The Girls of Long Al! where are the girls of long ago, Like our mothers must have been? Wheras are the honest, faithful souls That won the hearts of men? Ago. Where are the dreases, plain and neat, That those comely lasses wore? Where are the rosy cheeks and lips That, alas! we see no more? Where are the tresses brushed away From heads so smooth and white?

A secluded spot In the Bois de Bou- logne— in those days less frequented than it is at present — having been agreed upon, and 4 o'clock in the after noon proposed and accepted, Monsieur Roque’s emissaries announced that their principal having the choice of weapons, had selected pistols; and, this formality accomplished, left Symphorien to his meditations, which were none of the brightest. While ruefully cogitating to whom he could possibly apply in this dilemma, he mechanically drew from his pocket the two addresses given him by Roque. ‘The very men I want!" he said, brightening up; and, without a moment's delay, dispatched a messen- ger to Messrs, Staub and Sakosky, the fashionable tailors and bootmakers of the period, requesting their immediate attendance at the hotel where he was staying. On their appearance, within a few minutes of each other, he adopted the conciliatory plan of giving them a far larger order than they were in the habit of receiving, even from their most ex- travagant customers; and when the necessary details of measurement had been completed, he astonished them still more by desiring to know the amount of his debt, as he wished to settle it beforehand. With one accord they protested against the necessity of so speedy a payment, declaring that they had every confidence in his 801- vency, and were not in the slightest hurry. “That may be,” he replied; “but I | am. 1 have a duel this afternoon with Mons.

Five or six minutes are all that are necessary for the Arabs or Turks to prepare their coffee after it is once roast- ed. All that is necessary in the simple machinery described--a brass pot, a handful of charcoal in a window seat on the ground, and the beverage Is omptly made and served. Travelers svariably speak of Arab and Turkish voffee as excellent, but among civilized nations the presence of the grounds is always considered objectionable, and some means of clarification are invari. ably used, such as the patent pots for infiltration or the white of eggs, where the process is by infusion, Prillat Savarin, after having tried all methods of making coffee, declared that the most efficient for preserving the aroma and avoiding the extraction of the poisonous principle was by filtra- tion, But he always speaks of coffee as a beverage, to be used discreetly by adults and forbidden to children.

The fantasies in feathers are wonderful, and the ingenuity with which feathers are dyed, arranged, and made to ap- pear what they sre not, is marvelous. The shapes of bonnets are exceedingly varied this season, but still there are three or four leading forms that are certain to be well worn. First, there is the moderate Directoire, which Is made In plain velvet, and has flowers peneath the brim and resting on the hair; its low crown 18 encircled with a narrow ribbon, and ornamented with a small panache or feather tips; it Las ribbon strings, and, by the way, the ribbons are magnificent this season.
