No other soil, so far as known, has ever produced her. She seems to have been discovered several cars ago by some college students, and ms since been cultivated to n largo ex- tent all over the country. She is a very popular creature in certain quarters, and possesses undoubted charms and has her advantages. It might not he amiss just now to enumerate a few of her uses. The summer girl is ti great conveni- Sho does not ex met to be fondled and fed on duintioa tiring the winter. The young man who cultivates her acquaintance knows just when and where to find her. He is not cxpech to be- come acquainted with her before strawâ€" berry time. She does not display her airy fairness, so to quilt, until the ice- cream season is thoroughly ripe.

For instance. his: spring the type of beauty that was all the rage was termed the “Daniel Gabriel Ros- setti style." This type. 0f beauty is as- suredly one of the most peculiar known. It- was originated by the Princess dc Sagan, who is a great leader of fashion in Paris, and who appeared in her box at tlicopcm one evening gotten up in the wonderful striking “Daniel Gabriel Rossetti style." The most noticeable of this style of beauty is the hair, which is dyed green and ur- mngcd in a pyramid fashion on the top of the head. Strange to say, the green hair, though, of course, unnatural, is very pret- ty and odd. It is dyed the most delicate and lovely shade of green knownâ€"munc- ly, Nile green. The complexion that gocs with this hair must be like a soft, lightly- blusliing peach, all cream and white. The eyes are black or broim, the lips their natural color, and the eyebrows dyed to match the hair. Floating gowns, white in color, and composed of airy, fairy tulle, or fiiillc, are always \vorn with this type of beauty. Every woman in Purislms the innnin for appearing like it “Daniel (lab~ riel Rossetti beauty" for jl’ while. but. at present. in Paris, which, by the way, Vic- tor Hugo calls the “centre of civilization," green hair reigns no more, and Dame. Fashion dictates.th:it her daughters shall now appear in its much different styles of beauty as possible, believing, no doubt, that “variety is the spice of life." ln New York, for the past two seasons, there has been great rivalry existing be- tween the loving blondc and darling brim- ettc beauties. The war still rages futi- ously, and it is hard to tell at the pres- ent moment which is to come out victori- ous, whether the blondc beauties or their darker sisters will lead fashions this win- ter, and which will be the more popular. We do not often see in one metropolis as many real blondcs and as many true brun- ettes as we have in New York. A real bloiidc has light hair with streaks of gold running through it, eyes that look like wild violets, complexion rare and white, with a delicate flush on the check, and light eyebrows the color of the llllli‘: 'l‘ruc blondcs never have dark eyebrows. ,If it woman has all the above require- ments that to to make up a blondc, and dark or blue ' eyebrows, her beauty comes under another type known as the “Van Dyko blonds,” of which Lady Mundcvillc is one of the most stunning examples we. have ever seen. Her hair is it wonderful cllow, her complexion fair as :i lily, and her eyes black as sloes, with eyebrows to match. The “Van Dyko blondo" is it type of beauty not often seen. lflrcun. sidered by fur the inoro distinguo type. Although almost every lady knows what is requisite to bc a true brunette, there are still a few who iii-o not even educated up to it, and who call u Woman who has a dark, clciirskin, “checks like roses and lips like tho cherry,” hair purplish bluck, and dark gray eyes, a brunette. No \vu~ man is a true brunette who has not vory brown or black eyes. What is known us the “Irish type of beauty is one of tho loveliest. No eye is so blue, so large, or so expressive, or so heavily fringed us that of the possessor of this typo ; no hair is so glossy and so dark and heavy; no complexion so rosy and healthful, and to pcoilo in general this type is bcwitchiug and fascinating. A typo of beauty which has had its day, but 0 which we see representatives occa- sionully, is what is known in; the “straw- berry blondcs.” Brick»rcd hair, blue eyes, and fair, pink complexions, are the iiccmupanimcnts of this type. The “Yol- lcw blondu” is another typo which is rap- idly oing out of fashion, and “yellow blont cs" are seldom soon now except on the stage. Fanny Davenport is an exam- ple of this type. The daughters of Spain and Italy are the best examples of tho brunette type of beauty; those of England and Germany of tho blotidc type, and those of Greece of the You Dyko typo. Herc iii America we have n mixture of all nations. The trite American type of beauty, however, is neither of the blondc nor brunette, Van Dyko nor Irish, Daniel Gabriel Rossetti, strawberry or yellow blonde types. The true American beauty has hair soft and brown, eyes of gray or blue, complexion rather white, clear and devoid of rich color, and features not by any means as regular as thorn: of the other types of beauty, but possessing far more expression. .____â€"”<-.-booâ€"â€"â€"w. â€" The Engagement Ring. About the happiest day in the life of a young lady, says I‘m-k, is the day upon which she receives an engagement ring. She will hold her hand up and look at. the ring from all points and admire it, and assure Adolphus that be is just too awful nice for anything for giving it to her. And she always wears it that day, no matter what happens. If the ring is too large for her she will ruin bitsof Wtiml under it, just as the boy puts branches of trees andotherthings underbis‘skntc straps to keep his skatcson. And, nftersliogctsit fixtul to suit her, she starts out to call on her friends. They all know before she has arrivoddhnt she has received a ring, and are on the gill rim The ' either tell her it is very pretty or else they pretend not to notice it at all, in either of which cases the recipient of the ring is delight- cd be 'ond description. Because if they comp iinent her she thinks that they are affecting an indifference to her good luck that they do not feel, and that they would tear her to pieces after her depar- ture. And if they don't say a word or notice the ring the young ladv knows that they are wild with envy, and would give their ears to be in her place. And she is i in soap-bubblu. --,.--._.___.-._.__-â€"â€"â€"â€"-'-â€"-â€". .

Stand down." H.” The Witness Libcl Suit. The Montreal Il'ihunex has recently been called upon to stand it long and expensive libel suit in the Courts, for what was ovi- dcntlyun honest attempt to benefit the unfortunate poor who tll't.‘ compelled to cross the Atlantic as stoomgo passengers. Over it year ago it letter or two appeared in tho Il’ifm-ss from certain steeriigo ms- scngcrs by tho “ Sardiniiin," of the Allan lino, complaining of their treatment on the outward Voyage. They complained of neglect, of unkind and harsh treat- ment, and of the filtliincas of their quiir- tors on ship-board, giving such tolcsus rc- minded older mug. of mid-ship ox )ori- once forty years ago. Thu Alliui Coni- puny, instead of setting themselves tit once to remedying the evils complained of, not. themselves to crushing out he tpii~ per which undertook to lay bare the facts. and accordingly it claim of fifty thousand dollars daiiuigcs was set. up, "mun amount quito sufficient to ruin Mr. Dougull, had they been successful. Ii‘ortunntoly it has been demonstrated in this case, that iii the Montreal courts a powerful company, with millions at its back, is not able to carry everything its own way. Tho trinl busted a whole week, and every change made by tho ll'ihu-xs was proved truo to the satisfaction of tho jury. The Allons have therefore suffered the humiliation of n defeat and :1 Complete exposure, and they have now it long bill of costs to foot tip. The steeriige passengers for yours to come will be for more comfortable and far better cared for because of this noted law suit, and in: venture to say that tho Alluns will sec to it that no such cause of complaint will HINDI] occur on one of their ships again. I Capt. button, the popular commander of this ship, with such a wide reputation its he has long enjoyed for his Christian and temperance efforts, has come out of this case badly singed in ropuuition. He has evidently been caught trapping at his post of duty. Those abuses by his under- liugs were going on, day after day, under his own nose and he nppeatfl to have boon lperfcctly oblivious of the fact. It is not ‘crmiifablc to him that such was the entire. Tho Il'ilmxx deserves great credit for its bravo fight in this case. It was the {only Montreal paper that ventured to ‘publish it line of exposure whcro cxpounro ”ms needed in the public illtt-l'cntti, and it . had hardly oven n lino of sympathy from , the other leading journals of tho commer- fcial metropolis. l’robtibly any publisher will find it. pay better to keep quiet in regard to Wealthy corlmrntionn, with great patronage at their disposal, but tho public interest fare poorly in tho hands of new sycliophnnts, afraid to speak out _ lost their business interests should suffer in consequence. --.‘.-t«.â€"..~...
