The royal wedding in London is fairly
thrilling the English pemilo with its in
terest. The papers are liliud with detail
and comment , and the fuss and parade ,
though duar to the Anglomaniac's heart ,
is little short of appalling to the average
American.
A late announcement tells , soberly
enough , of the oITorls being made to pro
vide an "artificial bow of the head" for
the fair bride , who. it was feared , would
bcriottsly siifl'or if she attempted to re
turn , even at considerable intervals , the
nrelamations to bo received enrotite.
Several forms of patent apparatus have
been submitted to the master of the
horse , ono being , it is said , a clock-work
arrangement in the cushion of the seat.
by which , supposably , the princess will
bo raised and lifted at proper timed.
If the Princess Mary of Teck is pos-
BC.ssed ol one-half of the many virtues ,
charms of character and graces of man
ner whjch are bitch a prolific subject of
discussion in foreign papers , England
may well bo proud of her future queen.
The descriptions of the quiet , simple ,
domestic life she has been leading at
homo are s\r ot pictures of industry , be
nevolence and fresh bright ways which
fccem to win for her many warm friends
and the universal admiration of the pub
lic. She is ever active and industrious ,
devoting all her spare moments to some
employment that will benefit those not
BO favored as herself , and never finds
time for an idle moment. It is bald that
when visitors call at White Lodge she
rises quietly during a pause in the con
versation and saye bmilingly :
"You will pardon mo , 1 know , if I got
my knitting and do some work while we
talk. There ia really BO much to do it
Ecoms quite wrong to bo idle. " And
often when alone with her homo friends
Bho wishes "that half of the time which
Is wasted by many girls in doing nothing
might bo given to her as a present in
addition to her own time. " But she does
not allow this simple needlework and
knitting which she docs for the "disin
herited of the earth" to interfere witli
her interest in all intellectual things.
The princess IB talented , as well as
Bweotly good , and her cleverness shows
itself in many lines. She plays the
piano and harp , and plays them well ,
Her voice has been well trained , and is
Bwcot and sympathetic , although it i.
not powerful , and she speaks Gormat
and French as well as she does her na
tive tongue. A short tlmo ago sh (
attended lectures on Eli/abothian litera
two at Richmond in connection will
Iho university oxteiibion movement
thereby ranging horbolf with the oxten
tion students , and helping on ono of tin
beat educational movements of the time
In a bkotch of Princess Mary's homo OIK
paper says : "Everything is pretty.fron
the entrance to tlio boudoirs. There i
absolutely nothing of the chilling air c
Btnto departments about the house. I
IB simply a refined , beautiful Englisl
hoino. "

The young women of today do not re
nllzo their opportunities. Thny shoul
have been born yesterday to do thai
lays .lennnctto L. Gilder , addressing th
Briny of girl graduates just Btoppin
from the auto room of the schools un
colleges Into the broader world. Th
world IB now just as much their oysto
as it is their brothers' , and some of thot
will provo much moro skillful in opei
Ing It. I do not know of any walk thii
a woman cares to enter that she woul
now find closed to her on account of he
ox. If she has the business BCUSO si :
needs nothing moro. Opportunity is
good thing , but a determined woinn
will make it for horbolf if nho does n <
find it at hand. This year is partici
hvrly a woman's year , owing to th
great showing at Chicago , where tl
Wonian's building , designed by u womu :
holds its own by the side of any in Juo
BOH park. I am not and never have boi
ono who believed in spoiling womt
with a capital W.
I bollovo that men and women are <
a pretty equal footing , except , porlm ]
In the matter of physical strength at
powers of endurance , though even ho
I am sure a threat many women can ho
their own with their brothers.
If I were ono of you young women , ju
Blurting out in life , I would not ask ai
consideration on the bcoro of box , but i
that of work only , I would make i
my mind that tno strongest objectii
that la made against women workers
want of thoroughness could not '
made against mo. I would adopt tl
career of ray choice , and devote mys
to it with as firm a determination tosti
ceod as though there were no bticU thii
as marriage or giving in marriug
Your work , if you undertake it , shou
bo no stop-gup between the bchool-roc
and the ul'ur. Not that you bhould n
marry if you feel so inclined , but y
fchottld not take up any business , bavin
"Oh , well , I suppose that I will cet'mt
ricd borne day , and this will do t
then. " Whatever you do , do it w
lously and with your whole heart. An
the line of your work , you must be t
iuugo. Everything is bolero you. Y
have only lo choose , but you must
choo o from the heart. Do the thing yt\i
fcol the most inclined to do , for that la
the thing you will do the bost. I would ,
however , warn you not to bo easily dis
couraged. It will bo a hard fight for
you , just as it would bo for your brother ,
for while there arc no lines of work you
may not take up , there is no royal road
to any ono of them. You are fortunate ,
not only If you do not have to begin at
Iho bottom , but If you do not have to
wait for some tlmo before you can begin
at all. All doors will admit you , but
they are not all standing wide open.
Cheese carefully , and then knock loud ,
and long if nocostary , and you will bo
heard and admitted if you have chosen
wif-oly.
Do not forgot what I have said at the
beginning of this letter that it is well
to Know something about the manage
ment of a homo , for even "girl bach
elors" cannot afford to bo > at the mercy
of Incompetent or unscrupulous people
any moro than married women can. Do
mestic economy loads to happiness , if
not to wealth. Live within your moans ,
and put a little nest egg aside for a
rainy day. This is the advice of ono who
knows from never having done it that
it is the best thing to do.
The great Strakosch , who taught all
the famous song birds from Patti to
Niklta , was continually at war with
cooks and candv-makors.
"Child. " ho u ed to say to Patti , "do
you want to make jolly'of your vocal
chords ? For heaven's sake pitch that
candy out of the window and go and
drink a little water. "
Hut Pattl wont on eating cream dates
and gttmdrops and btopped only when
the toothache camo.
Mrs. Riger Pryor said to the diva the
last time Patti was in Now York : "I
remember meeting you in Virginia the
time of your debut , and 1 thought you
could cat moro candy In less time than
any human being I had over seen. "
Although the bweot stuff had not hurt
her marvelous voice Mine. Pattl paid
for it with her teeth.
Strakoseh in all his professional work
insisted on the strictest abjtlnonco , and
the singer who chafed under the re
stricted diet was reminded of the re
ward. The preservation of a clear ,
sweet voice up to the threshold of old
age is enough , to compensate a tenor for
the forbidden wine and cigars and the
prima donna for her Interdicted ice
cream and candy. In his dietry Stra
koseh eliminated tobacco , cigars , cigar
ettes , candies and nuts of all kinds , ice
cream and ices , strong tea and coffee ,
vinegar , pickles , piquant sauces , highly
bcasoned dishes and every sort and de
scription of alcoholic liquors. The con
coctions of sherry and whipped egg so
popular with singers lie considered most
injurious to the vocal organs ; ho de
nounced lozenges and loaf sugar as bad
and swallows of lemon juice or brandy
as worse. These stimulants instead of
clearing the throat , as is erroneously
supposed , have the opposite effect. "If
natur.o is not tampered with , " ho used
to say , "tho throat will not need to bo
cleared. Nature supplies the saliva as
a lubricating fluid , and her action , if not
opposed , will do all that is needed. "
Mr. Strakoseh advocated beginning
the cultivation of a voice as soon as it
was discovered.

Speaking of matrimonial agencies the
Chicago Post bays the first thing done
by tlio applicant at the bureau is to pay
a fee. People who have managed tc
marry without the aid of thib fin dc

ful consistency ol this and reflect that
the difference in methods docs not
amount to BO much aftei all. The nexl

Miss Laura Leo , the Boston artist , hn
returned from the Columbian oxpositior
The peculiarity of Miss Leo's visit t
Chicago , says the Now York World , lit
in the fact that she tramped about in
Syrian costume , a so-called drcss-rofori
suit. She is reasonably proud of her ac
venture , though exactly why it is nc
easy to understand. She merely prove
that she has the courage of her convii
tions ; she has not proved that her cccoi
tricity has made a favorable improssiu
on other women. LJcoause on a boil in
Hummer day an eccentric man choose
to appear on ISroad way In loose and con
fortablo pajamas it is not likely tin
other men are going to follow his e ;
o ample. The fact is that women are loal
S to make themselves ridiculous , and the
are not at all convinced by the spectoc
0 lar display of Miss Laura Leo of Bosto
irn Dress reform may work out its own su
n vation in time , but decidedly not in tl

Maori girls are given great license
from a very early ago in the matter of
lovers. Some girls , however , were barn
proud , and either kept to ono sweetheart
or had none , but this was rare. When a
girl married she became tapu to her
husband. Any ono outside the relation
of brother and sister c mid marry , al
though marriage ot first cousins was
greatly disliked. Polygamy prevailed
among those who could afford it , and
whoso circumstanies or inclinations led
into it. "but as the trlbo supported all in
food , the moan men would be prevented ,
in some way or another , from having
largo establishments. "
Betrothal of children was common
among people of high birth. If no betrothal -
trothal there was generally a lot of talk
und squabbling , every one in the tribe
thinking ho had a right to interfere , till
at last the young couple , if lovers , would
lleo to tho' bush until their living to
gether was agreed to. The girl gener
al ly began the courting. 1 hnvo often
seen the pretty little love lottin- fall at
the foot of a lover it was a little bit of
iltix made into a half knot. "Yes , " was
made by pulling the knot tight , "no" by
leaving the "matrimonial nooso" alone.
Sometimes in the wharo mutoto ( the
wooing house ) . a building in which the
young of both sexes assembled , for
play , songs , dances , etc. , there would bo
at stated times a mooting ; when the
fires burn low tv girl would stand up in
the dark and say :
"I love so-and-so I want him to bo
husband. "
If ho coughed ( sign of assent ) or paid
"yes , " it was well ; if only dead silence
she covered her head with her robe und
was ashamed.
Tills was not often , as bho generally
had managed to ascertain , cither by hoi-
own inquiry or by sending a girl friend ,
if the proposal was acceptable. On the
other bund , sometimes si mother would
attend and pay : "I want so-and-so for
my son.1 If not acceptable there was
generally mocking and she was told to
lot the young people have their house
( the wooing house ) to themselves.

What is there in the atmosphere of a
roof garden that inclines ono so strongly
to sentiment ? Take the veriest old cynic
and hard shell pessimist in the world up
there under tlio stars , and ten to ono
he'll begin mooning about old friends
and old songs and the girls ho used to
know , who used to wear white dresses
and blue ribbons and were so awfully
good and sweet that this earth was no
place for thorn , and so very sensibly
they died before the fiood or thore"-
aboutp.
If the girls of today were like the
girls those old fogies tell us of they
would bo all snapped up by museums ,
and a fellow would have to go off and
toll funny stories to himself if ho fult
like flirting or making lovo. The
modern girl , with all her faults
and imperfections , is much moro
human and satisfying. If a real angel
, . with wings and a well fitting halo wore

One of the things that no follow can
find out is why so , ai'inny women make
their sex ridiculous by writing to papers
and magazines asking questions about
dross and etiquette and love and mar
riage and their 'physical well being
which proclaims thorn as ignorant of the
most ordinary rules'61 life. Are they
really unable to ibll the color of their
own hair1 Can they not dotormlno
whether they write n peed hand or not ?
Do they not know that they publish
themselves as very silly and potty-
minded when they waste tlmo ever such
matters ? Some of the women thinklsts
and reformers ought to take the matter
in hand and try to remedy this awful
fominlno ovll. Some of the queries sent
to correspondents' columns would incllno
the earnest student of human nature to
go out and weep. A certain scholarly
man who rules this department of a mag
azine says that In the course of two
weeks ho answered moro foolish ques
tions than he thought the human mind
was capable of formulating , the burning
questions of the day being , "How to de
velop the bust , " and "la it proper to
allow a gentleman to kiss a young lady
after meeting him twice ? "

is only 1U years old ,

guagcs tripos at Cum bridge the men a
outdone by the women. Not a sing
iut man gained u first cluss honor , whorev
ut two women were placed in that cluss.
ho The empress ) of China bus colebnit
do her liOth birthday by issuing u munifoa i
ho enjoining a general restraint of oxtru

isters.
The physical exorcise crar.o has
reached St. Petersburg , whcro the
IntHos are becoming ardent athletes
and export bleyolo riders. Ono of their
fads is to carry Louis XIV. cano * . some
six or seven feet long ami stout in pro
portion.
Mrs. Alan Gardner has just returned
from India , where she enjoyed the dis
tinction of nhootlng panthers at one
place , spearing them at another , going
plg-sticltiujT nt a third , and hunting
cheetahs , a species of leopard , at some
place clfo.
A surgeon inveighs with earnestness
against tennis playing for girls. Ho
considers the exorcise peculiarly harm
ful , and the injury done far in excess to
the gain received by the open .air privi
leges. "Return to croquet , " is his
earnest plea for the girls.
Mrs. Stannard , the writer , who Is bc't
known by the name ot John Strange
Winter , t-ays she knows of ono happy
marriage that was the result of a pro
posal made on the fourth day after the
couple mot. It was her own.
A correspondent from Holslngfora
writes that women In Finland compote
with men as clerks , managers of limited
companies , doctors , dentists , house
builders and bank cashiers , in which
capacity they are found moro honest
than men.
Miss Ella G. Na" h. a graduate of the
Boston College of Pharmacy , has pa t-cd
the board of examination and has boon
awarded a druggist's certificate. Young
men \\ill feel a certain hcnitution in
ordering ono with a wink In It at her
soda fountain.
Patti has once moro returned to Craig-
y-Nos , but before she left London a
partv was given at Mr. Alfred Roths
child's , where the siniror had a great tri
umph. At supper the diva sat on one
sldo of the prince of Wales , surrounded
by the duke of York , the duchess of
Teck and others of the nobility.
' 'The most beautiful among isuny
bcam'.ful women. " Is what Napolcan III.
called the countess do Pourtalos. An
other remark that has been made about
her is that "she can wash her grand
child's face o- : hem a towel , just as easily
as she can dictate terms for the peace of
a kingdom or place an empire at her
fcot. "
F-RliNCH DIVORCES.
The Dom.iml Tor Titles Iucrn * r > 3 tlio Hull
ne > < ol tlio Courts.
A curious question Is now under dis
cussion in the French Chamber of Depu
ties. It is as to whether or not divorced
women should retain the name and title
of their husbands after the legal disso
lution of the bonds of matrimony. No
provision was made for this matter
when the divorce law was lirst enacted
by the French legislature of 18 1 ,
and it is only recently that
the increasing number of divorces
in high life has led the French govern
ment to take the matter up. Both the
bonate and the lower ohamber seem to
have agreed that in cases of divorce the
wife should resume her maiden name ,
and that where merely a judicial separ
ation takes place the court should bo
loft to decide as to whether the wife
bhould bo permitted to continue to bear
the patronymic 01 her husband or not.
There is no doubt that if this project bo-
eomcs law the number of di-
vortes will considerably de
crease , especially in the ca c
of those couples where impecunious
titles have boon mated with bourgeois
wealth , since the lady will evidently bo
reluctant to surrender the noble prefix
to her name , for which she has in most
cases' boon obliged to pay very heavily.
A peculiar feature in connection with
divorces in Franco is the relatively largo
number of couples who , after having
gone to the trouble and expense of secur
ing a judicial dissolution of matrimonial
bonds , become reconciled , and , in cases
where it is possible , remarry.

There Is found on the cdgo of Death
Valley in California a lizard somewhat
similar to the Glla monster , although
moro agile. It is strictlyii vogotariarn.
This follow is called the chuckawalla by
the Coahuila Indians , who are bald to bo
very fond of his llesh. The meat of this
coiibin of the dreaded monster IH very
white , tastes like chicken and Americans
who have cnten it are not reported to
have turned up their noses at it. But I
doubt yory much if a Mexican of the
cholo class or anybody else hero could
bo induced to try a dish in which Gila
monster was the iHiieo do resistance. As
for Apaohos , itifa well Known that they
hate fish and reptiles of all kinds and
never eat thorn even if starving.
