The great question of tbo day at present
,mong the young ladius is, “Have you had
n bid to see Sara'” Tbo fortunate one who
■can reply in the affirmative does so with a
•mill g,' self satisfied air. But the one
; whose best young man may have offered
tier a box party considers herself just a
: trifle above lier fellow mortals.
• Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnstone, who have
, Been in the city for the past few days, have
Teturned to their homo again.

it will be handsomer than any ball of the Kind

not. The conceit of some of the gentlemen
would be unbearable it they reoeived more
than one Invitation.
It is getting to be quite the thing now to
have afternoons at homes, and it is very
pleasant when out for a walk to drop in

As 1 was walking along one of the love
liest of our ve y lovely streets, deep in
lonely meditation, I heard—was it the rust
ling of the leaves, or the wind sighing
through' This is what I heard, though it
was so faint I had to strain rny ears to
catch tbs meaning: "We won’t ask those
mon who are always going stag to the ser
mons; they don't deserve to be asked That
was all. Where they wore *o be asked or
when, I didn't heir, for just then some oue
joined me, and the obatter of my friend
quite drowned the faint murmuring I was
trying to hear.

Carrie Belle Axson and Lizaie Butler. The
table was beautifully decorxted with ferns,
and the opalescent lanterns above shedding
a soft mellow light brought to mind some
unchained spot in a half-forgotten fairy
tale, and you almost expected to see Queen
Mab step forth and give you a wish. Danc
ing and games were enjoyed and each little
girl carried borne a souvenir of tho happy
occasion.
Tho wedding of Mr. Allen of Virginia and
Miss Gustie Reeves will take place at St.
John’s church this week.
SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN.
How to Dress so as to Get tbe Most of
Life.
Brooklyn, Jan. 10.—" Radicalism has
not had the slightest Influence upon the
modification of women’s costumes,’’ a
famous man dressmaker told me the other
dey. “If you observe,” be continued, "you
Know that every eiL-rt that ha< been made
to bring women to tho point of considering
the adoption of masculine leaking garments
has signally failed. It always will fail, be
cause every day of our lives tho artistic is
getting a firmer hold. The trouble in the
past has been that the comrades which God
lntendod to be inseparable, art nud health,
good taste and hygiene, have been sepa
rated. It is utterly impossible tor any
thing to be artude which produces a
strained effect. You may drape a com
pression in the most artistic manner, but it
Is like festoons upon a oorpse. The most
of the drapery of late ba been
of this kind, beautiful by itself, but hideous
when applied. It seems strange to have an
old customer come to me now and say:
’Please throw my gosvn on me, meti6ieur; I
desire something 1 can turn round in,’ but
you see, my dear madams, this lady with
thousand! of others has been studying and
observing, and the divine light of true art,
only feebly discerned at first, ha3 at last
penetrated and iliumtna ed bar own atmos
phere She has now au admiration fvr
long linos, fer soft oiTocts and a desire for
comfort and the health and vitality which
always come from comfort. Ah, madame,
I could talk all day and yet not give any
adequate idea of the wonderful progress
that art has made in the matter of dress in
the last three years.”
I pondered upon this all tbe way home,
and the words of the wraltby customer;
"Please throw my gown on me, 1 desire
something I can turn round in," struck a
responsive cord in my own heart. This was
a charming sermon from a ohartnlag
source, albeit 1 have always nursed a little
prejudice against men dressmakers. There
is n > excuse for such an absence of logic,
because if women are at liberty to do wnat
we have heretofore been taught to consider
men's wohk, there is no reason under the
sun way men should not take up tbe more
feminine occupations if they have a talent
for them. Let us be just though the heavens
tali.
When ws arrange drapery of any sort,
our ambition is to have it fall naturally
into whatever form the material adapts it
self to. This idea is bow being earned into
the construction of woman's costumes, and
though it may take a great manv years to
oouvinre the ignorant und the silly that art
and healtu are sisters, it will not take so
many to assure them that if they desire to
be fashionable they must be artistic whether
they like it or not.
For the comfort of those who fear that
the radical and outre will obtain in this
matter, I will say that consultation with
the highest authorities convince me that we
are in no danger. Women, for instance,
will not woar trousers upon tbe street as
meu do, though they will and do wear
equestrienne tights without pot'leoats in
hundreds of instances in New York city
nlona These gsrmen s are warmer and
safer than the old-fashioned sagging under
and outside skirts. Not very leng ago a
woman to be property dressed must wear a
white embroidered flannel petticoat and
an outside one. The latter was generally
heavy and rested upoa the hips. In any
oase it had a band liko the under one and
both were "snug.” Now women who have
thought these subjects out upon the artistic
and hygeinto lines have declared against
bauds abuut the waist, using the soft com
bination wool underwear next the skin
and the light-weight black trousers to take
tbe plaee of tbe antiquated and unhyzeinio
petticoat. As every dress skirt has its lin
ing, the absence of the petliooat is not
noticeable.
I thought I would take nn inventory of a
friend s costume the other night, for I knew
it would point a moral aud adorn a tale.
True art had not yet shed any light upoa
her wav.
“I wonder," she remarked, “what mak?9
me so tired. If you will excuse me I will
put on a loess wrapper and see how that
will feel. Do you kuqw,” she added, with
the most charming naivete, "that some
times when I undress myself 1 feel ail mads
over new ?’’
** Indeed ? ” said I, in the same tone.
"Strangs, isn’t it ? ”
"liideed it is. What can be the reason I"
These are the garments she removed:
First, a wide jet ooilar, next a black silk
waist heavily trimmed with jet and as
tight as a drum bead. Then she stepped
out of a trained silk skirt trimmed on one
side, from the waist to the ki ee, with the
richest, and consequently the heaviest pas
sementerie; next camo a quilted silk petti
coat weighing forty pounds or less, then
the usual flannel, then the elaborate corset
waist, aud then tho corset. Words fa.l to
describe the fit of this gnrment. The bulg
ing adipose tissue at the bottom and tho top
told an awful st iry, and the sigh of relief
that came from tnis simpleton’s mouth ns
this instrument of torture dropped to the
floor, wns enough to make the very stones
ory out in pity.
"I am so particular about dressing warm
ly,’’ the said as she lifted the quilted petti
coat for me to examine. "Thess petticoats
are not very fashionable now, you know,
but I am determined to keep warm whether
or no.”
"How do you feel now*” I inquired, when
wrapped in a soft, fleecy chamber robe she
sank comfortably into a rocking cbair.
•‘O, lovely,” was the enthusiastic answer.
Did I say to this misguided woman that
she could just as easily feel "lovely” all the
time as n fragment of it I
1 did dot. Not tho remotest glimmer of
the light of art had yet penetrated her at
mosphere, ai-d I have learned not to waste
raj ammunition. After a while some friend
whom she rocognius as an exponent of
style will in' dify her manner of dressing,
and then this pretty friend of mine will
begin to ask questions. That will be my
opportunity.
1 am delighted with the scores of letters
expressing satisfaction with my new ] aper,
Kleanor Kirk's Idea, and am particularly
grateful to the gentlemsn who have praised
it, especially as I never expected them to
read it. One man writes: “Thank heaven
that while you are radical on many subjocts
you are no crank, and that your efforts for
your sex are in the line of health aud com
mon sense. I can trust my wife and four
daughters to your cars without a tremor.”
A thousand thanks. No one can tell how
precious such words are except to those who
work bard to deserve them.
Eueakor Kirk.
