DsRdhemsl Eden.

What the Kansas people call their "Dead-
head Eden" Is located at Victoria, near Kun
ens City, in that State. A few years ago ono
Sir George Grant visited Kansas for the pur-
pose OF hunting, and SO pleased was he with
his experience that upon his return to Eng-
land he filled tho heads of former associates
full of stories Of the glorious country One OF
those associates Lord LOTUS, and forty other
young men Of noble families were lured
thither by tho reports. They recently enter
cd Kansas with flourish OF trumpets, and
founded the Victoria Colony, where an ele-
CANT 81 loon IL now maintained by drafts upon
titled fathers on the other side Of the Attain
tic The spirit OF boon companionshIp goes
SO far that the barkeepers have standing or
ders to furnish "drinks free to all visitors"
The folks of tho noighborhOOd appreciate the
kindness of the young nobemen, who spend
about $4,000 n year each. and Victoria Is
said to be on u never-endinR, never-fagRtnR
lark. Lord I!oftus is the possessor Of large
estates In Tipperary, and his professed object
In leaving London WAS t. get away from Wild
associations. How we'll he has succeeded Is
shown by tho Kansas City Times, which re-
marks that his lordship spent $1,000 for
liquors at the bars Ia that city during a
weeks visit last month. The colonlsts hunt
a great deal but most OF their days are spent
In card-play Ing and their nights In bachelor
orgies.

ELEGANT WHITE COSTUMES.
The prevalence OF elegant white costumes
at the most OerenOnious balls OF this winter
has given such toiletteB remarkable dlstlnc-
ton. Those especially beautiful have been
combinations Of plain satin and brocHde, and,
but for touches Of color here and there in the
flowers and ribbons used, these AasemblaRes
might appear Ike congregation OF brides
without their wells. The inclina ion to cling
to Princess outlines Ia still noticeable, whether
the waist is high or decoiiete, and pointed
basque waists are growing In favor. Some
beautiful costumes have come across tho sea,
with high waiat round In front and the
back en- basque. The front Ia beHed across
FROM the aide seams and fastened on the left
side with n handsome buckle orr large but
terfly bow with short ends.
