A four-hours' ' scnnco tit a Parisian inodlsto ,

woman's patience niid her determination to
hiivo things Just right , Her fancy lit present

TWO LRIDCIM or rAIUSIAN
If a French woman Is Inforincid that the
Duchess d'Uzcs or Princess do Sngnn has had
costumes like this , and that they stood with
out a complaint wliilu they were pinned nnd
basted , then she feels that she has made n
success. These two women , more than any
others In society , set the stamp on special
fashions , and each is as eccentric as possi
ble. The Uuchcsso d'Uzcs Is said to bo a
direct descendant of Louis XIV. and Madame
do Montospan , and this may account
for some of her eccentricities. She Is
devoted to hunting , and Is said to possess the
finest pack of stag hounds In Franco , while
it Is announced that she can dr-o : a four-ln-
haml with ns much art ns nny man. 1'rln
cess do Sagan is a little different , being es-
Biintlally a woman of the world nnd , what is
more , n most charming hostess. Her. cos
tumes are the delight of Paris , for when she
is driving , the smallest shopkeeper , out for a
holiday , feels a personal pride In her and her
appearance that it is us odd as ills admlr-
' ublo.
now ntnxcn WOJIBN nnr.ss.
Tlio French women , moro than any o thors
In the world , know how to dress , to drive ,
nnd to make themselves things of most ex
quisite beauty. The rage for" heliotrope still
continues , and , rouHCipucntly , Madame , out
for the purpose of seeing nnd being seen , Is
gowned in a velvet and wool combination ol
this exquisite shade , has sllK stockings nnd
low shoes to match , her gloves are of the
same pale color , and on her hrud is a crownless -
less bonnet formed of heliotrope and crepe ,
nnd with a Jet crescent standing above a knot
of the crepe Just in front. Hur parasol is
formed ( if frills of heliotrope crepe ,
nnd the fun in her lap is a sheer one
of heliotrope gauze with sticks of
limber. His Just such a symphony in costume -
tumo ns is only seen In 1'uris , and only worn
nerfoctlv by a French woman. Although
nundrcds of eyes are looking at her , she is
utterly and absolutely unconscious , Her bow
to an acquaintance Just passing means the
giving of n smile , which In its-elf is a perfect
salutation. Do you suppose that madamohas
paid for that frock what an American woman
wouldl Certainly not. And In gcttingevcry
iidjunct toll nut only the color , but tbo cost
bus been carefully considered. Tlio French
woman Is tlio queen of llntinclcrs , and though
hlie may love dross , she deus not commit the
frightful extravagances which are credited
* to her. Those she leaves to the members of
the demi-mondo those ladies of whoso exis
tence slio is always beautifully ignorant , hx-
copt when she is dl.scusslng their gowns with
her most intimate friend.
Tim cnio or A riiuxcii DOXNIJT.
I could always sympathize with the woman
who sold her shoes that she might buy n
French bonnet , for if you hnvo ever had nny
doubt on the subject before , you know now
that milliners nro born and not made , and
that they can only como from this country of
sunshine. An English or an American bon
net is too often ovcrtrimmed , and the French
one scorns to have been thought out for you.
and you begin to wonder If the milliner had
sonuiBort of outlook Into the future , know
you were coming , nnd knew Just what you
would want. Delightful chapeaux of soft
crepe , dccprutcd with flowers or Jets or gold ,
are most in vogue ; u typical onu Is of pale
yellow crepe , without a crown , and Just in
front is a golden buttcrlly poised us if for
flight , and having eyes ot tiny emeralds. I
never knew butterflies had oycs before , at
least I didn't know Just where they carried
them , and oven now I don't know whether
these nro proparly placed. Tlio tics are of
k-J .black velvet , and the bonnet Is worn very far
forward , BO that little of tlio bang shows.
TUB rilCXCIl WOMAN' IS IIUHIXIIHS.
The French woman Is the power In Franco
la the business as well as In the social worlit ;
in the middle classes she really directs how
the moncv shall bo Invested , she looks after
he la nnd outgoing of the francs , and ahu is
always deferentially treated by all the people
in her husband's employ. In the higher
classes she bears the secrets of the Ilourso ,
or of the ministry , and she knows whoso in
fluence is worth gaining to assist her hus
band In his schemes. Shu usually obtains
what she wishes. In the literary world she
is queen , and , differing In this from the ISng-
lisli woman of tlio sntno typo , she Is well
dressed nnd prides herself on beluga good
hostess.

Among this sot is the writer known as
"Gyp , " really the Viscontess do Mnrtcl , a
most charming nnd brilliant woman , while
Miidnmo Kdinoml Adam Is so well known
that ono can any nothing of her except that
with the years she seems to have grown
younger and more attractive. French women
write about subjects seldom touched by those
of other nations ; they give positive opinions
nbout vital questions of the day , marring ® ,
divorce , tlio education of children , the con
dition of tlio poor , and the rights of the work
ing people , nil being discussed by them , nnd
their opinions expressed in the boldest way.

Frenchamn does over his chore undo. That
tdio should bo tlio best dressed , that her
equipage should attract the most attention us
she drives around the lake , and that she
tibould be known as under his protection Is
* Ms delight. Oddly enough , although she
doesn't say so , his wife occasionally takes
prldo hi this. No wonder everything
Is quoted as "lln do sieclo. " A
bright man told me the other night ,
apropos of v > omen till over the world , that if
ho wanted a companion ho should seek an
American , if n wife an English woman , and
if a mother a French woman. Certainly they
are good mothers , mid the love existing be
tween mother and child Is Invariably strong ,
while the French mail's belief In the rights of
a mother is shown in tlio way laws aw framed

Americans ! Yes , they nre hero. The
ones seeking social recognition , others seek
ing whom they may marry. It is not a par
ticularly creditable state of affaire , but the
American mot everywhere Is really In search
of one of these two things. In London tdio Is
trying to buy her way with money. In I'arls
she Is trying to buy Influence with money.
This is n distinction with a difference. She
feels that In London the can otter her dollars
in the crudest way , stating what she wishes
nnd how much she will glvo for it. Here
more euro must bo taken , und to get the Inllu-
cnco of u huly from Faubourg St. Ourmuino

The greatest kindness that ono can do for
ill other American women when one I
nbro.nl Is to try and .convince foreign man
kind Hint lliero nro hundreds of lovely women
on the other side who do not liavoto go out to
seek husbands , but who stay nt homo and re-
fusato nccopttnany who are offered , eligible
though they may b ? . It Is natural for them
to judge all by the ono tyjio , nnd until you
cannot Imagine how entirely dUgustlng Is
the woman with nn eye liken wolf on some
man and n determination oxproised In her
compressed lips to have her daughter Intro
duced to him. No wonder the great dread of
the French mother Is that her young daugh
ter may bo like lid * , for nuturnlly she scei
little of the other type.

Although this is the end of the nineteenth
century , mid traveling around the world Is
not difficult , you will yet find people even In
Paris \vlio think an American Is first cousin
Loan Indian ; who believe wo never get any
thing good except when wo como hero , and
that we live In a barbarous state all the rest
of tlio year ; who have an idcn that when we
want an afternoon's recreation wo ride over
to Salt Lake City and take tea with the Mor
mons , and who think that If wo are us de
cently mannered as wo seem to bo it Is be
cause there were some French mon sent over
hero when the country was In Its early youth.
Funny , Isn't it ? When you start out with
not very much money in your purse and you
nro bring things homo to everybody , don't bo
beguiled into doing your shopping hero.
You can get the most fascinating of fans , the
daintiest of purses , but for most everything
else you get better worth for your money in
London. This Is a spoonful of experience of
fered to the general woman.

To bo as good a hostess at a dinner party as

To have as ardent a respect for the powers

To lie as devoted a mother as is the French

And yet , after all. If I Irul to winter and

I should say give mo tlio American , for she is

washed out , und the southern section Df the
city , where the streets nro higher than the
abutting property , was Hooded as usual.
The vicinity of Twentieth and Clark streets ,
where there are several low lots , w.is flooded
to the depth of several feet. The vicinity of
Twenty-sixth avenue , south of Dodge , was
Hooded by the blocking- of the sewer.
Tlio street railway people report very little
trouble on their lines. In several places mud
accumulated on the tracks , but was removed
early in the day.
The tracks of the Fremont , Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley railway company at the
Locust street crossing wore covered with
mud to the depth of a foot , but it was discov
ered and removed before any damage re
sulted , Tbo Bnino company reported high
water covering Its tracks at Mills , near Calhoun -
houn , but no delay was caused.
Yesterday morning , ns one of the delivery
wagons of Carpenter it ( ioddnrdgrocers doing
business at filS South Sixteenth street , was
being driven along Seventeenth , street be
tween Jackson and Lcavenwortli the paving
suddenly gave way and the horse drawing
the wagon sank through mud and paving
material up to his back. Ho was extricated
with difficulty , but uninjured. The washing
out of mi old sewer was the cause of the
accident ,
There Is nn extensive washout of the

Somowhcro In the forties Grlsl and Jenny
Llnd were singing in different plnce ! in Lon
don. Thojo who vent into ccstaeles over
Urisl's Normaworo the nnxtovcnlnjj cnnip-
lured with Lind's "Casta Diva. " Great was
the rivalry between them.
Finally Queen Victoria deeming It n shntno
that such gifted wotnon should ho scp.iritcl
by n mean , unworthy Jealousy , requested
both to appear at a court concert. O f course
they both cnmo. The queen warmly wel
comed thorn together for the first thno , She
gave the signal for the concert to bo m.
Jenny Llnd was tlio younger , and It wai
arranged that she should sing llwt. With
perfect conlldcnce in her powers she stepped
forward to hegin. Clrinclng to glnnco at
Orisl she saw the southern woman's nuillg-
nant t azo fixed on her. Tuo llorco look
almost paralyzed her.
Her courage left her , her voice trembled ,
everything grew black before her nnd she
almost fell. IJy the greatest exertion of her
will , however , she managed to finish her nrU.
A [ viiiful silence followed its conclusion a
lleneo that told bar of her failure. She
caught n triumphant expression on Grisl's '
face ,
Uespito her dazed condition she quickly re
alized that falluco meant lost glory , disap
pointed hope , the destruction of happiness ,
grief and mortification to her family nnd
her friends. Suddenly n soft voice that
seemed to como from heaven whispered to
her : "Shut ono of your old tongs in your nn-
tlvo language. "
She caught at tlio thought like an Inspira
tion. U'ho accompanist was striking his llnal
chords. She stopped up to him , asked him
to me and tootc the vacant scat. Softly her
fingers wandered over the keys In a loving
prelude , then she sang. It , was a little
prayer which she had loved as n child ; It be
longed to her mother's repertory. She hadn't
sung it for years. As she sang she was no
longer in the presence of royalty , but singing
to loving friends in her fatherland.
No one present understood ono word of the
"prayer. " Gradually the song died away
and ended in n soft sob.
Airniii thcro was n silence the silence of
admiring wonder. The audlenco sat spell
bound. Jennie Llnd lifted at lust her sweet
blue eyes to look Into the scornful face that
had so disconcerted her at first. There wis
no fierce expression now ; Instead n teardrop
glistened on the long black lashes.
After a moment , with the impulsiveness of
n child of the tropics , Grisi crossed to Jennie
Lltia's side , placed her nrm nhout her and
kissed her warmly , utterly regardless of the
admiring audience.
Why Iliiinlct tt'ns N'ot Mud.
To milto Hamlet mud would ho to violate a
dramatic law that Slmkcsponre himself cre
ated and most carefully observe * through nil
his plays , vl/ . : contrast in chnractor , writes
James K. Murdoch In the Forum. Poor Tom's
deceit is the foil to Lear's madness ; so , con
versely , Ophelia's madness is the foil to Ilnm-
let's ' feigning. Ophelia Is mad in fact , I lain-
let but in craft ; and to make the madness of
both a reality would bo to duplicate typos , n
fault the genius of the great dramatist could
not allow Him to commit. Melancholy indeed
he is , but not mad , nor is ho thought so by
any about him. lie is on ono of the approaches
preaches to tlio Insane state , but no further
on tlio way than is necessary to ( 'ivo color to
the change when made , and not far cnouirh
for tbo icing to connect it with his father's
death. What can bo more conclusive evidence
of uniilty ( thouRh vexed by mental complexi
ties and physical perturbation ) than Hamlet's
words to Horatio to set him right In the eyes
of the world to toll Ids story how ho wns
enjoined , by the dread visitation of his
father's ghost , to avenge his murder ; how lie
had put on the antic disposition to cover his
real designs ; how ho had Blulu 1'olonlus by

and his own death closing the eventful his-

Dramatists and Their Howard.
It is asserted that Mr. Broi.son Howard has
received as high as $ ) ,800 in ono week on roy
alties from the two companies playing "Shen-
andoah. " This statement is deceptive. Mr.
Howard is not p.dd in royalties ; ho has a
direct interest in the property and is paid a
percentage. So fur the play has yielded him
nearlySM,0K ( ) . Mr. Howard's agent says :
"Young dramatists want to kojp their eyes on
these ligurcs. They brighten the vistas
down which struggling authors ara always
looking for the coming of fortune. It means
untold wealth for thorn , It they write the
right kind of a play. It must bo another
'Sliunandoah. ' They must tnlcu Uronsoii
Howard's masterpiece for their model nnd
try to do something Just as good at least. '
Tills , of course , comments the Chicago Jntor-
Occan , is sheer nonsense. Mr. Howard , un-
doubtedlv Is a good model to follow , but bet
ter plays than "Shcnandoah" have failed ut
terly to make fortune for their writers , and
many just as good have yielded but n modest
Incoinc. The thing for the young dramatist
to lament Is his Inability to get his play pro
duced on sharing terms by n shrewd und en
terprising manager , Mr. Howard's ngcnt
must not forget "Held by the Enemy , " the
protypo of "Shcnanilouh. "
love on the Stiric.
Mr. Kyrlo Bellow , now with Mrs. Potter
In Australia , was recently asked by a Melbourne -
bourne newspaper man his opinion regarding
tlio way in which different Knglish actresses
made love before the footlights. Kvrlo
readily responded : "Well , " said ho , "Ellen
Terry comes at you a mixture- the aatelopo
and tbo gnu. She's soft , easy , velveteen-
like nnd catchy. Mrs. IJornard-Becro you
have to look after. She comes rushing at you
like a panther , and If you don't look but you
go head over tip , or wicn you recover there's
vour watch hanging out , nnd tlio people
laugh. If you ain't the mash , they're care
less. Booth , as Othello , couldn't at all grab
Kllcn Terry as Dasdemona. Von must learn
beforehand whether tlio actress Is leonine ,
tlgrino , Icopardino or lynxiuo. Past time ,
un prepared for , may capsize you over a set
tee , hcols uppermost , and how do you look !
On the other hand , the slow-timers dutch
like limpets , or octopl , and spoil your biz.
They will catch your eye , and that moans
robbing you of all Its magnetism on the
stalls. You want a good biceps , stiong elbow ,
good piano-string lingers. If an actress grip }
you , you're lost. You're not oven second lid-
die. She's all the orchestra. "
Ununrtalnty About hang try ,
Differing reports como to hand concerning
the Jersey Lily. Ono that her London sea
son has been u most disastrous failure , Unit
her old friends hnvo forsaken her and that
health has completely broken down. Another
that her dlscaso is pleurisy and nn operation
will have to bo performed. A third , that she
has disbanded her company , nnd the London
papers think it very doubtful If she Is over
able to again appear on tlio stngo. She Is 111 ,
friendless , but fortunately not in want. On
tlds peculiar showing , a Chicago paper says :
"Although Mrs. Langtry's Illness is deeply
regretted the drama will lose nothing hy her
retirement. It Is a pity that she ever at
tempted to act. " A very trite remark , but It
came too lato. It ought to have been made by
tlio press and reiterated when the people of
the United States had tin-own themselves at
her substantial English feet. As a pendant
to the nbovo report , comes Inter the following
commonplace and buslncss-llko statement :
"According to her present programme Mrs.

It Is now Kcnerull.V conceded that Mr ,

Dead Heart" promises to equal , If not tosur-
pass , the success ho achieved by "Monto
Crlsto. " All the scenery , costumes and
stage properties i. * uses originally belonged
to Henry Irving and were purchased from
him. The present engagement in Chicago
has exceeded e.xiHVtiitions nud has been
twice extended , It lias Just closed to good
business. The contradictory feature to bo
observed In the profession , Just now , it may
bo added , Is that while some of its members
nro inclined to pooh-pooh work by old
dramatists as rococo and without Interest of
drawing strength , others with moro sagacity
take it up and make fiuno und fortune by the
venture. Hooth , linrrett , O'Neill , Fred
Wurde , Marie Wrlnwright , Louis .Tamos ,
Marie Prescott nnd others illustrate this
remnrk. The old worlds all right. What
Is wanted Is the modem actor who can rise
to the author's plntio and interpret his Ideas.
