Queen Victoria’s Habits. Herald of Health: 1n ordinary life the ueen is done breakfast before § o’clock. he rides or walks every day in fine weather, and reads, writes or draws after luncheon. Her greatest happiness is de- rived from association with members of her family. Affairs of state are discussed with the minister in attendance between breakfast and luncheon, and when any- thing of serious import is on tapis the pleasures of exercise are neutralized by anxiety, Queen Victoria always pays considerable attention to the sanitary condition of the palace in which she re- sides for the time bemng. Her relish for outdoor exercise enables her to appre- ciate pure air, and to see that her living nand sleeping apartments are properly ventilated. For some time after the death of the prince consort the intensity of her grief told very severaly on her physical condition. The first” evidence of this came in the shape of an attack of neuralgia. It only required a very short walk to produce a stroax sense of fatigue and headache. She suffered very much from sleeplessness, and was constantly under the care of a physician. Now that she is approaching the fiftieth year of her reign, after twenty-seven years of retire- ment, the queen has begun once more to take interest in worldly things, Mrs. Hast- v, who has s o valued A Bonanza Maiden's Fete. San Francisco Chronicle: Birdie Fair, Lhe only daughter of the senator an bonanza king, was eleven years old last Wednesday, and in the “evening her mother, Mrs. Theresa Fair, gave a fancy dress party at her residence on Pine street in honor of the event, to which about fifty of Birdie's little friends wero Invited. " The guests enjoyed several dances, and at 10 o'clock they marched Into the dining-room, where supper was served. On the centre table was a rep- resentation of the ocean, and a mermaid seen driving a team of four soft-shell crabs through the waves. She was dressed i green ufilu decorated with chains of shells, and a silver vond lily was in her long hight hair. Tete-a-tete tables were distributed around the room, and each one was adorned with lemons and oranges. The porcelain cabinet was also decorated with this fruit, and across the front was a terra cotta ribbon, on which, in quaint letters, was the inscription: Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clemens. A chime of golden bells hung over the ribbon, being irregularly arranged. On the tace of the lower left-hand cor- mer of the mantle mirror was a silver web, and the strands spread out to the other side and above, where there were branches of fruit trees in blossom. Sit- ting on the mantle was little Miss Muffit, whose plate of curds, and they were but partially consumed owing to her fright when she noticed the hungry look that the big black spider in the web bestowed upon her.

It would surprise anyone who did not know her personally to learn how ‘“shy” a woman she really is. The unbecoming rowds of market boys and messengers twait for appearance from house- door to carriage probably have no con- ception of the relief with which she turns the first corner and escapes their gaze. Often she sends her coachman away for ten minutes, knowing that in the mean- time the crowd will have dispe When this is not possible, she fairly makes a run from door to carringe, 15 tucked in as hurriedly as possible and tlies away.

Modjesk It Mrs. Cleve- land’s first visit to the mysterious region beyond the curtain, and, like everyone who goes on the stage for the first time, she walked timidly for fear she would fall down a trap-door. Modjeska re- ceived her visitors in the dressing-room, and after a little chat took the lady of the white house for_a tour of inspection over the stage. Mrs. Cleveland was charmed with all she saw, and wanted to know how the curta went up and the scenery moved and all the wonderful workings of the stage.

They are Mrs. Lennox Ken- nedy, Mrs. Rosevelt Schuyler and Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger, They sre all ac- quainted in Philadelphia and have had many callers since they arrived. From here they will make trips to some of the noted winter resorts, winding up the season in Florida. gowns, Gossip For the Ladies. Jennie June yields the palm to Amer- ican women for health, complexion,taste, and good temper. Women's work is too often badly re- munerated, but it is well to realize to what a degree. A lover of statistics has calculated that 19,909 stitches are required for a hand-sewn shirt, The queen of Sweden has had all the models of the Stockholm Rational Dress nssociation submitted to her for inspec- tion, and hag expressed her approval of them, as well as the work and general purpose os the society. Miss Nellie Henderson, of the Queen’s school, Chester, England, has gained the silver medal offered for competition by the Musical International college at their examination 1n music at the Liverpool centre held last December. Mme. Alboni has oftered her services to the syndicate at Florence to sing on the occasion of the reception of the re- mains of Rossini in the Church of Santa Croce. Alboni was the special delight of Rossini in her rendering of music. Miss Alice Longfellow is one of the ofticers of the society for the collegiate instruction of women, and is often at the Havard annex building, where, they say, she is regarded by the students with'a love amounting almost to reverence. Mme. Marie Roze, by invitatior of the governors, visited the new Jaffray hos- pital, Birmingham, recently, and spent a considerable time in various wards. Mme. Roze sang several songs to the pa- tients, to their evident delight.

What a pleasure it would have been to have lived In those days, A London lecturer says: ‘‘Not one woman in ten thousand has room inside her clothes for the rlse and fall of her ribs in breathing.” We believe he's about correct, for we notice that a great majority of women at the opera breathe outside their clothes—trom a small neck of open space just below the chin, “I'm laying for that fellow, and will get him yet,” said an angry Brooklynite to his Boston wife. *You shouldn’t’ say ‘laying for him,” Harry,” corrected his wife, *'You should say lrinl for him.” “I should do nothing of the sort, my dear, I'm no law- yer,” he replied, and the lady retired in con- usion, Jet bonnets in princess or fish wife poke shape—the latter with its narrow pent-house front—are trimmed with towering, upright bows of ribbon in the new colors of Charles pink, vivid scarlet, terra cotta, chartereu- se, or primrose.

Black ribbon, velvet studded, with a single diamond ornament, or its likeness, a Rhine stone,looks very chic, and serves admirably to set off, by force o contrast, a good complexion, When the ends of the ribbon are not short, euriously enough, they are very long, reaching always below the waist; but when this style ischosen a narrow ribbon only 1s worn, “Come h, vo; B EDUCATIONAL.
