l was lured into another be zaar the other day.
It was for the benefit Of u poor dear church.
and was given on the grounds belonging to a
private house. 1t was worse than all the
others, and the ladies who begged
you to buy this or that were
old, ugly, and vilely dressed. / bought
because I was forced to an ugly little statue,
and I have placed it in my private den where l
can shake my fist and scowl at it to my hearts,
content, 1 mean to tell you about one dress
worn tho first day by the very largest and
ugliest stallkeeper, and then l will be good
aud tell you all manner of pleasant things.
The foundation was the very heaviest black
satin: down the front of the underskirt were
ponderous looking %founces, edged with gold
lace; the over garment was gold
birds, beasts and fowls crawling over a
black satin surface. This was made more
hideous by yards and yards Of the same gold
lace; a large leghorn hat was trimmed with a
wreath of lemons and oranges, ~life-size.
Around the neck a cable of gold was hung, and
on various parts of the PERSONS person were
pieces of gold jewelry the day was hot, very hot;
the pcrspiration poured dow the red face Of
the woman who wore this dancing costume, and
I bought the ugly little statue of her. Do you

CONCERT COSTUMES.
The state concert last week was attended by
a brilliant throng of people. Patti did not sing
but Lucca. Valera and Trebelli did 80. There
was no lack of superb music. As at all affairs
where royalty attends there was much magnifi-
cent dressing. The princess of Wales wore
pearl embroidered white velvet, and
quantities of pearls and diamonds. Princess
Beatrice pin& and white and Princess Chris
tan mauve and roses. A very rich dress worn
by o tresh-loohing young girl waa white tulle,
sew drawing out of shane either the
tulle or the embroidery. Her ornaments
were white flowers and nothing else.
A dress of pale blue worn under black Spanish
lace and Topped with crimson roses and blue
feathers was odd but very handsome and strik-
sented this year were the purest, simplest
white, with ribbons and flowers; in some
cases a few jewels. and those pearls. A party
OF gayly and gorgeously attlred Indian princes
attracted considerable attention. These
dresses were richly adorned with jewels Of
every description. One prince wore a ruby on
his wrist, almost as large as the one in the
royal crown in the glass case in the Tower OF
London. 1t was surrounded with diamonds the
size of a ~marrowfat pea.
GARDEN PARTY W
AT a recent garden party the majority OF the
costumes worn were of thin material; ono, .
cream nuns yelling, had red embroidery. the
design in lunches Of curcants. The bonnet
was made of red cnrrants, and q corsage bou-
quet OF the same fruit was worn-a very pretty
costume, but the long red gloves and vivid
parasoi almost spoiled it. A dress of snowy
white muslin with much lace and many ribbons
looked really cool and charming. The parasol
was especially pretty, being made of white mus
lin embroidered ali over white daisies, the
hat was large and covered with ostrich plumes;
the gloves, long white silk ones. One lady
locked one huge blush, her gown, shoes,
hat, and gloves being of crimson. An

An urdersk;rt made of yellow lace YOUNGEST
and worn with a red velvet bodice, looked very
nice on a pretty brunette, and another of pink
crepe, with a claret plush bodice, looked
equally well on a very fair blonde. A dark

sewn all over-it just escaped, by
a hairs breadth, ~grotesqueness. A hand
some woman VINO wore a thin black dress and
a Barcelona lace mantel had but one touch of
color about her, and that touch WAS q cluster

light pink, the trimming consisting Of fifty
yards of creamy lace; fact-she told me go
herself. The fifty yards Of lace was disposed
most gracefully about tho gown, aud l guess
there was enough leff for a bonnet, for she
wore one made OF the same lace on her light
brown-haired head. l saw a very elegant
costume on a lady walking. The underskirt
was of brown and gold check India silk, andhad
two full ruches around the bottom, each ruche
edged top and bottom with brown lace. The
drapery and bodice were of brown, with brown
lace around the neck and sleeves, and formed
a jabot down the front Of the bodice; gold
colored straw bonnet, trimmed with brown
lace and gold colored velvet, and Suede gloves.
Don't that sound tasteful?
AT THE PLAY.
Miss Helen Vincent, who halls from your side
OF the water, appeared as Juilet Tue otner Gay De-
fore a big audience at the Strand theater. She was
very successful, and IS a very beautiful woman The
| dress she wore in the ballroom scene was made of
| the richest white brocaded velyet, and was covered
| with pearl embroidery. Her diamonds. too, we're
magnificent. The little lady certainly knows how
! to dress, and can act, too.
l see Lillian Russell is to make her appearance in
Paul and Virginia very soon. How London dude
dom will rejoice, to be sure.
l saw such a pretty gown on such a pretty windy
haired girl the other morning. 1t was a common
enough color. dark blue; but the trimming of silver
scroll braid was SO effective. and the
dark blue, broad trimmed hat. with a silver wing,
SO becoming. that it looked quite a novelty in the
way of gowns. What do you think her sunshade
was made Off Blue flannel like her dress, and
finished off on the top and handle with a silver
tassel. Ibeiteye she had q laughing silver tasse
tucked on the top of her dainty boots. What dc
YOU think?
/ came from town the other day with a female
Salyatici Armyist. She was quite pretty, and no.
more than twenty: and her brown dress and poke

an appealing sort Of air, she handed me
a copy of the War Cry. with az
