Men will sometimes be surprised into an acknowledgment of the fact, much as it may go against the grain, And when they admit that a women is as clear-headed as a man one may know they are fully roused, for that is the highest compliment they can bestow. One was heard to exclaim on hearing the story of Miss Freeman: *‘Tied the children together! My! wasn’t she smart! Why, a man would hardly have thought of that.” A man, indeed. JACINTA JACQUES. A Widow Worth Winning. Atlanta Constitution : Another *‘model woman of the state” has been heard from in the person of Mrs. Phil- lips, a handsome widow about thirty years old, who runs a farm in Cypress township, Barnwell county. Last year, without any assistance, Mrs. Phillips made thirty-eight bales of cotton and plenty of corn, peas and potatoes. She ploughed with an ox and did all the work of preparing, planting, cultivating and gathering, This yecar she has bought a mule and is already ready to plant, Take Oare, Girls. There are some things a well-bred young lady never does: She never accepts a valuable present from a gentleman acquaintance unless engaged to him, She never turns around to look after any one when walking on the street. She never takes refreshments at a restaurant with a gentleman after at- tending the theatre unless accompanied by a lady much older than herself. Sho does not permit gentlemen to join her on the street unless they are very intimate acquaintances. She does not wear her monogram about her person or stick it oyer her letters and envelopes. She never accepts a seat from a gen- tleman in the street car without thank- ing him. She never forgets her ball room en- gagements or refuses tp dance with one gentleman and immediately dance with another. N She never takes more than a single glass of wine at a dinner or entertain- ment. She never snubs other young ladies, even if they happen to be less popular or well favored than herself. She never laughs or talks loudly in public places. She never raises her lorgnette and tries to stare people she doesn’t know out of countenance on the streot. She never wears clothing so singular or striking as to attract particular atten- tion in public. She never speaks slightingly of her mother and says she ‘don’t care” whether her bebavior meets with ma- ternal approbation or not. Mrs. Cleveland's Portrait. Pittsburg Disputeh: It is avery great secret, Wnd must not be disclosed on any account, that Mrs. Cleveland is having her portrait painted in water colors by, Mrs. Mindecliff, a Russian artist of this city. Soon after the marriage at the white house, in June, a year ago, the bride of the white house, sat to a pho- tographer in the conservatory. She gave an entire day toit, and sdme thirty negatives were made. The proofs of all of them were sentto the president by the artist, and after a longand careful study and consultation with Mrs. Folsom, the Lamonts, and other friends, the proofs were classified. So many were to be de- stroyed as unlike the president’s wife, Others, in different positions, full length, three-quartcrs, profiles. busts ete., were selected for the benelit of the public, and prints from them the art was authorized to sell. Then theve were four negatives, the best of all, or rather those which suited the presi- dent best, were kept for the private use of himself and wife. These the artist was forbidden to print from except at the orders of the president, and he was not allowed to ex- pose them to the gaze of the com- mon herd.- A certain number of prints were to be taken, and then the negative was to be destroyed. And then, last, and most important, was one negative which the president selected for his own particular, exclusive, private, con- fidential and sole use. He instructed the artist to make just three vrints of it and no more, and then brin% the pic- tures with the negative to him. He did not want it destroyed for fear he would never get another so good, but he wanted to take every possible means to prevent it getting into general cir- culation. The three prints were made, the president gave one of them to Mrs. Folsom, a second he cut up and pasted in the lid of his watch, for it is only n small carte de visite size, and the third stands upon his dressing table in a little fillagree silver frame. This is the model from which he wishes his wife’s portrait painted, and he took the photograph from the frame on his dressing table in orvder that it might be so used. Several sittings have been given the artist, and the pic- ture, which is said to be very satisfac- tory'to the president, is upymm-)m.g completion, He i edingly part ular that these facts shall not get into the newspapers, and cautionod the artist and all concerned to say nothing what- ever to anyone. He will not allow the artist to tuke the portrait to her studio, but compels her to come to the white house and work upon it, so that it has taken ntuch longerthan need ve been to do. Noone has scen 1t except Mrs. Lamont and Mvs. Folsom, and they pros nounced it very good. Mrs. Whitney. New York World: Mrs. Secretary Whitney ranks next to Mrs, Cleveland among the leading ladies of the United States, and she has done more for Wash- ington society than any woman since the days of Dolly Madison. Her rec tions and dinners have been the won- der of Washington, and she is, in fact, a born society leader. Possessing an- immense income, she has spent a great art of it to malke others happy, and she 15 in her element when, stending in her magnificent house on I street, she has about her the noted men and the pretty women of our capital. Lvery one feels at home at Irs. Whitney’s, and Mvrs, Whitney entertains you without seeming to try to do so. She has her servants perfectly trained, and there is never a jar or a misscep. She likes on- tertaining, and it does not tire her. She said to me the other night: *I'm going over to New York when the season is over for a nominal rest. But I don’t feel that I need it and I have the happy philosophy of not letting things worry me, and I do the duty that lies nearest me and let the future take cure of i . Idon’tdo things when I don’t want to, and it surprises me to sce Low some people work hard to have a good time. I'see some girls dancing every night or §0, who make such ey work of it that they might as well be in a tread mill, and who evidently do not like it, IfT were they I would not dance, and it is the same with other things.” Mrs. Whitney is not what the West- ern village girl would call a “butterfly of fashion.” It is true she dresses well, and she probably has as many costumos as Berry Wall has suits of clothes, but she is a good wifo and mother as well, and she watches very closely over the health of her handsowe husband, the secretary. Before Dorothy was born Mrs. and Secretary Whitney might have been seen riding on horseback through the lanes near Grasslands and the presi- dents home, and she sses that he mounts his horse every plcasant afternoon and CHRIST 888, —SIXTEEN PE S Deaves’ ""Riding Hood.” WEEK Mar. 11th Dime Eden Muses, IN CURIO HALL, Lizzie Sturgeon Marvelous Pedestrial Pianist, A lady, who from her birth has been without the wse of hands, yet is a skillful performer on the piano, sews, knits, crochets and do es every-~ thiug with her toes that ordinary mortals do with hands. 30 AUTONATIC LIFE SIZE WAX FIGURES. 30 From Eden Musce, New York City, vepresenting BEFORE PILATH.

The result is Secretary - Whitney has re- covered his old vigor, and he looks better now that he has looked since he has been at the head of the navy. Mrs. Whitney is herself fond of exer- cise, and she has been taking a number of long tramps this year. She belicves that American girls should take better care of their health,and thinks there are some English customs in this regard which they could adopt with profit. She advoeates out of door sports of every kind, and it has been through her as tance that some of the big paper chases and tally-ho rides have been so enjoy- ably carried out. She could not be the social leader that she is were she not a fine - conversation- alist, and those who imagino that the social lenders of Washington are not women of brains and cuiture are much mistaken. The society here is literary and political, and among the ‘subjec discussed every evening are the upper- most topics of literature, science,artand politics. Mrs. Whitney is well up in the standard literature of to-day. San Antonio Girls in Dan ger. San Antonio Express: A very nice young man, whose name always appears in the list of those attending the swell balls and other similar social affairs, unbosomed himself to an Express re- porter yesterday. In common with other San Antonio society men, this very nice young man has a grievance. He said: T tell you'what, if San Anto- nio society girls don’t mend their ways they will find theémselves boycotted. Don’t faint, I didn’t mean fo makea pun. Iamindead hard earnest. You see, wo've stood the thing about long enough. During the dull season. when there are no strangers in town, the girls are too awfully sweet on us town boys. But now just keep your eye peeled and observe the clmngn. We get up parties and; balls, and run our- selves in debt very often doing it. ‘‘We take the gicls there and pay for the hacks they ride in, Soon as they get under the glare of the chandelier and on glistening floor they begin to ook around for new male faces. Letn drummer come along decked out in a s{)iku-t il coat and an idiotic grin, and the girls go wild over him. and the town boy is luck if he gets three dances during the evening. And an army offi- cer is our horror. When a blue coat and brass buttons heave in sight, the average San Antonio girl grows raptur- ously giddy, and we boys know the jig is up with us. As I said before we have patiently borne this thing long enough. here has got to be a change.” The very mice young man then went off, and mildly dissipated in a glass of moxy to quict his nerves. A Charitable Woman. New York Sun: A woman who has devoted her life to the business of char- ity and has achieved a suc that has made her the best known woman in that line in the United States, 1f not in the world, is Mrs, Josephine Shaw Lowell of this eit M Lowell 15 the widow of Colonel Charles R. Lowell, who commanded a Massachusetts regi- ment until he was killed during the war, Left with only a daughter to care for and with a reasonable amount of wealth, Mrs, Lowell turned her atten- tion to charitable work, and for twenty years has made that almost the sole business of her life. In 1873 she was appointed by the governor a member of the State Board of Charities and Cor- reetion, being the first and for a long time the only, woman to serve on that hoard, Mrs. h Carpenter of Pough- keepsie, is now also a member, In 1881 Mrs. Lowell, already well known among charitablé organizations all over the country, was prime mover in the formation of the Charity Organi- zation society of this city, and has eyer since been one of its officers and a leader in its work. She is at pre one of the council of the soci chairman of the committee on district work, which has to do directly with the work among the poor of the city. One day each week the commit- tee, which consists of fourteen or fifteen men and womin, meets at the central office of the society, and reports are made of the results of the examination into each individuml gase thatis brought bofore the society. Mrs. Lowell pre- sides at all of these etings, and isthe general authority in he determination of what shall be donelln each case. Her duties in convection With the Organ tion soviety keep her busy at the centr oflice about three du*: in each week. Another day is given) to her official in- spection of the various reformatory in- stitutions of the city., The rest of her time is occupied in the general work of a member o} the state board and in at- tending to correspondence. She is vec- ognized all through the country and in Europe as an authority in matters con- nected with the {administration of charity, and letterdgome toher from all parts of the world asking for informa- tion and advice. She is a writer of unusual clearness and effectiveness, and many of her r ports have come to be classics in the iterature of charity., She also is fre- queptly called upon to prepare papers or und to personally address conven- tions and meetings of charitable or similar organizations upon the methods of organization and other matters within her line. Personally Mrs. Lowell is described as a fine looking, even tempered. mod- est and unassuming woman of middle age, wholly engrossed in the work to which she has given her life, and al- most unknown in social or other circles outside of those conuected with her busi- ness. Female Mine Our friend An k ntr Walla Walla Watchman: C. McCoy showed us yesterday a photo of a mining scene. ~ We notice there a lone miner’s cabin and in front of it stands a female prospector, with an ax in hand and smiling. Mack, when showing us the photograph, smiled, too. Perhaps she was his sweethéart in the days of old, perhaps not; but here what it says back of that unique picture: “This strange woman has become notor- ious throughout Colorado for her queer manner of living. The cabin is situated on the summit of Gold Hill, opposite Buena Visto, at an_eleuation of 10,000 feet, or about 3,000 feet higher than than the town. It is very difficult to ap- proach, so that few have been close enough to inspect it. The eabin was built mostly by herself, she also making all the furniture alone. Mrs, Mallen has lived in this odd place for two years, going out in the neighboring town and country to work, and when she had earned afew dollars, retreating to her mountain cabin to prospect for mineral, of which she has some: very promising claims. She carries water a mile for cooking, and provigions from town,often ing a sack of flour up the steep hill for three or four miles, where others can scarcely follow empty-handod.’” American Women in Europe. Chicago News: It is estimated that 30,000 American women were 1 Burope last summer and autumn. Twenty thousand American men went along with the majority to pay their expenses, and those who were not with this ma- jority left husbands and fathers at home to koep them supplied with funds. They went everywhere—the women—except to Spain and Russia. A few even penetrated those countries. But they didn’t affect them much. There was so little chance to shop there. But they tarried in London, Paris,Venice,Berlin, and they shopped continuously. " When they went to any other place where there was a chance to shop they sct themselves at work buying things. Sight-seeing was of secondary impor- tance; it was even overlooked in the pursuit of this fascinating pastime. One ingenious Chicago woman lingered in the Buropean capitals until after. the holidays. She landed upon the soil of her own country in a novel costume for winter weather. Every article except her boots were of costliest lace. “If it hadn’t been so cold I'd had those of lace, too,” she declared to her friends. As she personally wore itthe customs regulations couldn’t take it from her. The value of the material in which she was draped was $5,000. Y FOR THE LADIES. Yoke bodices will appear again this season.
