Considering the matter Of dress, there
are q few simple rules for public and
private sppesraneeA In going to the
opera, it is absolutely necessary TO wear
20 bonnet, but the pretty French and
Normandy caps may be worn. or any
light lace head covering. A deeolette
costume Is not 90 generally worn 10 Lon
don now as it was two years ago, but
square or V-shaped coTsages, elbow
sleeves aud the like may be Teen in stalls,
iress circle or boxes; equally and al.
most invariably sn opera cloak or wrap
Is carried, it not worn. Very pretty ligar
affairs Of this kind are now made Of
white cashmere, With swan s-doRn aud
feather trim ming, and consist OF a long
piece which can be wound about the
head and shoulders in q light way; pale
pinks and blues are also used, and some.
times are made Of soft light woods.
At the theater a bonnet may be worn
10 the dress circle or galleries, but never
10 the balls (parquetts) or boxes, and
even 10 the dress circle, it is considered
better taste TO 20 Eithout further head
covering than lace. 0nly a few DAYS

Ranraaas and PassenEers.

A New York Paner.l
1t is beginning TO be pretty we'll under
stood that, however arbitrary the rules
which a railroad company may print
upon their tickets, the passenger who
purchases q ticket does not thereby sur
render auy of his own rights, and does
not, by the purchase and use Of a ticket,
enter into any contract with the company
TO the prejudice of his rights under the
common law. The Railway Age has
lately beeS at the trouble of compiling
the decisions of the courts in suits OF
passengers to recover damages for eject
ment from trains, and draws therefron
the following conclusions, which are of
interest to business men and commercial
travellers, for whose information we re.
produce them;
l. A railroad company may make
reasonable regulations for the carriage
OF passengers. Conversely, a passenger
cannot be compelled to obey regulations
OF an unreasonable nature. Whether q
regulation be reasonable or not must in
case OF controversy be determined By the
courts.
2 A passenger must exhibit his ticket
when so requested by the conductor, or
he may be removed from the car.
; A passenger must surrender his
ticket when demanded by the conductor,
or be may be elected; but if the conduc-
tor takes the ticket before arriving at
destination, he must give the passenger
a conductors check, or some other evi.
dence of his right to ride.
4 II seems that if apassenger persists
in bisrefusal to pay fare until actually
elected, be ferfeits his common law right
TO re enter the car, ever though he ten.
der the demanded fare,
5 a railroad company has the right to
make q moderate discrimination IN the
rate of fare between those who purchase
tickets and those who do not. Ii a pas.
senger has not procured a ticket, he
must pay the additional rate or be re.
moved from the train. lle
6 A railroad company must afford
reasonable facilities for procuring tick
cts, but the ticket-ofice need not be kept
open after the advertised time for the
train to depart.
The decisions of the courts fully sus.
tain these conclusions, which show thai
a passenger has all the rights which b,
needs, and that be can compel the rail
roads to respect them.
