M The legation at the moment is preâ€" sided over with unquestioned success by Mrs. Coolidge, assisted by her «charming daughter Mrs. Sears. Mrs. «Coolidge has already achieved distincâ€" ‘tion in the performance of the duties ‘of a post distinguished by many Amerâ€" ican women of note. ‘ Her house in the Avenue Marceau, commanding a view «of the Arc de Triomphe, is magnificent and homeâ€"Jlike, and is the scene of many pleasant dinners and festivities. Tt is given to few to sway the social sceptre for the length of time which has been allotted to Mrs. Walden Pell. ‘Over a quarter of a century ago she was an honored society leader, and toâ€" «day her prestige is at its apogee. The snows of many winters have silvered her hair, but the stately lady of four: score years still dispenses in her salon the hospitality that has always endearâ€" ed her to her friends. The story of her charitable deeds among American art students*and singers would make a book of many pages. Mrs. Pell celeâ€" brates her birthday each autumn by a "hen party" of over fifty covers, which in reality opens the winter season, and is followed by her wellâ€"known musicâ€" .ales. Mrs. Monroe, the widow of the late noted banker, is one of the most proâ€" minentmembers of the colony. Indeed, it would be difficult to imagine Ameriâ€" ‘can society in Paris without her. Not only has she for many years presided â€"over her home on the Champsâ€"Elysees, but her name has been connected with ‘every good work in Americanâ€"Paris for Many old and wellâ€"known American families have been and are represented in Paris, as is is shown by such names ‘as Grimes, Pell, Post, Jay, Thorne, Vanderbuilt, Corse, King, Forbes, Riggs, Howland, Winthrop, Pumpelly, Willing, Ridgeway, Wilmerding, Gurâ€" nee, Morgan, Draper, Bryont, and Lorilliardâ€"Spencer. â€" American travellers passing through Paris, to the number of about 25,000 a year, see little or nothing of the «resiâ€" dent life of the permanent colony. They visit the banks and reading rooms, register at the Herald office, «lrop into Brentano‘s, seek Fuller‘s for American.sodawater, and go up to the American church in the avenue de l‘ Alma, but beyond. this they have little interest in any thing but the foreign element around them. . If it so happens that they are in Paris on the Fourth of July, or any other American holiday, they cannot but note the stars and stripes about in profusion, or they cannot but feel at home at any time of the year on the avenue de 1Opera, so filled is it with branch houses of American firms. _ Many . American «charities are in operation in Paris, the Travellers‘ club is the resort for all Americans, both perimnanent and passâ€" ing, and the Art Student‘s Association in the Latin quarter has become the rendezvous of hundreds of students who annually crowd to the great city. two generations. The Post family of New York has for a long period been represented in the French capital by Mrs. Jotham $Post and her beautiful daughtersâ€"Miss Lena Post having een as well known in New York as he is in Paris. Mrs. Post occupies a house in the Rue Coperic, and is one f the mostâ€"tireless workers in the merican church. The noted Mrs. Von Hoffmann, formerly Miss Grimes of New Orleans, and sister of Mrs. Sam _ Ward, occupies a palatial resiâ€" )dence overlooking the Are de Triâ€" omphe. _ Of late years, however, Mrs. Von Hoffmann is seldom to be seen in ‘While it is undeniable that Engâ€" land, as contrasted with continental «countries, has the larger share of fair Americans, owing to the irresistible attraction of the.English court, Paris still} remains the abiding place of many American women of note. â€" It is manifestly impossible, in the limits of a magazine article, to do justice to all who are at the moment in evidence in the colouyâ€"and this, too, without reference to those who; having married Frenchmen, move almost wholly*in Erench society ; for the American colony, though in these days_it numâ€" bers between two and three thousand members, is still a little .city within a big oneâ€"having its own social cliques and customs, its charities, clubs, «churches, shops, and pensions. BRILLIANT WOMCN WHO LIVE IN THE, NCH CAPITADL _‘ Paris, spending the greater part of her time at her Cannes villa, the celebraâ€" ted Villa Bocca, the most beautiful on the Riviera. One of her daughters is the wife of Marquis de Mores. "American Society in Fams‘ is treated in the current number of the Cosmopolitan. After speaking of the unfair comparisons drawn between the Paris of toâ€"day and that of the second empire the author, Mary Bacon Ford, says : h p c 4A u0_ in Paris. â€" Her hospitality is ever open to Americans, and her dinners. are proverbial. . Miss Hooper‘s talents are matters of public knowledge, as are the valuable services of Mrs Hooper in his offices on the Avenue de ‘Opera. Mrs. Robert M. Hooper, wife of the Viceâ€"Consulâ€"General, and the able corâ€" respondent, has llad _a _ .lor{g residence Miss Bryant, a daughter of the poet, has lived in Paris for many years. In Americans in Paris The most noted new comers are; Mrs. James C. Ayer, Mrs. Pulitzer and the Princess Hatzfeldt, the most beauâ€" tiful American in Paris. Mrs. Ayer has already won herself a position that is to be envied, and she holds it withâ€" out a rival in the field. Her residence, the stately house formerly. occupied by the Duchesse de Mouchy, nee Princâ€" esse Murat, faces the Esplanade des Invalides, and is one of the finest privâ€" ate hotels in the aristocratic quarter of the Faubourg St. Germain. . Palatial in its arrrangements, it is well fitted for the entertainments which make the invitations to Mrs. Ayer‘s receptions so much sought after. Here the hostâ€" ess has gathered about her many picâ€" tures and works of art that beautified her former home in New York, and that proclaim her a connoisseur of rank. Indeed, Mrs. Ayer is the only American in Paris who has a collection of works of the modern French school. The third richest American woman in her own right, she seems to regard her fortune in the light of a power for good to those who need her help. Tt is, of course, impossible to always hide her light under a bushel, and it is now known that the American Art Associâ€" ation of Paris ow es its existence to her generous and timely aid in its early struggles. For years there had been a real need in Paris for some organizaâ€" tion and headquarters for American art students. Futile efforts .were made from time to time to place such an inâ€" stitution on its feet, and, thanks to Mrs. Ayer‘s generous help, what was once a dream became a realization. Art students in Paris will always have cause to remember her with gratitude. In selecting the French capital as her permanent home she has given its citizens many instructive object lessons in hospitality. But the memory of her tender philanthropies will linger with those she has benefited long after the story of her hospitality is forgotten. Regal is the one word that does jusâ€" tice to Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer. Southâ€" ern by birth, and a niece of the late Jefferson Davis, she typifies the qualiâ€" ties of the rarer women of the South. Her social charms and beauty have already brought her place and fame. Indeed, if Mr. Pulitzer has the journâ€" alistic world in his hand, it is clear that Mrs. Pulitzer}has the social world of the continent at her feet: Her unâ€" tiring devotion in the affliction through which her husband has passed, and her equally touching solicitude for the deâ€" mands and education of a large family of children, do not arrest her interest in things charitable, musical, and arâ€" tistic ; nor do they prevent her fulfillâ€" ing the duties of a hostess in gathering at her dinnerâ€"table the social lights of the colony. ‘Her present home in the Rue la Perouse, formerly occupied by Mme de Steurs, is one of the best apâ€" pointed in the capital. her exquisite house in the Rue de Galiâ€" lee, are beautiful things from many countries, and though Miss Bryans is not always as robust in health as her friends could wish, she presides over it, aided by her charming cousin, Miss Fairchild, the greater part of each year. As may be imagined she has pronounâ€" ced literary tastes, and her inherited sympathy for letters is shared in by those who frequent her pleasant atâ€" homes. Resembling her father in a remarkable degree, the nobility which distinguished him in all his relations with his fellows is associated; in â€"a strong degree, with her who is now the sole inheritor of his name. Among the younger set, no one holds a more prominet place than Miss Julia Schreiner, both on account of her beauty and of her talents. Those who meet Miss Schreiner only in society, or who recall her latesocial success in New York, are not aware that she is a gifted artist and an accomplished muâ€" sician and linguist. Should she conâ€" tinue in the path she is at present pursuing, she bids fair to become a famous artist. Tt is to be doubted if finer pastel work than hers has ever been produced by woman. . Paris may lose her for a while, as she is going to England, and later, perhaps, may open a studio in New York. She, also, goes largely into French society, where her quiet beauty and many accomplishments have won her a unique place. In a somewhat younger set, and perâ€" haps at its head, is Mrs. John Monroe, the wife of the present senior of the banking house of that name. Mrs. Monroe has a queenly presence, and is the best dressed woman in the colony =â€"a thing to say,. when every woman in it is well habited. Mrs. Monroe carries her artistic insight into her priâ€" vate life, and her home on the Place de Tena is a dream of color, and com:â€" fort, every nook in it bespeaking the refined tastes of its gracious occupant, who has an enviable career before her, if affability and generous impulse have still the power to charm. The wife of the second secretary of the legation,â€"Mrs. Augustus Jay, has resided in Paris through two adminisâ€" trations. Nee Miss Kane, she is as much admired in Paris as she was formerly in New York and Newport. The Princess AHa.tzfeldb, nee Miss Huntington of New York, perhaps the latest addition to an already brilliant circle, is a brunette of flawless features, with the unaffected simple. manners that always go with gentle breeding. Though famed for her personal attrac tions, they are merely a setting for her accomplishments and graces of heart KrEpinc a Wirs Youra.â€"A cerâ€" tain amount of social life is absolutely essential to all of usâ€"to the old as well as to the young. A woman never grows so old that she ceases to enjoy the company of others, and generally the older she grows the more she enâ€" joys it. It is always a pity to see a man fall into a state whichâ€"he explains by saying: "Oh, we‘re getting old, and don‘t care for so much variety in our lives." In the pure unselfishness of his soul he always speaks of "us" and "we," as if it naturally follows that beâ€" cause he is getting antiquated his wife must keep pace with him in his decline. Men all too often make their wives too old. It is a greater credit to a husâ€" band to keep his wife young than to make her grow old. His actions and his habits necessarily influence those of his wife. Let him keep in touch with the world, and both he and his wife will be the better and the youngâ€" er for it. I like to see a man proud of his wife because she keeps young. Old age is beautiful and has its advantages, but a man makes a great mistake when he rushes woman unnecessarily toward it. And he do‘s it most perfectly when he deprives her of those enjoyments which every man should give his wife. No economy is so false, so hollow and so misguided as that which seeks to withhold one pleasure from the life of a good woman, a true wife or a loving mother. The best home a man can give a woman becomes "poky," as one woman I know expresses it, if she is asked to live in it three hundred and and sixtyâ€"five days out of every year. The good Lord knows that woman‘s life in this world is hard enough. She travels a path of endurance and sufferâ€" ing, to which man, be he ever so heaviâ€" ly afflicted, is an entire stranger. It was given to a man to make that path as pleasant, as casy and as bright as possible. â€" Every dollar which a man spends for the happiness of the woman of his horae will come back to him douâ€" ble, yea, in fourâ€"fold measure.â€"Ladies‘ Home Journal. Boys axp LaBor.â€"Shall American boys be permitted to learn trades, and, having learned them, shall they be perâ€" mitted to work at them ? These are wpparently simple questions, and the unswering of them is an apparently simple matter. _ Most persons thus in terrogated would reply at once : "Cerâ€" tainly they should. Why do you ask such unnecessary questions ?" _ We ask theim because under the present condiâ€" tions of trade instruction aud employâ€" ment in th s country the American boy has no rights which organized labor is bound to respect. He is denied inâ€" struction es _ man apprentice, and if be be taught his trade in a trade school, he is refused admission to nearly all the trade unions, and is boycotted if he attempts to work as a nonâ€"union man. The questions of his character and skill enter into the matter only to discriminâ€" ate against him. . A‘l the tradeâ€"anions of the country are controlled by foreignâ€" ers, who comprise the great majority of their members. . While they refuse admission to the trained American boy they admit all foreige applicants with little or no regard to their training or skill. In fact, the doors of organized labor in America, which are closed and barred against American boys, swing open, wide and free, to all foreign com:â€" ers. Labor in free America is free to all save the sons of Americans. These are veither idle or exaggerated stateâ€" ments. They are sober, solemn truths, expressed with studied moderation.

A Scotschwoman was returning by train from a market town where she had made a few purchases. Just as the last bell rang, a fussy gentleman elegantly dressed, and with a manâ€" mindâ€"thyselfâ€"looking face rushed into the compartment, flung himself hastily into a corner, pulled out an evening paper, and proceeded to devour its conâ€" tents. Hardly had he become seated when the woman timidly addressed him:â€" "I‘m vera sorcy sir, butâ€"â€"" "I never listen to beggars," fiercely interrupted the gentleman. "If you annoy me further I‘ll report you." Christy‘s eyes flashed, and then twinkled ; she said no more, and the choleric gentleman retired with an anâ€" gry frown behind his paper. All went merry as a dinner beil unâ€" til the train arrived at Cromlade, when Christy, stepping out again addressed the churlish individual in the corner : "I carena, sir, whether you report me or no, but I want that pun‘ o‘ butter you hove been sittin‘ on for the last sax mile""â€"[Spare Moments.
