of Noted Women ,
TIlBtory is full of Instances of women
whoso best qualities appear wlion these
whom they love are In trouble and dan
ger , and Mine , do Lcssops , the wlfo of
tbo vonerublo canal digger , once known
n the "great Frenchman , " furnishes a
new illustration of thin constancy.
She has from the outset assorted that
the man whom she loved and admired so
much as to marry him when ho was
nearly threecore , and to whom she has
Binco borne eleven children , could not
himself bo guilty of dishonesty. Ho has
been hoodwinked , nho says , which , con-
Bjdorlng the magnitude of the opera
tions , was not diilleult ; but he has never
sanctioned any of the plundering said to
bo BO conspicuous.
Mine , do Lessons is now urn-rounded by
her children at the chateau of La Ohcs-
naye , a hlstoi ical castle where the beau
tiful Agnes Sorol once dwelt. M. do
Lcsscps inherited the llttlo estate and
the chateau from his first wife , and for
nearly thirty years ho has spout his
vacations thoro.
Nearly a quarter of a century has
elapsed since the beautiful young Creole
bride aided her husband In doing the
honors of receiving at thin castle his
cousin , the Empress Eugenic ; but she is
Btill as fresh and blooming as In her
youth.
Yet nho has ono daughter who was
married two years ago , and aliothor who
is just ontorlng'upon her sixth year. Mine ,
do Lessens has been a model mother , nnd
gracefully as she discharges her func
tions as a hostess , both at the chateau do
la Ohcsnayo and at her handsome Paris
house in the Avenue Montaigne , the
forenoon of every day is devoted to the
cares of the incnugc.
Would it not bo wine if some exorcises
In the mysteries of money wore added to
the curriculum of every girl's studies ?
A boy flndu it all out by actual contact
with the public as soon as ho is out and
n part of it ; but a girl , bays Harper's
IJa/nr , may become a mature woman ,
Bin-hiking then through the habit of
long protection , and bo thrown on the
mercies of the world with her money to
fall the prey to the llrst cheat and co/on.
She Is taught at school the spectra of
the stais , and the map of Mars ; what
pity that she should not bo instructed in
the workings of life on the planet whore
fiho lives ! That a knowledge of the nature -
turo and meauing and care of money
should bo made a part of every girl's
education IH growing moro and mote evi
dent in this ago of enlargement and
prosperity , which puts money into the
liamis of so many women. And in the
coming century , the woman's century ,
ns it Is aliondy called , in which so many
women will bo workers nnd earners of
money , It is all the moro important , ii
order that they may bo neither hand !
capped nor too far outstripped , that they
should bo well instructed ns to business
movements and investments , that they
may bo directed in the right way before
they sot out to earn.
"The reason a man is so delighted bo-
cauHO the llttlo fatrangqr is a boy is not
because ho thinks his own HOX so far
superior to ours , but because ho knows
how much loss expense and responsibil
ity a boy's bringing up entails , " said a
pretty young mother to a Philadelphia
Times writer. "A girl Is a constant
source of anxiety from her cradle to her
grave. Of course , the training of a boy
likewise is a great responsibility to the
parent , but so many things are condoned
in the son that would foi over brand tlu
daughter that there is whore the grca' '
secret of the joy always expressed ut the
birth of a boy comes in.
"Then look at their clothes. A Jittle
boy has two or three suits , leather log'
gings , a little pea jacket and a Tain and
lie is just as well dressed as any of tin
other small nabobs in the neighborhood
You cannot if you try make him any'
thing moro than a stylish little chap ,
whoso clothes are of excellent quality
nnd numerous enough for his actual
wants. But n girl. Oh , dear ! Their
needs never cease. It is white drebse :
with needlework and white dresses will
lace ; China silk slips in all colors
sashes , mulTsdainty little cloaks , muuer ,
0119 hats , pins , fancy and expensive uu
dorolothcH and a hundred and ono llttli
fal lals thai are part and p.u-col of tin
fpminino wardrobe but which are neve
required for n boy.
"Then as they grow older the boy'i
expense decrcabcs. though the \\orri
mont increases. In a llttlohilo n
earns enough to buy his clothes at least ,
hut his sister grows more and moro expensive
pensive with every year. Unles
parents nro very rich it is no wonclo
they rejoice when they are bles.scd witl :
boys rather than girls to support. "
It is a matter of interest in common
women , artists and some mere men tha
n writer in the San Franeibco Argonau
has reduced a statement of the tests o
physical beauty to figures. A young
California woman of great personal at
tractions was Delected as typical of the
best looks among the members of her
BOX on the western seaboard. A Now
York girl of remarkable and typical
beauty was also .picked out nnd the
measurements of thoxo two alTord an
opportunity for interest ing comparison.

The pretty school teacher for n little
dlvertlbomont had asked her class for
the best original definition of "wife. "
nnd the boy in Iho corner hud promptly
responded , "A rib. "
She looked nt him reproachfully and
nodded to the boy rfith the dreamy eyes ,
who Heomod anxious to say bomething.
"Mtm'ti guiding tar and guardian

"The helpmeet , " put in n llttlo llaxen-

"One who soothes man in adversity , "
suggested a demure little girl.
"And spends his money vrhon he's

corner.
There was a lull and the pretty , dark-
eyed girl paid hlowly :
"A wife is the envy of spinsters. "
"One who makes a man hustle" was
the next suggestion.
"And keeps him from making a fool
of himself , " put in another girl.
"Homo one for u man to find fault with

"Stop right there , " said the pretty
school teacher. "That's the best defini

Later the sorrowful llttlo maiden
sidled up to her and asked :
"Aren't you going to marry thntlmnd-
some man who calls for you nearly every

"Yes dear " she "but with

When the Shercof of Wu/an married
, n English woman with a mind of her
wn ho courted the faith that actually
xjfell him. Ills imported wife declined
o live in the harem with the other
ponses of his highness , declined to bo-
, omo a Mohammedan , Insisted on bring-
ng up her children in the way she
.bought they should go , and in nil other
respects comported herself as the equal
f nor lord and master. The shot-oof
ilid not seem to mind it much , though
, ho lady's declaration of independence
ivas a severe trial to the other women of
household. A number of visitors to
Morocco have described the phases of
'amlly life , very unusual in Arab houso-
lolds. which this lady introduced , and
lie picture of the buxom , good-looking
ivonmti has adorned more than one peri
odical.
Now that the shcrccf has departed
his life and has been succeeded by the
son of ono of his native wives , an effort
s being made to deprive the English
ividow of a share in the old gentleman's
estate unless she adopts the faith of Islam.
She flatly declines to do this. If she
docs not como out ahead in the struggle
t will bo her first decisive defeat.

An ideal wedding dress was worn re
cently by Mile , do Guyon on the occasion
of her marriage with ono of the noblest
scions of the French aristocracy. It was
made entirely of plain white silk velvet ,
the short bodice being cut blouse-fashion
and fastened at the waist with some soft
folds of imperial satin. The slightly
puffed sleeves wore adorned on the
shoulders with two "jockeys" of old
guipure lace and a band of the same
fabric encircled the throat. A novel and
dainty way of disposingof the obligatory
orange blossoms were the four cordons
of buds and half-opened flowers inter
mingled with a few gieon leaves , form
ing straight lines from the waist to the
feet ; and the somewhat conruonplaco
wreath had been replaced byameio
pompon of buds fastening the long tulle
veil above the brow.

The people of Wyoming who permit
women to vote are apparently not in
sympathy with the English bachelor of
long ago , who got himself into a contro
versy on the subject of women's rights
with his vis-a-vis at dinner. After
proing and coning fcu1 a few minutes , the
lady asked , "Candidly , sir , why do you
oppose giving the franchise to women ? "
"You will excuse mo for saying it ,
madam , " ho replied , "but I have not
sufllcient confidence in their capacity to
conduct government affairs. "
"But what evidence of woman's men
tal inferiority to man can you advance ? "
persisted the lady.
* The bachelor thought a moment , and
then answered , slowly , "A simple fact is
enough to satisfy my mind , and that is
the frightful way in which they do up
their back hair. "
*
The fashion of a collarette of diamonds
mends close around the throat , with
ropes or strings of pearls below them
and falling some distance beyond the
waist , is very general this winter. At
the Assembly wide bands of satin and
velvet , some of them pulled and ruchcd ,
wore tied tight about the throat , and , it
must bo admitted , wore slightly sugges
tive of diphtheria or tonsilitls. Arti
ficial flowers in wreaths and garlands ,
which a few years since wore indispensa
ble to a ball gown , are nowhere to bo
scon now , and the youngest debutantes
are clothed in plain , severe almost ,
tailor-made velvets and satin. Still the
present style gives a picturesque effect
to a ball room , and the Empire gowns ,
witlv their balloon sleeves and straight
skirts , are becoming to a well made
woman who is neither angular nor ro
bust.

Millinery Is excessively smart just
now. Lace and fur add their richness
to many elegant hats and bonnets.
French bonnets of the niObt diminutive
si/o are made of rich-toned velvets ,
trimmed with silk guipure loco and
jeweled clasps and pins. Glace and pale-
tinted velvet capotes to wear far back
upon the head are edged with a roll of
fur and trimmed with iridescent passe
menterie , gem-sot arrows and feather
aigrettes. Some of the crowns of stylish
velvet round hats are studded with mock
jewels. A fiat Dircctoircbonnet has the
slashed crown of black velvet , lifted
hero and there to show a vivid green
lining. It is caught up with bunches of
imigonta-coloied roses , surrounded by
velvet leaves. The brim is ed < jed with
sprays of shaded velvet maiden-hair
fern , sparkling with bits of green glass ,
resembling drops of dew.
Mrs. Amelia E. Barr asks the North
American Review if some good and
thoughtful woman who died fifty years
ago could return to this world , what , in
our present life , would most astonish
her. "Would it bo , " says Mrs. Barr ,
"tho wonders of steam , electricity and
science ; the tyranny of the working
classes or the autocracy of servants ?
No ! It would bo the amazing develop
ment of her own sex the preaching ,
lecturing , political women ; the women
who are doctors and lawyers ; who loio
and win money on horses or in stocks
and real estate ; the women who talk
slang and think It an accomplishment ;
who imitate men's atttro and manners ;
who do their athletic exorcises in public ;
and , perhaps more astonishing than all ,
the women who make marriage the
cloak for much profitable post-nuptial
flirtation. "

Ladies In Denmark are continuously
widening their modes of earning u liveli
hood. Ono or two ladies are doing very
well ns consulting dairy chemists. Sev
eral ladies have either founded import
ant schools or taken over the manage
ment after their husband's death. Among
these schools are one or two which rank
with the best high schools and which
have the right of sending students to
Jhe universities. A Danish lady has
recently , Iwlng duly qualified , com

A unique feature of a recent Texas
bull Qght was the presence of a woman
bull fighter , who displayed great skill
in Welding the stool pointed flags and
great agility In getting out of the way
of the maddened animal. Not exactly
a womanly occupation this , but scarcely

the wounded brutes arc pierced and torn
by the sharp steel , aa gentle Spanish
hullo * have done for pastime through all
the centuries.

Fashion Notes.
Pink heather is now an extremely
fashionable table decoration , but it
comes exceeding high.
Buttons to match accompany many of
the now gimps and galleons for trim
ming coats and costumes. *
Men boast of their superiority to
women and yet when buttons fail they
will persist in wearing nails instead of
safety pins.
The Empire round waist , with bolt
fastened at the side by a buckle or
rosette , is growing in popularity. This ,
however , is only of countless favored
stylos.
Corded silk Is replacing satin for
bridal gowns , and coffee-tinted lace is
preferred to others. At weddings
bridesmaids appear oftener in bright
colors than in white or cream.
In Kansas City a band of bravo and
sensible women have pledged them
selves not to use , for out-door wear , any

Mrs. B How was it trimmed ? Mr. B.
Well , It had a cowcatcher in front , a
tailboard behind , a flower garden on top ,
a job lot of assorted ribbons all round.
You can easily make ono like it.
It has been said but surely it cannot
bo true that in Now York certain
young men have actually been paid for
their attentions to girls who would
otherwise bo partnerloss at the big balls.
Bias-cut double ruches or velvet ,
gathered with heavy buttonhole twist
twice through the center , trim the skirt
hems , neck , front and wrists , of line
wool , satin-striped , and plain or figured
bongalino gowns.
Though round waists' are the fad the
metal bolts of last summer have been
entirely superseded-by narrojv bias folds
of velvet finished nt the back with a
little trim bow with two pointed ends
standing stifily erect.
Long coats with high , full sleovs to
admit the hugo dross-sleeves , are an
ticipated for spring. The leading
characteristic of these coats , some of
which have already appeared on our
streets , is their flaring of the dress
worn beneath them.
Sleeves bid fair to attain the mag
nltude and magnificence for which they
wore noted in the reign of that royal old
maid. Elizabeth. In the old days these
formidable elements of the costume lent
themselves to all manner of caprice and
extravagance.
A violet girl was a pretty sight in a ball
room in Now York the other evening.
Her white silk gown had sleeves of
violet velvet , with the upper part of the
corsage composed entirely of violets so
cunningly c-cented with the veritable
violet odor that the illusion was verv
effective.
A bracelet , recently patented , fits the
edge of the cuff like a binding , or , for
evening wear , adjusts Itself and finishes
the rim of the glove at any point on the
arm with a selvage of silver or gold , as
desired. There are times when ono
feels that inventors , like immigrants ,
should bo restricted.

The most popular style of princess
gown for dressy wear is that which fits
like a glove about the waist portion and
under the arms , but is cut out low in the
neck , and worn with a gimp of some
other-fabric , to which are added sleeves
that are elaborately draped or puffed at
the top , and lit the fdWyurm very snugly.
Extremely chic , tJi ugh n terror to
the woman without H maid , is the
ixinsant's corsage of VMvot , laced be
mud and worn over n > iutll silk or crepe
chemisette. The now _ idea is to use
mock jewels ns n catch for the lacing ,
those appearing in impellent imitation
of sapphires , rubles , , garnets , emeralds
and moonstones.
The gown which Ml * * Rohan wears as
Letitia Hardy is a v V able antique of
the date of 11GO. which' she found in ono

On a New York elevated train the
other evening was n short , thin man ,
tanned evidently by exposure in the
tropics. Ho carried , covered with a
plaid gingham aproiir a curious old-
fashioned cage in w hipjrithei'o was a line
young , green parrot.
"This parrot , " ho f&Jd to a Tribune
man , "is a young birdj-iund ns you see ,
well trained. There Int'o two ways of
getting these birds , by trapping and by
catching the young bir/lsj in the nest. A
trapped bird is wild and it takes two
years to train it , for -'bites and lights
like n 'sogor. ' Thisi jyoung ono was
trained in twelve m tjhs. Every six
weeks I go to Vonozuetliv on a sailing ves
sel and try to bring back fifty parrots
with mo. The Indian's , jenteh them up
the Orinoco river , and whenever a vessel
comes into port thorosltt a lively scram
ble on the part of the natives who have
parrots or anything rise to dispose of.
The training of parrots is a regular busi
ness for many of the iwtlvep- the seaport
'
port towns of Venezuela' , and whenever
I have touched at the ports of Brazil or
Colombia I found it much tbn same , except -
copt the Brazilian parrots are harder to
got along the coast. Indians do nearly
all the trapping , far up in the interior.
"This parrot is for a friend of mine in
Forty-ninth street , to whom I have
promised one for two years , but never
could pick up a really line ono. When
I am in port I have so little time that I
have to take such birds as are offered ,
If I wore going to sell this ono I should
ask $10 , although my regular price for a
young bird is. % . That is what the bird
fanciers pay mo for them , and they cost
mo $4 ; that is what I paid for this ono
six weeks ago at La Guayra. Ho speaks
Spanish , of course , and swears like a
trooper in a dialect of Indian and Span
ish ; his last owners in the city of La
Guayra taught him all of the latest
slang they know. "
"Yes , " ho continued , " $ l is all I make
on ono of these parrots , while on a
trapped bird there is only about CO cents
to bo made. I buy them for S2 or $2.50
and soil thorn for 50 cents advance.
They got awful seasick on oven an ordi
nary voyage and require as much atten
tion as a sick baby , and many of them
got so lonesome when they are shut up
alone in the hold that they die of a
broken heart , it seems to me.
"Oh , how easy they die , " reflectively
sighed the man. "On ono trip I was
bringing up seventy flno parrots and
when wo wore only three days out they
began to take sick and die. The ship's
doctor said it Was a kind of infectious
pneumonia. At any rate , they all died
but two. That was a bad voyage for
mo. "
Cnpim's Prank * .
Many good stories are told of Cappa ,
the dead bandmaster. While a young
man at the musical academy ho formed
the acquaintance of a shoemaker , who
\\asa sort of seer in the little Italian
town. They wore together a great deal.
The shoemaker had a habit of playing
practical jokes upon his friends. He
made un appointment with young Cappa
to meet him at a certain tunnel in the
outer limits of the village at II o'clock
at night. Cappa went at the hour
agreed upon , but the only thing ho saw
was a figure in white which ho took to
bo a ghost and which jcnUsed him to run
back toward the academy as fast as his
legs would carry him. On his way hemet
mot a follow student , who told him that
the identity of the glwist and the shoe
maker was the same. Then ho hit upon
a scheme for returning ! fho joke which
had boon played upon him. Ho put on a
mask , got a brace of pistols and held up
the ghost for every Ottht it had in its
pockets. At the end , tyf the week the
young musician returned the purse
to the shoemaker , wit ] & word or two of
advlco about ghosts.
While ho was sorvlijin } the band of
an Italian regiment liuiimd three other
young soldiers lot thongs/rives down out
of the windows of thoiiM'ooms by means
of a rope in order to itffy'nd a masquer
ade in the town. At tub-ball the colonel
of the regiment recognized Cappa , despite -
spite his mask , by means of his spurs.
"Tho next time you want to disguise
yourself , Cappa , you hud bettor take off
your spurs , " said the grim old officer.
"A true soldier is always in his boots , "
answered the young fellow.
"That remark saved you a week In the
guardhouse , " replied the colonel.
Mrs. Julia Llnthicum of Now York
was loft , at the death of her husband ,
.sixteen years ago , with u 2-year-old
daughter , and without money. Though
a lady born and bred , and bclpnging to

protests of friends , to ojioii n laundry as
u means of self-support. After consider
able dllliculty , she scoured the contract
to do all the work for the Pullmans , and
her laundry has grown until she lias the
work of several steamship lines.
