The EncrOachment of Fash
ion

Mt. Desert (Me.) Correspondence.
The West End has hops every
week, and the women who attend
them display a wealth of clothes
very much rs they do at Saratoga
ana Long Branch. Three or four
years ago there was no elaborate
dressing, and this fact was men
toned as one of the recommends
tions of the place. Many womt n
still come here with only one
trunk, containing the plainest
gowns for sailing, wading, climb
ing or driving. But they are be-
coming fewer and fewer, and l
fear that within five or six years
simplicity and naturslness will be
in a fearful minority.
The West End is, at present, the
nucleus Of fashion. There the wo-
men dress for dinner, and undress
for evening, and 60 to bed, am
told, in such elaborate nightgowns
that their husbands stand in awe
of them, when they have hus-
bands. They probably frightened
Morpheus, when they had no NOR
tai near. by the splendor of what
they like to call their nocturnal
robes. Night gowns sell in New
York for $500 to $500 each-those
of the high art order, mean--and
they are in active demand. l
should think they would be in
more request than their animated
| contents.
This reminds me of young
BostOnian who married a New
York girl last winter. They went
abroad on bridal "trip for six
months, and, coming home, one of
his acquaintance meeting him
said jocularly: "Well, my dear
boy, L suppose you are delighted
with your pretty wife. You think
her radiant goddess, no doubt.
Men always do have sxtravagant
notions of their wives the first
year of marriage" The Boston
ian smiled rather drearily as he
replied: swell, the fact Is my
wife has too many clothes for ev-
cry possible occasion, and they are
all of ssuch Aresplendent pattern
that my time has been mainly ia
ken up in admiration of them. /
have not really got acquainted
with my wife yet; but | dare say
that, In the course of year or so,
/ shall get down to the actual wo-
man. Devilish queer creatures
women are, amt they?'

Sad Result of Scarcity of
Young Men

Burdette, of the Burlington
Ha,okeye, tells how scarcity of
young men works for evil at Nan
tucke,:
Zone evening, | don't remem-
Der when, | introduced young
frie q of mine, and he Is very
young aud very bashful, Mr.. JUL
al G.. ETginbrod, of Buffalo, to a
young lady cquaintance. After
few moments Of society chatter
he suggested the ice cream saloon.
Then she rose aud introduced him
to her two schoolgirl friends, her
mother, the mother Of one OF her
friends and an aunt who was Wis
ting them. Then the aunt intro
duced him to her eldest sister and
an old lady who was not a relative,
the explained but as dear TO them
as though she was their own
mother.
"Ineu they all said, in a gener-
al sort of a way, well, are you
ready p and answered themselves
in the Affirmative, as they slowly
followed the horror stricken young
man to the door. and the process
sion filed off down the street to-
ward the ice cream saloon, stop
ping on the way at a house to pick
up tie old lady's daughter and
calling at a store for the twin cou-
sins of one of the aunts-beautifu
girls they were--from Springfield.
81 watched the column when it
swung by 'fours, right into line
in front OF the ice cream saloon,
where it formed like line of men
at a railway ticket office, the old
lady smilingly and patiently
bringing up the rear, standing un-
der the dickering gaslight and the
steadtast stars awaiting her chance
at a. . Ia tt.-Uzen putting.
cit was far. far in the summer
night, when Julian Elginbrod re-
turned to the hotel, and when /
looked out of the window and saw
his pallid face and glittering eyes,
and noted the club in one hand
and the revolver in the other, and
heard him mention my name and
ask the night clerk what was the
number of the room, feared that
he might feel harshly toward me,
and L barricaded the door of my
room with the lounge, the bed
stead, the stove and the trunk just
before he came banging against it.
He SLEPT In the hall that night,
across my threshold, andI only
escaped the next afternoon, when
the landlord, aweary Of his inces-
SAINT pounding of my door panels
with his club, had him arrested as
a dangerous lunatic."
