CLUB GOSSIP
There Is no truth In the statement that the gen.
femen now on the applicants lists of the Union
League and Union clubs will form themselves into
band and start club, which shall be known as
the Junior Union or the Junior Union League Club
The reason why this won't be done is plain enough
II man puts his name down on the list for the
Union League Club, he wants to go into that club
NO other club holds any attractions for him. and he
would be the last man in the world to start a new
organization while there was chance to get into
the old one. The membership OF the Union League
ana s Union Is now SO Wen balanced that man is
ODed 10 wait three or four years after he puts his
name down on the list before he comes up to be
voted upon.

houses and aspires to be leader in New York
society. He has failed leader because he lacks

THE NEW rRIMA DONNA.
Nine Sembrick has proved refreshing as prfma
donna She has not been guilty OF uttering the
muSh and sush that Patti and Nilsson get OF every
year when they arrive In America, and she seems to
be as truthful and honest as she is petite and
chunky. After the example of Patti and Nilsson,
who always speak of each other in the most endear-
private, Semb1ck has ventfated her opinions freely
OF her rivals She particularly rdicules the state

THE CoLERIDGE FEVER.
We are In the midst OF the Coleridge fever. Ever
since the reception rendered to the lord chief JUS
ttce of England, when Secretary Eyarts, Hamilton
Fish, Bishop Potter Carl Schurz and all the other emil
nent men OF New York struggled to do honor to the
visitor Coerdgeism has been the order Of the day.
Colertdge collars, Coerdge dinners Coleridge boots
the visitor, and COleridge breakfasts receptions
lunches and parties OF all sorts are the rage There
seems to be general tendency to make some re-
turn Tor the c0urteSieS that were shOwered upon
Gen. Grant when he was In England There Is
good deal of hunkeyism in the horn-blowing, how
ever.

BOXES Ar THE EKw OPERA HOUSE,
The Union Club has taken two boxes at the New
Opera house, and we shall now expect to see the 1
same men who have posed so long at the windows |
Of the Fifth Avenue transferred to Broadway and 1
fist street. This is certainly very hard on the
public. The s4old hens" as Mr.. Lor1llard called I
those persistent starers at women, are sufficiently
when seen through their club windows
Their constant presence at night In two of the most
prominent boxes OF the Opera house, Is q new In
Fiction.
Men are not wearing gloves now for fun dress,
and the watstc0at has fallen 80 low as to be almost
Invisible. Is Is impossible for q man to wear a
wafstcoat ia evening dress which exposes too much
shirt 'front.' The more the better The effect OF this
style OF dressing is to increase the spectacular effect
of fashionable dressed man. There is now vast
area Of white linen where formerly there was only
shaped bit OF shirt 'front.'
