But as the ranks of the original sisterhood were thinned new recruite were added, and the ‘‘brides of Ludwig were still counted by thousands, It is estimated that there were no less than 7,000 of them at the time or hiy spicide, When the news of that tragedy became known they forth- with put on mourning and ealled them- sclves “'the widows of Ludwig." Many of them took solemn vows of life-long celibucy as o token of faithfulness to his memory. Among these latter two of the most de- were the young baronesses of h., They constantly wore the epest mourning, secluded themselves from all social pleasures, and drove themselves into confirmed melancholy, 2 k they went to Starnburg and inds of flowers into the water at the spot where the king was drowned. Finally they determined to share his fate. They arrayed themselves as brides, cven to donning veils and orange blos- soms, rowed out into the lake to the spot where he was drowned and threw them- selves into the water, Their bodies were found next day, clasped in each other’s arms, and with portraits of the mad king next their hearts, Women who Get Out a Newspaper.

New York Mail and Express: Among the presents which Emperor William re- ceived on his birthday one of the most remarkable ones was a poem by the queen In a hundred short verses va had described the chief incidents of the soldier’s lifetime. She had, moreover, copied it out herself in her own band on white parchment, beautifully ornamented by corn-tlowers. When there was no kingdom of Romania in exigtence she had laughingly smd: ** o not want to marry unless [ can be queen of Roumania,” and,as so often hap- ‘pens,the carcless,thoughts of youth found heir accomplishment. Running down the palace stairs at Berlin one day her foot r(liprsd,:md she would probably have peen killed but for Prince Charles, of Hohenzollern, who saw her danger and caught her in his outstretched arms. When Roumania chose him for ruler he clamed the princess for his bride. Dur- ing the Russo-Turkish war she wore the Petticoated Irrepressibles. Buffalo Courier: The book canvasser has a heart as well as a tongue. One of these petticoated irrepressibles managed to get the Arounder by the ear the other day. Of course, there was no need of his buving any books, so he off-handedly asked her how she was getting along any way.

Chicago Journal: When Mme. de Stael asked the Emperor Napoteon what kind of woman he considered most valuable to the empire, thelittle corporal wounded the semsitive feeiings of that distin- guished personage by sententiously re- plying: *“The woman who has the most children.” The spirit which gromptcd such a reply has evidently found tempor- ary lodgment in the breast of an Illinois Central railroad surburban conductor. The other day, while I was cominff into the city on that thoroughfare, an honest- looking woman boarded the train at Forty-third street with seven small chil- dren of various ages. When the condue- tor, clad in a new suit of blue, made re- splendent with brass buttons, sternly de- manded her ticket, a blush of confusion swept over her honest countenance as she fumbled vainly in her pocket for her purse, which she had left at home *“I* haven't any ticket, sir,” she meekly re- marked, the look of confusion growing deeper as she observed the glances of the passengers; “I left 1t home.” The con- duector glanced along the row of chubby- faced boys by her side ana said: ‘‘Are you the mother of tfiose seven children?®” “Yes, gir,”’ she replied. *‘Well,” contin- ued the conductor, “‘any woman who has done as much for her country as that can ride on my train for nothing.”” And the conductor left the car, followed by the applause of the passengers, 3 Girls of Honduras. Atlanta Constitution: On the outside of the windows are heavy iron bars, which have a decidedly prison-like ap- pearance. These scrve a dual purpose, Besides belng a protection in times of revolution, they are also a protection to the senoritas. “All the lovemaking is done through Ahese bars, as the young ladies are very closely guarded in Honduras. They are mever scen alone, always being in charge of some elderly chaperone.’ *‘Aro the girls pretty?'’ “‘Some of them are, but I don't think they compare to our American girls. They are of Spanish descent and have regular featurcs. Most of them are bru- nettes,” *‘How about the natives, the Indians?” *“The natives are brown-skinned people with coarse, dark hair and with better features than Ethiopians. The men arc big,strong fellows,rather industrious as a class, turaing their attention to minin, and mechanical work, By industrious, meanthat they work hard enough to earn a living, but as they can live on 12 cents a day that does not mean very stu- pendous labor. The climate is delight- ful, enabling them to sleep out of doors if necessary, and they live on rice, dried beans and corn bread.” Women in Wall Street. Eleanor Kirk in Lawrence (Mass. American: Thero was a nice_littlo ti in Wall strect a few days ago between a man and his wite, both speculators, who were unfortunate enough to have the same initisls. Mrs. E. G. B. bought some stock unbeknown to her lord and master, but the fact was divulged by a brother broker. Thinking o help his wife out of » bad scrupe, the gentleman ordered the account to be closed by means of a tele- gram signed E. G. B. "The lady, who,ex- cecdingly perspicacious in the matter of speculation, and who had received some valuable *'points” to sustain her resolu- tion to hold on, was naturally much di turbed to reccive a notiticutien of closin, from her broker, and immediately mf yanced upon the bulls’ stronghold. ¢ The husband and wifo met, Gireek and Greek sure enough, The upshot of the aflair was that my lady lost $100 by her husband'’s interference, But she im- mediately reinvested and saled away with pennants flying, having warned her broker to pay no attention to docu- ments not bearing the prefix Mrs, to the signature, The mania for speculation seems to be increasing among women. A member of the stock exchange told the Wwriter that is lady customers were far less nervous tham men, and while they ‘weore more cautious about large invest- ments, they were seldom troublosome, and as a rule their jndgment seemed su- perior to that of men. Ludwig's 7,000 Brides. Paris Letter in Chicago Tiwes: The young king (Ludwig of Bavaria) was then at the height of his romantic fame. His ideally handsome likeness was to be seen everywhere, and everywhere you heard xclk of his poetic melancholy, his roman- spirit and his confirmed celibacy. Naturally he became an object of intense interest to sentimental young ladies. Presently, “mm;f the otber absurd tales that were told of him, there went abroad the story that he spent most of his time in wandering about his kingdom in dis- guiso. He haunted shady lanes and ro- mantic spots, seeking “for some fair andan who should be his chosen bride, ‘ell, this silly tale was belioved and set thousands of hearts to fluttering. Each maiden wondered i sho woufi.l be his choice if he chanced to meet her under the lime trees, And she hesitated to plight her troth to her yillage lover until nkl;c should have a chance to meet the ng. 80 it came to pass that in the village of Bertoldshofen, in the romantic mountain region of Soutnern Bavaria, the maidens formed themselves into a sort of sister- . They pledgedt hemselyes to each mor not to marry u nh! thoy were sure king had passed them by. Each was #0 wear his likeness constautly next her , and each was to choose for her- o secret bower where at eventide she hl ait his mmm.. A mrdt m lemo, probably, never was dev! silly brains of love-sick school- ut more than a scorc of r- D maidens entered into it with The Apple of Our Eye. Now York Graphic: And why let me ask, should a woman take 1t so seriously to heart if her brain do weigh five ounces less than a man’s? So do her feet! So do her hands! But if she makes it up in her heart nobody thinks the worst of her forit. Really, I think it 1s selfish of a woman to want the best and most of everything. She has the majority of the good looks in the world, and of the good times, too, I will warrant; and it is quite her own fault if she does not get the ma- Jority of all the love. She has the pretti- est clothes and she gets the most candy, and she has rosés and violets Leapea u‘pon her from year’s end to year's end— if she is good and lucky. Like Three Roses on a Stem, Torrington (Conn.) Register: There a8 born in Foshen, on March 26, 1788, a triplet of girls who made onc of the most remarkable records known. They were Sibyl,Sarah and Susan Hurlburt,children of Gideon and Ann (Beach) Hurlburt. For the great period of eighty-seven years this triplet remained lmgx'oko h Sibyl dying first at that age, in June, 1875, Her wedded name was Luddington. In October of the next year Susan (Mrs. Grinnell) died at the age of eighty-eight. Sarah lived to the agoe of ninety-fivi dying on January 11, 1833, Her wedde name was Bushneli. ‘These sisters looked so much alike, particularly Mrs. Grinnell and Mrs. Bushnell, that up to seventy- five or eighty years of age it was diflicult for the most intimate friends to tell them apart; even then they would mistake one another among themselves. A Good Word For Needle-Work, London Qucen: Sewing machines have revolutionized the working world, but when I see, as I only too frequently do, intelligent and otherwise well-educat girls of 10, 12, aye, and older too, so ig- norant of plain neadle-work that I would not care to use a_poeket-handkerchief of their hemming, 1 do not feel quite sure that all innovations are improvements, A lovely young doctress of divinity, or ot law, or of medicine, may be a very be- witching or fascinating personage, a otent evidence of the march of intelleet, ut it may be permitted tograndmammas to doubt if a boloved and loving wife, a sweet, devoted mother, skilled and deoft in all woman's work, be not, even thoug!h innocent of any tongue save her own, the better of the twain. But the worid is wise enough for both, Ihave heard my own mother say that when she was seven she wore an Indian muslin of her own embroidery nt o ball given by her par- ents on her birthday.

Surf bathing is no longer fashionable. Bonnet strings are very short, when any are worn. Beaded passementeries are worn on dressy frocks, ’sge tight coat eleeve will goon be o thing of the past. The Frances Cleveland turban is the favor- ite small hat of the season. ‘The sleeve with a puff from the elbow to the shoulder grows in favor. Itis not considered good taste to wear much jewelry in very warm weather. Now 1s the time to cover as, cushions and chairs with lace scarfs and tidles. All fine luxurious pleasure carriages are shod with India rubber tires in England. ‘The prince and princess of Wales always ride in vehicles with India rubber tires. ‘The bicyele for gentlemen and_the tricycle for ladies’is very tashionable in New Jersey. Flower necklaces with ends falling to the waist ot the bodice are coming in vogue for suinmer festivals. ‘The white moire sashes worn with white frocks are fastened in front with white enauel buckles. India rubber break blocks are the proper things with which to grip a wheel 80 as to prevent noises, jars or strain when stopping & vehicle. ‘The latest craze in fancy work is modeling flowers in {uun-parchn paste. It is nota very recent invention, but it has only recent- ly been popularized as fancy work. The latest Parasian addition to white toil- ets is a parasol made of silk and covered with many fine plaitings of silk mull. ‘The handle is gilded. Very charming white gauze fans complete these costumes, the sticks being of ivory and flights of gold butterilies being worked across the white gauze in the bullion thread. ‘There are many ne\w ana some very eccen- tric sleeves sent outby the makers of fashion this season, all of which shows the tendency to abaudon the old favorite, tignt coat sleeve. For park rlding the correct wear is the high bell-crowned silk hat, but for the country, lnnlr riders prefer ' the round-crowned derby or the jockey cap made of the material of the habit, White stockings are worn with white suits and low ‘lmu-ut-leamer ties, The stockings are of silk and embroidered over the instep with yetlow silk, T of white and gold.

The value of this color in dress has never betore been properly appreciated. 1t 1s discovered to be singularly becoming to almost every kind of beauty, blonde or brunette, pale or rosy. A new fashion in gloves is a gant de Suede which is of a deep, soft redicalled sang de beeuf, with the stripes between the fingers of white kid. Others in heliotrope are made in the same way, and the latest addition in the color of gloves is the tint called honeysuckle. Balnyeuses in trained gowns are no longer fashionable, though they "are still added to short dresses for house and carriage wear. Distinct trained petticoats with many lace- edged flounces sewn into the back breadth are now almost completely taking their place. ‘The tramns of summer bridal dresses are frequently made detachable and of rich satin or broche, while the entire under dress is of light crepe or gauze or lace over satin, the bodice being of the stull of the train, ‘The dress can thus be converted into a danc- ing frock.

After all the sailor hat of rough straw,with arather wide brim turned up behind or a narrow one straight all around, and trimmed with nothing but a plain blue, red, green, black or white band, with rackets or bats on the streamers, is the preferred wear for tennis, croquet, and other out-of-door games. Dotted stufts are so fashionable that even chemises and other pieces of underwear are made of fine muslins and linens, dotted all over with red, blue, or lilac spots, and rome- times all three of these colors. ~ Then the yoke, bands, and monogram are worked in he same colors, while fine valenciennes lace trims the whole garment. ‘The newest color is honeysuckle, which is pale yellow in one light and pale pink in another, and is first cousin to the beautiful tint that appeared a vear ago under the French title of point de” jour, and which is called in English “dawn.” These yellow Jinics and gieen are the popular _colors after heliotrope, which still reigns supreme.
