Since the Empress EuEenIe,S time LQeTe
l11s been 10 recognized leaders of fashion In
Paris, and comcly and convenient styles OF
dress remain longer in vogue tlinn formerly.
There is a difference between. the lips Of a
young man and the lips Of a young lady-but
sometimes 1t is a mighty small one.
The Custom-Uousc officers of New York
carefully inspect the inside Of 1ishfng-r0ds,
in case Sarah Bernhardt might slip into the
country III that fashion.
The interest in art now centres On the
splendid collection of paintings at O'Brien's
Gallery, pronounced by connoisseurs to. be
tie finest in artistic merit Of any ever exhib-
tied III the city.
Compared with the dress of little girls. in
fashions consideration the dress Of little
boys is of secondary Importance; as is the
dress OF men compared with that Of women.
1t is very evident the ladies appreciate the
many good things offered them at the "Cen-
tr;ll Cafe,'' "Ccnttal NIusic-1Iall Building,''
exceptionally cool, the call for ices, creams,
etc.. especially after theatres, was very graft
flying to the proprietor.
Carlyle belug once asked the difference be-
tween II natural fool and an educated fool,

never able to determine which kind Of fool
llo was.
Chicago can now boast of really tirst-class
hotel. The Leland Hotel, SO beautifully sit
uated OIL the Lnke-Frollt, is one Of tho finest
hotels III this country, the frescoes ull through
the house are real works OF art.
