WOMAN’S WORLD. PHEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS. Marriages By Hot. Many marriages take place annually in Naples. according Italy, becauso of money left, to last will and te-tament, by endow benevolently-disposed certain individuals, to a number of virtuous poor with a small sum of money as an outfit, and when these girls, say, twenty or thirty, present themselves to the trustees as candidates for that dower, and the will only provides for six such mar¬ riages, and all the girls must step up to the urn draw a lot. Of course, out of the twenty or thirty girls who have qualified only six can be the lucky ones. These a x are not entitled to the dower until all the legal arrangements for the marriage are gone through. There are always plenty of young workmen, either day laborers or mechanics, who are ready to accept a gil l’s hand and the $*i or $30 dower, for she has had to go through a rigid examination as to her honesty, neatness, etc. I very often see the announcements in the daily papers of such marriages, and one attracted my attention more than usual on account of the length of time the testator had been dead whose funds were to translate annually the benefit these virtuous girls. I advertisement literally as follows: Marriages.—T he Trustees of the Monte Capaldo tore of Pietra Chapel, Bane ot the Naples), Church of Man Sa.va (in make known o' fcoud Sunday of tei^three 6 marriages, eac'l/suceessfu? persoS the receiv.ng will the sum of 119 francs (¥:.4) left by of Oiesar Capaldo, wno died in 1010, and left such sums in favor of t.n-ee young women who will quality themseives, which qualification must take place on or before the 0th of September. The fo,lowing are the qualifications: 1. They must he descendants of the testator; 2. They must be marriage able (whatever that may mean): 0. They must be honest and poor; and 4. They must not be over tiventy-five years of age. Now here we have a provision made differently from the usual run, in that the candidates for this lottery must be the poor descendants of the testator.

Every body said that, being there such a short time, we could never see him in the world, because there were hundreds of Germans who had never been able to do so, and still had lived their whole lives and uf Lin, it ho Smldn't olto„ Ci.», and me to look at him. I found my pen and piper, and I wrote: “Prince Bismarck, In Berlin two English girls who are only for a short time are anxious to see the greatest man in the world and want to know if you could grant them an audience.” directed I signed it with my name, and when I it “Prince Bismarck,” I felt just as if I were directing it to Santa Claus or to some one up in Heaven. Cissy and I took it up to the palace. We walked courtyard by the sentries and through the big up to the front door. The butler stood there, oh! so stern and grim, and refused at first to take my note, but when I said: “Why, you must take it; don’t you see it is to Prince Bis marck s” he frowned more than ever and took it. If you can believe it that very night while we were sitting at supper there caroe a letter with a great seal on the back directed to Miss Percy Jones. The that I wouldn’t at our pension were so curious open it before them, and we could scarcely wait for the time to come when we could get to our rooms. Finally it did come, however, and 1 read: “Prince Bismarck will grant young ladies an interview at twelve o’clock to-morrow.” We were so excited, Cissy and I, and we began to be awfully scared, too After we got into our night gowns we rehearsed court reverences two hours before we went to bed, and we said over long German speeches such as we hint. thought The it would morning be proper to make to next we put on our best clothes and our new English huts and started out for the palace. The sen didn't look nearly so ferocious as d:d the day before, and the butler smiled and smiled, as if he had never how to do anything but smile. We were shown into a large dark hall, and I said: “Oh, dear me, Cis^y, what if Prince Bismarck should come and speak to us while we a e in this dark place. There isn’t one thing here that I could make conversation about. But just then Heir von Rottenberg, told the Prince’s secretary, came and us that the Prince wa in the gaideu and would receive us there. I never shall forget how the garden looked. There was a long path in front of us, with a beautiful foliage meeting above it; the green leaves rustled, the little shadows played all over the ground, and Prince Bi marck came walking down the path with his dogs on either" side of him. “How do you do? I am very glad to see you.’’ looked that I didn’t feel He so jolly afraid of him any more, especially when he turned to me and exclaimed: “Is that the kind of hats you wear in high.” England? Horrible! They are too Then we all walked down the path. Cissy with him, and I with the Herr von that Rottenberg, had until after a with while him I thought long Cissy been enough, know. because I wrote forward, the note, you So I just stepped mean¬ ing to pull her slyly by the dress, and just as I did it Prince Bismarck looked at me, and then lie laughed all over. I walked with him the rest of the time, and he showed us his flowers, and I praised every single flower and said how beautiful and how lovely it was, and we petted Finally he the dogs and praised honiggratzer them. took us to the street entrance into the garden and wished us good bv, and we managed to } el1 J 1 “ how very," very kind we thought he had been to us.

A curious custom prevails in Ond Beierland, in Holland. October is the day auspicious month, and on the first Sun (known as review day) the lads and lapses, attired in their best, promenade the street separately, stare each other out of countenance, and then retire to make up their minds on the second Sun day, which is called decision day. The young men go up and pay their compli ments to the fair ones of their choice to learn if they are regarded with favor.

If a piece of the crust of a gingerbread loaf be handed to him there is nothing left for him but to retire. If, on the other hand, the parents offer the allowed young man a piece of the crumb he is to come again, and is admitted to the family. Edwin PArreit’i Secret* The great tragedian.
