LA FAVORITA. A Paris correspondent says: ‘The Nowvelle Revue publishes an interesting recount of a visit by Mme, Dolla Rocea to the Palico of the Favorita, near Naples, where the harem of the ex-Khedive of Egynt Is at present lodged. "Between Naples ond Castelln- mare,” says the writer, “nt.0 little distance from tho ancient Herculaneum, now called Realua, ono may perceive a great palace, very simple.in architecture and painted red, together with the numerous outbuildings thatsurround it. ‘That is the Palace of the Favorita, The namo was given to it by Mary Caroline, Queen of Naples, wife of Ferdinand 1V., and sister to Morie Auntol- nette.” This voluptuous Qunees, with her very dear friend, Lady Hamilton, took up her residence In the Palace of the Favoritn, and gaye there a sorics of splendid fates, balls, concerts, and comedies, with more friendly entertainments for those who were: in the circle of royal favor, ‘ho spectacle trom the windows of tho palies ara incomparable.

No toubt itis more diMeult for a woman to suppress her indignation, to conceal frri- tation, to Ignora unpleasantness, to’ fect or affect Indifference; but you see, madame, we are not inquiring into causes, but ad to the fact. Women are declared to have more tact than men; so they have in some social things, but in important things 1 think not. It Is, for Instance, the lack of tacton the part of women that sets clique against clique in congregations and church societies of all kinds; that causes almost all associattons or- ganized by women to break upin differences; that keeps so many people in hot water in family hotels and boarding-houses or where- ever lovely woman predominates, It is to alnck of tnet that we owe the traditional mother-in-law. Fathers-in-law have no bad reputations anywhere. May not say this is because thoy have too much tact to in- terfere, too muen tact to notice trifles, too much tact to bo fussy and Matters that should be wisely let alone? Does not any woman realize how much tnet men are found to exhibit In order to successfully keep their places in life?
