-CORSET OR NO CORSET?
mm:
.a———— , g___,,‘
Views of Prominent French Actresses for
and Against It.
The, Gaulois asks the opinion of a cer.
tain number of prominent professional
ladies upon the use of the corset. The
following are among some of their re-
plies.
Mlle. Bartet—I can do nothing better
than give you a line from “Francillon,”
which is sufficiently significant: “The
corset! Oh, the horrid thing!”
Mme. J ane Hurling-The corset may be
a hand of iron or a glove of velvet. Since
my recent trip to America I am for Inde-
pendence.
Mine. Worms Barretta—You may say
that on principle I am against the corset.
I favor it in certain cases, but on condi—
tion that it be light, short and very elas~
tic, something like a. brace, which lightly
encloses the waist. My little three-year-
old girl will wear it that way, and it later
on she renounces the corset entirely her
momma will be only too glad of it.
Mlle. Reichcnberg—The corset is an
ordinary piece of feminine clothing, just
like a belt, shoes,_ gloves, &c. I have
always Worn one, and found it very com-
fortable. Why should it be regarded as
the evidence of coquetry and bad taste?
But I cannot give any particular opinion
upon the subject, because for me a corset
isa thing of very little importance. It
should be a light affair, enclosing the
Waist very gently.
Mme. Judic—-It is a very delicate ques-
tion, and I am not sufficiently learned to
criticise it or to make an apology for It.
N cvcrtholcss, if I had the great advantage,
especially for an artist, of remaining
slight, I would most assuredly follow the
example of Mme. Tallien, who never
consented to shut her waist up in an iron
prison. For all that, I owe to the corset
a daily pleasure, because the bother of
putting it on every morning is more than
compensated for, to my mind, by the
pleasure of taking it off every night.
Mlle. Darlaud—Oh. pshawl that beastly
cuirasse, fit only for a .coquettel Up to
her twentieth year a young woman can
do without it. I dispense with it, and I
have adopted the brace (brassiere) of such
refined elegance, in white satin, set OH
with Valenciennes.
Mlle. Yvette Guilbert—All women, fat
and lean alike, belittle the services ren-
dered by the corset, because they all
pretend to be able to dispense with it
without impairing the beauty of their
figures. For my part, I admit that since
I began to get a little fat I have rarely
worn one; but when I was lean it helped
me in the manufacture of a shape, and
consequently I owe some little gratitude
to the corset.
TAILS OF THEWHITE HOUSE HORSES.
President Cleveland Changes the Old Fash-
ion and Has Them Docked.
- All of the horses in the President’s
stables in Washington have theirtails
docked. The discovery of the fact has
caused some excitement among that class
of persons who depricate such a radical
departure from the long-tailed fashion
that has prevailed among the White
House horses since the days of Thomas
Jefferson. It has always been regarded
as essential to the rule of humanity and
dignity that the President should ride
behind horsesiwith flowing manes and
tails, and the persons who are responsible
for the present concession ,to fashion will,
no doubt, be criticised as Severely as were
those who proposed to hang VVatt’spainto
ing of “Love and Life” in the White
House corridor.
During President Grant’s second ad-
ministration the docking of horses’ tails
was considered the proper thing among
those who set the "court” styles, and a
gersistent attempt was made to obtain
en Grant’s consent to an abbreviation
of the tails of his favorite roadster, “Cin-
cinnatus.” and the other fine horses in
his stable. The General, however. re-
garded docking as-cruel and the long,
flowing tail as a thing of beauty, and he
refused to be persuaded. The local So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals thereupon passed appropriate
resolutions commending the President
for his humane sentiments. It is inti-
mated that President Cleveland was also
opposed to the docking operation that
has just taken place, but that he was
overruled by those whose desires he is in
duty bound to respect.
DEER HUNTING- 0N LONG ISLAND.
Better Sport to be Found There Than on
More Remote Fields.
In Long Island, about 47 miles from
New York, lies a territory that abOunds
in wild deer, and during the one week
in November allowed by law that section
of the country was overrun with hunters
and nightly camp fires gleamed through
the thick woods of the “deer country.”
Such things, while common in the Ad-
irondack section, are novelties so near
this city. The grounds in which the deer
are found are about four miles square
and lie along the north and south sides of
the main line of the Long Island Rail—
road. 'The grounds extend on the west
from Central Islip to Ronkonkoma Sta.-
tion on the east.
The formation of the land is particular-
1y adapted to the growth and shelter of
deer. The high rolling Pond Hills furnish
shelter to the deer during winter. This,
with the abundance of feed, has made
this territory the natural breeding ground
of deer. There are no other deer found
on Long Island outside the 'limits of
this territory. Conservative judges es-
timate that it contains more than five
hundred deer.
The deer were almost extinct ten years
ago on Long Island. . Then 11. law was
passed prohibiting the shooting of deer
for 'several years. When the act was
amended five years ago allowing deer to
be shot it was found that the deer'had
increased rapidly. I11 fact, many of the
farmers of Holbrook, Waverly, Ronkon—
koma and Central lslip complain of the
large and rapidly increasing number of
deer. Charles Squires, a farmer of H01-
brook, says he has lost several hundred
dollars through the destruction of his
turnip and cabbage fields this season.
Samuel Penney has been another large
loser.

“ BERBER MARRIAGE MARKETS.
The Brides Are Painted Surprisingly and
Laden W181i Borrowod- Fln'cry.
Among the Kabvle clans in northern
frlc women are: looked upon as chattels
to be sold like other possessions, and they
are according disposed of to the person
who makes the highest offer to the father
or other male guardian. Many of the
Berber tribes of Morocco, Algiers and
Tunis hold yearly marriage markets, to
which all the marriageable girls and
widows from the neighboring villages
are brought. The markets are attended
not only by youngmen and old on the
lookout for a wife, but also by a curious
crowd anxious to see what lots are for ~
sale and what prices they fetch. The girls
when on view, are allowed to have a
voice in the selection of their husbands,
and many decline any preposals.
They are arranged in room right across
the market place, decked in the most
telling Berber costumes: painted, pow‘
dered, and patches in the highest style
of Kabyle art; loaded down with rings
and bangles, brooches, chains, and coins
enough to stock ‘ajewellcr’ s shop. The
jewels are rarely the girl’s property, but
are borrowed for the occasion from
friends and neighbors, as every village
takes pride In its girls and wishes them
to sell well. The young women are all
seated on small squares of carpet spread
upon the giound. Each has an elderly
woman beside her, and in front, she has
as if for sale, a small roll of stuif Woven
by her own hands.
are uncovered, for Berber women do not
wear the face-concealing hail; of the Arabs
but it is impossible to tell whether they , _
are pretty or not, for their faces and fore-
heads are so painted and tattooed that
the natural features cannot be made
out.-
The man who Wishes to purchase steps
up to the women of his choice and asks
the price of the woven stuff before her.
If he pleases her, she names a very low
figure; and then a‘ loud, shrill, and pro:
longed Yu-yu-yu—u-u uttered by the Old
woman at her side, announces that a bar-
gain has been made, and the crowd shouts
its approval. If she does not care for the
man she names an absurdly high price;
then he walks off to inspect the neXt lot.
The girls are perfectly self-possessed.
The yOung men are a great deal more
nervous, and look as sheepish as 8. Eu-
ropean might in their place. They are
dresseddn their best, in long, red burn-
ous, with high straw hats surmounted by
cabbage shaped plumes.
One will spend an hour, and sometimes
two or three walking about the girl he
wants before he dares to ask the price of .
the woven roll. The girls watch the men
out of the corners of their eyes, apparent-
ly unconcerned, chatting and laughing
at them. When the suitor presents him-
self, they eye him boldly fiom head to
foot as they would a horse, and if he suits
he gets a. prompt auewer. Sometimes the
old woman will encourage a bashful.
youth with a wink or a nod. The Old
men. 'set to work in a business-like man-
ner, and walk down the line making their
proposal to one after another till they
find some one who will accept their
offer.
FOUND A WASHINGTON LETTER.
It Was in an Old Trunk .With other Papers
“’rittcn in 1791.
In searching for a missing will in the
in -Washington the _Register of Wills ,
found in an old trunk an autograph letter .'
of Gen. Washington in excellent condi— ;
tion and written in that clear hand for '
which he was noted. It bears the date of
Nov. 16, 1791, and Concerns the selection
of Richard Harrison as Auditor of the
Treasury, besides giving an insight into
the political methods of the Father of his
Country in appointments to office. It is
a matter of history that Mr. Harrison
received the nomination thirteen days
later, and served through successive ad-
ministrations in that capacity till Nov.
1836, dying in \Vashington five years later.
The letper follows:
Dear Sir: The office of Auditor in the
Department of. the Treasurgof the United
States has not yet been filled. Reasons
(unnecessary to detail at this time) have
hitherto prevented.
The inclosed points out what is expect—
ed from the officer and the emolument of
the office. If Mr. Richard Harrison, now
your {Cousin-law, which I congratulate
you for, inclines to accept it I will bring
him forward for nomination in the Sen-
ate. '-
He must decide without delay, and if
on the side of acceptance, as there are
many candidates for the office, and the
public business suffers for want of the
appointment. Let me hear from you or
him by return of the post.
My best wishes, in which Mrs. Wash.
ington unites, attends you and Mrs. Cralk
and the rest of your family. I am always
your sincere friend and affectionate ser-
vant. (Signed) GEORGE WASHINGTON.
'DOCT. CRAIK.
In the old trunk where this letter was
found were severalother epistles from
distinguished men, including one from
Lafayette, dated Nov. 5, 1821, apparently
intended to persuade the Legislature of
Maryland or Virginia to extend aid in
some project to 001. Robert H. Harrison.
Col. Harrison (who was an ancestor of
the lady whose will was being searched
for) served Gen. Washington as secretary,
and afterward became Chief Justice of
Maryland, but declined. the. appointment
of Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. _

“Don’t want soap, nor pictures,’.’. said
the hard faced woman to the strange
young man at the door.
“I’m not a peddler, madame,” said the
stranger;‘ “my business is of an entirely'
different nature. Do you remember a
weary, ragged and hungry tramp calling
at your kitched door a short while
ago?”
She didn’t remember.
“Let me refresh your memOry; you
were dressed in an old morning wrap,
tied at the waist with a. string, your front
hair was in pins, and there was a. dark
smudge across your nose-.-——” She turned
to slam the door, but his foot happened
to be in the way.
“You had a rolling pin in one hand and
a kettle of hot water in the other, with
which you threatened to scald the poor
wayfarer.”
“Well, I didn’t scald him, anyhow.
