Every few days some apology for man hoad with more brass than brains jumps up with an essay on girls s abomin- able class of literature always begins with a sneer and ends with a_kick. A distinct flavor of sourness permeates it. The genuine girl (s absolutely unessayable, writes a Kentucky journalist with the Blue Grass girl in his mind, Nobody understands her; she doesn't understand herself. She fs a delightful bundle of contradictions. As wise erpent, she s as innocent as any suck ve. She is as modest as a violet and t as a barrel of molasses. She is as rosy a winter apple and as plump as an Indian summer partridge. She knows something ab the plano and lots about biscuit. She is tender with her swe and sets the dog on the other fellow is an armful of delights and blessed s the youth she takes Into partnership In wearing out the sofa. She is a dalsy and a dump- ling, and in all God's created creation there is nothing worthy to be named in the same breath with her. Them’s our sentiments, and the man who differs with us has treason in his soul and bile on his liver. It is seldom that one hears of a woman minister officiating at a wedding. Fre- quently female leaders of the Salvation army have undertaken to synchronize the beating of two hearts, but Salvation army amazons are not ordained ministers. The only cere- mony of the kind which has taken place in New York in many years occurred on June 20, when Mrs. Hanaford married Miss Aina Ayres, a New Hampshire girl, to Edward Lindquist of Glen Ridge, N. J. The wedding took place in the drawing room of the groom's country place. Mrs. Hanaford has adopted from the ceremony of her Quaker parents a wedding service of her own. The bride and groom are told to join right hands Then Mrs. Hanaford asks of the man: “Do you take this woman at your side to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising through Divine assistance to be unto her a faithful and affectionate husband until it shall pl the Lord by death you two to separate? Do you thus promise?” To the bride is put a similar question. When the groom has placed the ring on the bride's finger, Mrs. Hanaford glves the couple a few words of religious and domestic admonition. Then she announces: “By virtue of the authority invested in me by the laws of the common- wealth, and as a minister of Jesus Christ, I pronounce you man and wife. Those whom God hath joined together let mo man put asunder.” ‘After making an extemporaneous prayer, Mrs. Hanaford pronounces the bene- dietion. Few Italian mothers, and none who live in any degree of comfort, suckle their own children, and the proper kind of nurse is looked up for months before a baby is ex- pected to be born. These requisitions must be fulfilled: She must be young, strong, dark- haired, clear-skinned, must have good teeth, be of respectable family, with a good hu band, and if possible she must have a tran- quil, sercne temper, writes Ellen Olney Kirk in July Lippincott’s. She gives up her husband, her family, and her own children for two years, to take the position. An elab- orate trousseau is prepared for her by the mother of the child she is to care for, and when she enters the new service care fis taken that she shall send back every article that she has worn away from home, even to her shoes and stockings. She becomes at once a chief personage in the household. She is not only to be well paid, well fed, and well clothed, but she is to be flattered, humored, smiled at, and treated with consid eration by master and mistress, and other servants are to wait upon her. She must have no fatigue, no anxiety; above ail she must never be crossed in any wish, and if she insists that black is white, black b comes white on the instant, lest the baby should be rufiled in spirits or temper and his food disagree with him. ‘‘Stare tranquilla,” is the law of the house where the nurse is concerned. No bad news is ever told her; if her husband and relations visit her, they are to tell her only what will keep her happy and in good humor. The question came up in an English court recently whether or not a woman’s mouth could come under the legal designation of “‘a property or thing,” the counsel for the plain- tift having asked the judge to give an order for the special cxamination of said mouth that it might be ascertained whether or not a set of false teeth which it contalned were properly made. The magistrate came to the conclusion, says the Philadelphia Press, that he could make no order on the application, thus virtually declining to admit that a mouth is “‘a property or thing."” Whatever else It may, or may not be, a mouth is generally the most characteristic feature of a face; it s the only feature over whose expression its possessor has much control. It is a mistake to regard the eyes as very expressive of themselves, as is proved by a form of amusement, populas among young people—that of hanging up a sheet with a hole in It just large enough to admit a human eye without its facial surroundings. Unless the color is especially distinguishing, or the lashes remarkable, it is almost impossible to tell one eye from another, But the mouth Is decidedly characteristic of its owner. To the lover his sweetheart's mouth is invariably beautiful. An expres- sionless button hole, If it belongs to the loved one, Is & rose bud; a wide mouth indi- cates frankness and generosity, and thick lips are “pouting” and thin ones firm and decided. Of all disagreeable facial charac- teristics a mouth that will not shut or stay shut is one of the most disagreeable; in con- junction with a receding chin it indicates great weakness of character. Red lips are both beautiful and indicative of good health. Who ever heard of a heroine whose lips were mentioned at all, and y: wera not described as a “‘ripe” or “luscions’ red? And probably a heroine of fiction at least existed whose teeth were not white. may at a pinch be a trifle ir- regular, but Invariably of pearly whiteness. Solomon himself, whose wisdom occasionally took the form of poetic good taste and ap- preciation of beauty, admired teeth that were “like a flock of sheep that are evel shown, which came up from the washing, and the lips of his admiration are like unto “a thread of scarlet.” Telling ghost stories for a living is what one young English woman Is doing, says the New York Sun. Her family with reverses—it is the usual story. What could she do to earn an honest penny? “I cannot teach, T cannot paint, T cannot write, nor will I dig, or beg, or steal. What can I do—what shail I do? the ques- tion she put to a friend whose sympathy she did not doubt, although she did her ability to give her any practical reply. After a_moment or two of hard thinking, the friend said: “There Is one thing, at least, that you can do and do well—you can tell ghost stories.” Acting upon this suggestion she soon after joined the ranks of young women who sup- port themselves and became a ghost story teller, and a great success she has made of the profession, if such it can be called. An American lady who formed one of a house party at an English country place last winter speaks enthusiastically of the success of the undertaking, and says that a very pleasant two hours were those which the party spent in listening to the thrilling and blood-curdling stories told by the young girl, who was bright, pretty and well dressed She was treated as a guest, and supposed by the greater number of the party to be one, and to have very obligingly consented to tell tales for the amusement of her com- panions. The check which she received from the hostess was for a goodly amount— about what a singer or musiclan would re- celve, Wheather telling ghost stories for a liveli- hood would meet with any success in this country Is & question. Since house parties are becoming so much the fashion among the smart set in America possibly the services of a young lady who had a knack this way might be turned to advantage. A rainy afternoon is the time when every- thing drags. There is no tennis, no goif, no riding, no driving, one can't read all the time, and music and dancing ar for the evening; story telling, then, comes in very acceptably, In England one always counts P e | Mme, M.Yale's Excelsior Complexion Remedies.
