SIDE TALK TO GIRLS. It isnot out of place fora young woman to ask the privilege of seeing her betroth, should he be sick, provid- ing she makes the request to his mother or those in charge. Always when a bride gives something toward her future home, let it be the; linens and let them be marked in her | maiden name. z The only gifts recognized as proper from a gentleman to a lady are flowers books, music, or sweets. It isnot manly fora young man to im- press upon a girl that he thinks a great deal of her, “just for fun;” and silly is the girl who can be so easily influenced. Asensible girl will make a man prove his seemingly devotion tu her, other than his mere words. No man will consume a girl’s time for five years when his intentions are pure, except referring to their weddizg day, and no girl should allow such, except they are engaged, and even then the wise girl will become tired. Girls should learn how to cook, wash, and iron as well as sew, write, and read, as few men want a woman who can’t make bread or cook. Secret marriages are very much disap- proved, and the suggestion of one is anything but a compliment to a young woman. No gentleman a right to absorb the greater portio fayoung woman’s time, except hem __ ps to ask her to be his wife, nor should a girl allow such frequent attentions otherwise. No young woman should visit a young man’s home unless an invitation was extended to her by his mother, and if he has a sister it would be advisable to wait for her to pay you a visit. It is yery unhappy to find a friend acting ina false manner. All that one ean do isto try and forget this false friend and cultivate the friendship of those we believe to be honest and true Do not think that because a young man does noc indulge in wines and refrains from smoking, as well. that he is unsociable; such men usually make good husbands Young women when holding a posi- tion of the masculine sex should de- mand the same wages. Already men have begun to complain of women bringing down their wages. \FRO-AMERICAN PRESS AS SOCIATION. Proaram OF Ex$rclsts FOR JULY 9,10, and l1ri.

Chase, The Bee; My Dear Sirre - I will produce a play from the pen of Victorien Sardou, entitiet *HELENA,’ at Washington. D.C, September, 2, 1895. This play 1 consider the best I have ever read, and it will be my purpose to give it a prodection far surpassing any thing I have ever heretofore done. I will not leave a stone unturned to make this the grandest event of my professional life. This is not an uatired play, as it is met with urqualified success on its first pre- sentation in Paris. Toe gentle- man who made tbe translation for me was iu Paris at the time it was procuced, and will be with me da- ring my rebearsals, so that each and every set of scenery will be as near as possible to the original production of the play, as well as the stage business for the actors. All of the S:enery will be repro- duced from photozreps of the place in which the tragedy was en- acted, ‘*Holy Sienna.” The Costumes will all be made express!y for this production from plates brought over trom Paris. Tue Music will be original and io ; keeping with the time of the drama The Company will be composed of the best artists In the legitimate school. Yeurs very truly, Rott. Downing. (Copy of a letter from Bicknell Dudley,E-q., author cf the latest successful novel, “The Hugenots.” New York. June 1, 1895. Robert Downing, Exq., Dear Si L have just beard of your pur- chase of the play “Helena,” by Vietorien Sardou, and I wish to offer you may hearty congratula tions ou your gool judgment. I had the pleasure of witnessing the play when it was produced in Paris, and it has always beeo a mystery to me why it has pever beev acted in English. It 13 ack nowledged to be one of Sardvu’s masterpieces, and in my opinion, every bit as strong as “Gismonde,” now being played with such great success by Miss Fanny Davenport. Io Paris the part of Orso was played by M. Lafontaine, apd Hele- na by Mile. Lia Felix, a sister of Rachel, but, superb as those artists were in the roles, I am sure that you and Mrs. Downing will daph.- cate their triumph. Tbe parts in my judgment seem to be peculiar- ly well suited to you both, aud I predict for you even a greater suc- cest than you achieved in ‘The Gladiator.” By the way you will require a very strong company for the ‘play, and there is a great opportunity for scenic effect. Wishing you every success, I am my dear sir, Very sincerely yours, BICKNELL DUDLEY: The @©ld Pomirion BILLIARD PARLOR, Just opened at 1213 (7th St. N.W: Thommses & Hughes, J. H.
