A DRESS REHEARSAL.

Good Story of a Young Miss Who

Yearned for Society. A good story is told concerning one af last winter's debutantes, and since

the heroine tells it on herself there is ao impropriety in making it public.

The winter before last Miss M. was still in the schoolroom, and though she possessed social aspirations they were not gratified by her mother. A cousin from Philadelphia came to spend the month of January with the family, and, being an heiress and accustomed to going about a great deal, her wardrobe wasa thing of wonderful fascination to little Miss M. Singularly enough, the figures of the two girls were of an exact size, and the younger found con- stant delight in arraying herself in the frippery belonging to her good natured cousin. Many an hour was devoted to flouncing about the third story with long skirts and hair tucked up under the latest bonret importation, and there was much secret practice with lorgnette and fan.

Mrs. M. and the rich cousin were plunged to the eyebrows in social gaye- ties, to the envy of the young daughter of the house. One day Mrs. M. was indisposed, and the rich cousin was con- fronted with the necessity of attending by herself a musicale, three teas and making the cabinet calls) When she be- moaned the fact of going alone, her youthful kinswoman was seized with an inspiration. ‘‘Oh, well,’ said she, *‘lend me some of your clothes and let me go with you. Mother will never know anything about it.’’

Being as amiable as rich, the visitor consented, promising herself a treat in beholding her young cousin's entrance into society. Only a short time was nec- essary for the changes of costume, and when the heiress appeared at Mra Blank’s musicale every one turned to look twice at the stunning little figure. It was a vision of bright eyes behind a tantzlizing veil, rebellious yellow curls curelessly knotted and feathers, laces, velvets and silks irresistibly Frenchy.

If she was the sensation of the musi- cale, she was the universal rage at the tess. Every one wanted to meet her. Young men fell over themselves end others to obtain for her an ice or a mar Tou.

And all the time the little socicty fledgling was quaking and fearing and blushing and suffering agonies behind the veil It was embarrassing to ac- knowledge that she was not going to this and that social function, had not seen the latest theatrical success, did not even know the visiting nobleman all the girls were raving over. Deeper and deeper she became involved, and the number of fibs necessary to invent paralyzed her conscience.

And the little Miss M. breathed a #gb of relief when, arrayed in her own angle length gown, she was safely in- stalled in her own home. Presumably her trials were ended. But not so; there Were consequences to be faced.

, The wext morning Mrs M. appeared

at the breakfast table, and in the bunch of mail there were several small envel- opes addressed to Miss M. Also there were others with the inscription ** Mr. and Mra M. and Miss M.’’ Mrs. M. passed these over with only an elevation of the eyebrows, but her daughter thought it wise to leave the room. Open- ing her private letters, Mrs. M. read a note from a friend apologizing for a so- cial error and inviting Miss M. to assist at her at home that afternoon. A second note contained an apology for not hav- ing invited Miss M. to a debutante luncheon on the previous day.

Mrs. M. was completely mystified, bet an early visitor soon opened her eyes. This visitor called hurriedly to say how surprised she was that Mrs. M. was introducing a daughter, and compliments were profuse upon the beauty and success of that daughter. **She was quite the sweetest thing yes- terday at the musicale. Every one fell in love with her. I want her to fill an unexpected vacancy in my young peo- ple’s dinner tonight.’’

Mrs. M. gasped out: ‘‘There must be gome mistake. 1 bave no daughter in society.’’

‘Why, your niece introduced her to ene,’’ interrupted the astonished visitor. But by this time Mrs. M. was ring- fing the bell furiously and both niece and daughter were hurriedly summon- ed. Explanations followed, and ulti- mately forgiveness, but it was some time before Mrs. M. managed to con- vince society that she was not launching @ beautiful daughter that season.

Last winter, when this same charm- ing girl came out formally and correct- ly, and in her own instead of borrowed finery, there must have been several so- ciety men saying to themselves: ‘‘ By Jove, where have I seen sormebody like

| Hineks, Sir L J

Miss M.? Must have been some one I

mot last season.’’— Washington Stax. ee

writes

THE NEW BRUNSWICK.

“The Canadian has lately made such a brave effort to achieve success as the ree presentative magazine of Canada that we shouid have been pleased to have seen it remain unopposed for some time to come. But it is pos-ible that competition will cause additions! exertion on the part of its editor and contributors and hinder vot the work of establishing it upon a firm fouad- ation; and if s0, we mav cordially welcome the New Brunswick Mayszine, the first number of which isto band. The New Brunswick makes an exceedingly neat ap- pearanct; and it contains a number of in- teresting and instructive articles and sketches on New Brunswick topic, by New Brunswick writers. ‘The latter in- clude James Hannay, the histor an and editor, Rev. W. ©. Raymond, M. A., W. F. Ganong Montague Chamberlain Jonas Howe andthe Elitor. There isa great deal of information in the first num ber;and the style of the articles is decided- ly racy aud pleasing. The New Bruaos- wick Magazine reflects great credit upon New Brunswick and particularily upon ita plucky editor and publisher, Mr. W. K. Reynolds. It is published monthly in St. John. The subscription price is $1.50 per anu pum; single copies 15 cents,

LADIES” HOME JOURNAL.

The President on horseback rides spirit~ edly across the coverof the July Ladies’s Home Journal under his new flag, and his chief characteristics are detailed in an 3}- lustrated anecdotal biography, contributed by his nearest and most intimate friends. Very timely also, is “the President’s Marab,” composed by Victor Herbert and designed to be played as a compliment to the head of the nation whenever itappears in public. At this time mueh interest will be taken in the original Declaration of Indeptndence, now guarded from public gaze; which, with the original draft of the treasured document, is photographically reproduced inthe July Journal by ar- rangement with the State Department.

On the editorial page Edward Bok write for women and young men, and Miss Lill-ao Bell, who writes fromSt. Peters- burg, tells of how she made a snap-ehot photograph of the Czar of Russia, “Where Christmas is like the Fourth of July” describes a New Orleans Chri-tmae, and “A Peace-Loving People” gives au interesting glimpse into the lives and cus-~ toms of the quaint, picturesque Dunkers. “Sam Markhai’s Wife,’ Hamlin Qarlan’s vew Western siory, and Julia Magruder’ serial, “A Heaven Kissing Hill,” are strong fiction features. Mrs. S. Rorer writes on “Forty Kinds of Summer Sandwiches” and “The Best Foods for Stout and Thin Women,” and other contri- butors also present articles of practical value and interest to women in the home. By The One dollar per year; ten cents per copy.

SCRIBNER’S,

The War leads the July number of Scribner’s Magazine. No one saw its be- ginnings under more favorable cir mv- stances than Richard Harding Davis, As correspondent of the London Times be has been accorded every privilege, aud was fur weeks on the flagship ‘New York.” His account of *The First Shot of the War” aud “The First Bombardment” is .he graphic pieture of what an eye witness exw when the “Buen Ventura” was taken and Mantanzas was bombarded. His pre- eminent faculty ot making real to tie inaagination what he bas seen has never been afforded a better opportunity. How it feels to be On & great warebip in action is is made vivid. Snap-shot |fphoto- graphs by Mr. Davis add tothe sense of reality. ‘The ship seemed to work and to fight by herself:” he says, “you hear vo human voice of conmand.” Mr. Davis will write for no other magazine about the War, and his articles wi)! be a retrospective narrative of its most dramatic features, with abundant illustrations,

“Manila andthe Philippines” are de scribed by Isaac M. Eliott, for three years United States Consul at Manila. He tells of the oppressions by Church and Govern- ment; of the way in which money is made and lost by foreigners; of the climate, mode of life, and amusements—in short, just those things that everybody wants to know about since Admiral Dewey’s great victory. The illustrations are from the collections of photographs of Joseph Earle Stevens and the author.

Captain Mahan (now of the naval! Stra~ tegy Board at Washington) writes of the most popular naval hero ot the Revolution, “John Paul Jones.” This analysis of the qualities of a greet naval commander, by the leading authority of the present day, ie of timely interest. Capt. Mahan quotes Jonesas writing more than 100 yeare, “It isthe work of many years’ study and experience to acquire tbe high degree of science necessary for a great sea officer” — which has been abundantly demonstrated

by recent events. A concluding paper in August will describe the great fight of the **Bohomme Richard” and “Serapis.” Both papers are il!ustrated.

“Undergraduate Life at Smith College” is written by a recent graduate, Miss Alice Ka'harine Fellows, who shows by her attractive picture of the social life there that College is not a cloister to develop a race of nuns.” The novel .

“Louse” system of dormiteries is de- scribed, aud the many amusements that give color to the college year. Walte

Appleton Clark’s series of pictures were eketched from life during a recent visit of some months at Smith.

Mr. Wyckotl depicts this month a Workingman’s Sunday in Chicago, includ- ing attendance upon a fashionable church, luncheon with Socialistsin a cheap res taurant, arda Sunday afternoon meeting of prominent socialists, with an account of (heir argyments and their oratory.

What is believed to be the oldest piece of wrought iron io the world is a roughly fashioned sickle blade found by Belzoui in Karnak, near .Thebes, and is now in the British Museum. Having been found imi edded in mortar under the base of the Sphinx, it is knows as ‘the sickle of the Sphuix.” It is believed to b+ four thousand years old. The preserva~ tive properties of mortar surrownding iroa are being constantly realized by those who are pulling down old buildings.

WOODEN CLOGS IN JAPAN.

ae

“The Little Japanese at’ Home’ ia the title of an article by Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett in St. Nicholas. Miss Hodnatt says:

Tabi (tah-bee};.socks of blue or white: cotton cloth, are worn on the little fees. They are made like mittens, with: a place for the great toe separate from: the others, so as: to allow the sip) which fastens om the clogs to pas he-. tween. The clogs are made of wood and: have two little wooden pegs under the. soles, high or low, according to the taste of the wearer, but in either sase capable of making a great clatter an. wood, stone or pebbles. Fortunate)p it is not the custom: to wear any footgear: besides the socks in the house. The sin- gie strap divides into two parts, which pass on each side of the foot and fasten to the clog. These straps, or thongs, on little girls’ clogs-are sometimes gayly colored. Witmbut one fastening, it is an easy mattemto take off the alogs when entering ashouse and leave them on the veranda, and the custom ‘m-cer- tainly conducive: to tidiness. It: is a necessary custom, for the clogs wowld be ruinous to the-fine soft mats covering the floor.

Complexiom is another importaat and interesting point to the Japanese girl as well as to hem American and European misters.

The Cost of War.

The result of the Crimean war gave to the British nation not one single foot of foreign sei]; nor any pecuniary com- pensation whatsoever. The only benefit derived from the war, which lasted two years, was to keep Russia out of Con- stantinople-and give the English a way to India and the east that was wndis- puted. For this end the British lost 23, - 744 men killed in action og died from wounds, cholera or other diseases. The loss to the French allies im the same campaign has been estimated at 63,500 and the Russians as high as 500,000. The war also cost the British $205, 205, - 000. War is a costly as well as a dan- gerous business. It is the court of last

resort with natious nowadays as it was ’

the first in ancient times,
