MIDSUMMER JOYS. f cflQo of These Who Bear the Burdons and Others Who Share the Pleasure ol'Lifo j; E w- York, Aug o.—Has civilization laude women happy ? Civilization felicitates itself that it has made divers strenuous efforts in this direction. It would be easy to say a good dial on both- sides of the question. Modern women are probably happier and more unhappy than the men of their time. Walking through a crowded tenement ftreet late in the afternoon when the whole population had sought refuge on the door steps and the sidewalk, it struck mo that them was an appreciable and fairly con stant difference between the expression of face of the women and die men. The struggle for daily bread was Tiurder on the women. They looked older in proportion to their probable years, anil their faces hud more lines upon them. They looked, when not animated in talk, joyless. The men wre not jovial by any means, but one day was over and they had not begun to lift the burdens of another. The woman of the swarming tenement district, if she has a bl ight spot in her life, has it when her lover coines. Her childhood has not many pleasures in it and her nature life is apt to have fewer. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ami the rest of the week are serious days to her, especially if there is small proportion of the lover left in the rough-spoken hus band. ftie woman of the more favored part of society seems to have at least her share of the good things of life, especially at this time of year, when she is off on her annual play spell while her mate attends to business m the hot city streets at home. Civiliza tion has lifted her old-time cares off her hands. .She neither spins nor weaves, nor sews to excess. She keeps herself cool and pretty. She enjoys music. She reads tho latest magazine. Her daughters are—say w hut the world will of neglect of parents— d-1 voted'to her, especially if she is charming, yhe hasn't that sense of responsibility which oppresses her husband. She is taken care of. She lias leisure for visiting and conversation. She is interested iu tho men, women and happenings of her day. She can applaud or shudder with a sense that, come what may, this side of a financial panic, it is all one to her. Women consti tute a large proportion of the American leisure class, and it seems to outsiders as if a leisure class stood an excellent chance of having an excellent time. On tho other hand, the conditions of modern life separate man and wife to such an extent ns almost to overbalance the woman’s superior chance of happiness. They live in different worlds. His head is in bank or counting house or Wall street when at home, and he has not time to interest himself in the art or tho literature that make his wife’s world. Sho gpes into society for an occupation. He has all the occupation he wants out of it. She is a German student or takes up the Russian novelists. II i calls it her latest fail and picks up his newspaper. She keeps closer abreast of the times in some way than ho and doesn’t find him sympathetic as regards her impressions of the last man or event. Sho is quick to form an opinion,an courant, with everything abort her. He is self absorbed, not responsive. She invents all manner of resources against ennui, but is sometimes bored in the luxurious drawing room where he has left her alone. Some times even her very passivity as regards the on goings of the world makes her morbidly concerned a.: to its going right. There are w omen who take the world’s problems so seriously, are so troubled with mental doubts and questionings, that their leisure for thought is a curse. To plunge into the active life of their husbands would bo n whole some mental tonic. Take it all in all each sex has its difficulties to wrestle with. Neither in the long run gets much advan tage over the other. THE FRENCH MILLINER. A big-eyed, slender, nervous-looking madaine, whose accent leaves no doubt that she is a “French” milliner in a more literal sense than some of our Parisian toyers with lace and ribbons, has based some claim to more than ordinary favor among New York bonnet lovers the past year upon the assertion that she is the great granddaughter of the Empress Josephine's milliner —that unlucky creature who saw her bandboxes kicked "over and came herself within an ace of feeling the touch of tho imperial foot when it was discovered that Josephine had ordered thirty-eight bonnets in one month. For the correctness of her genealogy it would bike a bolder scribe to vouch, but it has served her in good stead from a business point of view ai least, This descendant of the maltreated Empress’ maltreated favorite held a completed summer bonnet up to view, twirling it on the tips of her quick French fingers, the other day. It was a gauze bonnet, small and giving somehow the effect of a watery coolness. Jt was not white and it was not gray or groen, but it looked as if a mermaid might wear it when the sunbeams struck hot through the waves down Is'low. It was going to liar Harbor, she said, and a half dozen more were going with it. No woman, it is the French milli ner’s theory, ever had as many bonnets as she wanted and no woman ever will. All women have the bonnet mania to some ex tent, but the craze, when it has once nmmed a victim for its own, knows no bounds. A bonnet for every day in tho year, or as many changes per diem as Berry AV.-tn lias of trousers, would hardly satisfy the bonnet maniac. To bring over two dozen in a huge bonnet trunk from Pi ris and to buy considerably more than tliut number to eke out the French “creations” at borne is not, it is said, at all an uncom mon feat for one woman in the course of one of our four brief seasons. There is a monopoly in bonnets as well elsewhere, for the extra bonnets of the bonnet foils if equitably distributed wouldn’t begin to go around among the women who are reason ably well satisfied with a single now ono •Very third winter or thereabouts. PERSONAL AND OTHER NOTES. Breadths of carpet actually woven from designs inode by the pupils, specimens of oil cloth in shape tor the floors and of wall paper ready hi hang on the walls formed part of the exhibit sent from the New York •School of Industrial Art for Women to the Industrial Exposition in Minneapolis this week. It is only by giving industrial teach ing such practical shape that it is of any value. Miscellanous bric-a-brac is often very pretty in its way, but for a steady living ono must learn to produce in good shape something for which there is steady demand. Margaret Pale Owen, granddaughter of Bie famous Englishman whom the early Communists gave such a warm welcome in this country, is writing and sinking in favor of original dress reform garb which is called the Paled )wen rolie. She has found hearers at parlor meetings in New York mid nay prove u rival to Mrs. Jenness Miller. The only time 1 over met Miss Jennie Collins, who labored at Boffin's Bower so many years among the working girls of Boston, and whoso death has been severely felt in philanthropic circles, she told mo that within one year five young women, in whom die Imd lieon especially interested, hud died of consumption and three had drowned themselves because they were earning fli a week and it was impossible for them to get twenty-one of the plainest meals for less than that sum. To pay their rent and buy clothing they hud to live on u mealiuid a half a day. Miss Olga Neym inn, a daughter of the well-known lecturer, Mrs. Clara Nermann, ami New York's one woman dentist, declares that she is treated with tho utmost courtesy by the masculine members of the profession, who welcome her very cordially to their ranks and uutkn ter feel at homo in a busi ness in which she thinks a woman's delicacy of touch and cure for details of special value.

E. P. H. LONDON NOTES. Story of an Australian Woman-The Case of Miss Cass. London’, July 16.—The London season is fast drawing to a close; tho fun was so fast and furious during jubilee week, and, prob ably, the drafts oti the bank accounts of the people were so much larger than usual that Loudon is very rapidly emptying out. The brilliancy of the fuuetious attendant upon the jubilee is probably tho reason why the ordinary events with which the season winds up seem very uninteresting and tame this year; in fact, I havo never seen London look so much like August so early in July ivs it does at.present, notwithstanding the lovely weather which still prevails. Tiie cricket matches at Lords excited very little attention, interest being chiefly re markable from tlxe display of gowns which had been worn before as described in the society papers. The Queen and court will lvmove to Osborne next Monday or Tues day, and then the season may be said to have closed. During all the fatiguo and excitement, incident to tho jubilee festivi ties, the Queen has preserved her good health and her good humor, facts which are more surprising to her, probably, than to any one else since it is w ell known that she looked forward with much anxiety to the enormous amount of work which would be entailed upon her. It is the hope of everybody in England that her experience will tear'll her that she is bettor off and her ]>co) ile as well, when she comes out into the world, and for the rest of her days she will live in London and less iu the wilds of Scot land. If fishes ever smile, the finny ones of the Atlantic must be grinning broadly at the expense of a lady who is at this moment steaming over them towards New Zealand. But the fishes in a certain old fish pond at Hampton Court must be grinning broader still. One of the blue-blooded, but penu rious, old ladies who live at this royal almshouse was, it seems, furnished with a ticket for viewing the ceremony in the Abbey on Jubilee Day. But as the ticket for the Abbey was not accompanied by a return ticket to Waterloo, or the price thereof, the decayed gentlewoman (horrible phrase), set about selling her seat. The ticket was put into tho hands of an for disposal at a re respectable figure, and he had not long wait for a purchaser. A ‘“Royalty mad” Australian woman, who came over in April with never to be realized hopes of being presented at a drawing-room, and who has since consoled herself for her failure by frightening all the cats out of Grosvenor Square in vain attempts to give fashionably attended musical evenings answex-ed the agent's advertisement. Fifteen sovereigns in order to get within a hundred yards of one were duly handed over by the antipo dean female. Ten of them were sent to the old lady at Hampton Court, and five were pocketed by the agent as commission. On the eventful morning 10 o’clock found tho female from the under side, clad in colors which would have taken the shine out of a gross of rainbows, at the gates of the Abliey. She had been cautioned by the agent that she w'as for that occasion only Mrs. C , Hampton Court Palace, whose name ap peared on the card. But when the gentle manly usher at the door took the card, and glancing at the name pondered a while be fore admitting her, she began to quake with fear. And she quaked with another senti ment than fear wdxen the usher spoke to a superior usher in an audible whisper to the effect that “this isn’t Mrs. C ; Mrs. C has got yellow hair and no teeth, and this one's got yellow teeth and no hair. IV hat are we to do?” “Why, send her away,” was the reply; and the poor “buster” hail to go sadly anil sorrowfully away from the door which had cost her £ls. Then she went and booked her passage for homo, and tho cats in Grosvenor Square are at rest. The one topic of discussion in London this week has been tho case of Miss Cass, a respectable lady who was arrested in Regent street between 9 and 10 p. m., on the charge of soliciting. The papers not having any thing else for a sensation, liecame fairly hysterical over it, and a motion to adjourn m the House of Commons which was their round about way of getting at, a discussion of Miss Cass’ case resuited in a disastrous defeat of tho government. What Gladstone, the Par nellites and the Liberals combined have been unable to do has been accomplished by a little unknown seamstress. 1 have the greatest sympathy with this young woman and must not be understood to be belittling her wrongs, but it does srern the most absurd thing in the world that in order to right this, tho whole of London should bo turned topsy-turvy, and the stg bilitv of her majesty’s government, as at present constituted, should be endangered. Another thing is that while there is all this hysterical shrieking over Miss Cass’ case neither the public nor Parliament seem to realize that it is only an incidental abuse growing out of that which is the greatest dis grace to the greatest city in the world. London turns her vice into the streets, other cities try and confine it within doors and within certain limits. Tho result is London is the most immoral city in tl o world The ill effect of this system, is that not only the most fashionable quarter of the city after 8 o’clock at night is a seeth ing mass of corruption, for that sort of thing always exists in every large city; hut the dreadful part of it is that not only are tlio feelings of decent men and women of all classes outraged, by having this specta cle thrust under their noses. But the great est evil of all comes from the fact that poorly educated, badly trained girls, of the lower orders who are compelled to drudge all (lay for a poor pittance, and who, not knowing of the iiennlties and pains inci dent to a life such as is Ini by women of tho denii nionde, see the masses of girls who present the spectacle of having abundant leisure and plenty of money, and this the greatest temptation that can possibly lie placed before the girls of the working classes is furnished by the stupid English system. ’ If the Cass case would lead to some effic ient means of stopping the soliciting which gi cs on in prominent. Ixondon thorough fares from 10 until 3 tlm next morning, some pood might be accomplished; but as it is, I fewr it will only end like all these things do in London in a nine da vs’wonder. There are people who say Mr. Stead accomplished some poo. t by the publication of the “Maiden Tribute to Modern Babylon,” in the pall Mall (lazetle, but from my knowledg v of London before and since you may take my word for it that it is not so. Vico can not lie stamped out in a city of this size, but l>y judicious legislation it cun lie kept un der, and not, promoted as it is here every (lay. Miss Grace Hawthorne has at length en tered into the management of the Princesses Theatre, vice Wilson Barrett. Her opening took place lust night, and she selected for production Joseph Jefferson and L. 11.

She has hail many offers to stay in Loudon for the pantomime season, but has, 1 be lieve declined them all and intends return ing to America next month. Mrs. Brown Potter is doing good business at the Gaiety; remarkably so iu view of the hot weather and the counter attractions. In order, however, to complete her repertoire for her American tom - , she will shortly pro duce another play' which she has purchased from tho author, a well-known writer, but who for some reason declines at present to have his name divulged. Mrs. Brown Pot ter and her managers think very highly of this play, and it is to be hoped and reason ably expected that she will exhibit much improvement in this as she lias in "Faus tine” over “Man and Wife.” Hard study, hard work and adverse criticism seem to stimulate this plucky little woman to greater efforts. One.of the latest jokes on the Wild West is the statement, in one of tho society papers, that “Pedshirt,” tho Sioux chief, has had some very elegant visiting cards en graved and that they bear the name “Car mine Uin lergarmeiit. ” The Strand, in the vicinity of the Ameri can Exchange, tliat invaluable and efficient headquarters and friend to Americans, looks like Broadway between Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets. The American Exhibition continues to bo the attraction of the year, and is thronged every day with a remarkably good class of people. The improvements mit are of daily occurrence, and the applications l'or space from America are so many that a printed form is required to decline the requests of those foolish virgins who, .having allowed the opportunity to Slip by, are now knock ing vainly a t the gates. The boys of the Harrow school paid a visit yesterday afternoon, and enjoyed the exhibition anil the Wild West show very much. The Eton boys will shortly follow their example and visit the place in a body. With the beginning of August tho greatest series of monster excursions over inaugu rated in great Britain will begin, so that people from all jrarts of the United Kingdom can be placed in the grounds anil taken out again by the marvelous railway facili ties furnished by the seven" main lines run ning through the grounds without crowd ing, confusion or discomfort. LILLIAN RUSSELL’S DIAMONDS. Amusing Experiences of the Popular Actress. New York, Aug. 7.—Lillian Russell was very poor when her costumer sued her for $1,300 for dresses made and delivered. Lil lian had no property that could be attached, although tho Sheriff searched diligently for something upon which he could levy. It was supposed that she possessed a quantity of diamonds of the first water. Thousands of persons had seen her wear a glittering tiara, and the glare Of the footlights hud been flashed from diamond pins, eardrops and rings on Lillian’s person into the eyes of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Persons posted on diamonds thought Lillian’s gems were real and valued them at $12,000 at least. She was asked about tho stones, and her reply made the sensation of the day in New York. She said they were mere paste imitations. Thus was another illusion of the stage exposed. The popular belief in the almost fabulous wealth of jewelry displayed by stage stars suffered a rude shock. The gems were calmly pro duced by the fair Lillian, and it needed no expert to see that they were almost value less imitations. The actress was not at all abashed by the exposure. She owned up to the stage deception with perfect coolness. But her admirers were very much chagrined. The costumer got nothing by the suit. Lillian had no money. She explaintd that her living cost all she earned, and when there was difficulty ui accounting for cer tain large sums she said she supposed the money must have been spent for candy. The revelation of the amount of candy con sumed by this young woman was appalling. Lillian is now at Saratoga, She occupies the elegant cottage on Union avenue that once belonged to Dr. Leonard, and she drives one of the prettiest turnouts at the Springs. For a poor little player girl who has spent all her money for caramels she manages to get along quite comfortably. But the true story of the diamonds has not been told. The audiences, whose eyes have been dazzled by the flashing of her gems, were not deceived. On the stage she wore stones really worth $12,000. When the suit was brought these stones were removed from their settings and in their places wero put paste imitations. Lillian’s cousin, a young man who some times sings in opera companies, took charge of the real stones and kept them safely, so long as there was any danger that the cos tumer would be looking for them. This young man was useful in many ways to the law-worried actress. Owing to his faithful activity, it was a long time before summons to appear ill court could be served upon her. She lived in an apartment house uptown, and there were two exits from her rooms. When the deputy appeared at one door with a summons, the young man detained him long enough to give Lillian a chance to skip out of the other. Many amusing ex periences and hairbreadth escapes she liad before the officers of the law finally caught her napping and served the summons. Henry James.
