Of her
distinguished husband; her dainty lit
tie studies of classic Roman interiors.
as well as her general treatment Of
her own peculiar genre of subject and
surroundings, make her work excess
sively charming, though perhaps not
as interesting in its originality as that
of the American artist.

Here is a conundrum that the agent
of one of the big uptown apartment
houses is wrestling with just now:
why is it that the $500 a year people
always insist on inspecting apartments
that will rent anywhere from $500 to
$500 year?' He had been overrun
with people of that sort and was worn

While long coats and three-Quarter
coats are the Smartest for the new
winter gowns, there are any number
of short jackets that are exceedingly
attractive. They are made in both
Eton and bolero style, but the fronts
have little or nothing to do with the
original design of such coats. All the
fronts are long enough to come below
the waist-line; some are made double
breasted and perfectly fiat in effect,
while others have pointed revers that
are opened to show an inside waist
coat of some different material, lace
yoke, and a large lace bow. Then
there is Il severe little jacket that is
fastened at the throat and has loug
points that hang down over the skirt,
and that is trimmed all around with
n narrow ball fringe of gold or silver.
Another jacket on the same lines is
trimmed with narrow lines of velvet
and rows of tiny fiat buttons in gold
or silver put on so that they overlap
one another. These jackets will look
too cold when really cold weather sets
in, but will make the costumes in
tended for early autumn exceedingly
gay and effective in appearance .-Har-

hold different IDEAS as to the age when
responsibility begins and a person can
be regarded as knowing the meaning
of his actions. In England the law
looks upon everyone over the age of
seven as a responsible being, and
every child beyond that age can he
prosecuted as a criminal. The same
age is accepted in Russia and Portugal
