A year or two ago I know of a case of this kind, and the social authorities agreed that it was the height of impropriety. The lady in that case was in private life. The present caso is complicated by the fact that the lady has official duties to perform, and many of the social casuists justify the first lady in the land in wear-ing black privately for her sister and col-ors publicly, as an official person who can have no griefs except those of an official character. Washington Letter. The Ktiqnette nf Mourning. People in the social world are now dis-cussing a question of etiquette. Tho problem is this: If a lady is in deep mounting for the death of a near rela-tive, is it proper for ber to lay aside her somber (taib aud uarticioato in miscelia-- 1 crimson velvet, with the regulation even-ing bodice, and her ornaments included a girdle, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and tiara studded with diamonds of wonder-ful brilliancy, beauty and number. Kow upon row of diamonds encircled her throat, the pendants covering her neck and the longest flinging the corsage of rich velvet. The jewels in her hair were worthy of a queen's coronet, the large stones shining like stars. Butterflies with outspread wings quivered on her shoul-ders, and in the soft lace of her corsage Cowers, birds and priceless insects were fastened. It is doubtful if tt more costly ditiplay of diamonds was ever seen in the Metropolitan opera house. New York World. Mrs. Astor'g Dliiuiondb. Mrs. Wm.

Portoffueie Boycott of a Woman. Not merely is boycotting applied to English goods and shops and to English-men when they appear in tho streets of Lisbon, but a paragraph has appeared announcing a eonunitteo of ladies, so called, of the high aristocracy, for the purpose of inducing all ladies in Lisbon society to break off social relations with the members of the British legation. Considering that Mrs. Petre has dono more for Lubou society during her resi-dence here than any other lady of her position, fully meriting tho exceptional popularity she has enjoyed, tho parade of this petty act of rancor might with propriety have been omitted. It is hardly likely that her majesty's minister will allow Mrs. Petre, who is at present in England, to return to Lisbon to be ex-- i posed to unladylike acts of discourtesy. Cor. London Times. the wm pun). The Physical Culture of tho Ladies of- - the Metropolis of New York City. A LOlTfl rOEGOTTEN HEEOIHE. Crane's' Hew Partner Mrs. Astor's Diamonds A Paraous Story Writer. ! One of the lames, the daugnter or. the shrewdest and most successful man in the country and an heiress in her own name, has the locker next to mine, and also a very torpid liver. Tho doctor is particularly interested in this fair ath-lete, and confident of restoring her beauty and health if directions are carried out. Here is a programme: Walk three miles every day in tho open air; ride one hour in a cab or stage over a rough road ; se sponge baths only until the action of the liver is restored; select a diet of soft orraw eggs, lettuce, celery, rice, spinach, rhubarb, fresh fruits, fish, chocolate and weet milk; prepare the stomach for each meal by rinsing it out with three pints of warm or cool water; and the ' things to be avoided aro excitement, tight clothing, bonbons, tea, coffee, meat, hot bread, pastry and stimulants of all kinds. ! But that is not all. Before retiring this daughter of Croesus uses pound bells until a free perspiration starts, then she gets down on the floor and walks round the room on her hands and toes until ex-hausted. The sleep that ensues is both Invigorating and uninterrupted. And this is tho sort of physical culture that such ladies as Mrs. Calvin Brice, Mrs. Louis Tiffany, Mrs. Roger Pryor, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Scribner, Mrs. Sylvanns Reed and Mrs. Lo Moyne aro having their daughters trained in. Let-ter in Chatter. A Fuuinut Story Writer. Miss Constaneo Fenimoro Woolson has had more biographical (sketches printed ubout her during the last year than ever before in her whole life. Mr. Arthur Stedraan, her latest biographer and ad- - mirer, is perhaps the most enthusiastic, but tho most earnest friends that Miss Woolson has are tho magazine editors, so many of whom woo her literary pro- - ductions so successfully. As a "serial" novelist the author of "Anno" is regarded as a most valuable card, but sho can be induced to do very little work now. Miss Woolson lives almost continuously in Italy, which she finds most desirable as a placo of residence. She has never been very strong, and before going abroad to live spent most of her timo in Florida with her mother, who finally died there. Having a comfortable income sho is able to live anywhere and in any way she chooses, but I fancy her life is not ono altogether of her own choosing a home has been denied to her for many years but if she has troubles and regrets no ono ever hears of them. She is a dainty little woman, perhaps oven moro particu-lar than the rest of her sex upon matters of dress. Philadelphia Times. Montana'! Need, There is a cry going up from all sec-tions of this new state of Montana for more women. Tho married ladies want them for do-mestics, tho mining camps want them for cooks and laundresses, the 6chool trus-tees want them for teachers, tho young men of the cities want pretty, entertain-ing girls to take to the tlatre and to par-ties, and the old bachelors want good, Bensiblo women for wives. While thousands of women have eonio into Montana from the east and west in the last two years, the supply is still far below tho demand, and promises bo to be for several years. San Francisco Chrou-Icl-e. A Woman of Uunlueni. Mrs. Frank Leslie is one of the best known women in New York. Nine years ago her husband died and left her "with nothing but debts und opportu-nity." In six years she liquidated the debts aud established herself on a solid financial basis. In a handsomely fur-nish-office on the second floor of the new J ud go building on Fifth avenue, the most widely known woman publisher in the world transacts her affairs. When she sold out her illustrated paper to Mr. Arkell, many people entertained tho im-pression that she had gone out of busi-ness altogether. But she still publishes The Popular Monthly and two other pub-lications; also the almanacs and tho an-nual Christmas book. After 4 p. in. she is no longer "Mrs. Leslie, the publisher," but springs into her carriage and drives up tho avenue behind a pair of bays. When she traveled in Spain the Spaniards were delighted with the gifted Ameri-can, who could speak their language as well as her own. Detroit News. Her Gown Villi Welch Three Ounces. About the year 1700 a fair young bride in the village now known as New Haven wore a dainty costume of white. The gown was cut low in the neck and was sleeveless. The dress was of light and filmy texture and weighed but about threo ounces. It has been handed down from generation to generation, until it has come into tho possession of a Danbury lady. Tho dress is remarkably well preserved and is extremely valua-ble, both from its age and the beauty of the embroideries with which it is covered. The design of tho trimming is prettily worked in tho coarse linen thread so common in those days. Danbury News. The Right Sort of a Wife. ' William H. Crane, the actor, vvho is just now earning so much money that he hardly knows what to do with it, may owe part of his success to his wife, who jnanagea him with a hand which, while dt is highly prized by the comedian, is none the less resolute and dictatorial. At one of the actor's symposiums conversa-tion turnod on the subject of money making, and some one observed that Mr. Crane must be making as much out of his new play as he and Robson mads to-gether in the best run of "The Hen-rietta." i "And now that you don't have to share with Robson you must naturally make double as much as you did boforo!" said the visitor. "Oh, no." replied Crane. "I have a partner still who takes a good deal more than Robson's share." . "Why, who is it?" was asked. ''Mrs. Crane," was tho reply. "I get my board and clothes, just as I always have. I have one of those rainy day wives. It wouldn't do a bit of good if 1 earned ten times what I do now. I would only have good living and a fur lined overcoat to remind me that I was any more prosperous than when I played Lo Blanc at fifty a week." ' Four New York tnen who were present complimented Mrs. Crane. '.. "You are not a New Yorker by birth," said one. "If you were, your husband would be bemoaning your extravagance." Philadelphia Press. - Surah Garment. Surah promises to increase in popular-ity. The coming summer ulsters of this silk will be much worn in traveling, and in a complete outfit a black surah ulster now has place.

One does not expect to encounter much dust if the journeys are to bo in Europe, but on our own side the "duster," by whatever name it may be called, has an important office to fill. New York Telegram. Southern Literary Women. It is an unmistakable fact that south-ern literary women are becoming more and more a factor in New York circles, aud it must be confessed that they con-stitute a most pleasing addition. There is a warmth of natural cordiality in their manners too often lacking in our north-ern women. This tho New Yorker is be-ginning to find out, and it ia not nn un-common sight to see a group of two or three southern women the center of at-traction at some literary or social gather-ing. Some of them aro Miss Frances Way Williams, of Georgia, a pretty girl of charming naivete; Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, keen, clover and discerning; Mrs. Leo C. Harby, whom .tho south has recently sent us as n. specimen of her beautiful and talented women; and tho mysteri-ous "Bab," who is able to interest and hold nearly half a million of newspaper readers each week by her pen. New York Commercial Advertiser. Ttetter Late Than Kever. Mme. Tacon, tho venerable governess of litt'o King Alfonso of Spain, has just received the title of Countess of Peralta from tho queen regent, as a reward for her devotion to the child monarch dur-ing his recent illness. The now couiitesi is over 70 years of age, and has been in the service of the royal household for more than half a century. She acted as a governess to all the children of Queen Isabella, including the lato King Alfonso XII. New York Tribune, Fanhloti in Petticoat. Tho latest fashionable fad Is to have dress, petticoat and stockings all to match. The petticoat is made of silk, with two pinked out flounces, and is two inches shorter than the dress. This is a temptation to vain women to wear thei: dresses longer than ever, necessitating their holding the skirt up oftcner to dis-play the quality of tho petticoat. Ex-change. Fanhion In Stationery. The preferred stationery for ladies is linen paper without gloss, whitoorcroara tinted, smooth or rough in finish, and of the standard octavo size, to fold once in a square envelope. Medium rough paper and etching paper, similar to that pro-par-for etchers, is used by those who write with stubs or with quill pens. In-sertion paper is a fancy novelty, with al-ternate thick and thin lines across tho page. The colored papers most used aro pale blue or rose tiated, dark bluo and gr7 of several shacSi, and for these nro cameo decorations which bring out tho design in white relief. Monograms of most intricate lettering are again tho fashion, stamped in colors, or in gold, silver, or any of tho colored bronzes, or, newest of all, in steel letters that produce perfectly tho effect of the metal. Instead of involved monograms, tho separate initials in quaint, odd letter-ing aro preferred by many, or else they are, a facsimile of those of the writer. Family crests and coats of arms are stamped in the proper heraldic colors. A tasteful marking for a young lady's letter ,p per, aud for the smaller "billet" sheets on which she writes her pretty note?, instead of using stiff cards, shows the initial of her last name dono in brown to imitate a woody stem, supporting or surrounding a tiny blossom of her fa-vorite flower in natural colors a violet, a wild rose, forget-me-not- s, a pansey or a primrose. Boston Cultivator. ,An Entertaining Came. A cobweb party is the most recent re-sult of tho season's ingenuity in the art of entertainment, and is tho favorite in tho west. The radiating lines of the web aro made of narrow ribbons, between which are gay colored silken threads crossing and recrossing each other at common canters in all kinds of perplexing tan-gles, and finally running off, each in some special direction, to be atached to some object in tho room. A thread is given to each guest, and it his duty to follow tho silken clew through all its mazes and finally to present it to his hostess wound up in a neat littlo ball. As each guest is sure to be led, in dis-entangling his thread, into industry with every other guest, the imaginative mind easily seizes upon the peculiar advantages and social possibili-ties of an entertainment of this kind. New York Evening Sun. Rifle CI ill. In Bermuda. The ladies of Bermuda have started a rifle clnb, of which the governor's wife is president. They have a range of their own, where they practice at 100 yards with small caliber weapons, and are said to make remarkably good scores. There ore seventy members. Philadelphia Ledger. . i An Authoritative Opinion. The attire which combines perfect freedom of vital organs with grace, modesty and utility is the ideal dress for women, to my thinking. Our present fashion is unhealthy, inconvenient and filthy when sweeping the streets. Kate Field. Au Intereiting Wedding. At McCnlla, Alu., last week, Rueben Burnett, aged 10, wns married to Miss Mollie Pear, nged 15. The groom weighs 00 pounds and tho bride SO. Tliey were married with the full consent of their parents. During tho ceremony a thief stole tho bridegroom's horse and buggy. All the guests joined in the chase. The thief was captured and the stolen property recovered. Birmingham Telegram. A Forgotten Heroine. ' Only'a few years ago tho country rang with the praise cf Miss Kato Shelley, of Monigona, la., who crossed u swollen stream in tho dark, at great risk to 'her-self and in tho midst of a howling storm, to save a passenger train, for a bridge had been swept away by a torrent. Poems woro written on the episode, pic-- , tures appeared in tho illustrated papers and innumerable paragraphs were writ-ten about tho heroine. It is said that she saved tha railroad company $50,000, or more, in property, to say noth-ing about what they might have been called upon to pay for lives lost, and passengers injured. Today Miss Shelley is the sole Bupport of a widowed mother and threo small children, and they aro living in a heavily mortgaged house, which is their only property. Threo years ago sho risked her lil'o for others, and her reward is chiefly the of a bravo and successful deed. Tho railroad company gave her a small re-ward, let than tho value of ono of the cars which sho saved, and the passen-gers, whose lives were preserved by her act, have entirely forgotten her. Brook- - lyn Standard-Union- . , Connecticut's Girl MurliiuUt. Miss Nellie Patterson is working at her lathe and vise in tho Mount Cariuel Belt company, and there isn't a mechanic in tho whole shop who can do a better job or in less lima than tho fair young work woman. Four years ago, when Miss Nellie began to think of tile meis whereby sho must earn hor living, sho ooked over the whole field of woman's work. Among the trades or occupations which tho pmhlng women of this coun-try have mado their own there was none elio especially liked. She was u bright girl, with it great deal of Yankee clever-ness and considerable ingenuity and Tho remark was made to a friend that sho was so fond of inventions feho ought to become a machinist. The seed thus sown took root, and sho applied for u place as an apprentice. For the past four years she has worked faith-fully, and a few days ago her time ex-pired, and sho is now a full Hedged ma-chinist. Sho is able to block up a piece of work on a planer or turn up an arbor on a lathe. She uses tho drill or handles the file as well as any man in tho shop, Her specialty, however, is tool making, and to this sho proposes to devote her-self. Sho can also draw plans, figure ; !"Oiit dimensions, and froiui the working drawings she can make anything. Sho is not afraid of tho grease and grime of ;. tho shop, and her beauty is not in the least marred by a long swipe of dirt across her dimpled cheek or a spot of oil on her nose. Her hands are not as white as thoso of some of her sisters, but they are. by no means large, though they are . very strong. Boston Transcript. ' Colnolilonlttl. There isa similarity between the acci-dent on the Lake Shore near Hamburg and that on tho Central near Yost's. In both disasters a minister of tho gospel met loath on his journey, a colored por-ter was killed in the cniHh at the end of a sleeper, and, while in the Yost's disas-te-bridegroom met his death and the bride escaped, in the Hamburg disaster tho case was reversed.
