Skiy h writing in the Philadelphia Tfies: Claiming the old eman's privi- Tege of gencros'ty, [ will give the story of the kiss as It came to me, partly through the gossip within the precinets of the Imperial palace of Brazil, partly through the gossip of navai circles the year after the occurrence, This tempest of anger, hot and fierce, and of fun, loud and boisterous, was created by a bright, handsome, dashing Philadelpl youth, a scion of one of the oldest, most powerful and generally beloved Philadelphia Vietgie S¢ A PARLOR Complé the envy of your cash or easy payme: HE A beauiiful Velvet A handsome Carpe An elegant Fnug Two neat Winde What 848 60 Wi families, who had left his na city for the first time in 1829 to do his devoir as a mid- shipman on the Brazilian station. Barton was his name, and under the inspiration of his first naval uniform h; had been doing some rath His sister and a bevy of her rather disgusted at his airs, had qu his ability to realize his big boasts, nong his wild pledge to Kiss a foreign ted his native city. which w princess before he revi This extravagant pledge appeared to his gister about on a par with the promise of Monsieur Paracles to recover from the enemy the captured drum, and suggested the wager of a suit of clothes made by the most fashionable Chestnut street tailor a t the most costly silk dress in the Quaker City. After a year or cighteen months of in- cessant watching for an opportunity to re- deem his pledge, Barton at last found the object of his long sea: Almost within the precincts of the palace the ro; | of state came rambling along one of narrow streets, followed at a short distance by a sq of mounted Huzzars. In the coach were the two young princesses, the sisters of the late Emperor Dom Pedro, who, then about 10 years old, was under the tutelage of a regent. Barton saw the state coach approaching and planned his auda- cious scheme With cool and excellent judg- ment. He stood at a corner where the coach would probably turn, out of sight for a moment of the lazy escort, and_ quicker than thought he had, regardless of hazard and peril, rashly jumped up behind and through the aperture behind, kissed one of the royal occupants of the coach. Of course the princess screamed, because it was all done in open day in one of the most frequented thoroughfares of Ithe city of Rio Janeiro. Having won his wager with his sister, Barton resumed his position at the banquet as if nothing had happened. The amazement of the Huzzars at such a daring and perilous action was so great as to paralyze speedy retribution, and Barton returned unmolested by the sunset boat from the palace stairs to his ship. But ho was. not left long in quiet on his ship. The hot blood of the Braganzas was up in arms, calling loudly for the death of the plebelan al miscreant who had soiled the ro malden’s cheek with his hot plebeian breath The regent made a demand for the deliy of the young offender, to be held to answer to the offended laws of Brazil, first upon the captain of Barton's ship, which was promptly refused, and then upon the sec- retary of state at Washington. The evi- dence of Barton's culpability left no loop- ole open through which even a Phila- delphia lawyer could find escape. And Mr. Forsythe, General Jackson retary of state, was at his wits en how to avold making an abject apology to the in- censed Braganzas, the Portuguese branch of that blue-blooded family having come into the quarrel to rescue the family honor from w detested plebeian’s audacious desecration ©of tha cheek of their royal cousin of Brazil. As a tub to the angry Braganza whale a court martial appointed to try Barton for his contumacious familiarity with the in- sulted Brazilian princess. The sentence of the court was that Barton should be cashiercd from a profession he had so signally outraged. "That sentence was sent by special messenger to the Brazilian regent and our government was courteously thanked for the prompt rep- aration it had made. It was a fact, not per- haps known to the Brazilian regent, that the sentence of the court could only take cffect after the dent's approval, vhen the gentence was laid before the president for approval, he scouted the idea of ~stigmatizing young gentleman for an act rash and peril- ous, but too strictly in line with human weakness to be dishonoring. Summoning Barton to Washington before action on the sentence of the court martial, the venerable president accosted Barton thus: “Did you kiss that Brazilian princess as s charged against you?’' T did,” was the unhesitating reply. “What prompted you to such a rash, impudent act Was she so ravishingly beautitul?” “No, replied Barton, ‘“she had large, lovely, almond-shaped eyes and a splendid suit of dark hair, which hung nearly to her feet in two heavy plaits, altogether a very pretty girl, scemingly in bad health. Why, gen- eral, I have kissed the rosy cheeks of a hun- dred pretty girls in Philadelphia and the: never made half the fuss that this tallow-faced Brazillan has. It was a momentary impulse to win a wager 1 made with my sister before sailing for the coast of Brazil. And as for the enormity of the offense I cannot seo it in that light at all. I felt at the moment that as an Amel fcan officer I was conferring an hono furning from his handsome young subordi- nate with a pleasant smile to his secretary of the navy the commander-in-chiet of the and navy thus addressed him: *Wood- cy, 1 rather like the boy for his dash and daring and outspoken candor. He did no more than you or 1 or any member of the abinet would probably have done at his age Woodbury, and his place. Reinstate him, upon the books of your department, making a small memorandum opposite his name to the effect that he is rather too excitable for service in the torrid zone. Until one gets a peep Into the practice of a modern dermatologist no idea can be formed of the number of people who are dis- pleased with their looks, who rebel at the style of nose, ear or eyebrow bestowed upon them by natire, and who will leave nothing undone to remedy the defects, Science has advanced in that direction. Such strides have been made in plastic surgery that the Qispleased mortals may have their features changed to conform with thelr peculiar ideas of faclal beauty and to make up for nature's shortcomings. The young girl who has a plquant little face does not object to the little upward tilt of her nose, says the New York Tribune; fn fact, she is rather proud of it, for she knows that its pose adds to her attractive- pess and emphasizes her quaintness, But to the tall woman with otherwise regular feat- ures and a firm presence the “pug nose’’ is & source of annoyance and to her the modern Aermatologist is an angel in disgulse, “The operation of reducing the pug Is a pimple and almost painless one.”” sald the surgeon in charge, demonstrating one of these cases. “A little cartilage is taken from - the tip of the upturned member, the Elllghl wound is dressed and then a clamp adjusted, which gives the nose a tendency n the right direction, and in a few days the change from ‘pug’ to straight has been perfected. We have had a number of these cases; one was a tall man, an actor by pro- fession, who thought his nose the greaiest pbstacle in his way to success. It was an A DINING handsome. payments......

Close evenings at 6:30 except- ing Mondays and Satu ugly feature, sure enough, and being in a caliing where the slightest pretext for chaf fing and guying is made the most of, it was no wonder he wanted the change made. We helped him,” the doctor added, “and sent him away after ten days treatment with a new and a better nose.’ “A hump on a man's back the doctor said, “must remain, but there is no good reason why a man or a woman should carry a hump around on the nose. In proof of his ability to conquer this faclal blemish, he showed a “before” and “after” picture of one of his patients, whose nose, Roman in the superlative degree, had been modified until it became a thing of beauty. But it Is not the fll-shaped nose alone that has yielded to the dermatologist's art. The ‘“lop-eared” man who discovered too lata that by pulling his cap down over his ears those members lost their shape, pro- jected and made him look unlike the man nature intended him for, has an instrument placed on his ears, and after a few weeks ho is the lop-eared man no longer. Women whose ears have become deformed through fmproper hairdressing, are among those who come for relief, and many who were “‘born 50" have the defect remedied. Then there are the persons whose eyebrows meet over the nose and form a continuous line “We have outgrown the belief in the ‘devil's ‘mark’ and all the superstitions which are linked to the coutinuous eye- brow,” sald the doctor, “but we must con- fess that this particular blemish gives the face a sinister expression. Now, with an electrical fnstrument we remove the super- fluous hair and change the scowling face into one open and frank.' Moles and birthmarks are made to disap- pear under treatment, and even wrinkles which time leaves are cheated and de- frauded out of being. A young woman who had the habit of corrugating her forehead by elevating the eyebrows had four deep furrows across the brow which added sey- eral years to her age In looks, and did nothing to enhance her beauty. She went to a dermatologist, submitted to an op and a smooth brow was the result. “It was not a painful operation,” the doc- tor explained, “nor I8 it one about the re- sult of which there can be any doubt. We make a horizontal incision along the fore- head at its junction with the scalp, then another elliptical Incision is made, and the tissue bounded by these incislons is dis- sected out. The lips of the wound are drawn together, thus overcoming the relax- ation which results in the formation of wrinkles. True, before the operation the woman wore her halr brushed straight back, but now, to hide the scar, she wears a little bang, and looks years younger for the change.” Probably the strangest work done In this nature-improving establishment {s the mak- ing of dimples. In speaking of this pe- cullar specialty the doctor said: “It is some years now since I was first asked to make & dimple, and was inclined to treat the request as a joke, till the young woman assured me that she was serious about it and could not be perfectly happy until she had a dimple in her left cheek. She was a fine looking girl, too, and the thought of putting a knife into her plump, rosy cheek was repellant to m “I reasoned and argued with her, told her that she might be made hideous, that the operation might leave a great red scar on her face, and that she was too fair to run such chances It was of no use, she insisted on having a dimple, as a child will on having a toy, and finally, at her own risk and with the darkest kind of a picture before her of what might be the result, I performed the operation, and since then I have dissuaded no one who wants a dimple, because the operation was a success, like many of the same kind performed since. The dermatologist showed a large collec- tlon of (photographs to substantiate his statements, and to convince the doubter of the fact that man can, with sclentific aid, frequently improve on natute. Mr. Walter Besant has taken the public into his confidence concerning the kind of woman he considers admirable, and no one will dispute his right to his own taste. He describes the lady who won his admiration carefully, says the New York World, but it is doubtful If very many young persons will attempt to grow up in the same way. He says: “I' have just heard that my old friend, Miss S., an anclent lady whom so many have known for so long, has passed away. She was over 76 years of age; she had led the most quiet possible of lives; she had never married; she had never done any kind of work; she had always possessed more than a sufficiency; she was not especially active in church or parish work; she kept her charities quite to herself; she did not belong to any active assoclations; she had scant sympathy with the aspirations of many modern dames; she loathed the thought of notoriety; she never wrote a novel; she never made a speech. One would say, per- haps, t , as she is now dead, and will be forgotten in the course of twenty or thirty years, the world is exactly as if she had never lived. This, however, would be sald ders a little the 1 to have pro- in haste. To one who con good lady's life can be pro duced most excellent fruits. To begin with, she was a person of considerable culture She played very prettily without alming at professional execution; she composed songs which showed feeling if not power; she wrote graceful verses to which she sometimes fitted music; she painted a little and sketched very tolerably. She read a great deal of poetry, chiefly of the nobler kind; she entertained a profound horror for that kind of poetry or fiction that lays bare the springs and tears off the vell and de- stroys the flowers of affection which belong to the ordered life and hallow it. Purity and goodness were to her a part of good breeding, for she was, above all things, a gentlewoman.” Then Mr. Besant goes on to tell the value of such a woman in advancing civilization He says: “Such a woman raises the moral as well as the aesthetlc standards for many a long milo about her. She advances civilization Wo are always tempted to think the life of action more useful than the life of leisure; in contemplating the life of this gent woman, one is constrained to acknowledgo that they also may serve who only seem to sit apart from the struggle in dignified re- pose and rest." It is fairly evident that the product of the ladies' academy is more to Mr. Besaut's liking than that of tHe woman's college. Gowns for little girls never cease to be in teresting to those who have to make or buy them, and children require so many changes that every varylng phase of their little aresses is welcome to those who must supply the need. Their styles were never prettier, or soft, clinging material, which are so be- coming to children, in greater variety. A dainty frock of white China silk, dotted with satin® bird's-eye spots, and suitable for a girl of 8 years, is trimmed on the skirt with two rows of lace insertion over yellow satin ribbon, which also trims the revers, and forms three bands up and down the walst both back and front. A pale green wool crepon, or cashmere if preferred, for it is fashionable again, has a shirt cut basque, a plain walst, and turn-back revers opening over a vest striped with white embroidery. One row trims the skirt and edges the col- lar. A simple little sailor costume made ol blue wool serge is trimmed with bands, vest and collar of white silk. Square lace collars are a special feature of children’s gowns, and the waists are usually full, particularly in wash materials. What electricity is doing and will do for table decoration Is foreshadowed in an ac- count of a recent feast, where a dish of jelly was illuminated by an electric light Shining through the mass. The effect of this dish, set in flowers and protected by a silver cover till the moment of exposure, Is very striking and original. The use of minute electric batteries is making m startling effects possible. Jewels, flowers and food can be lighted up in remarkable Even the illumi sible to the wizard, and very effective ways. nation of goldfish was po Edison, who set them in a little table pond as an ornament, and, having got them to swallow tiny electric lamps connected with a dynamo by an almost invisible wire passing from the mouths, they flashed about brilliant and resplendent.

The following article which appears in the Medical Record stamps this engaging dance with a most desirable cachiet nstructors and students of the physical education of women were quick to see that the various forms of ‘skirt: dancing’ which have o taken public fancy, had value as gymnastic oxercises. Certain modest modifications of this style of rhythmic motlon have been in- troduced into the gymuasium and with excellent results. Young people soon get tired of the inanities of wands, wooden dumbbells, and of mechanical movements to the strumming of an asthmatic piano. The more there is of a dance movement to calisthenics, therefore, the better the exer clse 18 liked and the more useful It becomes. The dancing academy could be made the best of gymnasiums it it were ever properly ventilated, and the pupils were properly dressed and under intelligent control. As this is impossible the most feasible thing now will be to inoculate our gymnasiums for glrls and women with more of the dance movements. Our youth would not only gain strength, agllity, gracefulness, and health, but would learn to distinguish what is beau tlful in dancing movements from that which is coarse and vulgar.” The first and only lady lawyer of India is Miss Sorabiji, a clever Parsee.
