The success of the Ladles Guido
p.ssoelutton in London litis Induced the
starting of a. similar nrojoct in Now
Vorlt The matter has hoon talked
p.bout undlcssly in the nowspanors nnd
k 6ut of thorn for the Inst your or two , nnd
• two or three vounc women have even
cxporiinontod with it in a timid sort of
n way , but until within u fortnight no
ono has seized with any firm grip on
the opportunity Within n few days ,
liowovor , n clover Brooklyn woman ,
whoso nmno Is Mrs Ilardlo , has opened
n Lndios' Guido and Chnporon bureau
at ill Union square , says n correspond
ent of the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
"I brought my wife with mo on my
trip last springy said the head of a
western business house in conversation
recently
"Wo were here a fortnight , and I was
_ busy every day nnd occasionally In the
oven tag Molly sat in her room at the
hotel and concluded thut marrlago is a
failure
, lI have just had a houseful ot trucsts
from Ohio , " said the wife of a popular
clergyman
" 1 know they wore anxious to see the
{ f city , but my time was all full with pre
/ vlous engagoinonts , and I was posltlvoly
unable to go about with thorn If I
could have found nnyjiody to play
hostess for mo I should have been so
thankful "
The district messenger boy is the
usual resort of the timid woman from
out of town Ho nails for her at the
hotel and escorts her to the dry goods
toros That iB , ho goes skipping along
nhoad ether , particularly at crowded
crossings , leaving her to dodge the
horses bonds as best alio Is able , or else
bo loiters behind in cheerful converse
with other messenger boys
' The now idea Is to substitute the lady
guido for the messenger boy and fao
tinnny wotnon of education and refine
ment nro loft dependent on their own
( resources without any business educa
tion to help thom to a livelihood that it
is thought the evolution of ono more oc-
cuimtlon may provo a grout gain
I Mrs Ilnrdlo's plan is to furnish relia-
iblo and experienced women who nro as-
customod to shopping ana know the
( * ) | price of goods to attend the young brldo
-S I who has cotno to the city to buy her
f i trousseau , or the stranger of any ago or
condition who is not posted us to the
' . I 3'l1 * " "q tlt wliioli for the least money to
got the host things Young housekeep
ers , both town dwollcrs and country
people , often wish for a companion of
artistic , tastes to help thoin choose fur
nlturo and draperies , and the Bending
' out of experts to assist in the selection
of musical instruments is another
( scheme winch may * bear good fruit before
fore long
The Loudon bureau Iibb proved completely -
plotoly successful , but an important '
part of its work consists in sendinglady
guides with tourists to all points of in
terest , the guides being ongnged some
times by the week or fortnight to take
American women to Westminster , St
Paul's , the British museum and the
tower , such palaces and houses as nro
onon or can bo opened by the almighty
shilling , and to sea that they "do"
everything noteworthy in good style
Now York lias less u > offer in this di
rection , but i t is thought that ladles with
, soiiio knowlcdgo of pictures cun be sent
with Btrungors visiting the art gallarios
and museums , while ether ladies can
V take out of town visitors to Bodloo's
island to see the liberty statue , to Trin
ity church and to such lions as the city
counts among its attractions
Ono very practical fcaturo is to bo
the ongnglng of rooms at hotels for
women traveling alone Some hotels
will not take lone women without a
rocotuiuondntion , and in case if'ouo
tologrnphs ono has to tnko the chauco
of llnding the house full Another
plan is to ongngo seals for concert or
thcator by telegraph and to piovido
chaperons , if desired , - to accompany
ladies to places of ntnusouiont
Like the Ladies Now York club , just
organized , the comfort nnd convonionca
Of women is the end sought , and as
they are thrown moro nndmoroon their
own resources the sox feminine bc-
Coinos thoroughly nractlcal as to the
means Mrs Uardio is very bright
nnd busluoss-llko woman , who will
carry the project through to success , if

_ t. * An Algerian Wedillrm Feast
v A marrlago colobratlon in Algeria is
nn interesting relio of ancient customs
The bridegroom gees to bring the bride
and the guests assembled outside the
house wl.l wait for his coming Soon
the sound of pipes is hoard coming from
tho'HUinmit of seine neighboring hi.l ,
and thomnrrlngo procession approaches
the brldoffroom's house , says the Ladies
Homo Journal The wipers always
como llrst in the procession , then the
brldo niuflled up in a veil riding a mule
led by her lever Then comes a bevy of
gorgeously dressed damsels , sparkling
With allvorornnmont , utlor which the
friends o' the bride follow The pro
cession stops in irunt 01 tno onuo-
grooms house and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway Thd
pipers march oft on ono sldo whllo the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the inula ,
nnd holds her in his arms , The girls
iriendB thereupon throw onrth at the
bridegroom , when lie hurries forward
. and carries her ever the threshold of
Y his house
These ubout the door beat him with
ollvo branches , amid much lnughtor
In the ovouings , on bucIi occasions , the
pipers and drummers are called in , and
the women dance , two at n time , facing
each ether ; nor does u couple desist
until , panting and exhausted , they stop
nsldo to muko room for another The
dance has great energy at movement ,
though the stops are small and changes
of poaltion slight , the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally , But they
swing their bodies about with an aston
ishing energy and suppleness As
leaves flutter before the gala , so do they
vibrato to the music ; they shake ; they
shiver aud tromUo ; they extend quiv
ering arms , wave veils , and their minds
too in lost in the abandon and frenzy
of the dance , whllo the other women ,
looking on , encourage by their high ,
. piercing , trilling orios , which add to
jf the noise of the pipes and drums
* v An JrUU Indian Queen
* The Indian government is about
to , bo called upon to repay a sum
of 100,000 , which they have had in
their possession for several years , the
proceeds of a legacy leit the wife of ono
of the native princes who died Upward
of thirty years ago , says the Dublin
Frcotnnn's Journal The deceased lndy
wahan Irishwoman , who wont to India
some sixty yenrs slnco as a traveling
companion of two wealthy English
ladies During her stay in India she
attracted the notice or ono of the nntivo
soverigns and ho married her
The pair llvcl happily for upward of
thirty years , the wife having n soparnto
estate settled upon her by the Mahara
jah She died childless and loft nn will
Ilcr property was taken ever by the
Indian government , and it has remained
in their hands ovorsltico It was at the
time of her death 80,000 , but its value
his risen to close on 100,000.
The rolatlves of the deceased lady in
Ireland were in cnliro ignornnro of her
fate up till quito recently , whan they
learned it accidentally from a returned
Indian soldier The Inquiries which
have slnco been instituted have fully
established her marrlago with the
Indian prince The friends have also
assured themselves of the existence aud
value of the property
A. Hint r r YnuniGlrti
When your swocthcurt comes to see
you , dent ' bo foolish enough to conflno
your sveotness to him alouo Huvo him
in where all the rest of the household
are Lot the talk and the chatter and
the music nnd the playing of gnmes bo
in the homo circle Then the few mln-
utos that ho gets with you by yourself
will seem all the moro delightful , and
ho will think you the most loving little
crcaturo in the world , says the Ladles
Homo Journal Men are much moro
observant than they are credited with
being , nud the man worth * having as a
husbaud is the one who will apprcciato
your love for these of your own people
aud will see that , as you mnko a small
part in ono homo , you are becoming
adapted for the coutral figure in an
other
Never say that you dent exoccta man
to marry your your whole family Its
vulgar You do That is , if you nro a
good daughter and a loving sister You
want him to bo ono with you in sympa
thy and in jiiToction , and as you take his
nnmo , so you assume responsibilities as
far as his people are concerned You
two are the most to each ether your
love for each should bo the greatest ,
but you cannot isolate yourselves and
insist that you have no duties outside
your own homo , If you'do this you be
come narrow and selfish , and you are
quito too nice a girl for that So re
member when ho comes , this bride
groom of yours , that his heart Is bound
the tighter to you if the ribbon used to
hold it has written upon it in golden
letters , Love and consideration for
those at homo "
Oman's Sphere
Of course were always safe wolitically
As a fact , no amount of party organiza
tion among women would permit a
woman to bo elected president , says the
San Francisco Chronicle She may
sneak in as school director , but the
natural jealousy of the sox would beat
any woman who ever ran for any big
ollico All the women who voted for
her would call upon her , nnd , as she
could not possibly remember thom all ,
every ono she omitted to bow to when
she walked or drove out would work
against her like the mischief But the
sphere of women in the world is being
widened and defined , and the common
sense of the sexhowovor whimsical and
capricious they may bo , is guiding them
to the places where by nature they are
nest littou or course , some are littea
for ono kind of business , some for
another , but they are all fitted to keep u
home Some trlrls were doubtless predestined -
destined by nature to bo typewriters
and marry their oraployers A
pretty typewriter has not such
un easy time as may bo
supposed You see , if she gives the
clerk any encouragement she may bo
letting the employer slip , and it re
quires a good deal of discretion and
tact to impress the employer with her
• modesty and her sentimental worth ,
while she holds on to the cashier or tlio
booli-kcopcr. Women may not bo able
to manage a business , but they can do
bettor they can manugo the man that
nianugcs the business After all , there
is only ono woman's rite the weddiu g
ceremony
A Cynic at Fifteen ,
The day will doubtless corao when I
shall think I have found a man , but , if
so , I shnll deceive inysolf wofully , wrlto
Marie Bashkirtsolt in her journal I
can very well foresee that duy ; I shall
then bo blind I say this now whi le I
can see clearly But in that case why
live , since there is nothing but mean
ness nnd wickedness in the world ?
Why ? Because I am reconciled to the
knowledge that this is so ; because ,
whatever people may say , life is very
beautiful And becnubo , if ono does not
analyze too deeply , ono may live hap
pily To count neither on friendship
nor gratitude , nor loyalty nor honesty ;
to elevate onols self courageously above
the meanness of humanity , and take
Olio's stand between them and God ; to
get nil ono can out of lifo , and that
quickly ; to do no injury to ones follow
beings ; to mnko ones lifo luxurious and
mngnlllcont ; to bo independent , so far
as it bo possible , of others ; to possess
power yes , poworl no matter by what
moans ! this is to bo feared and ro-
spoctcd ; this Is to bo strong , and that is
height of human felicity , because ones
fellow-beings are then muzzled , and
either through cowardice or for ether
reasons will not seek to tear ono to
pieces
Is it not strange to hear mo reason in
this way ? Yes , but this manner of rea
soning in a younccronturo like mo isbut
another proof of how bad the world is ;
it must bo thoroughly saturated with
wickedness to have so snddohod mo in
so short a time , I am only llfteon

The Laws That Women Would Slake ,
That the tondoncyof astatogoverned
by women would bo to arbitrary and
sentimental legislation , can hardly ba
doubted Prohlbitioalsm in its most
extreme form would almost certainly

the Jannury Forum Possbly legisla

Mrs norbert M. Smith of this place
has hnd an Enoch Arden experience
which has turned out hotter than the
average , says a Birmingham , Conn ,
dispatch to the Now York Sun Several
years ago , whllo living in Bridgeport ,
she mot nnd married John Lulek Ho
was an oxcollcnt mechanic and worked
in the Wheeler & WTilson sowing ma
chine factory Their mnrrled lifo wns
happy until a daughter was born to
thom , nnd then Mr Luick became rest
less Plvo years ago ho loftUrldgoport
suddenly without notifying hla wife
where ho was going , nor did ho wrlto
to her She was leit with her daughter
to support She obtained work in ono
of the local factories and with her earn
ings eared for herself nnd child In com
fort Time passed , and , hearing noth
ing of her absent husband , she obtained
a divorce She was yet young nnd ex
ceedingly attractive , and when she mot
Herbert M. Smith of Birmingham a
mutual affectiou was awakened which
soon ripened into love and a marriage
followed
Christmas eve Mr and Mrs Smith
went to Bridgeport to spend the holiday
with Mrs Smiths mother Luicl : , who
had gone to a remote western city , get
ting into business and prospering , also
started for Bridgeport to hunt up his
wife and child He arrived Chrlstmns
morning , nud , having no knowledge of
the divorce proceedings , ho anticipated
a happy reunion Ho intended to tiiko
his wife and girl homo with him when
he returned , and place thom in a posi
tion of comparntivo ufllunnco Ho had
nodilllculty in finding the residence of
his former mother-in-law , and when ho
rang the boll the maid who responded
showed him into the room where Mr
and Mrs Smith and the family sat The
surprise to all was great , Mr Luick
wns introduced to his successor and they
shook hands in a friendly way Luick
did not got mad and tear nround , nor
did ho look sad und brokenhearted
Ho told his story and Mrs Smith told
hers Then ho spoke to Mr Smith ,
congratulating him on his marriugo
nnd wished the couple good luck After
eating Christmas turkey with his
friends ho invited his former wife to
take a walk with him , and , with her
husbands consent , she accoptcd Their
walk brought up at ono of the stores de
voted to Christmas goods , and Mr
Luick invited Mrs Smith to come in
und pick out a nice present She did
so , but before they came out ho had
loaded her down with gifts for herself
and his daughter This morning the
couple parted , Mrs Smith accompany
ing her husband back to his homo in
this place , nnd Mr L molt buying his
ticket for his far western home , where
ho says ho will remain
Perhaps wo hcrdic men dent have
an adventure , " said a cabby to a re
porter of a Boston paper The fun
niest thing that ever happened to me
was this : I got a passenger at the Al
bany depot ono nicht and drove him tea
a certain hotel He was a rich man , I
think , judging from his appearance ,
and before ho got into the cab ho
handed mo $1 and told mo to keep the
change Ho asked mo to go upstairs
with him and take some valises
When I got thom into the cab there
wasn't mucn room for unythiugolso I
went back to the room aud the first
words he said were :
" rGo in there ! ' pointing to a big
closet Ho told rae I'd find auothcr va
lise In there I wont in , nnd as I did ho
locked the closet door on me , and I was
a prisoner I hoard him go out and
shut the door , and then I begnn to kick
like a steer and to call on the bloke to
lot mo out In about twenty minutes
whoever occupied the next room called
the porter and I was lot out At llrst
they wanted to arrest mo as a thief , but
finally I convinced thom that I was all
right
The job was now to got my horse
and cab Going on to the street 1 asked
ditrorcnt drivers if they hud soon my
cab Ono cabman said ho had scon n
strango-looklng man for a cab driver on
a box driving into Bowdoin Square , I
got a cabman to drive mo to the square ,
nnd , sure enough , my cub was standing
in front of the Uevoro house The va
lises were in the cab , nnd the bloke who
had locked mo in the closet was in the
barroom trving to got a drink I wont
in and told him that-bo tried to do mo
up , and that ho hudn't succeeded , nud
that I wanted him to take his valises
Ho looked at me nnd snid I-was a fool :
that ho never saw mo before , and that
ho did not have any valises
"I tried to tell how it was , but ho
wouldn't have it As ho loft the bar
room he told mo he'd shoot mo if I
didn't keep away from him I got afraid
of him then , ns ho wns full , and I put
the valises in the Revere House The
lust I saw of the man ho was going
1 toward Howard 6treet.
"I didn't think any moro about the
matter , supposing ho would call for his
valises oyory day , but time wont by , and
the clerk at the Bovorn said nobody had
called for them Ono day I mot the inspector
specter of hacks and carriages , and I
told him about thom His eyes Opened
and said ho hnd boon looklnc for the
valises for a month They bclongod tea
a rich Now York merchant , and were
worth several thousand dollars , as tioy )
were filled with silks There was a
diamond brooch In ono that was worth
$2,600. Ho had corao to Boston to marry
a girl just outside the city , and was
loaded down with presents Ho got to
drinking on the way and probably had
an elegant jag on when I mot him Ho
did not know what ho was doing front
the moment wo began to take out the
valises until ho sobered up next day
"Of course , ho hadn't shown up to be
married , and finding himself without
hla four valises felt pretty sore The
marriage never came off IIo son t mo
a V for my honesty It wns wortli moro
than that to ba locked up as long as I
was "
During his stay of several months in

a visit to the Archduke Henry , on
which occasion the arohduko's consort ,
Baroness Waldock , and their duughtor ,
Baroness Marie , were introduced to his

In his marrlago the archduke had committed -
mittod such a breach of the traditional

Archduke Henry married Frauleln

DUnNlNQ DRIFTWOOD
IWtc York 7ikttpemt < nl
Before my driftwood firs I sit ,
And see , with every waif I burn ,
Old dreams and fancies coloring It ,
Aud folly's ' unlaid ghosts return
O ships of mine , whoso swift kcols clott
The enchanted sen on which they sailed
A ro these poor fragments only loft
Ot vain desires and hopes that failed I
Did 1 not watch from thom the light
Of sunset on my towers In Spain ,
And see , far off , nploom In sight ,
The Happy Isles I might uot gain I
Did sudden lift ot fog reveal
Arcadias vnlcs of song nud spring ,
And did I pass , with grazing keel ,
The rocks whereon the sirens slngl
Have I not drifted hard upon
The unmapped regions lost to man ,
The cloud-pitched tents of Prester John ,
The palace domes of Kubln Kabul
Did land winds blow from jasmin flowers ,
Where Youth the ngulcss Fountain fills ?
Did Love mnko sign from roso-blowi
bowers
And Gold from Eldorado's hlltsj
Alas I the gallant ships that sailed
On blind Adventures errand sent ,
Howo'or they laid their courses , faliod
To reach the haven of content
And of my ventures , these nlono
Which Love had freighted safely sped ,
Seeking n good hoyond my own ,
By cloar-oyed Duty piloted
0 marluers , hoping still to mcot
The luck Arabian voyagers met ,
And Hnd in Bagdad's moonlit street
Haroua nl Hnscbid walking yet I
Take with you , on your Sen of Drcnms ,
The fair , fond fnucles denr to youth
1 turn from all that only seems ,
And seek the sober grounds ot truth
What moUor that it is not Mnv ,
That birds huvo Down , and trees nro bare ,
That darker rrows the shortening day ,
And colder blows tun wintry air I
The wrecks of passion nnd doslro ,
The castles I no moro rebuild ,
May fitly feed my driftwood fire ,
And warm the bauds that ago has chilled
Whatever perished with my ships ,
I only know the best remains ;
A song of prnlso is on my lips
For losses which ore now my gains
Heap high my hourthl No worth Is lost ; '
No wisdom with the folly dies
Burn on , poor shreds , your holocaust L
Shall bo my evening sacrifice ! ,
Far moro than all I dared to dream ,
Unsought before my door I see ;
On wings of llro und steeds of steam
The worlds great wonders couio to ma
And holler signs , unmarked before , '
Of Love to seek and Power to save
The righting of the wronged and poor ,
The man evolving ftom the slave r
And lifo , no longer chnnco or fnto ,
Safe in tlio gracious Fathethood ,
t fold o'er-woarlod bunds nnd wait ,
Iu calm assurance of the good
And well the waiting time must bo ,
The brief or long its granted day * , ,
If Faith nnd Hope und Charity
Sit by my evening hearth tires blaza
And with thom friends whom heaven baa
spared ,
Whoso love my heart has comforted ,
And , sharing nil my joys , has shared
My lender memories of the dead
Dear souls who loft us lonely hero
Bound on their last , long voyngo , to whom
We , duy by day , nro drawing near
Where every burk hus sailing room
I know the solemn monotone
Of waters calling unto mo ;
I know from whence the nirs hnvo blown
That whisper of the Eternal Sea
As low my fires of driftwood burn ,
I hear thnt seas deep sounds lucroaso ,
Aud , fuir in sunnet light , discern '
Its mirage-lifted Isles of Peace
