It took a IOIIB tltno and much trouble , but at la.it the reporter did personally sec and talk with a telephone Klrl. In what cxch ingo ehevorks , whuthcr she U tall or nhort , light or dark , chews gutn or lives In. New York the reporter \\lll not divulge , though the Information should be deemed Vdtuabh to tlin Lcxow committee , Bays the Now York Sun. " \Vhy \ , * say , " she Bald , after her confl- denco had been won , "If I only know men na' I meet them over the wire I would be- llcvo that they art- all brutes uiul some of them aluo jay ; . Why , say , they talk about our using fresh. Well , wo ain't fresh long. If we are , because you're called down too quick by the manager or his assistant It you get fresh over the wire. Hut there ain't any one got a bag of salt to sprinkle on the people who talk to us. U don't ncein to make any difference how much a man USOB a telephone , he never scemi to BCt any sense In his head about It. Now , Just as likely as not you have telephoned and Ecoldcd central because they couldn't Elvo you the number you wanted. When central has rung up a number for you , or rung up tlu > exchange where she Is going to get that number , she couldrft do any more If she owned the telephone company. "Hut you said ( ome men In addition to being brutes , which Is a more or less fa miliar fact , ere also Jays. Now , Just how ara they jaya by telephone , " the reporter osked. i Miss Hello responded : "Why , say , didn't you ever try to get comic with a telephone girl ? That's what lota of men do , nnd they are more fun for us than pay day. I don't mean business men down town , or any men while In ther ofllce , became they are generally talking where people can hear them. But when I worked In an ex change where we were central for a let of residence telchones , It seemed as If every man who rang us up had nothing else to do but to gtit gay. " "I remember one night when I had told a man to 'plsuse wait' he began to get comic right away. I was on to him , and I be gan stringing him just a little bit , you know , because the ri.ght manager was out cf the cilice and 1 had a chance to Jolly him a lit tle. I could tell from his tone , even be- Joro he began to talk silly , that he was elono In the room , and pretty teen he be- pan asking me about my nights oft and If I would like some tickets to a roof garden. Suddenly his voice changed and he began yelling Ilko a cross bear , 'Hello , I say , you central ! why don't you attend to business ? ' Why say , I knew what had happened Just cs soon as he did that. His wife had come Into , the room , and I laughed at hm ovci the telephone , nnd tald , "Ask wlfey how Bho'd like to have you send me those roof garden tickets. ' IJang ! Ho hung up the receiver , and I knew Just as well as that I was alive that ho had got rattled and was afraid his wife might hear what I said , although we were half a milo apart. That happens lots of times. Ssy , I wonder what makes so many men ask telephone girls what Is the color of their hair. When I was In that uptown exchange I'll bet 100 different men asked me that question after they had called up central and had to wait. It's lots of fun to Jolly the guys , but of course you can only do It In the smaller exchanges where there Is no assistant man ager and the manager U sometimes out. Of course you can keep up a Jolly for some time by Just making answers that seem all right to the manager If ho happens to over hear you , bscauso ho can't tell what you nro answering. "Women ? Why , say , they're the sau ciest things you ever saw. If they can't got the number they want right away they begin to scream and shout and threaten , and mostly wind up by laying that the nasty old thing Isn't any good , and hang up the receiver Just about the time you want to give them their number. "Do wo listen much ? Why , say , I think that's an awful foolish question. Do you Bupposo wo have any time to listen ? On the level ? Well , say , on the level then , Just because wo are hello girls wo are human beings Jutt as hard , and if It is at night and we are not very busy and some thing very interesting Is going through , or WO hear a voice telling some one that he won t be home until late on account of be ing busy with the correspondence to go by ho next steamer , and then a little later hear that same voice telling a very differ ent sort of story lo some one else why Bay , of course we're human. " And thus prattled on that Miss Hello. She WES a young person of un observant nature , which makes It all the more un fortunate , for mankind that at the conclu sion of her story she added the remark with which she had be gun that If she only knew men as. she met them over the wires she would behove them all brutes and some of them "The story of a portrait might bo written with good effect If the various uses of a discarded woodcut could bo followed , " said a well known woman of society the other day to a New York Tribune reporter. "I had an experience myself that would have been funny If It had not been so very annoy ing. Some tlmo ago I received a note from the editor of a certain weekly , saying that they were publishing- series of portraits of prominent women , and , alluding td my good works' In organizing various charities ho requested my photograph and permission to reproduce my picture In his Journal. Not a little flattered , I chose my best pose and Inclosed the photograph to him , and In the course of time a fairly creditable likeness was published. As my photo was returned I thought- more about It ; but a month or two later I was horrified to receive a badly printed , common looking western paper , with my portrait In the very center of the front page , and the dreadful words In big type above it 'She poisoned her husband ! ' "It seems that the print had been seen and recognized by a friend traveling on a west ern railroad In a newspaper that was being read by his next neighbor. Having seen the first publication In the Journal I mentioned , ho at once remembered the picture , and wishing , for my sake , to trace the cut. ho Invented some excuse for borrowing the paper , found the name and address of the editor , and going to his onice demanded an explanation. This was furnished him without hesitation by the genial proprietor of the , who acknowledged that ho had no Idea whose portrait ho was using. " 'A good looking woman llk'e that,1 ho was pleased to say , 'gives Interest to a plzenlng case , and so I just stuck her In. Where did I get the cut ? Oh , I buy them cheap after they have boon used I if the east ern papers. Of course well known people keep their own names , but there are gener ally a lot of other portraits that come handy for anything that turns up. And so that lady's a friend o' yours ? Well , you must have had kinder a shock when you saw she'd been R-plzenlng her family ! ' And the wretch laughed as if It were an excellent joke. 'Shall 1 deny it for you ? Hut I guess that'd only make It worse , wouldn't It ? Bet ter leave It be , and I'll give you the woodcut , so that you can see that she don't cut up any more shines , ' ho added facetiously. " The dwelling house of the future , con structed on scientific and hygienic principles , will bo bathtubless , says the New York Mall and Express. The porcelain lined and cine lined and ( In lined tubs of today will be unknown- Their places will to taken by a tllej room , In which will be arranged ahower or rain baths at various angles. These douches will tupplr hot , cold or tepid water at the pleasure of the bather , and the liquid will be carried off ac fast as It Is used by a spacious drain pipe. The Idea is not a now one , and wher ever It lias been adopted the result has been gratifying. There are three houses In Lon don , recently completed , supplied with this method of bathing , and there Is said to bo pno In PhltadelpulA , It 1 * not known whether the Innovation hat boon made In New York that Is , whether there Is nny private dwell ing fitted up exclusively with shower bat In. There are several fashionable holmes on Madison and Fifth avenue * that Imvo both , but It Is doubtful If anywhere the tub has been abandoned altogether. It U claimed for the rain bath that It U In every way nuperlor to the method we have known sincecMllzatlon began , and thin haa been proven In many public Insti tutions. The flmi one ever built In America was put In the New York Juvenile asylum. The Dcmllt dlxponnary has thorn , and so has the bathing establishment erected by the trustees of thu Il.iron Illrsch fund at Henry and Maiket streets. One of the largest rain baths In the country Is now In course of construction In the State Hospital for the Insane at Ctlca , and It Is predicted that within a few years all prisons and hospitals will have adopted the system. The most enthusiastic advocate of the rain bath Is William I'aul Gerhard , who has made a study of Its advantages. In the first place ho says that It requires less space In the planning of a bath house , It consumes less tlmo In application , the body of the bather does not como In contact , with solid water , the mechanical nnd tonle. effect of the de scending stream Is unquestionable , the cleansIng - Ing and stimulating effects are greater than In a bath tub , less water Is required , and no tlmo Is lost In waiting for the filling of the tub In houses where the supply Is slow. These are a few of the reasons advanced , and Mr. Gerhard bases an elaborate argument upon them , maintaining his position through out with a logic that Is convincing and In teresting. There Is n pretty flutter among the public school teachers of San Francisco. President Hyde of the Hoard of Education , signing a lot of certificates recently , was struck with the number of them bearing the diminutives Maggie , Daisy , Ksslc , nttlo and Ulrdle. The last teemed to him the. worst of all. "Why , Just think of It , " said the educator to a local reporter , "tho teacher who signed herself Ulrdlc Is named Blanche. Her name Isn't'Ulrdle at all. Now , that Isn't righter or illgnlfled. Then there were Essies and Daisys and Cities galore. I don't think It Is quite the thing. I spoke a year ago to the superintendent about this , but It seems that the epidemic of pet names Is spreading again. "Why , Just think ; there Is the principal of one school here whom every one calls Uessio. She Is so ashamed of It now that she signs herself U. Blank. I won't give her name. It wouldn't be fair. "Suppose , " went on President Hyde , liftIng - Ing up his hands In horror at the thought , "I signed myself Kreddle Freddie Hyde , " he repeated slowly. "Imagine how that would sound ! Freddie Hycjel Why , It Is preposterous. Anil yet we see gray-haired women In the department , signing them selves Gussle , Jennie , Jessie and nirdle. " Out of all of which has come a rule pro hibiting the use among the teachers of pet names In official designation. Investigation disclosed that one-third of the Christian names printed In the school directory arc diminutives. ' Annies , Maggies , Nettles , Nel lies and Carries abound , many of them borne by married women long p.ist their first youth , and , officially , they must all go. Rules affecting personal tastes and opin ions are always unpleasant , but the pro priety of the suggestion that educators should cease to be "Ulrdles" and "Essies" few will question. The reaction set In In the east some time ago , and the use of di minutives In signatures of professional and business women is much more often omitted than employed. Tired after numerous calls to patients who had broken noses , broken heads or broken hearts , one of Director neltler's police sur geons was waiting the other day at a street corner In the Fourth ward for a horse car , says the Philadelphia Press. He Is a martyr to cold feet , and , as the car did not arrive , his teeth began to chatter , and he entered a near-by dry goods store and said to the proprietor : "Good morning , madam. May I wait In this store until my car arrives ? " "Faix , an' I don't know "bout that. I don't want strange mln In me shop. Git out ! " said the woman addressed. "Hut my feet are cold , and , surely , In the name of charity " "Then war-r-m thlm by walkln' . Git out ! " "Surely , madam , you don't think I would steal anything. I could buy your store and all the rickety tenements around you and have lots of money left over , " said the sur geon , warmly. "Steal , la It ? Falx , but I'm not so sure of that , " exclaimed the critic. Just then the surgeon saw his" horse car coming , and he opened fire on the woman as follows : "You Infinitesimal creature of a mundane sphere , locked In the depths of your Incxhaus- tlbleness , you vassal of an Inflammatory oligarchy , whose word Is latltudlnarlanlsm. Oterquo quarterquo beatl quls onto era patrum Trojae sub moenlbus altls ! " For once In her life the virago was "floored , " and she listened respectfully to the surgeon's Latin with her mouth open. "Stay If ye wish , sur , " she said at last. In quavering tones , "but don't swear In that way ; It makes mo blood cur-r-dlo ! " The surgeon fled. The woman had met her master. The kitchen ought to be the most Inter esting room In the house and be the best furnished In proportion , of course and yet It is too often the case that It Is the most dismal hole Imaginable. Many house build ers pay no attention to the location of the kitchen at all. They put It off in a lower dark corner , one that is too gloomy for any other purpose , and there the woman who does her own work has to spend two-thirds of her waking hours. The kitchen should bo for health's sake , If for no other the brightest room In the house excepting only the nursery and the room where the chil dren sleep. It should have every conven ience for saving labor and steps and be well ventilated. U need not be a very large room , If everything Is compactly arranged In It , and It should have the walls lined with cupboards , built in the house. The sinks should not bo enclosed , for If they are a bit damp they will get to smelling bad In a very short tlmo and nothing will ever overcome it. You will find on Inquiry that In old houses where the kitchen is poked off under the back stoop and has but one window , facing on a walled-up area , or north , the people of that house had always some member of the family sick. Microbes and Infection love dark kitchens. At a recent competitive examination , held In Philadelphia for appointment of residents in the Philadelphia hospital ( "niockley" ) , there were eighty-four contestants , eight of whom were women. The honor of obtain ing first rank over all other candidates has been accorded to Dr. Helen Baldwin of Con necticut , a graduate of the Woman's Medi cal college of the New York Infirmary , class of ' 91. Dr. Baldwin Is also a graduate of Wellesley college , and she has served as Interne In the New England Hospital for Women and Children. She took the ex amination held In Uoston In June , 1S92 , for admission to the Massachusetts Medical so- cltey , and there also she obtained the highest mark given by the examiners. The present result In Philadelphia marks the second Instance within four years where a woman has been declared "No. 1 In the Dlockley examinations. " Two other women are also to servo on the newly appointed staff of residents , which numbers sixteen In all. Dr. Augusta G. Williams of II rook - llue , Macs. , graduated this past month from the Woman's Medical college of Pennsyl vania , obtained the ninth rank , while Dr. Caroline Hetrlck of Pennsylvania , graduated at the same time and placa as Dr. Williams , received the tenth place of honor. A prominent attorney who has Just re turned from a trip through Elliott county Investigating land titles for a Louisville syn dicate related a story of an Incident which has since caused gossip In Elliott county , Kentucky , says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It seems that James Wilson , a well-to-do farmer of Elliott county , wooed and married pretty Mary Pence some ten years ago. For a time their llfo was a gay one , but soon domestic discord prevailed. Matters reached such a stage that by mutual consent the couple agreed to obtain a divorce , Wilson was to apply for the decree and his wife waste to make no defence. This it wait believed would avoid publicity , and both would se cure the desired freedom , Au attorney was employed toveral months ago by Wilson with Instructions to secure the divorce. During the time caused by the law's delay In grant- Inn the divorce the wife and husband met , and they were finally reconciled , and again determined to live together. So complete was their new happiness and so Joyvms their second honeymoon that neither husband nor wife thought of the pro ceeding which had been filed for divorce. The lawyer , In the meantime , had recorded the divorce , and In the rush of business for got to Inform the husband of the granting of the decree , For a month Mr. and Mrs. Wilson lived together after the divorce was granted , In utter Ignorance of the fact that they were not man and wife. The people gossiped , but nothing reached the curs of the couple. One day soon after the Elliott county grand Jury met and Indicted both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson for living together. The first Inti mation they had of thole divorce being granted was the appearance of the sheriff of Elliott county wftli tne Indictments and bench warrants fur their arrest. Mr , and Mrs. Wllcon went before a mag istrate and gave ball to appear In court. Im mediately after giving bond they went be fore a minister and were again married. They hope that when their case U called that ; the charges will bo dismissed when their attorney makes the statement of the delusion they labored under , A very profitable lesson for children to loirn early In life Is to be Independent enough to watt on themselves , says the Philadelphia Times. Have nails driven low for the little hands to reach and teach them to hang up their own hats and bonnets every time they take them off. Teach them habits of order and neatness Just as soon as they are old enough to be taught any thing , and many needless steps will be saved. It seems perfectly natural for the average child to toss down combs , books , towels , papers , soiled aprons and dozens of other articles where they were last used , and then to turn them all over when a needed article Is wanted that cannot ba found In Its place. And the bad habit will de velop surprisingly fast , unless checked very early In life. Teach the children to discern right from wrong. Teach them that If anything seems wrong to them they are not to do It , no mat ter If people do say It Is proper , and that If It Is right they must go on regardless of what people fay. We are , doubtless , all familiar with households where the mother asks , "What will people say ? " whenever a subject Is brought up for consideration. Of course , a reasonable amount of respect ought to be paid to the rest of the world , and pub lic opinion Is often a healthful restraining power. Hut to take public opinion as a rule of action , and Invariably be guided by It , shows a weakness and lack of will and rea soning power. The "lady commercial" Is fast becoming an institution In Birmingham , as elsewhere , says the Birmingham Mall. She Is , gener ally speaking , quite as smart and resource ful as her male competitor , and her sex gives her an additional advantage. Apart altogether from the dlfllculty of saying "No" to a woman , especially If young and hand some , the more drastic methods of getting rid of unwelcome Importunities are obviously out of the question when the "traveler" Is of the gentler sex. And then , of course , the lady Is bound to have the last word. An en terprising member of the fraternity or ehojld I rather say sisterhood ? called upon a local firm the other morning. She was assured that the stock In her special line was full up. "But I should like 10 show you my samples. I'm sure you'd like them. " "Not today , thank you. Beside : , we have no ac count with your firm. " "I know you haven't , but you'll allow me to open one , won't you ? Only a small line , for a beginning ? " "No , we positively don't require anything In that way Just now. " "Really ! Well , good morn- Ing. I'll call agin In the afternoon. Gentle men are generally more open to reason when they have dined. " % "Is old age unlovely ? " said a woman of society who Is herself not so very young. "Yes , but It need not be so. Of course good temper and a youthful spirit go far to make It charming to look upon ; but , putting these desirable qualities aside , old age Is , to speak frankly , made agreeable by absolute neat ness. "It's In the lack of this dainty neatness that too many old people offend even some of those who have all their lives been ac customed to refined and careful ways. They yield to the physical languor and weakness that creep on them with the creeping years , and the little efforts and exertions that beautiful neatness requires they are Inclined to neglect. All the accessories of on old' ' person's attire should be fresh and complete , though not necessarily expensive , and the most exact personal cleanliness should be observed. Attend to these matters and no old man or woman need be unlovely. I've seen old Quaker ladles who were as winning in their way as any sweet , rosy baby , with their spotless dress and their delicate com plexions , their scrupulously cared for hands and their smoothly banded white hair. I should always preach to old people the prosaic and perfectly simple doctrine , 'Be clean , be clean , be clean , if you want to remain be loved and admired by your youngsters. ' " The. widow of the late President Carnet Is the daughter of M. Dupont-White , . a cele brated political economist. She brought her husband some fortune and proved to be of the greatest assistance to him In pushing his political Interests. Mme. Carnet Is a woman of exceedingly refined tastes and captivating manners , clever , chatty , well Informed , anx ious to please and highly successful In soci ety. She Is an accomplished linguist , speaks English with fluency , and has a wide ac quaintance with English literature. Her father , M. Dupont-Whlte , was a liberal re publican and a great admirer of the political Institutions of England. Mme. Cornet's brilliant social qualities , amiable disposition and philanthropy were of Inestimable value to her husband In the promotion of his In terests as a statesman. While Queen Victoria was in Florence there was given a flrst performance of an operetta , "Ethellnda , " at the Pergola. The piece met a tremendous success. It Is said to bo a work of art showing the spirit of a musical genius. The orchestration Is sold to be marvelous , and on the night of the dress rehearsal the critics many times burst Into unanimous and enthusiastic applause. The Judgment of the Florentine musical pub lic has weight all over the world , and It has no scruples In expressing condemnation , oven some of Verdi's operas having been hissed In Florence. To achieve a triumph before such critics , then , means something , and a mysterious Mr. Marlon , who was said to be the composar. is not "Mr. " at all. but Lady Mildred Marlon Jessup , youngest daughter of the carl of Strathmoro. who married Mr. Augustus Jessup of Philadelphia. Mr. Jessup wrote the libretto which Lady Mildred set to music. Like all familiar customs whose origin Is lost In antiquity , the wearing of orange blossoms Is accounted for In various ways. Among other stories Is the following pretty legend from Spain- says Kato Field s Wash- ° An 'African prince presented a Spanish king with a magnificent orange tree , whoe creamy , waxen blossoms and wonderful fra- cranco excited the admiration of the whole court. Many begged In vain for a branch of the plant , but a foreign ambassador wan tormented by the desire to introduce so great R curiosity to his native land. He had used every possible means , fair or foul , to acocmpllsh his purpoie , but all his ef forts coming to naught ho gave up In de- 8 The fair daughter of the court gardener was loved by a young artisan , but lacked the dot which the family considered neces sary In a bride. One day , chancing to break oft a spray of orange blossoms , the gardener thoughtlessly save It to his daugh ter. Setlng the coveted prize In the girl's hair , the wlley ambassador promptly gave her ti sum sulllclent for the desired dowry , pro vided she gave him the branch and said nothing about It. Her marriage was soon celebrated , and on the way to the altar , In grateful remembrance of the source of nil her happiness , she secretly broke off an other bit ct the lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the poor court gardener lost his head In consequence of the daughter's treachery the legend does not state , but many lands now know the wonderful tree , and ever since that wedding day Orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride. Cards have been received at the Woman's College announcing the marriage of Dr. Mary V. Mitchell , physical director of the college , and Mr. Robert P. Green of Swartti- more , Ia. It was the third wedding In two years of lady professors In the gymimitlc department of the college , and the stu dents and professors now have a standing joke about the chair of physical culture be ing fatal to the occupants who think them selves proof iigalnst affairs of the heart. Dr. Mitchell Is a young physician of ex ceptional ability , and sha was greatly liked at the college.

A female of Gl , lately K nllree at the Hack ney Training school at , llrcntwood , Who U nt present under reprdpiiuid for 111 treatIng - Ing a number of pauper girls less than 14 years of age , must certainly be credited with the possession of \yoidcrful | fertility of Invention of the art of inflicting pain. Among the acts of crtfely | Imputed to her are knocking the children's heads against the wall , cutting their' heads with kcyi , making them kneel with bare knees on the wire guards which covered the hot water pipes , thrashing them with canes and stinging nettles , forcing them to march lm > parfcctly clad around the dormitory with baskets containing their clothes upon their heads , administering the bastinado If they dropped cither clothes cr basket , and , finally , depriving them of water to drink for twenty-four hour * at a time. The eight unmarried ladles who hold office as Victoria's maids of honor have some privileges. They are given the pre fix of "honorable , " and , on marrying , re- celvo from the queen the gift of 1,000. Ono or two maids of honor reside for a fort night nt a tlmo at Windsor or Osborne , but her majesty soldoms takes more than one to Scotland. The distinctive badge worn by maids of honor It a bow of scarlet rib bon on the shoulder , while the ladles-in- waltlng wear a white bow with the queen's cameo portrait. The dowery of a mad ! of honor has been given fcr at least 150 years , but la according to her majesty's pleasure , and In 1SC8 It was refused to one lady who engaged herself In marriage without the consent of her royal mistress. J'ntliiun IllntK. Black laces are fully as fashionable as white both edgings and Insertions. The use of laces this season Is unlimited. A silk dust cloak Imported from Paris has a full collarette or deep lace. "Kenmaro" Is the name of a wide ribbed serge to be found In light green , water blue , red , butter color , and pale gray. Light suede gloves prevail for summer wear , and cream butter color , and a kind of ' 'rosy fawn" are the most desirable shades. Sharp Vandyke points , .cither small or large , are seen In nearly every sort of lace , and their decorative possibilities appear to be Inexhaustible. The black satin violets of the winter and spring have been replaced for midsummer hats by white satin ones. They nro massed In liuge overtopping bunches. A new bathing suit Is a blouse rcdlngotc of blue serge , held at the waist with a sash of whlto serge , and revcrs of white opening over a plastron striped with blue. Cotton sateens In floral designs of pink and black are very taking , and a favorite pattern In gingham Is tiny white horse shoes dotted all over a pale blue ground. A dainty house slipper Is made of heavy black satin , which Is cut away over the In- atep and replaced by an Insertion of Jet open work , extending to within half an Inch of the pointed toe. In summer laces , circular , ripples are seen on most of the net-top'jYatletles. Insertions are provided to match nearly' all the various designs which are woven c'ltljer with straighter or fancy edges. Coarse brown and yellow straws trimmed with shades of deep blue are a feature of summer hats , and blue .poppies . are a late addition to the unnatural flower garden of millinery fame. ' , ' The craze for neck bands jpf bright-colored velvet , with a fall of lace infront , has devel oped Into another for neck /uches , and these are made of lace , ribbon , , and chiffon , box- plaited very .full. Satin cloth , so fashlonablethls | year , comes In all possible colors , and , Is said to wear forever. A pretty design Sjhqws little squares of biscuit color outlined i ith pale blue silken ' on a black ground. | , , Fashion dictates thati silver sleeve links and studs should be worn } wlth colored and gold with linen shirt waists. Also , that the belt buckle , be It Jeweledc silver ; or gold , should be of oval shape. Striped and checked taffeta silks of exqui site quality and luster are among the dressi est fabrics worn this summer , and a variety of artistic combinations of color are often used to form the design. Marie Antoinette fichus of chiffon , dotted and plain muslin , net or lace , either black or white , are one of the fashionable accessories of summer dress , and the very chic ones are knotted In the back with falling ends. Dark blue tulle , or1 tulle of any color. Is an Important adjunct to headgear , no color , or any combination of colors , being too Incon gruous for the season's fancy. A purple bird , a bunch of cherries , and blue rosettes are the variety on one hat. Fans are much smaller than heretofore and the most fashionable are the pretty Empire air-givers mounted on tortoise shell sticks of yellow. Others are embroidered very finely with baby ribbon In Louis XV. styles and Illuminated with spangles. Alpaca Is becoming mqre and more popu lar , and the black gowns of It are made and trimmed with ecru lawn exquisitely embroid ered. A heavy quality , which is very glossy , Is used for coats , and another variety has little silk stars raised on the surface. Ivy Is In fashion , and entire bonnets are made of It , with little tufts of pink roses In front and back. Cyclamen color and red popples , softened with black aigrettes or feathers , are a fashionable trimming , and all hats have a little droop of blossoms on the hair. Feminine Notes. Amclle Rives Chanler is planning a trip to the Holy Land. Miss Sibyl Sanderson lately appeared as Juliet In Paris In a splendid violet gown embroidered with turquoises. Miss Blanche H. Hill is the flrst woman to compete for the Goddard prizes for oratory tory at Tufts college. She won the flrst prize in the flrst division. Miss Addle Larncd and Miss Mary Hamil ton of Toledo , 0. , who were recently ap pointed appraisers of the estate of women of that city , are , It Is claimed , the flrst women appointed to such an office. Hudyard Kipling seems to "have hit the nail squarely on the * head In his summing up of the situation of the latter-day woman. Says he ; "A woman today can do exactly what her body and soul will let her , " and she certainly can. It Is now permitted In Japan that a native woman may remain single If she so choose. The mikado has recently Issued a decree to that effect. Heretofore , If found unmar ried after a certain age , a husband was se lected for her by law.

Mrs. Van Kensselaer Cruger will miss this season that delightful "summer writing room of hers down at "Idlesse , " her lovely Long Island homo that went up In smoke last winter. A marble floor , a marble divan strewn with rugs and a playing fountain made It an Ideal apartment with the ther mometer In the nineties. Every one who has ever sung a song or played a piece of music before friends knows the agony of mind engeridered by what ought to be the simple operation of "turning over , " and will appreciate the word that an English Inventor a woman , It Is said has designed a small tool or attachment by which the leaves of music are kept apart and the fingers quickly Inserted. Here Is food for thought In a question propounded by a Uoaton woman : "What would prevent , " she nsks , "If we were to have universal suffrage In Massachusetts , our disfranchising the male population ? Nothing In the world If we were united , There arc 49,000 more women than men In this state , nnd wo should have It nil our own way , nnd would soon bo master * of the political situation. " Shoppers have become used to buying Ice cream freezers nnd sealskin cloaks , carpets and diamond rings under one roof , but live lambs ara a commodity that heretofore has not been offered at bargain sales as they were nt a Baltimore department shop the other day.

It was "a happy accident" that made Chief Justice Illchardson of New Hampshire a lawyer. His father was n farmer and Intended to make his son n cultivator of the noil. But at 16 nn accident so Injured one of the boy's hands as to unfit him for man ual labor. He then determined to become n scholar. Ho entered Harvard college , grad uated with high rank , taught school , studied law , and sixteen years after his admission to the bar was appointed to the highest Judi cial position In New Hampshire. Judge Richardson , says Youth's Compan ion , supplemented his native capacity , which was remarkable , by untiring mental Indus try. He studied the great works of .the sages of the law , nnd , that he might not be a mere lawyer , read the Latin nnd Greek classics and the best French , Italian nnd Spanish authors. Natural science was also cultivated , especially botany , In which he became proficient. Like all men whom culture has broadened nnd made many sided , Judge Richardson was hospitable to new Ideas. He had little pride of opinion , nnd was willing to abandon one of his own rulings If argument had con vinced him that It was not tenable. He was unlike another Judge of the state who held so pertinaciously to his first Impressions that It was said of him : "It Is of great Importance that Judge Win- gate should form a correct opinion before ho pronounced it , for after that law , reason and authority would be unavailing. " Judge Richardson's readiness to abandon a ruling he had once made was not relished by some of thb lawyers. That great lawyer , Jeremlah Mason , was once pressing a point on the Judge with his usual force. "Brother Mason , " said the Judge , "the Im pression of the court Is In your favor. " "Yes , " retorted Mason , "but I want your honor to stick ! " In Illinois and some other states there Is an old law on the statute books to the effect that In criminal cases the Jury Is "Judge of the law as well as the facts. " Though not often quoted , once In a while a lawyer with a desperate case makes use of it. In one case the Judge Instructed the Jury that It was to judge of the law as well as the facts , but added that It was not not Judge of the law unless It was fully satisfied that it knew more law than the Judge. An outrageous verdict was brought In , contrary to all Instructions of the court , who felt called upon to rebuke the Jury. At last one old farmer arose : "Jedge , " said he , "wcro't we to Jedge the law as well as the facts ? " "Certainly , " was the response ; "but I told you not to Judge the law unless you were clearly satisfied that you knew the law bet ter than I did. " "Well , Jedge , " answered the farmer , as he shifted his quid a little , "wo considered that p'int. " The young man had Just been admitted to practice at the bar. He sat within the bar enclosure , speculating upon the chances of clients coming to him , by mistake or other wise. He heard his name spoken and started to his feet , relates Harper's Drawer. "Mr. Do Novo , the prisoner at the bar , Is unable to employ counsel. Will you defend him ? " "Certainly , your honor. May I retire with him to the -bar office for a few moments' con sultation ? " - "Yes , sir , and give him your best advice. " A hardly perceptible sneer curled his honor's lips'as he uittcred these last wordsr but flie yduug man did not appear to notice It. Motioning for the prisoner to follow him , he passed Into the other room. The door was closed , and for ten minutes the lively clatter of many conversations filled the court room. Then the young man strolled Into the room and dropped Into a chair. The crier proclaimed , "Silence in the court room ! " His honor gazed upon the young man and said : "Are you ready to proceed ? " "Yes , your honor. " "Where's the prisoner ? " "I really don't know. " "What' " "I'm sure I don't know. " "Mr. De Novo , will you explain what you mean by this most extraordinary conduct ? " "Your honor told me to give him tne best advice I could , I believe ? " "Yes , sir. " "May It please the court , when I consulted him I found he was guilty , and had really no defence whatever. So , In pursuance of your honor's EO kindly meant suggestion , I aa- vlsed him to drop out of the window tuA make himself afl Scarce as possible. I pre sume , In fact 1 know , that he followed the flrst part of jiiy ( Ulvloa , and I believe ho will also observe 1 > e rest Ot U. " The prisoner thAt Wfta Is still at large. Some years ago , ftt the trial of a cause before a Justice of the peace In one of the southern states , a decidedly novel legal authority was cited by one of the learned members of the bar , which wrought some slight confusion In the court room. "The court will plensei observe , " remarked this acute counsel , with much deliberation and a most ponderous manner , "that in the case of Shylock vs Antonio , although Judgment was rendered In favor of the plaintiff , yet circumstances prevented the execution which had Issued from being car ried Into effect , In spite of that fact. " "To what cause , " Inquired the Justice , with a face overspread with perplexity , "did the court understand the gentleman to re fer ? " "Shylock vs Antonio , second Shakespeare , page 235 , Johnson's edition , " returned the counsel , solemnly. "Tho court will find there the case reported In full. " The court unfortunately did not , upon reflection , consider the authority quoted ai qulto sulllclent. A refreshing sample of brevity by bench and bar occurs In a case where the great Ersklno 'appeared ' for the plaintiff , who sought to recover 10 guineas lent by him to his lady love before they parted to meet In court. Ersklno began by remarking that when love was over the laconic style of letter writing was most fitting. He then read the following letter from the de fendant : Sir When convenient you shall have your 10 guinea ; . I despise you. CATHARINE KEELING. Said Ersklne ; I shall prove the hand writing , nnd that is my case. " Asked Bcarcroft , counsel for the defense : "Is that all ? " "Ay , " quoth Ersklne. "Then I despise you , " said Bearcroft. and Mr. Justice Buller nonsuited the plain tiff. tiff.After After this one does not much marvel at thh Judge's not.on of paradise : "Playing whist all night and trying nisi prlus cases all day. " These , by the by , were the days of short opinions no well as short speeches. Taunton would sometimes advlie : "The question Is worth trying. " Ersklne once wrote ; "The action will lie If the witnesses do. " Counsel ( to talesman ) Have you any knowledge of anything In this world ? Talesman I have not. Cinmsel Do you know enough to come In out of the rain ? Talesman I do not. Counsel If you were standing on a rail road track and nn express train approached at a < pecd of ninety miles an hour would youkstep out iOt the way ? Talesman I would not. Chorus of Lawyers Step right Into the Jury box. A well known lawyer on circuit In the north of England , curious to know how a certain , Juryman arrived at his verdict , meetIng - Ing him oue day , ventured to ask : "Well , " replied he , "I'm a plain man and I like to bo fair to every one. I don't go by what tlio witnesses nay , and I don't go by what the lawyers sjy , and I don't go by what the judges say ; but I looks at the man In the dock and I fays , 'He must have done something or ho wouldn't be there , ' to I brings 'em all In guilty , " Of Tllti MOXVil.

Godkln In the June Forum In the title of his artlclo discussing the finances of proposed socialistic schemes. Mr. Godkln raises a good scarecrow in his query , for It Is hard to explain how to pay bills that have no existence , Socialistic schemes resolve themselves Invariably Into a process of co operative production and division of produce accordingly , hence there is no room for "bills. " If the total production were less than the total under present methods , why there would bo less to consume nnd human ity might go backward , but there would be no bills unpaid under any conditions. His method of discussing the relative merits of systems Is therefore under false colors , and Is misleading , and the article abounding In mlsstatemonts Is further propped by clover omissions. A similar contribution Is "Farm ers , Fallacies and Furrows , " by Hon. J. Sterling Morton , secretary of agriculture , In which the writer sheds huge tears over the fact that the farmer Is restricted from buyIng - Ing In the market In which ho sells. He forgets , evidently , that for every dollar sent abrcad ho kills a dollar's worth of home mar ket without Increasing his foreign market a nickel's worth. It's real y too bad Farmer- boy Morton can't bo permitted to kill the geese that lays his golden egg. The Forum Publishing Company , Union Square , New York. MAGAZINES RECEIVED.
