and wonderful to behold. And this
is not q matter of "set" or fashion.
The same woman will be at the opera
on one evening in full dress in pri-
vate box, and if she does not own
the box, at the next performance in
the stalls or the parquet, with arms,
shoulders and head uncovered. A
lady had rather an unpleasant expe.
ricnce in an attempt some years ago
to disregard this tacit un nderstanding
among the sex in regard to dinner
dress ut hotels. She belonged to an
ultra fashionable set, and having
married a South Carolina planter
soon adopted what we call "planta-
ton manners" and affected no little
scorn of simple manner, reserved
New England folk. She was at New
port, our great seaside watering
place, and havingjust returned from
Europe, took great airs upon herself:
One evening at the tea-table gentle
man sat down near her, and the but
ter plate before him happening to
have no butter knife by it at the mo-
ment, he, instead of calling the wait
er and waiting for one to be brought,
used his own perfectly fresh bright
knife to take q bit Of butter. He
was a man of culture and social
standing, but a Yankee, aud one
whose social standing she wished to
flout. She siezed the opportunity,
and, calling a waiter, said, in an
elaborately subdued, but decided
tone:
"Take away that butter. That
gentleman has had his knife in it."
He took no notice of the remark,
which drew and all eyes upon him
aud the lady; but by-and.bye she
stretched oul her hand and took from
the plate some Clipped dried beet,
which stood between her and her
victim. This was we'll enough, of
course; but he turned at once, and
calling u waiter, said, only as if ask-
inc for more tea:
"Take away that dried beef, this
LADY has had her fingers in it."
In this encounter, such a. it was,
he was thought to have the best of
| it. and she did not forgive or forget.
So. . few days afterwards, they
being at dinner, she, conspicuous in
the full dress she had adopted since
| her tour to Europe, and which We 20
