The youth who Is curoful to salute his lai1 friends and acquaintances according to tl usages of good society Bouiotlmes scorns < forcet to pay tlio sumo respect to his alste not because ho is wanting in affectionate r Kuril , but because ho has grown so familh with her that it BCCUIS awkward to him \ treat her in any formal way. Yet when 1 meets her In company ho should , out of coi uldurutlou for her , bo imnkodly palito nnd a loiitivo. Although politeness uocessarll follow * lo a pi cut extent sot forms , it shou ! huvo its origin In affection for the Individuu or , In a inoro gonoinl way , in oonsiderutlc for others. Politeness in society bctwec acquaintances or friends is demanded by cu tout , Tlioro is no need to remind rcade ; that it should bo exhibited. Politeness nt homo nnd between near relatives , oven bo- twccn husband nnd wife , though of much more importance In every way , is not o ob viously necessary , and is too often neglected. Gentlemen of what is known ns the "old school" were nnd are scrupulous In the ob servance of pollto society toward their wives nnd other female relatives and In the homo circle , but later generations seemed disposed to treat relatives with less formality and re spect than Is habitually shown to strnneers and acquaintances. The tendency should bo resisted , however , nnd every encouragement given In the homo circle to an observance of the rules of pollto society , modified only by n spontaneous exhibition of that greater affec tion which exists between the members of a family group. _ The Western Art Association.

Would heart of man once think ill Indus try has positively como to bo tlio fashion ; nnd now the average girl of society takes pride in earning or ut least In the appear ance of earning a reputation after marriage , not only for a well-conducted household , but for serving in the most tempting and scieu' title style n woll-cookcdwoH-soloctod dinner. She does not always know very much about sowing , unless , Indeed , she has been educated In n convent school ; but she pricks her fin ger , irritates it with a thimble and works iway on the petticoat tor the hc.ithon all dur- ng Iho Lenten weeks , and at Easter she an- lounccs her engagement to the young mil- lonairo , who was charmed nt her industry tnd who remembered that Ins mother told ilm not to fall in love with n ; irl who hnd not housewifely in stincts. Now , this may have been tlio first bit of sewing she lias ever done , but you may bo very certain of ono thing , and that is , that having once iound her cue she is going to bo wise enough to manugs il [ ) i operly. She is by no means Riven to letting ting her husband know her weaknesses , anc piovidod she makep his homo pleasant , gives liim good dinners and is always u credit tc liiui , ho is not likely toi nvcstigato the sow ing department , and she is not in the leas ! likely to toll of her own shortcomings In that respect. _ Flrrinaii'H Ball.

The splendid exploit of the ofllccrs of the Missouri in taking off inoro than seven hun dred pcoplo from the sinking ship and landIng - Ing them safely makes i ; evident that the chlof hope for n steamer disabled in mid- ocean is to got into a route where she will be sighted by other steamers nblo to carry lie : HvlnL' freight says the Now York Herald. If an understanding existed among trans atlantic steamship companies that their vcs- less would , ut least In the stormy months , follow definite routes varied , of course , tc suit the changes of iho seasons the Nortl ; Atlantic would bo robbed of half its perils Just ns the safety of travelers crossing the Sahara is immensely increased if they Kcer in the regular caravan route , equally wouh the safety of lifo nt sea bo Increased If the great steamship fleets adhere to definite anc advertised routes , It is to bo hoped that the International Marino conference , which meats at Wash ington In October , will earnestly considei the Importance of this suggestion , The Her ald tins inoro than once proposed that there should bo at intervals of ten degrees certain defined crossings in the transatlantic routes to which all passenger steamers should agree to approach in each passage near enough t < sight any vessel at the crossing. A dl sablci vessel , by making for ono of these crossings , would thus in u fgw hours bo overtaken by ono or inoro powerful stotuushljj ? . Possibly this plan of "roliof nre.is" would entail less delay on steamers generally than the adop tlon of the "lane" routes. I'oylne n They Oo.

A pair of handsome diamond necklaces ihat are owned by Miss Sliopard , being a gift from her parents , are worth $10,000. Mrs. .lohn L , Gardner has $75,000 worth ot diamonds , rubies und precious .stones.

Miss Hattie jilaino , is homo for tlio holidays , says a Washington letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Miss Hattie Blaine is in deed exceptionally pretty. She has a complexion of robes and lillies and the roses are exquisitely tinted. Her face is beautiful. It is a softly louncled oval in shape , and her eyes are largo and expressively blue. Miss Hattie Blaine will bo a , debutante hero next winter , and ono nundred to ono that she'll bo a belle , with a following the like of which has not been seen hero for many days. A lady , well known in the fashionable world of Now York and Newport , who is at present vibiting San Francisco , said , according to the Examiner of that city , when asked about the betrothal of an American professional beauty. Miss Jennie Chamberlain , to a captain in the English army : "I think the story is true. C.iptain Laylor Leiland is a man of good family , who was formerly in the Ninth Lancers , a crack regiment. Ho is not a man of wealth , but Miss Cham berlain lias a competency , inherited , erin in prospective , from her grandfather in Cleveland , O. Miss Chamberlain made her mark in bociety very rapidly. She went from her Cleveland homo to Newport - port in the summer of 18SO or 1881 , and signalized herself by appearing at a morning lawn tennis p.irty in a costume of purple velvet. A friend hinted that her taste needed correction , and being a girl of sense , she took the suggestion in good part and adapted herself to the fashions of her now acquaintances. The next season she visited London , became conspicuous in the prince of Wale's sot and has since shone as a bright , partic ular star at London , Pais , Ilomburg and other fashionable resorts. Her match with Captain Leiland will disap point her friends , who expected a cor onet for her at the very least. The opera glac.sos at the Chestnut street opera house were frequently turned last night from Cleopatra to box A , occu pied by a largo , handsome , open-faced , jolly-looking gentleman with a sandy mustache and a comely lady in a light blue costume , says tno Philadelphia In quirer. Tlio lady was Edwina Booth , the tragedian's daughter , and the gen tleman with her Charles Grossman , her husband. Mr. Grossman is a Boston broker and a millionaire. They have palatial residences at Newport and Bos ton. Her father made her a probont of $100,000 when she married him a fcrw years ago. She is his only daughter Mr. Gross-man and his wife nro on their way to Washington. Mrs. Grossman had been staving with her father in Now York during his illness , and they parted on Sunday night. In con verna tion with friends' who greeted her in the box , she bald that Mr. Booth appeared BO well when she left him that no ono could toll ho had boon ill. The society woman depends greatly on luxurious bathing to renew her strength , says a Now York letter to the Kansas City Journal.

Tlio daughter of Senator Ingallf writes as follows to the Now Yorli World ! Among other interesting visi tors Washington entertained during the last fortnight was Mrs. Amolit Itivos-Chanlor\vho stopped heio on hci way to her homo in Alhomarlo , Va. A an informal reception given to her bj her cousin , Mrs. William Caboll , among others had the pleasure of meet ing the now Btar in tlio literary Hrma menu I could not fcco tun * from when I sut as she entered , but while wuitin ) ny turn for presentation I thought of all , statuesque woman with a head ? crowned with the rare auburn lockfl so ovcd by Titian , for this was the Im- ire < < sli > n 1 had received ot her from vhat I had read ot this far-famed Vir ginia beauty. I have scarcely recov ered from tno surprise I o.xporioncoil vlicii I saw her , and I was in doubt for omo tlmo as to whether I was not bo ng imposed upon. Nearly ovorythitifj hnvo read aoout her seems to bo a complete contradiction , or else she lin- ircBsod mo differently. In the first ilaco she is short , with a pretty flguro , and her hair is yellow. Her eyes is her nost'notleoablo feature , and she alone s the power to describe them. riiey are dreamy , unfathomable oycs ' shaded by such long , curly , davk nshea that their color Is lost. Jonenth their brows they shine outliko irollies , yet betraying a nnturo tondoi * mil sympathetic. Every feature is ox- iressive. , llor mouth is as sensitive as i child's waiting to cry or to smile. Whether speaking or listening , every omotimf ligjits her face. It is said that she is dramatic and self-conscious , I saw no trace of either during the mo- nonts I watched her and talked with mr. For everyone who was presented 0 her she had a pleasant greeting , and n her speech she was not at nllatTcutod. Could yon have heard , as I did , her conversation with two young girls. , you vould not have recognized in her any thing theatrical. Her horse , "with its ; roat , knowing eyes , " her much-loved jollio , tno long , ilroamy rides through ho old Virginia hills , and her girl riends were the subjects which aha alked about as simply as any child. I iskod her when she worked , and she said : "In the silent night hours , when everything is still. 1 cannot work in , ho daytime ; I want to bo out in the rosh air. " Her next book will bo called "White Slaves , " the plot being aken from ovory-day life. This will lot bo completed for two years , as bho s going abroad soon to bo gone a long time.

Miss Sallie lltirgous is a pronounced immotto , somewhat , pallid of face , with urge eyes of a deep violet , shaded with swooping , coal block lashes , and a wenltli of soft , wavy hair , says the Now York Epoch. She belongs entirely to the Spanish order or beauty , wherein she dilTors from Miss Wright , who is mroly Scandinavian. Miss Hargous 13 lot tall , yet anything but short ; not thin , yet anything but stout , Her shoulders are round and shapely as , hose of the Vonnsof Milo. Her llgiito , In a word , is perfection. She inherited 00,000 from nor father , who made his "pile" ' in Mexico , yet she is noted for the unprotontiouhiicgS of her manners and the simplicity of her frocks , and it she dances a trilio slower than the rest she is none the less graceful , She is unquehtionnhly the belle of the season , and although it is her first season she das already refused borne seven dilTor- ont oll'ors of marriage. She is also the 'sister of "Bobby , ' ' and will have soon two decadcb of life on her next birthday. Before closing this loiter your cor respondent must not forgot to describe ) 1 girl boomer , who is located on a claim near the old bite of Ewing City , says an Oklahoma correspondent of the Kansas City Times. Miss Nellie Bruce is the daughter of an old boomer. For years her father has boon a boomer , but Nellie lie has been tent to school until a short time ago , when she taught a torni of bchool in a Kansas district. Several months ago her father built u neat framojiouso out on a claim near the old Jack Wantland horse corral and then sent for his daughter. The day before Nellie arrived some Indian scouts found old Bruco's house and burned it down. When the girl arrived the poor old man with tears in his eyes told her of the destroying of his little homo , but that girl was clear grit , and she sho\ved her nerve by getting out and going to worjc. She located a claim , dug out a homo in the side of a hill , and there f > ho lives , surrounded by a Hook of chickens , a couple of dogs , and armed with a couple of largo-si/.od revolvers , silo is holding the fort. She is the idol of all the boom ers , and any disrespect shown to Nellie Bruce will bo aiibworablo with death. Probably there is no man in the United States who enjoys a more exten sive acquaintance with working mem bers of his party than Mr. Clarlcson , says a Washington letter to the Phila delphia NOWH. But tlioro is another person in this room who knows almost as many politicians as C'larkson. Thcro are women who have a gift for music , poetry , painting , society ; Mrs. Clar soii has an aptitude for politics that amounts almost to a gift. Thcro is no more popular woman among the politicians ot the country than sho. They all know and admire hor. Probably she knows a greater number of political secrets than any other woman in America , and holds them closer. Tiiat a woman can keep a secret is well exemplified in hor. She is a line representative of that admira ble class of American women who ac company their husbands everywhere , share their labors and conlldoncos , and shed over the activities of business or political life the light of a woman ? o sympathy , cheerfulness and rollnomcnt. MrH. C'larkson has been among poli ticians all her life. With her husband she has attended three or four national conventions and has been prebont at many of the innumerable conferences hold in their rooms. When Mr. Clark- son wont to Now York last summer to labor in the national committee as a campaign manager MM. Clarksoii ac companied him. No secrets were kept from her and none were ever lost through hor. In Iowa she is known and loved by all the politicians of the stato. They go to her for counsel in politics or lovo. So as she sits here for an hour in her hiiBband'a olllco public men by the hundred , statesmen , orators , men of Biiccobs in politics and law , eagerly grasp her hand. In her politics , ns in tier husband's , tlioro is no bolllslinoaa , They are gvor assisting ethers , never seeking for themselves , She in entitled to a pJaoo with these other American women politicians , Mrs. Logan , MrB. McDonald of Indianapolis , and Lady Randolph Churchill of England. Like them she has mixed with politicians without losing any of her womanly grace and BweetnobS. Sim has , too , reared a family of boys who .arc sure to brini , ' honor to their parents and win Buccubs for thombclvos. A "JUne.
