The feature Of the last one was Mrs. John

The ball, attended while there and escorted
home by whom do you think

wear diamonds, as Mrs. Aston does, that ]
would infinitely prefer losing them to being
attended at my friends houses by detectives.
Well, everybody has thor own taste. Every
blessed button on that woman's dress was
solitaire diamond. As Mr.. Boany says in
in "French Flats" Streams
OF diamonds meandored over
her shoulders" She scintillatcd when she
moved, she cleaned and gittered when she
stood still, while ON each side, like dark

who moved when she moved, and stood still
when she did,
speaking of riches, Mr.. Vanderbilt has
among other little trifes, thirty-one millions
Of dollars in United States per cent. bonds,
which alone yield him an annual income OF
over one million dollars, and this is but one
item of his vast fortune How many people
This one item could make comfortable every
year.
Hirths murderers have been found guilty
Of murder in the first degree. But suppose
they will not be hanged as Mrs. Hayes has
decided that no ono shall be hanged in the
District Of Columbia while her husband is
President. A man sentenced to death last
month for numbering his wife and nearly
killing his sister was reprieved Friday, for II
month. am surprised to hear this Of Mrs.
HAYES. She does not impress me as person
likely to encourage crime and lawlessness, rs
this course is certain to do. | believe her to
be most excellent woman, possessed of firm
sense and sound judgment, and surely
such woman would not offer
a premium for guilt. such
as sure pardon would be to n villain like
Bedford.
| was told last week that the Moxia Ledger
had credited me with some remarks about
l.-n.z. D1lra l., Ct I,nuic .nonnr Tho
Ledger is mistaken. do not now write, nor
have ever written for any 81. Louis paper
AS did not see the Ledger, ! do not know
whether am to be pleased or vexed nj what
it said. | can only hope it was something
very nice.
/ desire here to ackno Aledge the
receipt Of the Houston Evening
Post very bright newsy, read
able little paper, to which | wish all the
success it deserves. Itproposes TO be indie
pendent in everything and "neutral in moth
ing under the blessed SUM-" Now, am such
double-dyed Democrat that am generally
shy of Independent politics in newspaper,
but so far the Post, of Houston, seems all
right, and if it keeps close to Colonel Charley
Stewart it will never leave the Democratic
ranks, Ireckon.
The milliners are III quandry. Iney
don't know whether to have their spring
opening in few days and then the regular
"card opening" Just before Easter. The ten
dency in bonnets is to broader crowns.
The gorgeousness Of winter colors viii be
somewhat soflened by spring tints, which
will copy nature. Delicate germs, pale blues,
light rose colors will, for few months, dis
place the yellows and scarlets of winter. LII
q most delightful evidence Of Improvement
in art culture, TO see the tickle Goddess
Fashion taking lessons in the studios Of ma
ture's copyists.
The decoration mania has probably
reached its extreme and good results viii
follow il when it settles down TO moderation
Indeed the present absurd extreme is prefer
able to the marked simplicity OF FORMER
times.
Nowhere is the result Of the art mania
more manifest than in posters, especially the.
atrical posters. Full-length portraits in
colors or in crayon, are posted on bulletin
boards that would have been hung up in
drawing rooms ten years ago as maryels Of
art. One especially Of Joseph Jefferson and
Ada Corendlsh were superb.
Another admirable sign Of progress is
cheap literature. Monroe & Co, who pub
lish the Seaside Library are republishing Eng
lish views, such as the Contemporary and the
"Forlnightly" for 1925 per year. The
Franklin Square Library is also giving
us some excellent books very cheap. The
