She has from the outset assorted that the man whom she loved and admired so much as to m him when he was nearly three-score, and to whom she has gince borne eleven children, could not himself be guilty of dishonesty been hoodwinked, she says, which sldering the magnitude of the tions, was not difficult; but he has never sanctioned any of the plundering said to be 80 conspicuous. Mme. de Lesseps is now surrounded by her children at the cf au of La Che: naye, a historical castle where the beau- tiful Agnes Sorel once dwelt M. de Lesseps inherited the little ate and the chateau from his first wife, and for nearly thirty vs he has spent his vacations the Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since the beautiful young Creole bride aided her husband in doing the honors of recelving at this castle his cousin, the Empress Eug but she is still as fresh and b!uunnn;; as in her youth. Yet she has one daughter who was married two years ago, and ahother who is just enteringupon her sixth year. Mme, de Lesseps has been a model mother, and gracefully as she discharges her func- tions as a hostess, both at the chateau de la Chesnaye and at her handsome Paris house in the Avenue Montaigne, the forenoon of every day is devoted to the cares of the mmen A con- opers » e Would it not be wise if some exercises in the mysteries of money were added to the curriculum of every gi i A boy finds it all out by mn. the public as soon as he is out and it; but a girl, says Harper's may become a mature woman, ghrinking then through the habit of long protection, and be thrown on the mercies of the world with her money to fall the prey to the first cheat and cozen. She is taught at school the spectra of the stars, and the map of Mars; what pity that she should not be instructed in | he workings of life on the planet where she lives! That a knowledge of the n ture and meaping and care of monc should be made a part of every gir education is growing more and more evi- dent in this age of enlargement and rl'nspori!y. which puts money into the hands of o many women. And in the coming century, the woman's century, a8 it is already ‘called, in which so many women will be workers and earncers of money, it is all the more important, in order that they may be neither handi- capped nor too far outstripped, that they should be well instructed as to business movements and_ investments, that they may be directed in the right way before they set out to uun. “Tho reason a man is 5o delighted be- cause the little stranger is a boy is not because he thinks his own sex so far superior to ours, but because he knows how much less expense and responsibil- ity a boy's bringing up entails,” said a retty young mother to a Philadelphia imes writer. “A girl is a constant source of anxiety from her cradle to her rave. Of course, the training of a boy ikewiso is a great responsibility to the parent, but so many things are condoned n the son that would forever brand the daughter that there is where the great secret of the joy always expressed at the birth of a boy comes in. ““Then look at their clothes. A little boy has two or three suits, leather leg- ings, a little pea jacket and a Tam and o 18 just ‘as well dressed as any of the other small nabobs in the neighborhood. You cannot if you try make him any- thing more than a stylish little chap, whose clothes are of excellent quality and numerous enough for his actual wants. But a girl. Oh, dear! Their needs never cease. It is white dresses with needlework and white dresses with lace; China silk slips in all colors, sashes, muffs,dainty little cloaks, numer- ous hats, pins, fancy and expensive un- derclothes and a hundred and one little fal lals that are part and parcel of the feminine wardrobe but which are never required for a boy. “Then as they grow older expense decreases, though the we ment increases. In a little while he earns enough to buy his clothes at least, but his sistor grows more and more ex- pensive with y ar. . Unless pavents are very rich it is no wonder they rejoice when they are blessed with boys rather than girls to support.” the bo; Tt is & matter of fnferest in common to women, artists and some mere men that a writ San Franciseo Argonaut has reduced a statement of the tests of physical beauty to figures. A young fornia \\unullln{gn'ub personal at- ons was selected as typical of the looks among the members of her sox on the westorn scaboard.

A number of visitors to Morocco scribed the phases of family life, in Arvab house- holds, which H|i~ lady introduced, and the picture of the buxom, good-looking woman has adorned more than one odical. Now that the shereef has departed this life and has been succeeded by the son of one of his native wives, an effort is being made to deprive the English widow of a share in the old gentleman's estate unless she adopts the faith of Islam. She flatly declines to do this, f she does not come out ahead in the struggle it will be her first decisive defeat. faith that actually His imported wife declined with the other %% An ideal wedding dress was worn re- cently by Mlle. de Guyon on the oceasion of her marriage with one of the noblest scions of the French aristoe y. It was made entirely of plain white silk velvet, the short bodice being cut blouse-fashion and fastened at the waist with some soft folds of imperial satin. The slightly puffed sleeves w adorned on the shoulders with two ‘“‘jockeys” of old ipure lace anda band of the same neireled the throat.

At the Assembly wide bandsof satin and velvet, some of them puffed and ruched, were tied tight about the throat, and, it must be admitted, were slightly sugges- tive of dlphfllumm tonsilitis. Arti- ficial flowers in wreaths and garlands, which a few yea e were indispensa- bletoa ball gown, are nowhere to be seen now, and the youngest debutantes are clothed in plain, se almost, tailor-made velvets and satin. Still the present style gives a picturesque effect to a ball room, and the Empire gowns, with their balloon sleeves and straight skirts, are becoming to a well made woman who is neither angular nor ro- bust. W Millinery is excossivel now. Lace and fur add their richness to many elegant hats and bonnets. French bonnets of the most diminutive size are made of rich-toned velvets, trimmed with silk guipure lace and jeweled clasps and pins. Glace and pale- tinted velvet capotes to wear far back upon the head ave edged with a roll of fur and trimmed with iridescent passe- menterie, gem-set arvows and feather Some of the erowns of stylish vet round hats arestudded with mock jewels.

Every ks I go to Venezualw on asailing ves sel and try to bring back fifty parrots with me.” The Indians catch them up the Orinoco river, and whenever a vessel comes into port therewis a lively scram- ble on the part of the natives who have parrots or anything etse to dispose of. The training of parrotsis a regular busi- ness for many of the natives-in the sea- port towns of Venezuela, and whenever I have touched at the ports of Brazil or lombia I found it much the same, ex- cept the Brazilian parrots are harder to get along the const. Indians do nearly all the trapping, far up in the interior. **“This parrot is for a friend of mine in ninth street, to whom I have two years, but never could pick up a really fine one.

They get awful seasick on even an ordi- nary voyage and require as much atten- tion as a sick baby, and many of them get so lonesome when they are shut up alone in the hold that they die of a broken heart, it seems to me. “‘Oh, how easy they die,” reflectively sighed the man. “On one trip I was bringing up seventy fine parrots and when we were only three days out they began to take sick and die. The ship doctor said it was a kind of infectious pneumonia. At any rate, they all died but two. That was a bad voyage for me.” e T Cappa's Pranks, Many good sto are told of Cappa, the dead bandmaster. While a young man at the musical academy he for med the acquaintance of & shoemaker, who was a sort of seer in the little Italian town. They were together a great deal. The shoemaker had a habit of playing practical jokes upon his friends.

Then he hit upon a scheme for returuing the joke which had been played upon him. He put on a mask, got a brace of pistols and held up the ghost for every ¢snt it had in its pockets. At the end’of the week the young musician returned the purse to the shoemaker, with 4 word or two of advice about ghosts. While he was servirjlzin the band of an Italian regiment hoand three other young soldiers let the smselves down out of the windows of theimrooms by means of a rope in order to @iténd a masquer- | ade in the town.
