the Spanish minister. who is one of the
features of the States. Up and down
the piazza or through the parlors madame
flashes with her velvets or silks sweeping
after her, and her great diamonds blazing
like sparks of fire. She made Q brilliant
picture one evening in black velvet drees
with white opera cloak richly embroidered
in gold thrown over her shoulders. Up the
back piazza of the States she came when
the music was playing and the crowd was
greatest. In her wake were two or three
dark haired Spaniards. Lo! one of them
had the misfortune to tread on the long
velvet train, and msdsmes black eyes
blazed and her brow darkened, and quick,
short Spanish exclamation escaped her lips:
but what woman will not at least inwardly
resent such q piece Of awkwardness IN q
man! 1t is really wonderful how the poor
creatures do manage to get foot room when
way.
The dresses are worn very short in front
to display the dainty sandal slipper, with
its embroidered silk hose, which always
matches the toilet. It's q wonder how the
gentlemen resist falling in love with a
woman in one of the marvellous toilets of
the period, with foot encased in a pink
silk hose and No. l slipper. Yet they do
resist the temptation most manfully, and
season after season they haunt the great
Saratoga hotels, and live their selfish
bachelor lives of ease and pleasure and
freedom. 1t is said that they count the cost
of these silken hose and Paris dresses, and
wonderful item they make; but do they count
the cost of their Havanas, their amusements
and their wines. Our young men can not af-
ford to marry. A hotel bill for two, accord
ing to mathematical rules, is Just double,
and it is trebled and quadrupled when a
woman is the choice, and then
. French maid is costly necessity to
care to wed. So taking all these things
into consideration, the model young man
lives single until he is far past his prime,
and the pleasures of this world are BEGIN
ming to pail, and then it may be, for the
'ake of variety, he takes q wife, or it NAV
be, for the sake of q woman to preside over
Ills dinners and his home. There is lit
