At a French Fete.

Lucy HOOPER, writing from Paris TO
the Philadelphia Press of the grand Off
cial ball at the Elysees, saws: Dia-
mOnds we're plentiful as pebbles upon
the seashore. The woman who did not
have diamond necklace did not look
exactly in full dress. There was one
lady there, Russian Princess, | believe,
who wore such emeTalds as | never be-
fore saw in the possession of any private
individual. The center stone of her
brooch was one huge round emerald, cut
en- cd6ocf0a tthat is TO say, without facets),
and 1t was about the size of an English
walnut Attached TO this brooch in the
guise of pendant, hung pear-shaped
emerald corresponding in dimensions,
though differing so widely in shape. y
coronet of emeralds ami diamonds and u
necklace of large solitaire diamonds, in
terspersed with pendent pear-shaped
emcralds, made up the ornaments
of this muchj jewe'ed lady. As TO the
gentlemen, they were almost as well
worth looking at as the ladies in the
matter Of clothes. Uniforms blazing
q it6 gold em6Uoi8egy, breasts hidden
6eaeath broad ribbons on blazing Wl1n
Stars and crosses, swords aa0 goa lace
and all other appurtenances Of mascu-
line finery, were the order OF the evening.
In fact, most of the gentlemen present
looked as if they had gone out 10 walk
under a shower of falling stars without
their umbrellas. WAS particularly
struck with one point in regard to the
feminine portion Of the aSSemblage, and
that was the total lack OF beauty There
was not one really beautiful woman
present. There were some with
fine eyes and others with fine shOul-
derS and still others with grace
full figures, but for actual striking
lOyeliness, or even that degree OF beauty
which is common to at least One-thiTd of
the well-bred women of AmeTica-there
was none of it. A Philadelphia assem-
bly, numbering 500 guests could display
fifty times the amount of female charms
than did this assemblage of over 5000.
The clothes were neutrality-suspicious.
far beyond anything that one ever sees
at home, and the faces and forms were
nothing in particular, if not actually
ugly. The aged element, too, came out
very strongly among The ladies. Eener-
able dOWageTS, with sCraggy or beeiy
nccks, much laden with diamonds, and
with masses of false hair on their poor
old skulls, sat up in battalions and
yawned at the dancers. There were
myriads of these antiquated perSonages;
they quite threw the young girls into the
| background. But young girls arc no
bodies in France Il looked rather odd
TO my transatlantic eyes to behold the
rows of solemnlooking damsels in sim
pie tulIe or plainest tarlafan, with never
a Jewel and scarcely rosebud to adorn
their attire, seated demurtly by tneiT
namnas, and looking horribly bored
! What good time party Of American
girls have under such circumstances al

sryle of doing things socially is right af,

should be the predominatIng one in so
ciety. Let the young things do the fiirt
