Herr Prns loc k this pret ty daughter on a little journey in Swit yerlaud, and oca Fommer morning op in the Tyrol she met a handsome young Austrian artist, and it was a moist d-s-perate tate of mutual love at first sight. Thty met iu the morning, were en gaged iu tlia evening and would have Keen married on the morrow, they said, but for papa. Papa was crue.!y phleg matic and practical, and be would have everything quite decorous and conven tional. Now comes the serio 00111 io side of this young couple's romance. Young Haider was an artist of a fine Austrian family, and for severaryears be Lad been a globe trotter. Tbe Berlin authorities would not per mit bim to wed Fraulein Pruss unless be could produce a certificate from the mayor of each and every municipality in which be bad lingered affirming that Haider bad not been married in their cities. So the bride and ber family and tbe bridegroom and Lis attendants journeyed to Loudon town, and there they were wed, after which they returned to Ber lin and were married again, with uo opposition this time, iu the Kaiser Wil-behnUedaecbtnie-Kirche, the church of the emperor. The handtotne pair came to Jsew York hut Acgnst, the to study law at the New York university and be to study political science at Columbia col lege. New York World. A Problem For Mothers. "How can I possibly keep my child simple and unworldly and at the same time give ber the necessary stiinnlus which she undoubtedly needs in ber lessons by patting her either in a school or a class with the children cf my friends?" asked a perplexed mother tbe other day, according to a writer in the New York Tribune. "To my surprise and I must say also to my constet na tion, she teturned home the other day quite pettish. 'Mamma,' she said, where do yon get my jackets?' " Wby, soiretiuits from one place and sometimes from another, Mtillie,' 1 answered, rather surprised at such a question from a ruiteof 10. 'J buy them wherever I find one that I think is pret ty. Why do yon ask:' 'Oh, because Carrie Midas looked tit tbe mark inside and laughed, and frilly Tnfthunter said to me afterward that Carrie wears lovely clothes, but that, of course, she only gets them at I'je best places, and then added that the herself wouldn't wear a jacket that didn't bear the mark of a fashionable place.' "Only fancy children of that age caring where their clothes oome from as long as they are prettily and nicely dressed! But that is not the worst 1 found Mollio that afternoon bnnily un picking the stitches that fastened the trademark in ber jacket " 'What are yon doing, dear?" I ask .ed. 'Oh, she said frankly, for so far, 1 am thankful to say, she does rot con ceal any of ber actions, 'I am taking this out, and am g')!ig to puJ iu the one from my best jacket, which came from tbe came place as Carrie's, and which 110 one sees, as 1 only wear it on Sundays or when I go out for a walk. Bot, Mullie," I exclaimed, qcitfc horrified, 'that is cheating! I am snrr my little daughter never would act a lie.'- "The child grew red instantly, and her eyes filled with teais. " 'Mamma,' she said, 'I never thought of that. Fannie !y told me to do it, and said she took a mark from ber mother's cloak and sewed it into her jacket, and all the girls Mid what a nice one it was, jnst bocanse it came ftom A.'c "Now, what is one to do under snch circumstances? I cannot have my child's simplicity and nnworHliress spoiled, and yet she is getting on wonderfully with ber lessous and needs young com panionship. Of course I can send ber to another school, but these are tbe chil dren of tbe people I know, aud the girls she will be with later on in society, and they are really nice children except for their worldliness. I want Mollis to be in the world, but not of it,' aud how to bring that about is a puzzle." Before the Doctor romra.

Mauy mothers themselves are woefully ignorant of what to do un til tbe doctor comes in cases tht requin lutant attention. A lew years ago, in a school I ai!."M ed, a young girl tainted and fell to t!i floor. In a moment the teacher had raised ber to a sitting posture, and we frightened children crowded around ber, wringing our bauds and crying. We thought she was dead. In the midst of tbe confusion a yeucg girl of a dozen years came to the rescue fcy stretching tbe oncoucioos girl fiat upon ber back. In a quiet, firm oice she, said. "Sara has only fainted, aud yon must stand back and give her air. " Instantly the circle that had been drawn aroand her widened, the windows vrert thrown open, tbe compression about the chest removed, and in a few minutes tbeyonng girl was nerseir again.

By that time the boy's father, one cf the leadiug physicians of the place, ar rived, and his son's timely direction was followed by proper medical treat ment. Bella V. Chisholin in House wife. French Ta. Amerleoa Fltcorea. La Tigarocf Paris asserts that French dressmakers are seriously determined to adopt tbe American figure for their model and as a standard. New York corset makers, who are largely responsible for the American figcre, are curious to know what Paris considers to be the American figure. The subject was discussed by a New York young woman, wbo gets an abun dant salary because she is an expert cor set fitter and will "improve" a woman until she is modeled on strictly orthodox lines ami destined to deceive ail but tbe eyps of ber deaieit enemy. 'Perhaps, to begin with, yon don't know," she sai 1, "that there are uo two women in the world who measure just alike. Corset mker have always been familiar with the premises on which the Bertillou systun is founded. In the 20 years iu which this bouse has been fit ting wonieu to corsets it has never found two figures with precisely the same measurement. Fashion establishes a general standard, and we fix the exact measurements to which women must conform. After that is dotie we do rest. "So I dnu't see what Paris drpssmak era can have iu mind unless it is the improved average American figure. Averagiug measurements Ly the hun dred and comparing them with French wumtuiua similar number, we know the American woman genet ally bas a louet r uuderarm or trunk measure. "The average measure decreed for this season iu this country is 21 inches waist, SO inches bust, 44 inches hip nui 9 inches under the arm, with a hack lo.'j inches long. Last year tbe t.aist measure was 2-' inches, because :hc large sleeve made it possible to ob tain the effect of a small waist without compression. Tighter sleeves have brought the smaller waist and longer tck. "We have customers all over both American continents, especially in Cu ba, but the Cuban women simply de cline to adopt this year's measurements. They want short waists aud low fronts, such as Frenchwomen have, but they haven't the slender French waist meas ure by any means. The Cuban beauties are very independent about their cor sets. "Ninety-nine of every hundred cf our regular customers are 'improved. ' Don't say padded Tbey don't l;ke that. F.veu a veiy fiethy woman may require and usiully does need some of our art iu the (.tape of a bustle. Very probably, if- theia is any disposition to adopt ar American hgure, it is this imprjved one, bnt I don't believe Parisian wom en wiil use it longer than this year." Ella Wheeler ilcox in The Woman'; Home Compauion discusses "Man's Limitations" when he attempts to dis course on the secrets of beauty. She says : "To the average man the word 'cos mtii's has (he effect of a red rag shaken in the face of a bull. Yet the word does not mean paint or pigmeut. Trace it back, aud you will fiud it signifies a preparation to restore harmony. This is the Bie of spec ialists. In days gone by wbatevtjr evil befell tbe human body the family physician was expected to re lieve. Now we have the deutisf, the snrger.ti, the oculist, tbe aurist, tbe pedicure and still others skilled in the treatment of scalp aud skin. A good complexion is the background cf a wo man's bianty. Nature's most beautiful grouping of feature is rained if tbe back ground loses its tone or becomes seamed or spotted. To atoid such disaster with the flight of years requires knowledge aud patituce. There are specialists in this line who ara jutt as expert as the dentist cr the oculist. No men is indig nant or disgusted if bis wife consults the dentist, fie does not tell ber that a cheerful disposition will preserve her teeth. The complexion feels the rav ages of indigestion, time and inherit ance quite as much as the teeth or eyes and needs quite as skillful treatment, yet the majority of ladies must keep their metboris a secret because of the in tolerance aud unreason of man upon this subject. "If a woman goes abroad with visible rouge on ber cheeks, powder on ber nose or pencil marks under her eyes, a man has a right to utter a protest and voice his di-gust. But be never stops at that. He immediately proceeds to air his an cient theories about a cheerful disposi tion and soap and water as tbe only cos metic proper for a respectable woman to use. Meantime the deadly scented soap cake has ravaged more complexions than anv fiuineet on the market." Wise and Otherwiie.
