emnized, it is said, with unusual splen.
dor during the coming autumn. The
summers recreation has given new
stimulus to the interest in trousseaur,
and it is whispered in well informed
circles that white tulle will be more
worn than ever in the trimming OF wed.
ding dresses and tulle wells will be
more popular than less diaphanaus and
becoming textures of greater value
The melancholy days. however, the
saddest of the year, which drive people
from the seashore and the mountains to
brick walls and pavements still reeking
with August heat and summer odors,
are rapidly approaching. The sea
beach is strewn with the debrie of the
summer campaign. The legitimate oc-
cupants of the sand, the seaweed. the
shells, the pebbles and the queer insects
are almost displaced by the evidence OF
human proximity. 1t is in vain to assert
that crinoline and skirts of feeble APP
pearance are no longer worn. If OBJ
solete, why should they be detected in
corners of the beach, near bathing
houses? The mighty ocean is no res.
pecter of things more than of persons.
Mysteries Of the toilette preserved invio-
liable for years, haye been ruthlessly
torn from their owners and exposed to
the gaze OF heartless world by the
thoughtlesS waves. The ordeal of a sea
beach on crowded morning is trying
one at all times. Since gentlemen on
these occasions are sometimes indiscreet
three ladies of fashion decided to turn
their indiscretion to account and wager
ed gloves and bonbons with their especi-
al admirers that they would not recog-
nize them in the disguise of bathing
suits. Much watchfulness was display
ed on the part of the interested gentle
men when the ladies sought the seclu-
sion of the bath house, but bonbons and
gloves were in such wonderful demand
on the following day tnat it was quite
evident that they considered themselves
vanquished and that the ladies, sheltered
under the disguise of flannel bathing
dress, an oil-skin cap and delapidated
hat, had won the wager. In fact, their
ecstacy al finding tN. nselvea unknown
under such unfavorable circumstances
and the segacity of their cavaliers un-
equal to the task assigned to them, was
said by those gentlemen to be unbecom-
ing in the extreme.
No. 1913 Lexington avenue is com
Portable modern New York mansion
that bears no outward indications of
differing with its brownstone neighbors.
But every politician in this State would
give something pretty just now to know
what is going on in this unpretentious
mansion. 1t is the house of President
Arthur. 1t has been asserted that the
visit Of the President to New York at
this time has no political significance,
that he is only taking q few days of
needed rest, and has left behind him in
Washington all questions of politics to
be decided upon his return to the Execu-
tive Mansion. Old politicians laugh at
these assertions. and say the President
enjoys nothing better for recreation than
taking hand IN the Empire States af
fairs and Furnishing his enemies and re-
warding his friends. 1t is agreed by
the knowing ones that these few days of
rest at the Presidents New York home
will result in fixing up the Republican
slate for the fail elections. If you We're
permitted to know what is now going
on at No. 123 Lexington avenue, about
next Monday you would know VINO
We're going to be the Republican stand

campaign beyond doubt. 1t is whisp-

programme is marked out, they say, to
have New York represented in the

Folger. Its long time ahead, but it
will come to pass, and Folger as Gov

the tulfillment of the programme.
