How Mr.. Gladstone Gagged a Te1e.
phone.


London Daily News.l
/ mentioned yesterday that in order to
attempt to meet the possible demand for
opportunity to hear Mr.. Gladstone the
Odd-fellows' Hall, quarter of a mile
distant, had been hired and connected
with the Corn Exchange by telephonic
wire. In the interests of science and of
the Daily News, l commissioned a gen.
tleman to attend and take notes of the
success of the experiment. He reported
that the audience distinctly heard the
cheering and singing of the meeting in
the Corn Exchange, and also the strains
of the band. Lord Rosebery's voice was
also recognized, and it was gathered that
he was saying pleasant things about Mr..
Gladstone. Next came burst of cheer
ing, the sound of which was suddenly
stopped, and long interval of silence
followed, varied from time to time by
the murmur of distant cheers.
Then as suddenly as silence had fallen
there came the sound of MIR. Gladstone's
voice, and he was followed pretty well
through Ito quote your reporter in the
Odd-fellows' Hall) "some remarks on corr
averages and the condition of India. "
All this, which greatly mystifed the tele.
phonic audience, is capable of easy ex-
planation. Observers Of Mr.. Gladstone
manner in the House of Commons will
remember what an important part the
right honorable gentleman's hat plays in
his great speeches. He invariably places
it on the table a little to one side of him
and on the top of it he places his notes
which he rapidly shufles and rearrange'
as the Grafton progresses. This after
noon, bringing his hat to the table in hi
accustomed manner, he unconsciousl!
planted it right in front of the cylinde
of the telephone which had been fixed OIL
the table, thus Of course cutting off thu
means of communication. A sthe speecl

ried by ladies to a blamable excess of
quantity; so much so that a wit said
one day that a woman was "the least
part of herself" The present fashions
do not bear out this observation.
The common brown OWLS head is the
fashion of the moment in Paris for
trimming the side Of hats, instead OF
the pompon, which has been so long
popular; an owls head is also fastened
to the muff that is worn with the hat.
Feathers are more than ever in de-
mand. Both dyers and curriers' diversity
plumes to the utmost; some Of the last
novelties are shaded in blue on one side
of the stem, and in red, yellow, or some
rangely-contrasting hue on the other.
The Christmas cards made in this
country have found great favor in
Europe, and are more favorable than
ever this season. The newest are the
panel cards with beveled edges, gilded
and ornamented with designs of birds on
reeds and flowers.
For the Christmas tree there are
shown wax fruits that look most natu-
raj, bannerets, isinglass ornaments in
vases, tiny birds with human faces and
flowers of wax, decorated candles, bril-
liant refectors, flying cherubs, and to
stand at the foot is the snow-covered
Santa Claus with his empty pack.
The fashion in floral garnitures for
wedding, ball and evening costumes, has
changed somewhat since the early fall.
Parti-colored and full-blown flowers are
still worn in large masses at the waist,
but the newest style exhibits bouquet
high on the corsage, at the left side, with
vine running from it to the throat,
where is fastened a smaller bunch of the
same flowers. Sets of garniture for even
ing dresses associate loose-leaved roses,
poppies,s ,sunfowers and other large blooms
with quantities of foliage shaded in rich
warm colors. The foliage is often CON-
posed of velvet while the flowers are OF
silk. Bridal garnitures employ the con-
ventional orange blossoms, white pinks
and lilies of the valley.
