She Supported Herself While Writ- ing for the Press Gratis-- Bernbardt's Eccentri- city Outdone, The Vanderbilts and Astors, It was only by a rigid system of enter- tainments that the Vanderbilts eventu- ally reached the inner set of New York society, says a New York letter to the San Francisco Argonaut. Even when social prejudices began to melt before the refulgence of the Vanderbilt mil- lions there were some haughty spirits— sons, but more especially daughters, -of northern chivalry—who intimated that the hand of Douglass was his own, and never would in friendly grasp the hand of such as Vanderbilt clasp. Foremost among, these were the Astors. An Astor would not bow to a Vanderbilt on pain of death. The Montagues and the Cap- ulets, the Guelphs and the Ghibellines were friendly, not to say affectionate, in comparison with the Astors and the Vanderbilts, The Astor blood is, as everyone knows, of the purest cerulenn tint—it would be a galumny to allude to that sacred fluid as plain blue. The original John Jacob had gone to school with Schopenhauer, which is enough to have cast an aristocratic gloom over the family of Bacchus. This was the situation when the V derbilts gave thoir famous fancy ball five years ago. Noneol the Astors were asked. They had not called, The Van- derbilts had vesurrected their dignity— encrally regarded in society as both ost and gone before-—from oblivion, dusted it off, and unfurled it to the breeze. No call, no invitation, said they. Miss Astor longed to go to the ball, She waited for an invitation--- hoped, pined, drooped, despaired. Finally, in desperation, she bowed her crested head and tamed her heart of fire and called. The next day she re- ceived the coveted card, and since then the families of Vanderbilt and Astor bhave growo together like a double cherry. A Question of Morals. One of the gravest accusations wade against a theatrical life for girls is that itis the beginning of a life of immoval- ity, and that very fow women engaged in it are chaste, writes -Mrs, Jenne in the English Illustrated Magazine, No more monstrous, untrue statement has ever been made; and though it has been widely said and very generally be- lieved, it is a cuvious fact that no one bas brought forward any definite stat- istics to prove it. A woman need oo more be immoral because she is a housemaid. Every profession has its temptations, an 0O woman goes through life without heing uxposes to them, sud if wo could prove that the stage produced the largest number of the unhappy wowen who crowd our sirects we might then begin to look bout for & remedy: but human nature s the same all the world over,and there Aro as many immoral women in every class and profession as on the stage. Take two actresses wihose names rise to one’s lips at once, and English and an American woman—Lady Martin (Helen Faucit) and Mary Anderson. Are there any men ~or women who would not be proud to call them wife, mother, or sister? And when we come to a lower rank of actress, to women less weli known and distinguished, are there not hundreds of them good, true, honest English girls, who will become true and honest wives and mothers in their time even in a lower rank than they, to the ballet girl or the little girl who lives at home and helps her mother to keep a decent and happy home together, and who struggles with poverty and i ness against the temptations that beset women in the large cities, ave they not women England may be proud to call her daughters and we our sisters? There is no nobility, no dignity, like the purity of a woman who has gone through all these struggles. From Boston and 0. K. The proprietor of a fashionable West Tnd hotel does not receive young ladies who are unaccompanied by chaperons, though they hail from the United States, says the London Illustrated News. The other day a saucy young damsel from Boston went bowling along Piccadilly in high spirits and a spick and span new hansom. The **fetching” combination pulled up at the —— hotel. She bounced in and asked if she could have a room for the night. Before the clerk could twist a smile with which to decorate his regrets that every apart- ment in the house was engagzed the young lady snapped out: My mamma will pe. here to-night from Liverpool. D've telegraphed for her,” “Oh, very well; in that case you can, perhaps, be accommodated,”” gentl suggested the clerk. The new arr went on, in avoice tremulous with emo- tion, “Perhups you'd like me to send for my father, too, and my sistors, and my cousins, my aunts, and a grand- father or two.” “Mamma will answer the purpose nicely,” the clerk replied with serenit; Oh, I'm glad to know that,” replied the Boston lassie with a toss of the head. ‘‘Because it will appease your suspicions as to who I am. 1 can show you my visiting card, a certi- ficate of wy birth, the pedigreo of my family for three generations back, and the vaceination mark on my right arm.” The clerk bowed humbly, and the young lady trotted off to her apartment Indian Women ot Jepore, The crowd on foot is as gay as that upon horseback, and your eyes grow tired in trying to catch’and distinguish the strange characters you meet, says the London Bow Bells. Here comes a party of singing givls, dressed all in red and gold, singilig strange songs as they dance through the stre are not bad looking, und their limbs are loaded with anklets and bracelets. Here come some Mahommedan maidens. They are fine-looking women, but their dress is hideou: It consists of a short waist and a i wer-like pantalettes, which are very wide at the waist, but which taper down into tights at the calves, There are workingwomen as well as women of pleasure, and in some places these splendid roads are being repaired. Here low-caste women are breaking stonos, and there you s¢e a dozen of them going along with baskets of broken stone upon their heads, They throw it upon the road, and acorps of brown-skinned wen, ‘gm: limbs | clothed only in waist-cloths, and their skins shining with perspiration, are erushing it into bits with bammers. Men [ut to Shame, An incident occurred on an afternoon train on the Consolidated road the other day thiat ought to have found its way into print before this, says the Havtford Courant. Among the pussengers were three sweet and gumiet sisters of charity in their characteristicdress. A drunken man, very drunk and annoying, dranlk from a big bottle that he carried, and finally stuck his disagreeable face v peatedly into the long bounet of the sis- ter in a most insulting way. She was evidently much frightened. The con- ductor had already been told of the man’s conduct, but did nothing. The other passengers.in true pussenger fash- ion, sat and looked on, No maun stirved. Finally a woman, white asa sheet, and full of suppressed indignation, ot up from her seat and went to the rescue. She grabbed the fellow’s bottle,wrested it from his hands and flung it out of the window, and she took hold of him. and, after a lively and unassisted strucgle, got him out'of the seat. “*I'm no Roman Catholic,” she d excitealy to the spectators, “but I can’t sit still and see a sister of charity insuited.” Bernhardt's Kccentricity Ourdone. Mme. Bernhardt has disposed of the coffin that she had bought againsy the time of her bural, says the Pall Mall Gazette. But the original Sarah has been eclivsed in the matter of anticipa- tory dealings with the undertakers. In the burying ground attached to a cer- tain. pretty church there is to be seen a curious objeet in the shape of a large black towbstone, laid on an unoccupied grave. It isthe property of an eccentric lady, who wishes "all the arrangements for her funeral vo be conducted in striet accor- dance with her own views, To this end she has already settled many prelimi- naries, including notonly the purchase of the grave she is to rest in, but also of the stone which is to cover her, and here it lies already in position and only waiting the final inscription. At present only the initials of the proud owner are graven on the foot. The lady in question is still in the prime of life and in recundant health, Gay Girls at the Carn val ot Venice In carnival times the Venetian girl gives full vent to her playfulness, writes Herbert Pierson in Frank Les- lie’s popular monthly. It shows itself in many ways not ulways quite under- stood by strangers, but infinitely amu: ing to eu . One instance that is fre in my memory, as it is but a few days oid, will suffice: I was playing chess in a cafe that evening, us were others at the tables around. Everything was quiet, when suddenly arose the most deafening noise imaginable, and a sereeching crowd of masiced girls rushed into the room; they yelled, hooted and creaked; they moaned, whooped and sang; they chucked old gentlemen of serious aspect under the chin and called Caro mio!” They upset the picces on the chess boards and dropped cigar stumps into the coffee. Tne che: pluyers sat by and smiled helplessly. And this, s0 far; is the celebrated car- nival of Venice, us 1 have seen it, Mary L. Booth's Apprenticesbip. Some one writing of Miss Mary L. Booth, late editress of Harper’s Bazaar, tells how she supported hersell sewing while she wrote for the press gratis, She was ‘‘learning her profession,” as she herself expressed it, and she cer- taioly learned it to same purpose, Her success may be an encouragement to a certain brave little woman in this city, says the New York World, who, while supporting herself by writing ten hours a day in o *‘title insurance office,” at- tends art classes in the evenings, where she is busily striving to Attain sufiicient proficiency in her chosen profession to ive by itand give up Her less congen- ial occupation. Every Sunduy in sum- mer and fall finds hev out tramping the park and country roads with two or three artist friends, busy workwomen like herself, sketch book in hand, thoroughly enjoying her outing, both from an artistic and health-giving point of view. Sh> Wanted to Enter the Priesthooil A romantic story, says the London Telegraph, comes from Kalocsa, the sea of Cardinal L. De Haynald, primate of Hungary. A snort time ago a young student applied for admission s’ pupil at the priest’s seminary,and,boing duly provided with examination certificates, was at once received. The new pupil led exactly the same life as the other inmates of the estsblishment, and showed a marked disposition for study. A few days ago Cardinal Haynald visited .the seminary, and in the garden met the newcomsr who bowed respsctfully; but contrary to custom did not kiss the cardinal’s hand, His eminence not oaly noticed the omission, but it led him to examine the candidate priest somewhat closer. Theetfieminate face of the young stndent turned scarlet un- der the cardinal’s seratinizi gaze, whereupon the prelate uttered a fow words in a low tone that caused the former to return quickly to the house. Five minutes aftorward this mysterious personage had left the premises, and has not since gone back., Rumor says the individual was lady, who felt an 1r- resistable vocation to become a priest. Some of the Hungurian papers even give her name, Another Hint on Dress for € OMAWA, Oct. 26,—To the Iditor of Tue Bee: In acopy of your excellent paper I chanced to-day upon an article entitled, “The Proper Dress for Old Ladies.” Its author quoted from, and mildly criticised, a bit of conventional twaddle lately put forth in a local fash- ion column, which began with the filial uery, *‘How should our dear old peo- ple dress?” and ended with the rather stale information that they should dress in gray. While agreeing perfectfy with the author of THE BEE article as to the unbecomingness of gray for any com- plexion bul the young and blooming, and as to the pertinence of nature’s hints in her autumyal coloring, my dis- sent from the fashion column would be other grounds, The very question ‘How should our dear old people 557" implying as it does that they to be classed with ghildven and idiots, is in itself impopginent. If they are not shorn of womanly in- stinet and personality what in the name of sense hinders “‘our Gear old peoplo” from deciding this sage question of dress each for herself, with as much freedom and far mors wisdom in choice than is e \xm'l- d of eur dear young people? Why must tha old dréss in in uniform of any sort when in reality their mature charactepistics are more obviously varied ghan the crude ones of the young? Tam far from havipg, s the potency of mere col@s, ly author of the artifie in Tuk Bee expresses wheu she viges the old to *‘go forth in autumn tiwes’’ with a view to “‘brighten many & home and keep its Ladies. faith in us the woman- inmates from wandering in the mazes of vice.” [n short, my views on this mooted subject may be summed up in the simple suggestion that we pay old ladies the compliment we pay old gen- tlemen and other sane persons, of ex- pecting them to dvess as they please, each according to her notion.

Their mode of operation is a rough-and-ready one.
