The training which a French woman
goes thru to fit herself to be 1ady's
maid is most thoro, and is calculated to
make her perfect treasure" to heI
mistress some day. Such a one gives
her services to hairdresser for several
months, in order to learn all the tricks
of that trade; then for certain period
to a laundress to learn how to do up
laces and fine lingerie. She then learrs
to make the dainty underwear worn by
the women of the wealthy class, as well
as to launder it, and finally winds up
her period of preparation by spending
some months in the establishment of a
great dressmaker, where she learns the
rudiments of dressmaking, folding,
packing, etc. Some maids have also a
knowledge of millinery, and are enabled
thus to keep their mistresses' many hats
always in the tip of the style at very
little expense. In France this calling is
regarded as a profession equally with
that of medicine or the law, and is pre-
pared for with quite as much serious
ness of purpose. When a Frenchwornafi
is finally fitted for her work she. has
never any trouble in getting a position;
on the contrary her services are sought
by wealthy and fashionable women all
over the world, for the capabilities of
the French lady's maid have become a
matter of universal knowledge.
The German Kaiser is said to be a
remarkably intelligent man, well up on
all the topics of the day and equally
conversant with matters of the past. He
is a great reader and student, and yet
if a recent story Is true concerning him
he must have been surprisingly ignorant
of the history of the island of Corfu,
where is situated the castle which once
belonged to the unfortunate Empress
Elizabeth Of Austria, now owned by
him. 1t seems before making con-
templated visit to the island he spent
some time in studying modern Greek,
in order that he might be able to con-
verse on simple topics with the natives,
but when he arrived there he found
that his time had been entirely thrown
away, for the natives all spoke Italian
He had forgotten, or never knew, that
Corfu belonged to Venice for a period
of 400 years. "a.
The views on matrimony, etc, ex-
pressed by Miss Olga Nethersole, the
well-known English actress, before sthe
Peoples Institute in New York the other
| day, are somewhat surprising, and or
that account full of interest. MatrimOny
| is one of the few subjects which never
grows old or tiresome, but always COM
mands an audience. Miss Nethersole In
| her professional career Eas chosen to
present a class of plays which. judging
specifically, might lead one to suppose
| her views on marriage to be somewhat
unusual to say the least. The natural
conclusion drawn from such characters
as Sapho. Carmen, Camille, etc., Is thai
these extremely fascinating but danger
GUS ladies held the sacredness of the
holy bonds Of matrimony very lightly
and somehow or other the actress who
plays such characters almost entirely
as Miss Nethersole does, is supposed tC
| entertain a good deal the same opinion
But it seems we are all wrong, for Miss
NethersOle says that woman can only
attain true happiness thru marriage
and that she herself would rather be g
wife and mother than to reach the very
top of the pinnacle of fame. The wo.
men who do not die are the mothers
whose lives are continued in those they
bring into the world; the thread of lif,
is broken in the childless woman. Mis-
Nethersole thinks that things are grad
ually working toward the ideal mar
riage, when no motives but the highes
and noblest will influence men and wo
men about to enter upon this relation
Education and the opening to women O
all the avenues leading to self-suppor
have made them much less likely t,
marry for a home, money, fame or SO
cial position, as has been the case IL
the past, but will lead them to seel
more intelligently and persistently the
perfect mate. While 1t may seem tina
i fewer women of this class are marrying
now than formerly, 1t Is only that the
i pendulum has swung In the opposite
direction temporarily, but this very edu
| cation, which leads to higher intelli
gence, will show them the errors which
rhey have made in the pursuit of hap
l piness, and after awhile a reaction II
i favor of matrimony will take place, tn,
i pendulum swing back, and women will
marry instead of going into the profes
sions, etc. Miss Nethersole seems I,
have caught the popular infection o
4 socialism, and warmly advocates th
/ granting of old-age pensions and COM
pulsory insurance by the Governmen
for workingmen and women. This, il
her opinion, would give more women o
this class a chance to follow out TIL,
natural career of wife and mother. Mis-
Nethersole made a plea to her audienc,
to disregard the non-essentials of life
1.-The important thing" she said, 81
health. Without health and worl
there is nothing in life worth living for.
A judicious system of old-age pension
and compulsory insurance. which coui,
be shared among the employe, employee
and the Government; would, she thinks
add greatly to the store of publ,
Health, and in consequence work woul,
be better performed, women woul,
make better wives and mothers an,
more people would be happier. All o
which, coming from this particular ac
i tress; as before remarked, Is a goot
deal of a surprise. ~
