Park. The whole trouble with Cooper
is that he has been making money too
fast. Money is very good thing to
have but for many people it is a curse.
The initiated men about town are much
amused by the statements of penny-a-
liners in newspapers which seek to curry
favor with the lowest classes that Ameri-
can society would not receive Mrs Lang
try. 1t strikes meTthat when 'society"
went on its knees before such very small
fry MS Oscar Wilde, who was rated below
par even in upper Bohemia in London,
they ought not to set themselves above
such a woman as Mrs. Langtry, who,
whatever the scandal-mongersl may say
about her is at all events lady of gentle
birth, and is one of the shining lights of
that society in fashionable London,
where all good Americans who go abroad
hope to look in if they are not actually
admitted. The truth is that the lady
has been literally overwhelmed with in
vitations, as might be expected. For, to
obtain such a card exclusively for her
receptions would be a great feather in
the cap of leader of society. But the
lady works so hard to obtain success in
her profession that she has no time to in
dulge in social dissipation. 1t may be
that she has offended pushing ladies by
these refusals, but in this respect she is
like Bernhardt, who likewise remained a
social reeluse during her stay in this
country Mrs. Langtry has come over
here for work and as her scjourn is but
brief, she has no time for play.

God and Mr.. Hilton only know. The
work of the masons and the workers in
stone is finished, and the wonderfully
beautiful wood carving in the interior
harmonizes in truly artistic manner
with the exterior. The vault where IL o
remains of the founder and his family are
to rest is as well lighted as the rest of the
crypt At the ends and sides are stained
windows representing biblical SCENES

critics are perfect, the musica! ear will
find nothing to be desired. The major
ity of the windows are stained with small
figures but thirteen in the immediate
vicinity of the sanctuary and pulpit show
almost the life size pictures representing
the Good SHEPHERD and the twelve apes
ties. The date of the dedication has not
yet beed fixed, but it is in the near future.
The stores are selling out all their
superhuous material at almost any price
and getting ready for the Christmas trade,
for which they will exhibit an unusually
large number of novelties. One of the
most charming additions to bric-a-brac
