Let the Poor Read.
New York Times. ]

A few days ago the wife of one of our
most millionary millionaires' gave a
luncheon party at her Fifth Avenue
home to seventy-two ladies. There
we're twelve tables, each table arranged
for six guests, with different service, the
cloth, napkins, glass, china, flowers,
every bit of equipment and garniture,
indeed, even to tie gas shades, harmon
izing color and design. The glass and
china were Of novel pattern and the
costliest kind, and the napkins and
table cloths elaborately wrought. In
stead of the ordinary cards, with the
names inscribed, were cards finely and
specially painted, deserving to rank
as works of art, the subject suggested
by gastronomy in some form or other.
AS mementoes, various trifes, as they
were called, were placed beside the
plates. They were fans, boquet hold
ers, ornamental glove buttoners, and
the like, each and all of curious and
dainty workmanship. The effect of the
twelve tables and their varied service,
with the guests in rich visiting dress of
the latest mode, must have been ravish-
ing to the feminine eve, though it is
doubtful if the masculine mind could
have had any just appreciation of the
ingenuity and expense of the entertain.
ment. 1t was intended to be, and prob.
ably was, the most elaborate luncheon
party yet given in the city, and lunch.
con parties have been feature of metro
politan society this season. We are
obviously not drifting toward the days
of Spartan simplicity.

WHY Cold Winter Affects the Paris.

American housewives may speak of
Parisians as the Wise Virgins perhaps
did of the foolish, after the latter were
turned into outer darkness. Why did
you not, you imprudent, good-for-noth-
ings, lay in, they may ask, stores of every
thing YOU wanted for winter use
Why7 Simply because there is no room
for storing any thing in our habitations.
The Paris dealer in provisions and
other articles of household consumption,
is to all intents and purposes store !"
keeper. Because of the lack of space in
Partisan fats, cooperative stores which
flourish in London never worked well
here. We depend on the Auvergnat
across the street for our wood. ON the
butcher, few doors of, for our meat,
on grocer close at hand for our sweet
| stuffs, and when not in the immediate
/ vicinity of a market, on the green
grocer for potatoes. milk, butter, cheese
aud all sorts of vegetables. We pur-
| chase "fresh and fresh," just as we
want things for our tables; and when
our tradesmen fail. as some of them are
doing this winter, the best thing we can
do is to grin and bear it. Where the
Partisan only lays up for future use is
in the wine cellar. Every moderately,
well-to do Bourgeois has there a good
store of the two B's-Burgundy and
Bordeaux, and choice stock of fine
dessert vintages. If he can, he makes 8
little room for a small provision of logs
| to burn in winter. But as severe
weather does uot generally last many
days at time, he is not often induced
to cut down his provision of table-drink.

about Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers
has led to an extent of adulteration and cheap
ening of material never before known in the
business. Crude rubber has the quality of alb
sorbing or of becoming incorporated with very
large quantity of cheap and bulky substances
like lampblack, chalk, etc., which cannot be
detected by the uninitiated, and which impair
the durability of the goods. People call for
low-priced goods, not rejecting that low prices
always mean low quality. The result is they
waste money on widecat" rubber boots, when
an extra dollar or two would buy them o pair
which will wear to their utmost satisfaction n
whole season or more. The "95 Per Cent.
Sterling Rubber Boot" manufactured by the
Candee Rubber Co., New Haven, Conn, i.
meant to reform this abuse, and is we'll worth
the inspection of those who need a real good
article. Every store dealing in the "95 Per
Cent. Sterling Rubber Boots" is supplied with
sample cut open to show the construction.
They are warranted three months, and tbe
storekeeper will punch the date Of sale in the
TOP of the leg of each boot.

A Female Bandit,

The district of Saranzaro, in Southern
Italy has recently been overrun by a
horde of bandits under the leadership of
lovely damsel, Maria Croci. This ad-
ventures. whose personal attractions
are reported to be little short of soul
subduing by those who have been fortu-
nate enough to escape from her clutches,
was formerly the bride of mountaineer,
who occupied q distinguished position in
the band at present commanded by her.
THIS fellow met with his death by the
rifle of carbiniere, whereuron his af-
ficted betrothed picked up his gun,
raised it toward heaven, and avowed to
avepge his cruel fate. Elected captain
of the association by her depsrted's COM
rades, she has become the terror of the
whole district, where she has earned a
reputation for ubiquitousness by the
| rapidity of her movements. She burns
| farm house one day, plumbers church
the same night, and carries a nunnery
by assault before she retires to her well
earned repose. Troops are out after hel
in half dozen directions, but she has
heretofore managed to evade them.

they help us out of it in the end; SO
