Insiead of dashing into a horse car and staring boldly about at the faces of all the other passengers she steals in gently and allows her eyelashes' to trail low upon her cheeks, not even raising them as she coyly drops her fare into the conductor's hand. In the theatre she reads her pro- gramme between the acts, instead of gazing about the house, and she keeps close hold of the chaperon's hand when going to and from the carriage. Of course this modesty is effective. It always was more.charming to men than was the dashing recklessness of the other type, and its only drawback can be that it lacks the appearance of genuineness. SIFTINGS. Sir Charles Dilke is very fond of fencing, and in one of thé rooms of his London house he has a choice collection of old swords and handsome rapiers. The new Barl Granville is a pale-faced Jad of nineteen. He is at present a stu- dent at Eton, and cannot take his place in the House of Lords until he attains his majority.

A pumber of the Shareholders of the scuttled and Smith Central Bank are after the Directors full tilt with every prospe:t of taking their scalps. At Osgoode Hall, 8th inst an action at law was begun which, copsidering the amount of money involved, far exceeds any civil suit ever launched in a Canadian Court. Mr. Ohas. Millar, acting on behalf of J. B. Henderson, and a large number of other shar holders in the late Central Bank are arrayed on the plantiffs side. The defenders are David Blain, O. Blackett Robinson; Kenneth Chisholm, M. P. P A. McLean Howard, Samuel Trees and H. P. Dwight: Each of. these six men, who are defendants, were directors of the Central Bank at the time of its collapsed. The only dir- eator not used is D. Mitchell McDonald who is at present residing out of the jurisdiction of the Canadian court.

One of the defeated candidates, who lind set his faces against any such practices, re- cently stood frr another district in which a vacancy for a councillor had occurred. His candidature was eagerly discussed ; he received numerods pro- wises of support ; and great was his. sarprise whem, on the result of the election being declared, he was found to be at the bottom of the poll I One of his most ardent supporters sought to find out the reason for this.
