PRESIDENTS IN RETIREMENT.
Only Ten Have Lived Longer Than Mr..
Cleveland After Leaving Office.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Only ten men who have held the Office of
President reached or surpassed Mr.. Cleve-
lands present age of sixty-eight: only six
exceeded 1t by much as ten years. and
none exceeded it by quite twenty years.
Only ten Presidents have survived their re-
tirement from office longer than Mr. CieVe-
land and four of these lived to a great age.
Washington, who survived his retirement
less than three years, thought himself an
old man when he was first made President
at the age of fifty-seven. John Adams sur
viyed his retirement quarter of a century,
and his son. John Quincy, who outlived his
retirement nearly twenty years, was the
only President who had nearly as conspicu-
Gus public career after occupying the
presidency as before.
Mcnroes SIX years after his retirement
from office were passed in comparative OBJ
security as @ resident of this city. and his
dying hours were embttered by scandalous
accusations in connection with JackSons
seizure of Spanish forts in Florida during
the first Seminole war. Polk outlived his
retirement less than year, and there is
every reason to suppose that had Arthur
ccmpassed his ambition of election to
the presidency in 1884 he would have died
early in his term. for he outliyed his retire
ment less than two years.
Tyler, who out&ived his retirement twenty
years. emerged from obscurity near the end
of his life to preside over the vain peace
convention on the eve of the civil war. He
federate states.
Buchanan lived more than seven years
after his retirement and took the oppor
tunity to write what was in effect "A de-
Tense of his administration.
Je Herson and Jackson We're the only
Presidents who exercised really powerful
influence over party councils after their per-
manent retirement from public office,
though Van Buren, was an active politician
as long he had hope of denomination at
the hands of any party Johnson the
only retired President to enter the United
States Senate. and the younger Adams was
the only one to serve in the House OF Rep
reSentatives.
Cleveland and Harrison have been the
only retired Presidents to be conspicuously
successful in private business. 1t is not
generally known that Mr.. Cleveland still
serves as consulting counsel in law cases.
IL which his experience in the office of
President may be supposed to have given
him special qualifications an adviser.
His fees in such cases are large, as were
those of Mr.. Harrison as a legal adviser

A Circus Teacher.
From the pilgrim

From the Pilgrim.
No doubt many a small girl, like numer-
Gus small boys, fondly dreams of being a
circus rider when grown, but after the man
ner of many youthful ambitions the desire
fades with the years. To those who retain
such an aim Mrs Linda Jeal Julian is an
invaluable friend, for Mrs. Julian's speciality
is training riders. Having been in the cir
Gus business thirty-three years. and still
taking an active part in that phase of II
tertanment. Mrs. Julian is well qualified TO
carry on her winter work at Havana H.,
that of breaking horses and training riders
for the circus. 1t takes time well pa
thence to train both and, though some are
more apt pupils than others. yet it takes
years to acquire a finish. Good health, pa
thence, perseverance and good humor are
Indispensable qualifications for both teacher
and pupil. Mrs. Julian has had remarkable
success in her work.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

The people of Japan are from very early
age instructed in physical exercise, with
the result that at maturity the women are
almost as strong as the men. 1t is not an
unusual sight to see a company of girls,
who are strolling along country road
step back a few yards for Roadway, and
then following a leader, all nimbly clear a
five-foot fence by leaping over it. - Ex-

White gowns are always fashionable un-
relieved by any color: but there are such
fascinating pinks and blues and yellows
and mauves that, while a white gown is al
ways distinctive and attractive, it seems to
have lost the smartness and individuality
that it possessed. There are most charm
ing materials for evening gowns this year,
striped gauzes and chiffons; chiffon espe-
cialIy seems endowed with everlasting
youth and appears again as one of the new
fabrics There are fascinating crepeS de
chine, while the plain and figured taffetas
and the inexpensive gauzes and satlns real

In the pattern gowns there is a great va
riety to choose from, both in laces and in
embroidered muslins, and most excellent
investment is lace gown made with two

LAX in their CATERS, lax in their gait,
is an old saying which applies well to the
modern shoe and it's wearer. No shoe will
keep in shape long unless it is put on a tree
when out of use. These "trees" are very
cheap, but most women look upon them as
an extravaganza. Another rule of the care

a day or SO and always wear a different
pair indoors. Low shoes are better for
house wear, as they permit ventilation. Sc

none too bold for entire costumes. The sea-
son promises to bring forth multitude or
gowns and coats made UP in this popular
fabric. At first the idea prevailed that 1t
would be confined chiefly to the shirt waist

from the orders placed by New York wom-
en-, it is certainly true that some of the
most elaborate street costumes Will De

AS has been mentioned before, the color
of the moment is purple In all Its oeautlful
and varying shades, with green a close sec

If one cannot wear an entire costume OF a
violet tint, then a compromise is made by
having one trimmed handsomely with the
color, taking care to keep it well away
from the face, or at least softened there,
so that it does not prove unbecoming.

to be the accepted one at present. Its cut

its masses of handsome trimming mark 1t

occasions. 1t is noticed that all evening
coats and wraps now sent over from far1s
are quite short, remarkably so when COM

Evening styles are essentially of the Louis
Seize period. Sleeves, decollete bodices, en-
tire costumes, in fact, have without doubt
been inspired by the paintings representing
women of the court of Louis Seize. 1t IS
pretty and dainty style. but rather ornate
for every woman. but modern dressmaking
art has learned how to modify without de-
stroying the effect so that it is quite within
the scope of all good dressmakers to adapt
whatever mode Paris decides is the thing.

There are times when a wrap like the ac-
companying model will prove boon to the
woman who chooses it, despite the general
demand for a coat with regulation coat
sleeves. 1t is impossible to secure the same
air with another cut of garment, and the
odd sleeves OF the above certainly are not
to be found elsewhere than in the shop
