ry of Due de GrammOnt Cadcrousse:
One evening, when dining with party
of young men at the Maison dor, the
Duke said: "Genllemen, / will bet you
that without having any reason therefor,
the police Will arrest me Within an
hour"
"Done for fifty louisw was the reply.
Caderousse jumped into a cab ana rode
to the temple and came back in the most
sordid costume it is possible to imagine.
He BACKED his face and grlmmed his
hands then begged his comrades TO follow
10 witness the arrest. They followed him
to cafe on the Boulevard Poissoniere,
where the Duke seated himself at a table
with sidelong, sneaking motion, and al
ter moment called to the o ter:
"Garcon, bring me a bottle Of cham
pagneW
the waiter hesitated, looked at his
clothes, and then said:
"But, mon bonhomme, that costs
twelve francs"

Caderousse, do you think havn't the
means of payingp
And as he said this be drew from one
of his dirty pockets package of bank
bills and laid Al, 900 francs down before
the astonished waiter. The latter rar

Duke into custody upon suspicion o.
having stolen money upon his person. Al
last he said:
"Monsieur, I am the Duo de Gram

the police would arrest me without hav
ing any reason for SO doing, and have
won that bet. Here are my friends tc
prove it, and it only remains for me tc

In Miss Smiley's sermon last night she
said that the extravaganza of women
was the chief cause OF the numerous
financial failures that have recently ex-
listed in our land. The heavy burdens
that they place on their husbands by
their extravaganza in housekeeping,
In house furnishing, and in dress
| for themselves and their children
bring various calamities. The love
Of dress IL the great evil
Of woman's life and the cause of her for
saking paths of virtue. These state
ments of the gifted lady are not pleasant
to hear, but we do not doubt their truth.
We only tear that some Of those ladies
present last night. Display in dress has
come to be SO prevalent that 1t Is impos-
sible to tell Christian woman from a

OH the street arrayed in just as much
fnery as they can by means fair OF foul
obtain, and the more attention their
dress attracts the more are they graft
fled. A Partisan lady of responsibility
never wears diamond on the street,
or indeed anywhere, in the daytime.
Diamonds are reserved for evening
wear and proper " occasions. While
here, and notably with Cincinnati
ans, ladies go out shopping wearing dia-
monds and alpaca dresses! An infalli-
bic evidence of shoddyism, lack OF cul-
ture, and ignorance of the eternal fitness
of things. 1t is strange that ladies OF
intelligence, of position, OF Christian pro-
fession do not rally and agree to modify
their style of dress to simplicity,
without ornaments that are useless and
In the worst possible taste. II such
things must be worn let them be monop-
olized by the brainless and the demi-
monde. If Miss Smiley can awaken
women to take this stand she will have
accomplished the greatest work ever
youchsafed to mortal to perform.
