■ \ n J thus closed another week filled with
■easure and happiness to many, and, per-
Ranee, with pain and sorrow to others.
Ke days come and the days 2°, each one
Rs its “doings,” be they mirthful or Other-
Rise.
■ There have been large entertainments,
Rrmal ar.d informal alfairs, which all go to
Reord the happiness of a week. Each per-
Rn has tried to get all the enjoyment pos
■bla out of society before Lent begins. As
Rat solemn season approaches, doubtless
Ranv are saying what they will give up in
R, way of “society” and the many little in-
Rlgences self loves so much. Would
■ not be a good thing if some
R us would promise ourselves to be
RnnfaWe. not in giving only, but in think-
H and speaking ? What a revolution in
Rciety if everybody would determine for
Reee coining six weeks, at least, to try to
Re the good and best in mankind, and
;ways be on the alert for the little
horteomlngs of our friends and ac
uaintances! aud not to be ever judging
ach cither’s actions; but stop and think
bat perhaps the heart is honest. Let us be
bantable in our criticisms of our fellow
reatures, especially of those who must
leols earn their own livelihood.and maybe,
bat of some dear loved ones. And
[ their actions are not always
ast as “we” would do, don’t
st us sit in condemnation too soon, but try
o realize what prompted the act before we
lecome their judge. Then there would be
ideed a revolution, and, above all, more
sopiness! I had no intention of giving a

ullness of the heart," etc.
beautiful, indeed, was the ball given by
he Soiree Club at the De Soto on Thursday
vening. It was the sixth entertainment
liven by this successful and painstaking
tab; and, as ever, there was a most enjoy
ble time. Like the last party of its kind,
t was remarkable for its informality,
ayety of spirits aud great cordiality
monj the guests; and yet,
uithal, there was dignity with the entire
ibseuce of all stiffness. Cobb furnished
be music, and good music it was. The or

fund. These young men and women have
formed a club under the name of the Art
Dramotio Association. The cast for “ Poor
Pillocoddy” is, “Poor Pillocoddy,” Mr. C.
Hatch; “Mrs. Pillocoddy,” Miss Smith;

and each member reports faithfully her
work, or non-work, as the case may be.

grouped most tastefully: the hall and ban
nisters were festooned with evergreens, and
with the soft yellow lights made a charm
ing and effective scene. Mrs. and Miss

delightful dancing party was held, and en
joyed thoroughly by many young ladies and
gentlemen.
The success with which Prof. F. W. Schley
met at his "Soiree Dansante” Thursday
night at Armory hall has encouraged him

Lang and Miss Maccaw. The germ.n was
led most gracefully by Mr. Baron Carter,
and his figures were unusually pretty.

small diamonds to set off the natural tints
of the pearl.

From a private letter lam permitted to
take the following extract: “7he consecra

The dainty littla butterfly is now ram
pant oa all the belongings of a lady’s cos

design on the black iaos veil that is drawn
close about her face; he stands with wings
upright in the ooroer of her dainty hand
kerchief. In fact, everywhere the gav and
festive little chap seems welcome, aud as ne

As will have been noted from the wools
sketched, there is decided prominence given
to pale green and to lavender. The laven
der, happily, is not violet, or mauve or
heliotrope, but pure lavender. While all
the purple tints are seen, none is seen so
often as this genuine aud always beautiful
lavender.
A feature of all the spring work, in every
line of dress goods aud millinery, is the
combination of lavender aud the pale greens.
When the silks and cottons are taken up the
peculiarities of color will attract attention.
One is the use of amber, or yellow and
brown in such mixtures that it conveys an
impression of amber. The other idea is the
deepening of the rich pink that has pre
vailed through the fail and winter to a
gaudy red pink, that is associated bv time
honored use with paper fans aud handker

One of the prettiest “teas” was that given
on Friday by Mrs. W. G. Woodfln in honor
of her friend, Mrs. Bewicks The hours
were from 5 to 7, and it was a brilliant suc
cess. The decorations were principally of
exquisite palms, azaleas and quantities of
mixed flowers. The table was in the third
room and was exceedingly handsome. In
the center was a large eporgne filled with
fruits and flowers, and at the base was a
huge bank of gorgeous red jaDonicas, w hich
made the entire table beautiful. Mrs.

Spangles are used on everything; on
gowns, on bonnets, on all the little belong
ings p ssible. and especially on fans. The
prettiest of fans are of gauze, with very
large spangles of steel or gold upon them,
and then dragon-flies or butterflies formed
of spangles. Being on the opter sticks the
effect is very sparkling, and, as a matter of
course, tends to brighten the entire toilet.

CONCERNING DISTINGUISHED DOGS

A Dog Who Has Baen Shipwrecked.
(Copunakt.)
New Yore, Feb. 27. —In the world of
polite society these are assuredly “dog
days.” One migbt os well be out of the
world as out of tbe fashion of owning a dog.
Murray Hill has many childless homes— but
few that are dogless.
With society’s tendency to roam the world
over tbe dog must naturally keep pace, and
therein lies a difficulty. In democratic
America “the people” are somewhat lacking
in respect toward tbe canine aristocracy
and “No dogs allowed” is a flit in most of
the publio conveyances. On the elevated
roads and in tbe borse cars and stages the
rules are absolute. That, however, is a
matter of slight import. Dogs of high de
gree have always a carriage to cornu and.
It is a poor dog, indeed, that cannot hire a
cab. With railway travel it Is another
matter.
The most satisfatory method of circum
venting the difficulty, and the cheapest in
the end, is to own a palace car. A dozen
dogs may then lie transported and no ques
tlons asked. This plan may, on tbe face,
seem a trifle extravagant to the frugal
rniud; eveu many-time-miliionairas have
been known to be prudent iu minor expendi
tures. The immense economy of nervous
force, however, quite justifies the outlay of
dollars and centß. The uexc least trouble
some arrangement is to become the tempo
rary p ssessor of a state room in a drawing
room car. This may abbreviate, although
it will not altogether avert, annoying re
marks on the subject of rules and regula
tions concerning dogs. If a chair
only Is retained, nothing remains but
a resort to strategy or a concession
to publio prejudice, which relegates the
dog to the baggage car. A large animal
must submit to the latter fate. A small
dog who has been properly trained may be
succesifully concealed. A little black and
tan named Tip is the inseparable compan
ion of his master iu bis travels, which aro
quite extended. A gripsack has been made
for his accommodation, the end of which
opens like a door. If the traveling com
panions are agreeably disposed Tip is
allowed to come firth and disport hiin elf
at pleasure, but whatever his occupation,
when he hears the watchword “conductor”
he instantly seeks tbe seclusion of the grip
sack.and maintains a discreet silauce and an
exemplary demeanor until tte coast is
again clear.
To take a dog to Europe is a serious af
fair. None of the Atlantic steamers will
accept one as pas*enger under any consider
ation—the price of passage is to. That is
but a trifling Item in the bill of expense.
Passage engaged, the dog with his par
aphernalia is taken aboard ship and to the
stateroom. A steward at once appears and
the following conversation takes place:
“Madam, that deg cannot stop in your
cabin; it is against the rules.”
“But, steward; he always remains with
me. We cross frequently. Do you not re
member him”—this with a promising smile.
“He cannot bare crossed on this ship,
madam. Onr rules are very strict. The
chief steward would never allow him to stop
in the room.”
“Please ask the chief steward to step here
a moment.”
That august pers mage arrives.
“Ah. madam, about your dog. He must
be taken forward. We never allow them in
the cabins ”
“Yes, steward, hut do you always know
where they are* How can you, if you do
not see them?”
The steward’s vision is not affected. He
see3 a sovereign that is placed beside the
dog
“He is a nice little fellow. Well, madam,
you might see tho purser.’’
Tho purser is an extremely snave, pleas
ant man. “I am indeed sorry, madam,
that I cannot allow you to keep your dog,
but we ar obliged to be very strict. The
butcher always has charge of them. He is
a very kind man and will take good care of
him. Here, steward, take this dog to the
butcher.”
A procession is formed which accompa
nies the steward and tho dog to the butch
er’s domain. A hale and hearty individual
steps forward and in answer to inquiries
professes an overwhelming fondness fur
dogs in general and an excontional interest
In this particular dog. “Tho finoot little
fellow Hi most hover seen, mum.”
“ Well, butcher, you may go now. We
will leave his little kennel. See?”
The butcher sees—a sovereign—and goes.
So also doe; tho dog—back to the cabin!
The matter is settled. Tbo butchor takes
excellent care of the wicker kennel, which
is proof positive to all inquiries that he has
the dog.
Naturally all delicate little attenti ns of
the cabin steward are suitably rewarded.
The stewardess, also, is very kind to the
pet, and must be remembered. Upon land
ing in Liverpool tbe expenses of the dog’s
passage has probably reached TIU.
The “people” in Europe are accustomed
to ‘ ‘rank” and do not object—if it pays. If
the destination is London, at the railway
station a ticket is purchased bearing the in
scription :
London and Northwestern R. R.,
Liverpool to London, • •
One Dog,
ss.
A picture of a tor terrier adorns tho upper
left corner. If it chatice to be the hunting
seasou dog coaches are attached to the
traius, with kennels for the hounds and
liveried grooms to care for them. The
underground railway in Ixmdon issues dog
tickets. The hotels in England have dog
rates. Avery few, however, refuse to re
ceive dog guests, but in none of them will a
dog tip be declined.
In France a third class railway ticket
must be purchased. Then the guard stren
uously objects to a dog in a first class car
riage, until he is oouviuoed of the error of
his ways. A franc is usually sufficient.
The dog ticket appears again on the Ger
man railways, but the German conductors
have very rigid views concerning dog pro
prieties. The price of contraversion is the
same an in France.
Tne regulations in Switzerland and Italy
require dogs to be registered as baggage and
placed in the baggage vao. A lire, how
ever, possesses wonderful persuasive pow
ers.
At any price only a born diplomat should
attempt to travel with a dog. For any but
a financial income it is financial ruin. For
a nervous temperament it is madness.
Inspiteof all drawbacks there aro hun
dreds of caDine travelers. Every steamer
that carries the smart set numbers a half
dozen dog passengers each trip during tho
season. Many make the tour of tbe world.
Among the most distinguished canine
globe trotteis in Prince Riki, the royal pot
of Mine. Patti. Whers goes the queen of
song, there goes the prlnoe of dogs. M.
Morini, Mme. Patti’s secretary, says of him;
“Prince Riki is a pure spdoimen of the Chi
huahua species, better known as a Mexican
hairless dog. He was presented to madams
by the wife of the president of Mexico. Ho
is %% years old, of light cafe au lait color,
ana is most intelligent. Mile. Caroline, the
confidential companion of madams, is in
structed with the care and education of his
highness, and it is needless to say that every
aiteutlou due to a dog of his race and rauk
is bestowed upon him. His wardrobe is
quite comple. and comprises twelve
robes of different oolor, on which
are wrought his escutcheon and
militia, with collars and rib
bous to match. For hls toilet a tooth
brush, nail brush, balr brush and rioe pow
der are supplied. His food, which consists
principally of calves’ liver mixed with
bread dipped in water, Is given him with
great regularity, so that he is always in
perfect health aud Is fresh and sweet as a
rose. Uis wicker kennel, in which he sleeps,
is lined throughout with soft quilted silk

winch he arranges to suit himself wtien be

in this basket house. Altogether his lot is
a happy one, and he is adored of madams
and her sister.” As Mme. Patti always
travels in regel state, the companionship of
Prince Riki does not entail either trouble
or expense.
Auckland, the canine friend and oonstant
com pan 1 a of Mme Bernhardt, is another
famous traveler. He was presented to
madame oa the oocaslon of her first appear
ance in Australia, sinoe which time they
have never parted oorapany. He always
accompanies madame to the theater and
patiently awaits in the wings, her exits from
the sc >na. His greetings is as dear to her as
the plaudits of the audleuce. She pro
nounces his rather harsh name with a
charming accent, but “Auckerlant” never
fails to obey her commands, be they given
In broken English or incomparable French.
He is a Danish mastiff of magnificent pro
portions and purest breed, aud he fuliy ex
emplifies the characteristics of his race in
bis devoted attacbmeut to his gifted mistress.
Rabof New York is a small dog who has
crossed the Atlantic a dozen times. His
most memorable passage was in the City of
Paris in March, 1890, when she lay for days
the toy of the winds and the waves. Rab
was a raved in bis ulster ready to take to
the boats in case of an emergency. Happily
for him, relief came from another quarter.
It is barely possibly that bis fellow passen
gers of the steerage might have been fatally
indifferent to his rights and privileges had
they enoountered him in an open boat. Hls
master says: “Every hair that grows on Rab
has cost me 110.” from which it may be in
ferred that he is a member of the canine
Four Hundred. He has a famous pedigree
and i a dog of fine education and rare ac
complishments. His frequent sojourns
abroad have developed a wonderful cptl
tude for the languages. He can “rollover”
in German, “speak” in French, and “war
ble” iu Italian—in fact, he “makes Rome
howl.” In Spain he learned to execute a
bolero with charming grace and dexterity.
He had a beautiful Spanish costume, with
mantilla, made expressly for him, and when
arraved in it he immediately assumes the
attitude and no canine Curmenclti can
compete with him in poetry of motion, lit
repertory of songs is quite extensive, but
his favorite inoreeaux are “The Sweet By
and By” and “Two Lovely Black Eyes.”
Ho is a very willing jierformer, and
whenever he henrs the prelude to these
gems played upon the piano he instantly
jumps upon tbe bench beside the accom
panist, seats himself on his haunches and
sings with much feeling and delicacy of ex
pression. Recently he was left m sole
possession of the library, when he curled
himself with luxurious onmfort in one of
the easy chairs, and was “sweetly sleeping
tho happy hours away.” A band organ in
front of the house struck up “The Sweet By
aud By.” In a moment liab was awakened
and a daughter of the h* use peeping in saw
him on his hind legs before the window
singing with full yoice to the hand organ
accompaniment.
In the matter of dress Rab is a modern
Beau Brummel. He would no sooner think
of wearing a collar at breakfast than would
bis mistress a diamond necklace. A simple
neglige of flannel is his garment for morn
ing wear. An English walking coat is
donned for his promenade, and hls collar
and chain are of antique silver. For ths
drive in tho park hls coat is selested with
reference to the toilet of his mistress. A
volvet garment, with tho family crest em
broidered in gold, is the correct thing for
evening wear.
The butler and maids are hy no means
Itah’s only servams. T.he master arid mis
tress of the house, their sons and their
daughters, and tho stranger that is within
their gates are all the abject slaves of llab.
He has a trick of making known hls wants
hy rolling over and then standing on bis
hind legs. The family say he is begging. It
is a mistake. He is commanding. Should
he desire the earth oa a half shell it would
be placed at his feet.
And yet, to tbe uninformed,“ to be treated
like a dog” signifies overwhelming abuse,
contumely, degradation. In point of fact,
“to be treated like a dog,” “to be treated
like a prmee,” are almost synonymous.
They both indicate a con Sir ion of ease and
luxury. If there is any difference in the
exaltation of tho favored beings, dog or
prince, it is in favor of the dog.

SOME ADVICE FOR LENT.

New York, Fob. 27.— 0, girls 1 X bave
just discovered the loveliest scheme im
aginable for wiuuiughack one’s best fellow!
After I tell it you, ten to one you have a
spat with Chorlie just for the sake of trying
it on. Here’s the secret: After the dear boy
has been sulking two or three days or more,
and you haveu’t heard a word from him,
take a large square card and tie with rib
bon four different colored lovers’ knots—
red, blue, pink and yellow—and fasten one
at each corner of the card and In your neat
est stylo write the following lines:
If of me you sometimes think
Send me back my bow of pluk.
if you are jealous of some other fellow.
Send me back my bow of yellow.
If for me your love proves true,
tend mo back my bow of blue.
If for me your love is dead.
Send me back my bow of red.
Now, if he is tbe right kind of fellow, and
if he isn’t it is high time you know it, the
blue or yollow ribbon or both will reach you
in double quick time by a speciul messenger.
No man, unless he is a perfect brute, would
return the red ribbon to his best girl after
her pretty little ruse for bringing back the
heart she pinetb for.
Are you gotting ready to save for Easter,
you little girl who have enjoyed yourself for
a whole year, and who must now put aside
the plum pudding and the party for Lent
and lectures!
Have you stopped until now to consider
what a good time you have been having,
aud how hard and how thoroughly you
have enjeyed yourself for eleven whole
months?
It is almost time now, is it not, to call a
halt upon the pleasures and settle down for
tho quiet, pensive season which precedes
Easter and the spring gayeties?
Do not b-grudge tne church these forty
days of quiet and seclusion. Do not pout
became you cannot go to the theater during
all of that time, ana do covet tbe sweets
that are forbidden to you for this short
period, because you know that you have
teen surfeited with them for a whole year,
and that they must be taken away from
you for a little while or you will not ap
preciate them at all.
Try, dear little girl, to do without some
things this Lent that you really want and
make up your mind that you will know
what it is to exercise a little self-denial and
a little self-sacrifice. You have no idea,
unless you aro one of the girls who try it
every year, how much pleasnre tbeie is in
going without something which is entirely
useless, just for tho sake of feeling that you
are not going to allow yourself iinneoessary
luxuries while tho ohuroh is iu mourning.
So, dear little girl, give up bonbons and
ices and confine yourself to just three good
plain meals a day.
Give up the theater and tbe evening
parties and go to bed early.
Give up afternoon receptions and try in
stead a few Lenten lectures.
Give up follies and indulge in a few real
sensible things just for forty days, and see
if you do not feel repaid for your trouble.
Of oourse, as toon as Lent is over, you
can [dun go back into all tbe go >d times and
all the parties and all the gayeties that you
have ever known. But give them up for a
while and you will find that when you re
turn to the frivolous world you will be
rusted from your lung seclusion and will be
able to enjoy everything, as you oould pet
bave done if you had not taken—not a
single day—but forty whole days off.
Try It, dear little girl, and see how the
roses will come back to your cheek*. Late
l our* have probably driven them away, aud
you are so pale sometimes that you have re
course to the bottle of rose rod to bring
the bloom back.
Go to bed at 10 o’clock for forty nights In
suocession end you will see how bright your
eyes will grow and how elastic your step
will become.
Let the candy and the tweets and all tbe
other Indigestible things which your de
vot'd admirers love to heap upon you, en
tirely alone, and your skm will be as clear
and fair as a lily, and your neck and arms
will be like polished marble when you bare
them for a decollete dress.
It repays in body if not in mind to exer
cise self-denial of this sort, and the girl who
does it will actually look forward to next
I<ent as the time wheu she will be able to get
thoroughly rested out aud regain the good
look* winch she lost in the round of dissipa
tion during tbe holidays.
But about the Easter offering. You
want to make one, do you not? And you
haven’t decided just how to go about it.
Well, here is a very pretty way:
Getting from any of the fancy goods
stores a dear little sqnatty vaso with as
narrow a nook as you oan find. Have the
neck just large enough to slip a nickel
through and no larger. Buy a yard nf rib
bon just tbe oolor of the vase, and then
w hen you get homo set the litt e vase upon
your mantel aud tie the ribbon around its
neck.
If ycu are handy with the paint brush,
perhaps you would like to do a little letter
ing In hiack and gold upon the front of the
vaso. If so, outline in your pretties fashion
the words "My Easter Offering.”
Or, if you prefer something else, you
might write, “In Tokenof Helf-denial,” or
“My Offering,” or “All for Easterner any
thing else that might oums into your mind
and seem appropriate to you.
And now for the work of filling the vase.
I hope you have not selected a very large
one, because the virtue of the Easter offer
ing does not depend upon the quantity of
money that is put in it, but rather upon
the quality. The Eastor vase should be
filled with pennies and nickels, each one of
wliioh means a real self-sacrifice.
Suppose—you dear little girl for whom
this article is being written -suppose you
have b-en in the habit of stopping
each afternoon for a glass of your
favorite "soda.” Soda may lie dignified
by the name of champagne fizz, or it mav
bo called any of the dozen fanciful
things which are given to tbo little sweet
drinks dealt out to women over the marble
oountors, but which are really, after all,
just the plain soda w ater that we know in
childhood, with perhaps a drop or two of
new flavor.
Perhaps you know way down in your
heart of hearts of some other little extravar
ganco of which you must plead guilty, and
perhaps—Just onoe iii a while—you will
give it up and put the money which it
would have cost in the little jar for
Easter.
When it comes Easter'you will have a
grand time disposing of the little fund. If
you like, you oan give it all in a grand
little lump to the church where It Is sure to
be put to good use. Or, lietter still, you
may like to start In on a little missionary
work od your owu aooount. Anil all dur
ing the beautiful, quiet Lenten season you
may he looking around of some chance to
do a touching act of charity.
Now, suppose you have linen in the habit
of stopping in for a glass of this little swoet
drink every day? And now suppose that.
Just for tho sake of the Easter offering, you
omit it oiice in awhile and put the 10 cents
which It would have cost you in the obubby
little vaso which is upon' your mantel at
home?
You won’t be sorry when you hear the
money falling with a righteous little chink
into the Utile bowl, and you won’t bo sorry
next day when you reflect upon what you
have done, nor will you be sorry at Easter
when you tako out the pennies and count
them and find that they have grown into
dollars.
Perhaps your Roster offering may find its
way into some homo where tlieru are many
little mouths 1 1 feed and very little with
which to feed them. Perhaps your Easter
offering may go as a helping hand to some
hard-working girl who needs to be helped a
little to got upon her feet. Perhaps your
Easter offering will buy lessons in stenog
raphy for some girl who is behlud the
counter, but who is capable of doing better
things. Perhaps your Eastor offering will
take some poor girl away for a little holl
das and will build her up so that she can
stand the beat and the burden of the sum
mer’s oppression.
Perhaps your Easter offering will buy—
but perhaps 2 better not say it—nerhaps I
better not suggest that the helpful Easter
offering might lie spent in getting a few
singing lessons for the chorus girl who could
become a soloist anil a concert singer if she
wore only taught how to use her voice.
Perhaps your Easter offering—but surely It
will do good, however it is spent.
And now let mo toll you somo old and
1 eautiful forms of charity which have been
spied out and thought out by women whose
hearts are pure gold, who ai e tho salt of the
earth, and of whom it shall one day bo said
•' well done."
One nf these dear, helpful women, she
was a King’s Daughter by the way, took a
bright active young girl and had her taught
all the new dances by the very best dancing
teacher in town. Then this dear, good
woman introduced the young girl to some
women of her acquaintance and assisted her
in organizing a very nice and very select
dancing cla-s. Forty little boys and girls
joined the class, and the young girl was able
to earn a very nice, comfortable living for
horself.
Another woman sent a young girl to a
kindergarten training school, and bail hor
taught all tbe little plays and games that
kindergartenists should know. Then she
introduced the girl to the guests of a well
known Haratoga hotel, and in three days
there was a little class organized to re
ceive morning lessons in kindergarten work.
'i he parents were delighted to hove the lit
tle ones so beautifully amused, and as for
the little ones themselves, they were de
lighted with their work and with their
gentle teacher.
Another woman with a heart as large ss a
planet took a sweet-voiced g.rl aud had her
taught what is known as the Delsarto sys
tem. All the voice inflections and all the
graceful moves which are now so fastdon
able, beoamo like so much capital stouk to
tbo young girl, and the drawing room class
of young women who flock to tier, anxious
to pay their dollars in return for Delsarto
lesions, keep the young woman happy all
the year rouud, and the money is sufficient
to support a mother at home, and a poor
grandmother, 100.
Just try during this lent, you doar little
girl, to see now much good you oan do aud
how happy you will be doing it
Try faithfully. Try honestly. Try ear
nestly. And try cheerfully. And if you
do this you shall be permitted to enter the
temple of true happiness which Is not found
where only frivolous pleasures abound.

(Copyright, 1892.1
New York, Feb. ‘h.— Ladiea’ day at the
New Y'ork Athletic Club! Woman, woman
everywhere! A perfect sea of women! A
swaying, softly surging mass of women,
looking like billows as they rise in their
eagerness to watch a favorite and then fall
again Into their scats when the critical mo
ment has passed, and tbe perilous feat heen
accomplished. Women of all varieties,dark,
pale, richly colored, delicately tinted, some
with absolutely no distinguishing quality
save wbat they derive from their gowns.
Aud the colors 1 O, but they were mag
nificent! Metbinks I never saw such a gor
geous array. I had been told, and on good
authority, that to dress in one oolor
throughout—hat, gloves, shoes end all—wag
the only way In which one could be really
fashionable. But if this be true then thesis
women calmly ignored all the rules of
fashion, for almost every one had a start

and pale yellow, black and gold, beautiful
deep lawn and delicate keliotrope, innum

hardly knew what to do about them.
Thore was one tobacco brown dresa with no
contrasting color, and its owner wore adely

relieved tho rather somber effect to a ret*
markable degree. There was another of *
dull autumn red, and the bat worn with it
had green velvet strings fully six inebeo.

so that from a short distance they appearex
to be a plain vest fitted into the waist.
saw a beautiful costume in black and old)
rose. Tho material of the skirt was black,
dotted with great shaggy leopard spots in:
rose. At tbe bottom, about two inches up.,
was a tiny band of old rose, covered witte
small squares of jet. Tho waist was of heavy
old rose faille and had a large bodice in
blaok with very sharp, deep points. From
the throat down to the edge of the
both back and front, the rose silk was cov
ered with the same squares of brilliant jeb
that adorned the skirt. They ran rigbfc
down into the points made by the bodice so
that there wasn’t a bit of pink uncovered:. 1
It was very, very oretty, all but tfie haf*
which I thought spoiled everything by havM
ing it in a verv aggressive bunch of tips of
a bright, yellowish green.
Then there was a lady there in a quiet,
street costume—all except her bat—and!
dressed In such perfect taste that she seemed?
to fit in quite naturally between thoso
brilliant toilets. Tbe hat first—just a little
thlug of gold lace with a small, stiff bow off
yellow and pale blue. Jacket—long, off
heavy banana faille, whiob opened on a
chemisette of tulle several shades lighter*.!
The dress —of plaid, with silk threads run-'
ning through it. The ground was the games
oolor as Ihe coat, the threads were dart*
maroon, pale blue and yellow.
There was auother that was awfully
queer aud awfully pretty. f
The robe was of gray crepe de chine, with

yellow roses. The brim and the crow
were of black tullo, the brim also faced
with yellow.

dressed low at the bach, very loosely. You)
could not tell how it was arranged, it was
so soft and loose. There was the mot#
delicate pink in her face, and the gowtn
she wore was oxactly this shade, perhaps
a trifle duller. It was of very fine ladies*
cloth, anil had an inoh band of the stinia
shade at the bottom in velvet. I oouldn’li
see very muoh of the waist, for her ooat wop
open only a little, and she did not take i£
off. But I could see that at the neck then#
were soft folds of the rose cloth and velvet)
brought together with a pin. I could jus*
see, also, a fine lace bodice. It hung loose la
over the waist, laid in plaft9 that wer§
caught only at the top. The laoe had aver jr
dsinty scallop at the bottom. The dret#
matched her complexion; the coat, without
a shade of difference, matched her baitl]
There wasn’t a thing about her besides the * 1
two shades. Her hat was a tasteful com--
lunation of the two, and though I watch,at’
her long and studied her carefully I fount*

The short sleeves are made of lace, aud the

The other I think a great deal prettier*
