It is the fashion of some women *o keep visitors waiting an unconscionable time for absolutely no reason at all but to gratify a caprice or fad of theirs. Heaven knows where they got the idea, but some of the dear creatures imagine it is a canon of high-bred etiquette to let a caller cool his or her heels in the parlor for half an hour or so after the servant brings up the card. This impertinence is most often offered by women to women. A superb young woman who had high birth and abundance of money saucily told a girl in her set recently that she al­ ways kept callers waiting twenty minutes before she appeared. The girl who re­ ceived this valuable piece of news called upon the golden calf a few days after­ ward. She s*rt tip frer cird "nd the foot- mUn returned with the menage that Miss would be down in a few minutes.

The story of Bebe is a quaint bit of last century's history, which has jnst been rescued from oblivion by a Conti­ nental Dryasdust. Bebe is supposed to bave been the littlest man who ever lived. He was borne by a peasant wo­ man in Lorraine just 150 years ago, and was called Bebe because the first years i of bis life he could articulate only "b-b." The day of bis birth Bebe was smaller than his mother's band. Ten days afterward he was taken to the village church to be baptized in his mother's wooden shoe, because he was too tiny to be carried safely in her arms. Dur­ ing the next six months the same wooden shoe served as Bebe's crib. Bebe's early childhood was unevent­ ful. He did not grow and he did not talk. He was fatuous throughout Lor­ raine, however, as the cunningest and tiniest bit of humanity ever seen. He was perfectly proportioned, had won­ derfully large sandi beautiful eyes, and was remarkably active upon his'diminu- tive legs. When Bebe was about 7 years old King Stanislaus Lesczynski of Poland, who was then living iu Lor­ raine, heard what a- wonderful little fellow be was, and ordered the child's father to bring him to court. Bebe, Sr., carried his soa to the royal palace in a small basket. As the father came into the King's presence the King asked him very gruffly why he had not brought his son with him. Bebe, Sr., answered this question by opening the basket on his arm and. dragging forth the chfld. Stanislaus said at once that Bebe must become his court dwarf. Bebe's father was induced to accede to this proposal with a good bit of royal Polish gold, and Bebe was made a regular follower of the King's court. • At the time of his introduction to court life Bebe was just, twenty inches tall and weighed eight pounds. He never grew larger. At first the KiGg tried to teach him jokes and fairy stories and bits of questionable poetry. Bebe's intelligence, however, was not equal to the demands thus made upon it. His memory was so weak that he forgot one hour what he had learned the hour before. Reading and writing were for him quite impossible. With all these failings, however, he was by no means a failure as a court dwarf. He had a sweet little voice, a good ear for music, and nimble legs. He could dance and kick and sing with the best of the King's courtiers. He was very useful as a table ornament at all the King's great banquets. His most fa­ mous appearance in this rather curious role took plaoe at a dinner which Stanis­ laus gave to the Ambassador of a great power in 1755. In the middle ot the table was an immense sugar castle. Shortly before the guests rose to leave the door of the castle opened, and a knight in full armor stepped out with a drawn sword in his right hand. All the guests thought the knight must be some wonderful automaton which the King had obtained from the skilled mechan­ ics across the Rhine. He wasn't, how­ ever. He was none other than little Bebe. He walked around the table, shook his sword in the face of every guest, saluted the King, and then turned back to the castle entrance, where he assumed the position >. of sen­ try. At a signal from the King every one at the table began to bombard him with small sugar balls. Bebe hurried at once into the castle, locked the door, mounted the tower, and pretended to return the fire by setting off a lot of per­ fumed explosives. Within ten or twelve yeans after Bebe's appearance at court he was one of the most celebrated persons in royal society on the Continent. With fame, however, came to him numerous perils. All the sovereigns of Europe were covet­ ing him, and many of them tried hard to steal him. In 1758 the Empress Catharine of Russia sent an emissary after him to the court of the Polish King. Late One evening, when the royal palace was almost deserted, Cath­ arine's emissary snapped Bel>e up and stuffed him into the pocket of his great coat. Bebe screamed so lustily that he revealed the plot to the guard at the door. The emissary was arrested, and Bebe was rescued. Not long afterward Bebe accompanied Stanislaus to the court of Louis XY. in Versailles, where he again narrowly escaped abduction, A lacly of tho French court had been holding him in lier lap between the courses of a court dinner. Suddenly 8^e rose to leave tho room. Her first step was accompanied by a shrill cry from the folds 'of her gown: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this lady has stuck me in her pocket, and is running away with me." The voice was Bebe's. He was immediately dragged from the court lady's pocket and placed under the guard of two pages, who were in­ structed by King Stanislaus to watch him day and night. The perils through which he had passed, and the strict surveillance to which he was now subjected, depressed Bebe's spirits and demoralized his nerv­ ous system. He became melancholy, morose, round shouldered, and haggard. The King thought he needed a com­ panion to cheer him up, and therefore married him with great pomp and cere­ mony to Theresa Souvrav, a dwarf of about his age and slightly greater stat­ ure. That was the last drop in Bebe's cup. Two weeks after his marriage he lost his mind. He ceased to talk en­ tirely, ate little, and passed mpst of his time in his crib. His honeymoon was hardly up when he died. Shortly before his death his clouded mind was cleared in the most remarkable n&anner. His memory, which had always been weak and after his marriage had vanished, suddenly re­ turned He recollected all the inci­ dents of his early childhood, his mother's face, which he had not 6een for fifteen years, and all the songs which had been taught him since his advent to court. Bebe was just 21 years old when he died. His wife Theresa survived him forty-two years. No Honor Among Thieves. "There is talk of honor among thieves; it's all bosh, as their actions show," was the sententious remark of Inspector Bynes the other day. The official who has had more to do with the famous and infamous among crim­ inals than any man in America mani­ fested no hesitancy in upsetting the old adage, whose sentiment has done' not a little to throw a glamour over robbers and their deeds. He spoke with de­ liberation, as if he summed up his ex­ perience of years in those few words. The inspector also said that the maxim of self-preservation is the first law of nature found no contradiction as ap­ plied to thieves. They stoop to noth­ ing to save themselves from punish­ ment, and betray their companions in crime without the slightest compunc­ tion of oonscience. In many, if not most, instancoe these betrayals of com­ panions in crime are made voluntarily, solely with the intent to Becure a light penalty at the worst, with the chance of going scot free, and a study of the cases within the recollection of the present generation more than confirms the in­ spector's trite observation. The records also show that crimi­ nals are not only ready to betray their comrades, but will even practice their arts against those who have sought to help them. Their gratitude is abso­ lutely nil.--New York New*.. Cousin Charlotte, ^ Mrs. Lee looked np from the letter she was leading "Cousin Charlotte is coming to spend a month with us," she said. There was a Rudden silence; startled, dismayed glances passed around the breakfast-table. Mrs. David Lee, who had just beeu brought home a bride, asked, "Who and what is Cousin Char­ lotte?" The judge made haste to answer: "Mis Charlotte Bell is a most lovable woman of about thirty. She has a fine intellect and a warm heart. There is no scheme of philanthropy in her na­ tive city in which she does not take "She is a beauty, too!" exclaimed one of the boys. "I do not know a more beautiful woman." "She is a faithful Christian," said Mrs. Lee, gravely. . "If she is perfecti on, why do you dread her coming?" Mrs. David asked her husband when they rose from the table. "Wait and you will see," he said. Cousin Charlottee telegraphed the next day; "Coming on night train." There were six trains that night from the West. Judge Lee and David haunted the station from 6 o'clock until two in the morning, but no Cousin Charlotte. The night was cold and stormy, and the judge went home aching with lumbago. All of the next day and night some of the Lee family were on guard at the station, but they watched in vain. Two days later she arrived, gay and smiling. "You expected me? Too bad! I changed my mind, and really forgot to wire you. I must ask you to look after my trunk. I haven't the least idea what I have done with the check." For two days David was busy sending telegrams in every direction for the missing lugguge, while Cousin Charlotte foraged upon the girls' wardrobe for gowns, collars and other such things. Miss Bell never rose in time for break­ fast, and wais sure to be absent at luncheon and dinner-tima Her meatajf therefore, had to be prepared separately. The cook rebelled, the chambermaid gave warning. Cousin Charlotte made numerous appointments with people concerned in benevolent work to come to the house, and then went out and forgot them; she always kept the family waiting an hour for • her to dress when they were going to a concert or lec­ ture. She appointed a conference with dis­ charged prisoners for the same evening that Mrs. Lee had chosen for a recep­ tion in honor of the bride. The gay young people and the quondam thieves and burglars met in the parlor. Through all these discomforts Miss Bell passed, smiling airly. "Really, I forgot!/ or "The matter was so petty it escaped my notice," was her only apology. • With her heart full of kindness to all the world, Bhe had a singular facility for saying unpleasant things. Shede- dounced the Pope to a Catholic, in­ sisted on helping a Jew to ham agd oysters, and described the horrors of a death from consumption to a young girl already hectic with that disesae. "If I had a brother who was hanged," said David, "Cousin Charlotte would talk to me of nothing but ropes! She has a genius for indiscretions!" She always deplored her thoughtfnl- ness, and the next moment, by a heed­ less word, stirred up some slumbering feud, or tore open an old wound. When, after a dozen postponements, the day of her departure actually ar­ rived, the Lee family breathed a sigh of relief. "One of the women who best deserve Heavenl" said the Judge, "but who are intolerable upon earth!"-- Youth's Com.' panion. What is Beauty. A beautiful face, according to Rogers, was one that was rich and full of mirth. Byron's beavfty, the stock-in-trade beauty of his time and school, had glossy hair clustering over a bright, smooth brow, eyebrows like aerial bows, glowing cheeks and constant blushes--a sort of beautiful milk-maid, of whom one would tire in aw6ek. Spenser is very explicit in his likes. His love he said, ought to have eyes like sapphires, teeth like pearls, a forehead like ivory--this was before the advent of the Russian bang--hair like gold, and hands of silvery, whiteness. Shakespeare's beauties, it will be ob­ served, always had very white skin. Give him a snow-white skin,, smooth and alabaster-like skin, and he seemed to care for little else; yet the chances are that Miss Hathaway was freckled every summer. Scott's heroines, who presumably represented his ideal, were all of the Byronic "Souvenir,""Book of Beauty" order, high in the forehead, dark in the forehead, dark in eyelash, and generally soft and pensive. Ben Jonson asked for a face marked by simplicity, flowing hair and a sweet neglect. Cowper insisted upon the damask cheek. How, then, is the rule to be fixed ? Shall we say that the lissome and featherweight Burmese is not beautiful, because to the Sandwich Islauder enor­ mous girth is the sine qua non belledom; or shall we say that the straight up aud down waist of the Venus de Milo is disgusting because that of Mme. de Maintenon was like a wasp? What right have we to make odes to our mistress' eyebrow because it is arched, when Aladdin fell in love with that of the Princess Noureddin be­ cause it was slanted; or how shall we complacently liken our sweetheart's teeth to a double row of pearls, when the Turkish poets sing praises to their beauties'. betel-stained teeth, because they are like pomegranate seeds ? Servitude of Mothen. Women have a liard time, no matter how you look at it. How would a military man like to be on dress parade from cradle to the grave? That's what a woman has to b& „ A man can luxuriate in mental dress­ ing gown and slippers half of his life, and stretch his arms and put his feet up and take fate easily, but a woman can't shake the harness off and have a good fling in any direction whatever for one moment, without paying for it for a year. If a man has ten *minutes in which to keep an appointment he can jump into his clotbes anyhow, run after a car, get there on time and never turn a hair. A woman's hooks won't hook, her buttons won't button, she loses one glove, her hair came out of crimp and she can't even swear at the conductor who wouldn't pull the bell-rope till after she had walked* a quarter of a block and partly dislocuted her arm that brand­ ished her umbrella. She is fifteen minutes late, and the men all speak maledictions under their breath at the woman who "never can be on time," while the fellow who took a faucv to hir on a former occasion discovers that she's a guy with her face flushed and her col­ lar awry, and never looks at her again. Wlien things go wrong with a man he can neglect his barber for a day or two and forget the brilliantine for his mus­ tache, and grow black, and hollow around the optics, and ten to one he will simply seem in female eyes "so Byronic and interesting, you know." But a woman may have a thousand gnawing devils at bar heart-strings, and she's obliged to put on just so much poitdre de riz, and to pull out the gray hairs on her temple, and pinch the wrijikles out between her eyes all the same, or she's handed over to the world by her hundred most intimate friends as "such a wreck, my dear," and the jury on the case, and even her lawyer, begin to find-excuses for the husband. If a man has weary nerves and a thumping headache, nothing prevents his coming home and tying ,a towel about his brows like a Turk; and being as grumpy as one the rest of the even­ ing. But a.woman in'the same case can only look longingly at her old wrapper, and then go and painfully biud up hci Psyche not and an agreeable smile al exactly the right angle, else she will hear that "Hang it! It's enough to drive a fellow to his club to have an un­ tidy wife lying about on the sofas!" and that "the deuce knows why a woman always manages to look pretty before n^arriage, and never after." It is generally supposed that if a wo- mafc can only sit down and have a good cry that is panacea for all her woes. But when she fipds out that the indul­ gence makes her nose red and swells it she has to give np that satisfactioi along with the others. A man may ex­ hibit fearlessly, upon occasions, a car­ mine proboscis produced by causes far less oonfessable, but a wife is pro­ nounced not half a wife and womau if she shrinks from him pn that account. In fact, being a woman at all is a snare and delusion. It sounds very, very nice, but . it's awful. A woman isn't even'allowed to grow old in peace. Going the course of all nature is just the worst crime she can commit. If she isn't married her brothers don't forgive her for it, and if she is married her husband won't. > So there it is; a b»r«' any way -you look at it.--SU Louis Star-Saying*. What Women Like in Men. Women, I think, like manly, not lady-like men. They like honesty of purpose and consideration. They like men who believe ia women. They like their opinions to be thought of some value. They like a man who can be strong as a lion when trouble corned, and yet, if one is nervous and tired, can button up a shoe and do it with an amount of con­ sideration that is a mental and a phy­ sical bracer-up. They like a man who can take hold of the baby, convince it of his power and get it to sleep after they have been worrying with it, and walking with it, until their eyes ore tjred and they fee1 as if they had po brains. They like a man who is interested in their cew dresse?, who can give ah opinion on the fit, and who is properly indignant ut any article written against women. They like a man who knows their in­ nocent weaknesses and cater to them; who will bring them a box of candy, the last new magazine, or the latest puzzle sold on the street, that will do more than its duty in entertaining everybody for. the whole evening. They like a man who is the master of the situation--that is, who has brains enough to help a woman tp decide what is the best thing to do under the circum­ stances, and who has wit enough to realize, when one of the fairer sex is slightly stubborn, that persuasion is more |>owerful than all the arguments in the world. They like a man who likes them--who doen't sCurn their opinions, who be­ lieves in their good taste, who has con­ fidence in their truth, and who, best of all, knows that the love promised, is given him. That's the sort of a man a woman likes, and her very sigh of satisfaction, as his virtues are mentioned, is a little prayer that says: "God bless him."--• Ladies' Home Journal. f"v's?

The Italian who runs the peanut stand on Fourth street was turning his peanut roaster the other afternoon with slow and measured hand when an old woman came to a halt and carefully, ob­ served the operation. After scrutiniz­ ing the roaster from every side, she finally gave it up and remarked: "No, sir; you don't get a cent out of me for no such music as that. Why, I can't catch half of the tunes and it smells as if something was burning in­ side."--New York Mercuty. •'Poor Mamma!"
