'r A PRETTY.WOMAN. '" tesentials of Beauty as. Enumerated by an Expert of To-day. I What is essential to a pretty wo tnan? Here is the answer as given by a modern beauty expert: A pretty woman, first of ill, must We clearly cut, regular features. :he must have a skin above re. - roach, untouched by rouge or powder, She must have full, clear eyes. 'She must have eyelashes long and purling upward. She must have eyebrows . finely narked, slightly arched, long and itar row; yet the narrow line should be thickly covered, so as to be well mark Wd, as if pencilled. -She must have a straight nose, yet Idelicate, neither fleshy, nor pointed, nor broad at the tip, with the nostrils free and flexible. She must have a mouth rather too large than too small, with lips full land plump and rosy red. Even an ex [luisitely shaped mouth has no charm (without expression. She must have even, regular teeth, bt mdoerate size, pearly white, with full enamel. She must have a chin neither sharp nor blunt, but gently undulating in its line, round and cushiony, turning a little upward, with a dimple in it. She must have a small, delicato jaw, not large and angular, which gives a t hard, domineering look. She must have a throat round, full and pillar-like-a marble column to support the head. She must have glossy hair that has never known the touch of bleach or dye. She must fully understand what best Suits her in the way of hairdressing, and cling closely, to that style. She must have small, delicate, com pact ears of a shell-like shape. She must have a forehead smooth, even, white, delicate, short and of an open, trustful charactor. Ariosto says "of terse ivory was the joyous brow." She must have at long and demicate hand, yet pluml), with tapering fingers. the tips of which, when resting on the palm, should turn back a little. She must have a nail "transparent like a ruby among pink roses"-not long, not round, nor altogether square, but of a fair shape, with a white cres. cent visible at the base. She must have a foot not too small, but proportioned to the stature It sup ports; white, well arched, with a curved outline and a smooth surface. She must have an arm with a round and flowing outline, no sharpness at the elbow, and tapering down gently to a small wrist. She milst have sloping shoulders, not Soo broad. She must have a waist twice the lse of her throat, not, as fashion has too often made it, nearly the same size. She must have hips high and wide. She mttst have a good figure, plump enough, yet slender enough, though never suggestive of an angle. She must know how to poise the body, in other words, how to stand correctly. She must know how to sit without being stiff-waisted. She must p)ossess the pose and re poise that mark the "daughter of a hu'idred ear-Is." She must have a gait which -may be likened to that of a Diana following the hounds. She must know how to climb stairs, also how to come down stairs, gr-ace Sfull, without ani attemp~t to push holes in the steps. She must have a flexible, vibrant, caressing, tender, poetic, crystalline voice. She must know how to put on her clothes, or she loses half her beauty. A woman may have all these attrac tions-ho either dark or fair, tall or short, slender or full formed, grave or piquant, majestic or vivacious, serene *or brilliant-and unless her own per sonality is charming, unless she has tact, it dawns on you, after you have seen her once or twice, that she is naot a pretty woman, but a pretty doll. ,The Cost of a Conclave. "What is the cost of a C1onclav-e?" The question was asked ycstcrday of a well-known clergyman, and this was Shis reply: "That of 1878, which resulted in the elections of Leo Xiii., involved twvo bills, one of $11,754.28 for carpenters' and masons' work, locksmiths, palint ers, gas, glaziers, and electric bells; the other of $4,00 for fItting up the Sistine Chapel. But this was dirt cheap compared with the figures for some preceding conelaves. That of 1831, when Gregory XVI. wvas elected, cost $t14,75t;.18, and the elections of Pius Viii. and Leo XII. were respon eible for $127,702 and $98,425, respec tively. 'These conclaves all took place during the last century; but before that period conclaves were botht long er and1( tmore frequtent, so that it was found necessary on several occasions to limit befor-ehand the expenditure on a papal election. Thus, Alexander 4. .Jg mited the numither of the func tionariedJ ef\ the Conclave and cut down theoir emoluments and porqEuisites." Philadelphia Pre'ss.

Ohief amnong the' prominent ootmty, Mayo me'n Is one whose n'ihe is known and revered thr6ugh'out the world, James, Cardinal Gilibons. HO was born in that county, gtd WaW brought to this ccuntry when two of three years old. His birthplace is in the. neighborhood of Ballenrobe. The county produced a famous churchman before him, John Mcflale, who became Archbishop of Tuam, and who was known through the world by the name of "LIon of the fold of Judah."' Bishop Luddon, of Syracuse, is a Mayo man. The late General Sewell, of New Jersey, commandant at one time of the National Guard of that State, a Civil War veteran and United States Senator, was a native of Mayo. Senator Ford, of New York, is the son of a Mayo mother, descendant of the chieftalness Grace O'Malley. Former District Attorney Philbin's parents came from Castlebar. Senator Grady's parents came from Ballagha dereen. Two of the most eminent Irish pa triots of the present day, Michael Davitt and John Dillon, M. P., are na tives of Mayo. P. J. Coleman, poet and prose writ er, is a Mayo man, and William P. Mc Laughlin, one of the best known news paper men of New York City, is an other. Mayo men are very proud of the fact that the latest patriot martyr was of their county. lie was P. W. Nally, a famous athlete, who died in a British prison a short time before the end of a ten-year termu, to which he had been sentenced for alleged conspiracy to bring arms into Mayo. It is commonly believed that he was murdered by his keepers, for lie was an all-around ath lete and ought to have been able to stand the imprisonment. An effort was made while lie was in prison to make him turn informer. 1Ie responded in these words, dear to every man of Mayo: "Go back and tell those whom you represent that Pat Nally would ntot become a traitor to his country ft)r all the gold that passed through the mint of England since it was first establish ed, or for the highest honor that 10ng land could bestow upon me."-New York Daily News. London's Picture Sales. During the 'eason just ended thirty ceven pictures were auctioned off at Christie's each bringing not less than $7,5W. Strictly speaking, the number was greater, for the four lIeecher ian ela, which brought 22,300 guineas At the Valle sale, are counted as one, likhs wise Blake's twelve designs for L'Al legro and 11 Penseroso, at the Crewo sale, which brought C 1,960. Alma Tadema's "Dedication to Venus," which brought 5,6(10 guineas, was the highest price ever paid in 'ondon for a work by a living artist. The Bouch or panels brought the highest price, but Rtaeburn's portrait 4of Sir Arthur Rinclair, which brought 14,000) guineas at the Becket sale, was not far behip4. In objects of art and jeweuls thme big gest price was fetched by -a five-row pearl necklace at the .Gordoti Lerno; sale, the sum heing ?22,50Q.. Millionaire Butlers. Lor-d ltavenscurts butler, who died the other day leaving a fortune of ?80,000, was by no means a unique Instance of a genitleman's gentlemau amassing a groat fortune. There is a well-known Conservative M. P. who is this early days was a butler in Lord ~ lisburys household. Thme money lie sau -ed from his salary andl tips he in vest ed in a hotel in Mouth Kensington, whichi he disposed of some lifteon years 'later at an enormous profit. Samuel' Waugh, who left more than 2,000 when he (lied ,.x weeks back, had been \.a butler in thes Maclay fami ily for ov er sixty years. A butler in a recent h, -mse may, speak-ing roughly, count on r oceiI-ing 27. in tips for every E1 of his sa'liry. In addition to tips, however-,. an imporwtant perquisite is the commi. ssion beo receives froem tradesmen-lie. idon Tetler'. Bieps , on S pike. Many are the fa 'sirs in lienares, but it is doubtful if an'y one of them ex cites as much astol sishiment as thes man who voluntarily submits to a kind of torture which is dlecidedly sensa tional and novel. Instead of reclining, lke other mnor tas, on anm ordinary couch., lie stretchies himself daily In the presenlce of a wonm dering throng on a plank bed which is studded with a forest of sktarp spikes. Stoically he endures his sufforing in alence indeed, the expression on hisi face seems to indicate that lie rather enjoys his uncomfortable position. Could Not Keep the Peace. A correspondent sends me the fo) lowing, apologiz-ing in advance if it ) a "chestnut." A woman, in a deos ie brawl, bit off a piece of her hiusban 's ear. The Magistrate characterized the assault as a degrading and disgust ing case; but, as the woman had nie previous conviction, added that hie would merely hind her over to keep the peace, to which she replied that she was sorry she could niot do that, as she had given it to the cat.-Gas gow Evening Times.
