Kew York, 'Jan. 21.—A glance at New
York ? Fifth avenue crowded with car
n is convinces one that the oolong wave,
t„i',r known as the afternoon tea. Is
lik ly to result in a cyclone. The postman
delivering cards for teas in every direc
. To-day It is Washington square, to
morrow it is Nineteenth street, and the
merits of caravan tea made in a Russian
samovar, of English breakfast made in
a saisuma teapot or of orange pekoe made
in a silver ball specially agitate the femi
nine mind. With a Russian tea a liquor
pi i-:s of sherry or rum may be put in and
supposed to add to its excellence. For
my own part, I am old-fashioned enough
to long, for sugar and cream in my tea
and to prefer it out of a broad, low, thin
cop rather than out of a tumbler. I find
that 1 am not alone in my tastes, which
proves that the conservative party is
growing. Very thin sarfdwiches made
i isty with a leaf of lettuce and a dash of
mayonnaise dressing or tissue-like choco
late wafers that fairly melt in one's
mouth are offered at tea. The men who
drop in are apt to choose, in preference
to either of these, a slice of bread, but
tered on the leaf, with a little raspberry
or strawberry jam over it. As “lady” is,
in the Saxon, “loaf giver," it seems ap
propriate for her to serve bread in this
fashion, and the woman who can 6tand
end dispense it from the loaf gracefully
is the possessor of a charm that is ab
solutely unequaled. Serving tea sinks in
to insignificance beside it. One would
think the aroma of bread and butter
would be over it, but in reality there is
a hint that she who can manage to cut
the loaf and make it dainty for you is
capable of being like the wise woman in
the Proverbs, “able to manage those of
her own household," and this is not the
easiest thing in the world. A woman has
to he a bit of a diplomat, as well as to
have dear, common sense, to manage the
different elements in a home so that harm
ony is the result.
Yesterday afternoon, while drinking my
fifth cup of tea, I was the confidante of a
veiling woman who had attempted to econ
omize. This young woman—we will call
her Dolly—concluded that all new bonnets
e\ ept those she made herself would be
him. 1 out. but that by using some very
handsome feathers she already possessed
she might have a large hat. According to
her own account, she meditated after this
fashion: “My feathers are beautiful. They
deserve to be put on a hat by a master
in the art of posing feathers, and, as they
will constitute the trimming, I can afford
to go to a first-class milliner who abso
lutely understands the art of making a
picture hat.” Burdened with her feathers,
she invaded the workshop of the high
priest of the big hate, told him what she
wished, and he consented, after much per
suasion, to mount her plumes for her. She
tri il on various hats until the shape de
sist ! was got, and then inquired the price
of the new one. It was $34. "Ha, ha'”
she thought. “Mine will be about $10."
AViihin a week a box the size of three or
dinary bandboxes in one and of (jead white
pasteboard appeared, overshadowed by a
small boy in a startling livery, who pre
sented a bill for $19.75. Not being brave,
Mistress Dolly did not behave as she
should—that is, jerk out her feathers and
send the hat back with her compliments.
Instead she meekly paid the bill, clutched
tlie white elephant, seated herself before
the mirror and tried on the hat. Some
how Dolly thought her face had never
looked so small. It certainly had never
bi vti so white and it had never looked so
insignificant. Was that hat very large?
IV.i.s it very pointed? Was it very enor
mous'.' Aftqr declining to answer these
questions, even to herself, she brought
consolation to her own teoul by thinking
tit it she was not used to a hat like that,
an 1 she determined to try it on her friends
- that is. to see what their opinions would

ciou-iy vague, and said that she “never

memory bells, some good luck
coins, as many pencils as can be accommo
dated, various little hooks, a box to hold
sweets and all the rest of the convenient
and conventional trumpery.
Apropos of tablets, I heard a funny story
the other day. It is a well known fact that
during the holiday shopping the average
woman becomes frightfully nervous. Con
sequently the polite floor-walker is quite
accustomed to speaking to fomen who are
in tears and nine times out of ten can guess
the reason of their grief. A specially civil
chap saw a handsomely gowned, refined
looking woman crying bitterly. He asked
if she were ill and if he should get her a
glass of water. No, nothing was the mat
ter with her so far as illness was concern
ed. Had she lost her purse? It was safe
in the shopping bag. Had she lost her
way? No, she lived in the city and knew
her way about town. Had her friends or
children wandered from her? No, she had
gone out alone.
At last, suddenly inspired, he asked.
“Have you lost your memorandum book?”
She looked up in his face and answered,
“No, I've got it, but I can't make out
what one w r ord of it means.” And event
ually she cried so long and so hard that
she had an attack of hysteria, and a doc
tor had to be called in and a carriage got,
and her loss of memory cost her husband
SSO. The moral is; “Write out your memo
randum list so you will know what it
means.” Avery sensible judge has decid
ed that the proprietor of a theater will
have to pay for a frock torn by a nail on
the seat engaged for the performance. Now
comes the opportunity of the downtrodden
worm. How about the hats crushed by men
going out between the acts? How about the
cloaks Injured when one is induced to
check them? How about the backs of bod
ices stained by the accumulated dust and
grease on the nasty plush upholstery? Will
the manager have to pay for these? Men
are always wondering why the women
won't leave their hats and cloaks in the
dressing room. I will tell you why. Be
cause nobody likes to have the maids in
charge trying them on or holding them in
their hands and criticising them. No wo
man who wears good clothes likes to know
that her cloak is at the bottom of a heap
of cloaks poked into a cubby hole, and
that is about the way that things are cared
for when they are checked. The woman
who has the wisdom of the serpent keeps
a very ordinary cloak for theater wear
and swathes her head in an enormous lace
scarf. The scarf can be wrapped in the
cloak and put under the seat, and the gen
tleman behind can put his feet on it or
even poke a hole in it with his umbrella,
and there wiH be no great grief. But to
see an ermine lined, lace trimmed cloak
and a beautiful chapeau receive such
treatment is enough to bring tears to the
eyes of a rhinoceros, an animal which is
said not to weep easily. •
Personally I glory in a warm’ cloak of
Irish frieze and a lace scarf four yards
long, which are my standbys, while the
man who oftenest is my escort invariably
wears to the theater a hat which in the
order of service is known as No. 5. I must
confess that the hat ls getting to look
a little as if it were time for it to sink
into innocuous desuetude. It has got to
be one of the funny things, and there are
so many funny things.
Did you ever see a little dog in a Ham
let cloak and a three-cornered hat? That’s
funny.
Did you ever see a kitten in a long white
dress, with 1 a pink mob cap? That’s
funny.
Did you ever see an old woman with
bleached hair wearing a sailor hat?
That’s funny.
Did you ever see an old man dressed
like a young dude? That’s funny.
Did you ever notice how a man can con
centrate all the soul he possesses in his
athletic get up? That’s funny.
Did you ever see a woman who is lib
eral in her use of powder and rouge and
who believes nobody notices it? That’s
funny.
'Did you ever see a man who believed he
could deceive a woman? That’s funny, but
it is a lot funnier to see how a woman does
does deceive a man, especially when she
does it for his own good. By the by, it's
funny weather we are having. Isn't it?

Petit Mennn Doesn’t Expect Prosper
ity Till Henry Over's Body Is
Brought Back.
From the New York Sun.
Steuben, Me., Jan. 14.—A large majority
of the people who knew Henry Over when
he was alive believe that he had uncanny
powers. He could go out and load his boats
with fat No. 1 mackerqj when tho other
fishermen hadn’t taken a fish for a week.
His pots were always filled with big lob
sters at a time when his rivals were
dodging the wardens in order to supply
their customers, and his luck in escaping
death when sailing along the dangerous
coast was so phenomenal that everybody
said he could not be drowned. In addi
tion proof of his abilities to punish his
enemies the residents cite the case of Petit
Menan, when more than a million dollars
in good money was wasted because people
insisted on taking up his body and carry
ing it to Winter Harbor for burial in de
fiance of the prohibition engraved upon his
tombstone.
Over was a slave who ran away from
Virginia an dcame to the Maine coast
about fifty years ago, settling on Petit
Menan partly because the fishing in the
near-by waters w’as excellent, and partly
because it was near New Brunswick and
so afforded him a chance to escape over
the line in case the slave hunters came
after him. He built a small house on a
narrow neck of land, and marrying a full
blooded squaw of the Old Town tribe,
raised a large family of cross-bred boys
and girls. After building up a big reputa
tion for himself as a skillful and daring
fisherman, and amassing a small sum of
money, he died in 1890, and was buried on
the high ridge at a spot which he had se
lected. Years before he died he went to
Jonesport and ordered a tombstone for his
grave. It was a square block of polished
granite, upon which was engraved the fol
lowing inscription:
My race is run, my labors o’er;
From earthly cares my soul is free.
Here I shall rest forevermore —
Cursed be the man who troubles me.
Henry Over.
The stone was erected immediately after
the funeral, the lot was fenced in in ac
cordance with Over’s instructions, and the
old fisherman began the long. rest for
which he had asked, though the supersti
tious fisher people told a few tales about
seeing Over’s boats outside the reefs on
stormy nights.
In the summer of 1894 a company was
started with the idea of making Petit Me
nan surpass Bar Harbor ns.a summer re
sort. It sold little squares of sheep pas
ture at high prices and was making money
fast. People bought all along the high
neck of land, but when they came to the
place where Over was buried they hesi
tated. They didn’t want a pleasure cot
tage with a negro’s grave for next door
neighbor, though the site was onions the
best which the company had to offer. As
soon as the company was sure that the
graves were in the way of pecuniary suc
cess, it sent men at night, who dug up
the remains of Over and hi3 wife and
took them to Winter Harbor, placing the
curse-bearing tombstone above tiuwn.
The company's agents said it was hard
times that caused the failure of the en
terprise. Men who had bought and built
cottages on the land said that the fog
from the Bay of Fundy came there in
June, and didn’t go away until the next
July, filling the region with perpetual
darkness, so that nobody could see his
neighbor at midday. Other reasons more
dr jess logical have been assigned for the
total and unexpected collapse of the com
pany, which went r\own with a crash two
years ago. The residents don't believe any
of these stories. If the company had re
spected the last request of Henry Over
and allowed his body to rest in peace. Petit
Menan would now be far ahead of Bar
Harbor and a close second to Newport,
they say.
Since sheep has been turned loose to
graze upon the $50,C0!) house lots the resi
dents haVe talked the matter over among
themselves, and are raising money to hove
the bodies of Over and his wife brought
back. Until this is dona they believe that
Petit Menan will never see any prosperity.
