; ROMAN’S WORLD. PLEASANT FEMININE LITERATURE FOR READERS. Good Female Detectives Rare. The manager of one of the largest de¬ tective agencies in New York says that it is one of the most difficult things in the world for a woman to become a good detective. He says that they are gen¬ erally lacking in some one thing; that one would be too flighty, another too nervous, he and hardly one of them could trusted; but that when one was found who had all the qualities com¬ bined for the making of a good de¬ tective, Pinkerton’s whole force put together couldn’t get ahead of her. One woman at New York received for years a She salary of $1500 as a store detective. has made $35,000 and owns a large ranch in the West— Times-DMS .... > __ Three Forlorn Queens. Three forlorn Queens recently made an asylum of beautiful Paris. . There was the bright, black-eyed Natalie, fuming with hatred of her graceless spouse, the faithless, Servia, brutal, cowardly Milan, of and bemoaning her forcible separtion from her young son. There Was the fiery-faced Isabella, fat and self-indulgent, who has become moodily accustomed to the loss of her throne, turn up” in her favor in Spain. And there finally was the dispossessed and once-beautiful Queen of Naples, living a weary life with her feeble-minded husband, who shuts her up iu a suit of grim apartments, and is content not to be at least a wanderer on the face of the earth. Good Queens, it seems, go to Paris when they lose their crowns. —Eeio York Frets. Pay of Professional Nurses. The business of the trained nurse is not yet overdone, though the chances are that inside ot four or five years its palmy days may be past. Some of the graduated pretty, white-capped the creatures who in earliest classes from the training talists schools and hospitals are capi¬ in a modest feminine way now. A tall brunette, who nns been at work seven quick or and eight touch years, and jvhosc eyes are yond description, soothing three and deft be¬ owns or four de¬ sirable corner lots, which were bought with a shrewd insight into the directions of the city’s growth, and are worth a pretty penny more than she paid for them to-day. A second nurse, who has distinguished bought herself beyond the aver¬ age, out a restaurant which does would a thriving keep trade, her if she the profits of which did not prefer to retain the old manager, a dapper little Frenchman, in charge, and pursue the calling in which she the has services succeeded. The regular is rate for of a trained nurse $30 to $34 and board per week, and the demand is brisk enough to em¬ ploy them on an average forty-five out of the year. Unusually skilled nurses sometimes get $110 or $35 per week, while under graduates in their second years’ training of are permitted to go out at the rate $10 a week. What attracts many women to the work is the fact that in most of the hospitals they are paid liber¬ ally, while learning. This practice is likely to be abolished before long, how¬ ever, as the managers regard the train¬ rendered. ing sufficient recompense for services The course varies from two years in Bellevue and in the Brooklyn other Training institutions. School to eighteen months in The nurses are recruited largly from the ranks of those who would otherwise be milliners or dressmakers, though many highly educated attracted ladies are found among which them, by the work, seems to them especially feminine. Some of the younger nurses become so much interested in the medical end of their duties that, after graduating, they study medicine and become practition¬ ers. There is one young girl in Bellevue now lege who and graduated from a country col¬ came to New York to teach and earn money to pay her way through a medical college. She found that teach¬ ers’ wages made her task an impossible one, and went to the hospital to learn a business that would pay better and help her at the same time a certain distance on her road. Her course is likely to be followed by other poor but ambitious girls. The best paying field which has opened before intelligent nurses with organizing has been, and after executive perfecting ability, them¬ how¬ ever, selves, to open training schools on their own account in localities not supplied ?£. ^ v r ’ , such schools.

Belted blouse waists of the surah silk or jersey wool are worn by young girls and misses and are similar in style to those worn by ladies. Jet lace is a fashionable garniture for millinery this season. It is made of very tine cut beads strung on wire, and it is very elegant in effect. Dress skirts for misses are made sin¬ gle, the best effects being produced when they are worn over a petticoat that is flounced across the back from the waist to the foot, the flounces being stiffly starched. The salient features of the Empire dresses worn by misses are high round bias waists, with surplice lapped fronts, full sleeves, sometimes puffed at the armhole, wide, solt sashes, and full, straight skirts. The soft-drapin g, light-weight woolens make charming house gowns by the addition of yoke collar, cuffs, belt or girdle and edged of velvet in outlined some harmonious hue, or with rings or figure 8’s in fine gold cord. Empire gowns for girls of twelve to thirteen, have high round waists with puffed lapping surplice fronts.wide discretion, bias wide sleeves, or not, at a soft sash drawn in with tassels at the ends, and straight, very full skirt. A new and fanciful idea in dress is a double girdle to be worn by slender girls. A belt is worn just above the hips and another just below the bust. The device imparts an appearance of supple¬ ness and grace to the figure of the wearer. Seal turbans have round, soft crowns higher folded than were worn last winter, and and wrinkled quite after the manner of felt or velvet, and are finished with a border of beaver, otter or Persian lamb, which should exactly match the combination of the jacket. The new embroidery stuff, oriental canvas, is all wool if not a yard wide, and comes only in the most delicate faded tints, so that care is required in the choice of silk and wools to go with it, as one pronounced shade will kill the whole outfit, and make what ought to be a thing of beauty a delusion and a snare. Growing in a Queer Place. Mr. W. C. Vaughn has a photograph of an oak tree, or what might more prop¬ erly be called a miniature oak tree, grow¬ house ing from between the crevices of a court spire built of solid masonry of limestone, at a height of some eighty feet from the ground. The strange pro¬ duction draws its life principally from the air, as there is but little cement used in the building of the spire. It draws its life from the cement, the skin of the rock and the air. The dwarf is twenty years old. How did the acorn become imbedded in the crevice? Or is it a case of spontaneous generation? — Dayton, Ohio, JV 'em. Smart Woman. Mrs. Hannah Neilson, an American, has become the manager of a successful dairy school in Denmark. She traveled extensively, learning how to make the finest kind of eheese peculiar to each country. She now has hundreds of pu¬ pils, including counts and barons from all over Europe. She has taken a num¬ ber of premiums, and at her silver wed¬ ding she was presented with a silver cup by the Royal Danish Agricultural Society as an acknowledgement of her share in the progress of Danish dairying. As ice always freezes the slippery side up, so it requires no effort to fail in life, but it takes hard and persistent work to succeed. “If a woman is pretty. To me ’tia no matter.
