A DEESS EEHEABSAE
GOOD STORY OF A YOUNG MISS WHO
YEARNED FOR SOCIETY.
1 ;
Her Premature Kntranoe Into the Charm
•« Circle and Ito Rmulto-An Amiable
Feminine Couiln and a Perfectly Horri
. fl«d Mamma.
•
A good story is told concerning one
of last winter’s debutantes, and since
the heroine tells it on herself there is
no impropriety in making it public.
The winter before last Miss M. was
still in the schoofroom, and though
she possessed social aspirations they
were not gratified by her mother. A
cousin from Philadelphia came to spend
the month of January with the family,
and, being an heiress and accustomed to
going about a great deal, her wardrobe
was a thing of wonderful fascination
to little Miss M. Singularly enough,
the figures of the two girls were of ap
exact size, and the younger found con
stant delight in arraying herself in the
frippery belonging to her good natured
cousin. Many an hour was devoted to
flouncing about the third story with
long skirts and hair tacked up under
the latest bonnet importation, and there
was much secret practice with lorgnette
and fan.
1J Mrs. M. and the rich cousin were
plunged to the eyebrows in social gaye
ties, to the enyy of the young daughter
of the house. One day Mrs. M. was
indisposed, and the rich cousin was con
fronted With the necessity of attending
iy herself a musicale, three teas and
making the cabinet calls. When she be
moaned the fact of going alone, her
youthful kinswoman was seized with an
inspiration. ‘*oll, well,” said she,
•‘lend me some of your clothes and let
me go;with you. Mother will never,
know anything about it ”
Being as amiable as rich, the visitor
consented, promising herself a treat in
beholding her young cousin’s entrance
into society. Only a short time was nec
essary for the changes of costume, and
when the heiress appeared at Mrs.
Blank’s musicale every one turned to
look twice nt the stunning little figure.
It Was a vision of bright eyes behind a
tantalizing veil, rebellious yellow curls
carelessly knotted and feathers, laces,
velyets and silks irresistibly Frenchy.
If she was the sensation of the musi
cale, she was the universal rage at the
teas. Every One wanted to meet her.
Young men fell over themselves and
others to obtain for her an ice or a mar
ron. "
And all the time the little society
fledgling was quaking and fearing and
blushing and suffering agonies behind
the veil. It was embarrassing to ac
knowledge that she was not going to
this and that social function, had not
seen the latest theatrical success, did
not even know the visiting nobleman
all the girls were raving over. Deeper
and deeper she became involved, and
the number of fibs necessary to invent
paralyzed her conscience.
And the little Miss M. breathed a
sigh of relief when, arrayed in her own
angle length gown, she was safely in
stalled in her own home. Presumably
her trials were ended. But not so; there
were consequences to be faced.
The next morning Mrs. M. appeared
at the breakfast table, and in the bunch
of mail there were several small envel
opes addressed to Miss M. Also there
were others with the inscription “Mr.
and Mrs. M. and Miss M.” Mrs. M.
passed these over with only an elevation
of the eyebrows, but her daughter
thought it wise to leave the room. Open
ing her private letters, Mrs. M. read a
note from a friend apologizing for a so
cial error and inviting Miss M. to assist
at her at home that afternoon. A second
note contained an apology for not hav
ing invited Miss M. to a debutante
luncheon ou the previous day.
Mrs. M. was completely mystified,
but an early visitor soon opened her
eyes. This visitor called hurriedly
to say how surprised she was that Mra
M. was introducing a daughter, and
compliments were profuse upon the
beauty and success of that daughter.
“She was quite the sweetest thing yes
terday at the musicale. Every one fell
in love with her. I want her to fill an
unexpected vacancy in _my young peo
ple’s dinner tonight. ”
Mra. M. gasped out: “There must be
aomp uustake. I have no daughter in
society. ”
“Why, your niece introduced her to
me, ” interrupted the astonished visitor.
But by this time Mrs. M. was ring
ing the bell furiously a«.d both niece
and daughter were hurriedly summon
ed. Explanations followed, and ulti
mately forgiveness, but it was some
time before Mrs. M. .managed to con
vince society that she was not launching
a beautiful daughter that season.
Last Winter, when this same charm
ing guT cdio.e out formally and correct
ly, and in her own instead of borrowed
finery, there must have been several so
ciety men saying to themselves: “By
jGve, where have I seen somebody like
Miss M.? Must have been some one I
met last season. ” —Washington Star.

WHITE HOUSE BLACK LIST.
Nmms of Vulnrited Versons Who Crowd I
Into Beeeptiom Procured.
The White House has a blaek list. It is
an interesting souvenir of this year's re- |
ceptioDs. It goes to prove that there are
persons who own fine clothes and who are I
not so thin skinned as to remain away |
from places to which they are not invited.
The invitations given this year to the
White House receptions were prepared with
unusual carp. Lists of the invited were
kept, and cards were issued to Individuals
byname. The heretofore indefinite and
indiscriminate “and ladies’’ waa not em
ployed. That there might be no misun
derstandings the secretary to the preai
dent, Mr. Porter, and the gentleman asao
oiated with him in the management of de
tails let it be known through the'newspa
pers that steps would be taken to detect
any who came without invitations. But
the method to be employed was not ex
plained. .
The trap was set, and it did Its duty. At
one reception 918 persons who had not
been invited camo to the White House and
participated. At another affair the num
ber of uninvited present was 150. The
manner in which the intruders were de
tected is interesting. As usual, each
guest on advancing to the entrance of the
receiving room waa told by ah official to
“give your name to the officers, who will
present you.” The name of eaob guest
was called outfTwico, first by tho officer In
troducing to the president and again by
the officer who made the presentation to
Mrs. McKinley. The announcing was
done with distinctness. But this year an
attache of the White House stood In a se
cluded nook and took <pwn* every name
that was called out. Comparison withjhe
roster of the invited was made subsequent
ly, and in this way the names of the unin
vited were singled out, and tho black list
was.created.
r - Tbiajwas not.all. Doorkeepers from the
senate and house were present to add their
knowledge of faces to that of the White
House ushers. Alphabetical lists of tbe In
vited were in the possession of theofflolals.
When there was a doubt about any one,
the. lists were consulted. «Some of the un
invited were asked for their addresses.
Subsequently letters were addressed to sev- <
eral of those who had come without invi
tations asking explanations of the breach.
Most of the letters were ignored. Several
replied, laying tho blame ou congressmen
from whom they claimed to have received
verbal invitations. Half a dozen depart
ment people were caught, and their cases
were referred to superior officials.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Varieties of Grasshoppers.
One of tbe very interesting gifts receiv
ed recently by the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia is modestly re
corded as “45 species and 108 specimens of
grasshoppers of eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, collected by the Feldman Col
lecting social.” This collection embraces
about one-third the species within the
boundaries named. There is probably
nothing new to the Academy of Natural
Sciences in this lot, but it is valuable nev
ertheless, for it teaches the uninitiated at
a glance, among other things, that there
Is much moire embraced in the genus
grasshopper than he before imagined. He
will discover, for instance, that conspicu
ous among the tribe Is the universally de
tested cockroach, the terror of all careful
bpusekeepers. If the person be a New
Yorker, he will quickly identify among
the cockroaches a little brown bug, which
be has perhaps hitherto only known as the
Croton bug, an insect which suddenly
made Its appearance In wpst numbers a
few years ago in the Crotop Water furnish
ed for drinking and domestic purposes.
Among the grasshoppers also are the
crickets and katydids, and hero again one
learns with surprise tjiat tho beautiful
green, long winged creatures which are
generally credited with accusing each oth
er in the dusk of the evening of having
done something or other are nut guilty.
The culprit is in the collection, however,
and it Is also green, but not of that deli
cate shade which is possessed by tbe one
so long accused. It is, moreover, a sullen
looking creature, with rounded head and
brownish legs, just the sort of an insect
that one would imagine would taka de
light in indulging in recriminations.—

Sugar a Mtucle Maker.
The German sugar manufacturers at
one of their recent meetings have gone
very thoroughly into the important role
played by sugar on our physical organisms.
Wo hate on several previous occasions gall
ed attention to the advantages of sugar
for muscular development and cited prac
tical experiments reletting to tbe same.
Some professors now go further and de
clare that sugar is the only source of
strength of man; other substances, such
as fate, albumen, etc., are transfonqed in
to sugar before their assimilation is possi
ble. Efforts are being made to have the
war minister look info the subject and
give special sugar allowances to the sol
ulers. That there be no expense for
the government in glvipg’the subject a
trial it is proposed that the German sugar
manufacturers furnish gratuitously suffi
cient sugar for the 2,000 men who are to
be kept under observation.
Examples are given of Russian factories
where men employed are more willing to
work when a certain dpily sugar allow
ance is granted. This is combined with a
sort of fruit pulp and may be kept so? a
period of years without undergoing the
slightest change. It vary Considerably
promotes digestion and muscular strength.
One need only recall a book written in the
early part of this century, in whlpb it waa
agreed that life could be considerably pro
longed by eating sugar in determined
quantities; forthose in excellent health it
helps to digest those dishes in which the
rich too frequently indulge; for those who
suffer from stomach pains sugar when
eaten after a meal will generally prove a
valuable specific.—Sugar Beet.
An 11l Timed Text.
A young woman who lives on Capitol
hill and has a name which exactly ex
presses her nature spent a part -ot last
summer in Atlantic City. There is in
Atlantic City an Episcopal church whose
doers are never closed. Tbe pastor is ex
ceedingly deyout and ultra high church,
and be reads prayers'* every day. The
Washington young woman went into the
church one morning. The rector had just
begun to read tho service, and she was the
only listener. The rector finished the
prayers, And it then became evident that
he meant to do bis full duty by his con
gregation. He was going to preach a ser
mon to the Washington young woman.
‘‘Dearly beloved, ’ * he began, gazing ear
nestly into space, “I purpose speaking to
you this morning from the text”— and to

STOLE A SIO,OOO OPINION,
f Who
ter .a ** .
Some years ago tho widow of a fa
mous Union general*was intimate with
the wife and daughters of a justice of
the supreme court and was as familiar
with their home as with her own,
which was in the immediate neighbor
hood. She was also intimate with the
family of a prominent and popular lob
byist, who was supposed to represent
Jay Gould, O. P. Huntington and other
men of large interests whenever any
thing concerned them in congress. All
the parties are now dead, except tbe
lady in the case, whom I will call Mrs.
Smith. She was a handsome, ambitious
and frivolous woman, whose husband
committed suicide by drowning himself
in his batfitab. She lived a gay life
afterward, but managed to keep many
of her old friends. Knowing her love
of money and the fact that her Income
did not keep paoe with her expenses,
the lobbyist told her that he would give
her SIO,OOO if she could get him a copy
of tho opinion which the justice was
expected to deliver in the supreme
court on the following Monday, involv
ing tho constitutionality of the Thur
man Pacific railroad law. He told her
that he knew the opinion was in manu
script and believed that the judge had
it locked up in the desk in his library.
Sunday morning, as soon as she saw
the justice and his family start for
church, she went across the street,
around Thomas circle, rang the bell and
told the servant that she wanted to look
at a book in the justice’s library. As
she Was accustomed to go about the
house almost daily they thought noth
ing of it, and she was allowed to re
main undisturbed in the same room
with the decision for nearly two hours.
It is supposed that she had a set of false
keys, for the justice said that the opin
ion, was locked up in his desk and could
not have been reached otherwise. But
at foiy rate the lobbyist is known to
have obtained the opinion in advance,
and -the woman was shortly after able
to pay off some pressing obligations. An
investigation disclosed the facts I have
stated, and it seemed to be the only
possible way the opinion could have
been obtained. Os course the incident
terminated relations between the two
families, and when the story got out
about town Mrs. Smith found it more
comfortable to rent her Washington resi
dence and remove to New York.—Chi

HANDKERCHIEFS WE USE.
BSB,SOO,OOb Single Ones Consumed In ths
Trade Yearly In This Country.
“ Very few people outside the trade, ”
■aid a leading wholesale dealer in hand
kerchiefs in New York to a reporter re
cently, “are aware that the consump
tion of handkerchiefs throughout the
United States amounts to about 75,000
dozen daily. This means 27,875,000
dozen yearly, or single
handkerchiefs. To satisfy this enormoutf
demand there are always kept in stock
in this city at least 850,000,000 hand
kerchiefs. It would be extremely diffi
cult to say what such a supply of goods
is worth in tho aggregate, as handker
chiefs soli at. wholesale at anywhere
from 80 cents to S4O per dozen, accord
ing to quality and finish. But the fig
ures which I have givea&you are not
exaggerated, and they throw a strong
light on the gigantio dimensions of an
important branch of the dry goods busi
ness.
“A comparatively small number of
handkerchiefs are manufactured in this
connfay, and those that are made here
are mostly of the cotton and inferior
silk variety. The finest silk goods are
imported principally from Japan, which
country sends us annually between 17,-
000,000 and 18,600,000 ’Japanese pon
gees.* The best cam brio article comes
from France and Belgium, and linen
handkerchiefs come from the north of
Ireland and also from St. Gall, Switzer
land. Japanese silk handkerchiefs are
worth from $3 to S4O per dozen, while
the imported cambrics from Brussels
sell for from $5 to $7 a dozen, and the
cotton product manufactured in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey may be had
for 80 cents per dozen.
“The capital invested in this busi
ness is immense. It may possibly
amount to $100,000,000, but owing to
the fact that the trade is distributed
nothing like accurate figures can be
given. There are six or seven firms in
the dry goods district which deal exclu
sively in handkerchiefs. But only two
of these houses handle the domestic ar
ticle extensively. Most of the large
American factories are located outside
of the city, but New York, as in sever
al other branches of the dry goods busi
ness, is the great distributing center for
the trade. '* —Washington Star.
