husbands for the girls under its charge The fit and proper here is much like the fit and proper of the one re quisite being that the young man is bound to show himself in possession of sufficient means to maintain a wife in com fort before he is allowed to aspire to the hand of one of those precious damsels Having given in his credentials of pit iless to the guardian he receives a cayd which admits him next Sunday morning to an inspection bf the candidate for matrimony There sitting on a bench if his curiosity and ardor will allow him to remain sitting he awaits the arrival on the other side of the grating of the Lady Superior accompanied by a girl She had "been selected by order of seniority and capacity for house hold work fromthe hundred or more between 17 waiting for a youth to

These good sisters believe so fully in the guage of the eye that in their minds: any addition is futile and might but' serve to mystify the pure and perfect effect of love at first sight The look over the Lady Superior asks the man if he will accept the mai den as his bride Should he answer in the affirmative the same question is put to her and if she bows assent the be trothal has taken place and they part till the Sunday following The young lover again makes his appearance before the tribunal bf guardians and there the contract is signedtheday of mar riage fixed and he is granted leave to bring the ring earrings and wedding dress and present through the gridiron of course to his betrothed a Everything has to pass the scrutinyof the sisters for fear of a letter or some tender word being slipped in with the gifts During the few Sundays that intervene between the first love scene and the marriage an conversation within hearing of the Lady Superior is allowed but not a touch is exchanged The empty talk interspersed with gig gling consists of inquiries as to the wed ding dress and the occupation and place of abode of the suitor Should the young man refuse the first damsel presented to him he is favored with the of three or four more but' should he still appear difficile he is dis missed The girl also has the power of refusal The marriage over the task of i the sisters

have cruelly distorted the true facts of the case rom the London "Worli As the conduct has been thesubject of considerable comment it be comes a kind of duty to give the true account the whole matter As everybody knows the Right Rev Everton and Tauphie was a very broadchmchman Had he not boldly op posed the Tractarian movement in his Oxford days? Did he not recently ex pend the episcopal aegis to major the Oity Boad Devil Dodger when that converted reprobate pitched his tent within the very shadow of the palace and preached eternal damnation in the choicest of cockney Indeed the bish had been known to smile on Mr purgeon and beam benevolently upon metropolitan Moodies and suburban hankies The curate of his diocese were not interdicted from cricket nor his rectors from lawn tennis and I am not in a position to contradict thb ru mor that the bishop has been known to cut into a rubber for threepen and in the shadow of a stage box once saw Mr Irving play Shy lock Indeed when ulian his only son was at Eton his father rejoiced more at his winning the public school rackets than in his carrying off the Prince prize for foreign languages and when up at Oriel he found his way into the joy was so great as moments positively undignifiedHe liked his son to be in the best set in 'town he cheerfully paid entrances andsubscriptions to various clubs the namesof which were certainly unfamiliar to him but which Julian assured him even for a infant A rich and honorable aliance for Julian "began to be a very definite object in the episcopal eye and consequently he highly approved of Julians country house visits his cheery letters contain ing catalogues of the notabilities with whom he had Olced or shot or played charades were balm to his soul and at breakfast over an of the pre vious dinner and dance the sacredotal spirits sensibly revived Nominally Julian was going to the bar and duly ate dinners or rather sulked in dignified silence at the Middle Temple 6 mess in full evening dress and refused the proffered joint on the ground that he never ate boiled mutton in the afternoon Naturally enough this statement irritated his poor breth ren especially as it was wont to bolt to the Orleans for dinner the moment grace was said Bearing these facts in mind it will be understood that the Bishop was rather hurt when it came to his ears that his son had been frequently een at Mrs Gideon and in Cockerton Crescent Bayswater and had subsequently been observed at' St Hall on Monday evenings ap parently enwrapped in the strains of a iSpohr quartet in company with a pretty little girl known to all Bayswater as Kitty Blewsby When finally? 'MissGrabble told him that the pair had been noticed shopping at he could stand it no longer do my said the Bish op one day may be all'you probably is but then you know Blews by is a solicitor attorneys we used to call them a' Dissenter and I like it besides the Crabbies talk about it 'J dear said Julian some what hotly Crabbie is a memberof the Browning society and an Esoter ic Buddhist and all the rest of it but she is a frowsy old gossip for all that and MissBlewsby is a charming naturalgirl and worth fifty of Crabbie and The Bishop looked aghast you know going to the bar one must make friends with solicitors and her fafiuer has lots of work to give a Even the professional plea soften the Bishop and he' wrinkled his brow and his apron both usually as he said indignantly taking his bedroom candle per fectly monstrous!

Ayay he went toward Park Corner and ay dint of most undignified shoutings succeeded in stopping the carriage just as it reached the big bronze warrior who now shelters himself in sculptured sulkiness under four trees opposite St Hospital It was a 'charge vith a ven geance! You my Lor Bishop cried out the little white nun shrinking back as he puffed at the window for she was quite familiar with his appearance al though this was their first' interview me in Jear Miss Blewsby must talk to vou and at and as he got in he panted out to the astonished coachman who had never seen a Bishop in a hurry does thisall vQ' Pm so sorry sobbed Sister Kit ty wiping her eyes with her veil never thought you would find jt out and of course it was very wrong but you see they" made me prdmise and there are other girls I know there and what could I do? I loved him Now the Bishop would have vastly preferred to have been preached to death by wild curates (as Sydney Smith once suggested) than face a pretty girl in teats However he bound to go through with it how: so he nerved him self and Said Blewsby listen to me I never anticipated finch a terrible catastrophe That dress! that veil! I am bound as a good churchman to earn estly protest against it and what is more as a man as a (here the voice perceptibly faltered) have a serious word to Kitty clasped her hands tightly and was silent in an instant wgs wrong I have stood between you two I regret it' Only tell inethat it is' not too late to prevent you taking this fearful step No do mot speak you will do me a great favor if you wipe away a stain now do (Kitty said a word she was frightened) go home at once and promise me to take off those iufsmous things promise 1 you will not go to where I greive to learn some of Vour compan ions have already gone and on my honor you shall marry my boy if you like I I mean I affirm and in his excitement the Bishop took both hands and looked earnestly in her face I vowed I would go to night and everything is ready for me and you startle me so Doyon really mean she added somewliat pleadingly and timidly I pledge you my word I am in ear too good of you rrtoo good Yes' go And then for some un heard of reason Kitty cried again and the Bishop felt very so much so that as they were passing his corner he chucked the check string with a jerk that almost pulled' the coachman inside and threw the horses' on their haunches he said as he steppec but havemade esnh fb each a promise a Keep yours and Julian shal come and see you to Then he left her' and walked home feeling that he had exercised the little demon Another and still greater shech was A Boyal Beauty and Her Whims and rlflces I The empress' is at once proud and capiricious and in some ways is one of the most interesting as well as extraor dinary women of her rank that the cen tury has produce writes a correspon dent from Vienna She is equally proud of her hair and her figure the first being as abundant as a the: latter as slender as a The former she wears as loosely as possible the latter she tightens as much as she can Her waist belts used tobe shown as1 curiosities in exhibitions They measured only 18 inches in circumfer ence I can remember but one other woman with a waist so small The emperor has always been a ivisband so far as admiration for his beauty is concerned He is re jorted to have said on one occasion that mpress Eugenie might be the most beautiful woman in the world if here were not my wife When the Shah of Persia travelled some years ago in Europe the empress of Austria was the only sovereign who would not receive him She shut her self up in a country castle all the time that he was in Austria She never could be induced to gd to Paris' during the empire the style of living at the Tuileries not being to her taste A short time ago also when passing through Paris she would not go to the Elysee to return the visit She never follows a fashion it is said but makes her own fashions and as all her inventions are suited to her own peculiarities of person they do not become many othei: women It was she who introduced the abominable fashion of high shouldered sleeves fulled in on the shoulders a fashion which does little credit? to her artistic taste to say the least' Altogether however Austria is prou of its empress who take her for 'ail in ell is a wonderfully attractive woman of her age I must add that no woman ever studied her own beauty so much as the empress does Every hour 'Of the day is employed in its conversation She rises by daybreak and goes to bed at dark to keep her complexion clear and she spends her days on horseback to keep her figure trim Her food and drink are carefully regulated and for the same object 'This is certainly bet ter than painting her face but it is a life of sacrifices which few women would be willing to lead even for sake 4 I The Bosom Triends of Louis Ha poleon Persigny and Wale wski with Gen leury who was never a

relationship and in 1852 just after the coup the further Duke who was then Minist er of the Interior was so incautious as 1 to boast of this kinship in a speech at a public dinner It was owing to this that he had to resign The resignation was generally attributed to the Minis repugnance to the decree which confiscated the property of theOrleans family but this was a mere pretext The truth was that Louis Napoleon deeply resented De presume tion and marked it for ever afterword by minfaining a strict punctiliousness of ynnnar even in his most confidential relations with the statesman who was to
