Shu Tieh,
Shansi, North China, is endeavoring to

the interest of many child-lovers, but

Some years ago a daughter of Harriet
Beacher Stowe gave Mrs. Francis Hodg
son Burnett a thin gold ring set with a
single moonstone (moonstones are ac
ounted as "lucky" stones), and shortly
afterward she made her first success in
the fieki of literature, where she had
labored in vain. She laughingly attri

since then the "ring has never left her
ringer, and she declares it never wilL
Perhaps the most ridiculous thinpj
about Ouida's appearance is her air of
' assuming juvenility. On the day that I
saw-her she wore a skirt tl.at sliowed
half an inch of white hose, above a pair
of funny little congress-top gaiters, such
as one occasionally sees in the prints of
1850. - The skirt was perfectly round
like a cheese-cake. Above the waist was
a jacket with two odd little tails behind,
and imbued with a wonderful collection
of incongruous colors.
There is a new establishment in Lon
don where an ingenious French woman
sells stands of everlasting tropical flow
ers, which, having been'subniitted to a '
chemical process, are . unfading. The
flowers are rather gorgeom, of course,
as they are all exotics. They are made
up into screens, with ornaments, and in
stands, several feet high. Some of these
are decorated with foreign bird. Lady
Chc.ries Beresf ord lias bought five stands
of these flowers for her house.
