Ny old statisticiau says there are just four OF
these beautiful sage green dresses in Saratoga
Three, he says, are worn by very stylish young
ladies' and one is worn by an old lady who has
no business to be wearing 1t. Every time he
sees one of those beautiful dresses he goes into
an eestacy of delight. He rubs his hands and
says, 'There comes the agony Of Paris-S4OO If
it's a cent"
When we look up it is q sage green.
Yesterday one of the beautiful young ladies
who wears q sage green took a ride over to the
lake with my friend Gus. Gus has got good
blood in him, but he isn't very "stampy." He
always takes TO expensive girls, and after get
ting interested in them they talk such eXpeDs-
i've talk about camel's hairs, velvet suits and
trips TO Europe, that poor Gus gets frightened
off. He comes up in my room and says he dom
believe there is a girl in New York who don't
cost her father $4,000 a year just for aice
clothes. ThcnIhe buries his face in his hands
aud says, "Oh dear, there is no chance for a
poor fellow on $4,000 year"
Yesterday Gus came into my room looking
light and happy His eyes fairly shone with
ecstacy of blissful emotion.
"What is it, Gus 2" | asked.
give found her! she's hereP and then he
stopped to catch his breath.
"Who's here?" asked, thinking perhaps that
Mrs. Woodruff or Susan B. Anthony had ar
rived.
"Why, the girl I've been looking for-sweet
young, stylish and not expensive"

glasses; I'D like to see such girl myself.
