Ugly Men and Pretty Women

~ don't see how such a lovely wo-
non could have married such an ugly
nan is an observation often heard.
= fs certain. that many famous and
Wealthy beauties have loved and mar
.;ad men of even repulsive personal ap-
pearance.
John Wilkes, the famous London al
derman and champion of British cleo
tors, was so abnormally ugly, says the
New York World that children ran af-
frighted from him in the streets, and
vet his powers of fascination were so
great that ladies of beauty and fash
ion We'd with each other for his no.
tice. while men of handsome exterior
and all courtly graces looked envious-
ly on"
There were, it is said, few beauties
of the day whose hand Wilkes might
not have confidently hoped to win; and
when he led Mary Mead to the altar
he made a wife of one of the richest
and most lovely women of her time.
Beauty and the Beast they call US -
Wilkes once said to his friend, Potter:

the description"
Jean Paul Marat, whose name will
always be associated with the evil his
tory of the French Revolution, was
VIGOROUSLY the ugliest man of his day
in Paris. When. this reputation reach
ed his ears, Marat is said to have re-
marked, But why limit my supremacy
to Paris ?"-and, indeed, the restriction
was much too modest
And yet in his earlier years, when
he was the most popular of court doc
tors, his very ugliness seemed to exer-
else such a fascination over aristo-
cratic ladies that they crowded his
consulting rooms in order to catch a
glimpse of and to exchange words with

aginary ailments.
Inc studied Indifference with which
he treated alike their charms and
their fiattery only made them the more
lnsistent, until he declared to a friend
that he would have to fly from Paris

admirers
Although there were few palmer men
OF mis- generation than the great Lord
Brougham, and as few who took so
little trouble to ingratiate themselves
into the favor of women, the brilliant
lawyer and statesman might at one
tlme nave picked and chosen" among
the falrest of society beauties.
NO man who cared so little for fe-
male society had surely ever so much
OF 1t thrust upon him-to such an ex-
tent, indeed, that when any one asked
where Lord Brougham was. the usual
answer was, Where the ladies are
thickest," and by following this sig
niicant guide he was generally run
to earth.
Among so many fair wooers it is lit
tie to be wondered at that Brougham
succumbed at last-to the charms of
Mrs. Spalding, widow, who added a
charming wit to an Incompatible per-
son."
Bailly, Mayor of Paris at the time
of the Reign of Terror, is said to have
had face almost exactly like that of
horse. His appearance was, in fact,
so abnormal so monstrous, that chill
dren shrieked and women tainted at
the very sight of him, and yet his
wife was one of the most lovely wo-
men in the whole of France-so lovely

for some women in extreme ugliness is
proved by innumerable cases in which
women who have been richly lowered
with physical charms have fallen mad

In the nature of things he desires to
do his work well, and the only way to

Naturally he is suspicious of every

test, most disagreeable month of the
twelve in New York, he has worked at
headquarters as earnestly as any of
the committees political members. In
the matter of hours he has generally
led them all, unless it was in 1892.
The Hon. Thomas H. Carter was
chairman of the committee that year.
He was on hand early and late and
at the campaigns close he was almost
a nervous wreck from overwork.
Commander Lucien Young, u. S. N,
who was captain of the Port of Ha-
vana after the American occupation up
to last spring, is now in charge of the
light house station on Staten Island
a very important post. Commander
Young was, perhaps, the most popular
American in Cuba during the time ne
held his post there. He had a great re-
cord as a life saver and owns one
sword, two or three watches and more
than one medal which have been given
to him in acknowledgment oC his gal
lantry and bravery in that line. Run
ming into Havana harbor is a small
river which ordinarily is little more
than a creek. But Cuban rivers are
sometimes veritable deluges, and Com
mander Young was reused one morning
by the news that this river had risen,
That the bridges had been. carried away
and that natives were being drowned
UP the valley. Within a couple of hours
he had large life boat with i crew
of sturdy men and was off in it for
the scene of the disaster. More than
fifty negroes were rescued from the
roofs of houses and other perilous
places as the life boat went up the
river and the captain and crew were
very properly congratulating them
selves on having saved many lives
when suddenly the boat struck bot
TOM The flood went down as suddenly
as 1t had arisen and Commander
Young, his gallant crew and the life
boat were stranded on top of a small
hill even as were Noah and his Ark.
So the life boat was hauled back to the
| coast on wheels-a distance of about
| ten miles-and Commander Young had
| time to ponder over the vagariss of
Cuban weather on the way. He has
wondered ever since if he really saved
any lives on that heroic expedition, or
| If he merely took few temporarily in
convenienced colcred citizens off their
| roofs and gave them a free ride in a
| government boat.

George Gould's announced intention
to enter upon racing career furnishes
food for thought in plenty. His at
tempt to buy the Mackay stable at pri-
vate sale is interesting. 1t is hardly
probable that John w. Mackay head
of the Postal Telegraph Company, the
only man who ever made Goulds
Western Union Telegraph Company sit
up and take notice, ever thought it
possible that his horses could fall into
the hands of Gould. Yet human his
tory is full of just such developments.

Frohman, after Days death
Gould's decision shows that the son
of Wall streets Little Wizard" means
to so as far socially as he possibly
can. For with him and every man of
his class, the pursuit of racing must
have more of social than sporting sig
nificance, and his entrance into the
racing world will mean that he in
tends to play the social game far
more strenuously than ever before. 1t
will mean also that in spite of all the
contests and complications in which
he is now involved he feels that he is
sufficiently sure of himself and the or

pONGEE FOR HATS AND GOWNS.

Every woman is dealing more or
less earnestly just now with the ques-
ton of her summer silk gown. The
problem is whether she shall buy a
MORE foulard, an embroidered pongee,
q taffeta crepe or sheeny figured
louisine. OF course, for the pure fash
ion of the thing biscuit brown, hand
woven, embroidered pongee must be
gravely considered. It comes done up
in box, needleworked in rich oriental
designs and colors. and very often it
shows a thread of gold among the
beautiful reds or greens Of the applied
designs.
There is nothing cooler and more
durable than a pongee, and it positive
ly invites the use of all that semi
oriental jcwelry, dull Burmah gold
buckles set with cloudy emeralds, etc.
that possesses apparently an mex
haustible popularity. With an eye to
the pongec craze that threatened two
months ago, the milliners have brought
put dozen different types of hats
made of this same material. Some of
them are stitched fedoras, some are
vide brimmed folding Thames hats,
and some are elaborate turbans. Those
for travel and rough outing service are
glorifed by pongee crown scarfs, fin
lshed with embroidered and deeplv
fringed ends, while the big. elaborate
lurbans show beautiful embroidery on
their broad. fat crown tops, and where
the masses of silky folds are lifted
on the left side of the head punches
OF yarlegated grapes are set against
The hair.
