A Prize Beauty in Court.

Louise Montague, Forepaugh's ex-
beauty, sat nearly all day in Judge
Ludlow's court waiting for the trial of
suit against the circus manager to re-
cover the $40, 900 prize to come on for
trial. She was dressed richly, taste
fully, and fashionably. Over a skirt of
black silk. deliberately trimmed. she
wore dark blue jersey. tight almost
to the point of bursting. She had about
her neck narrow ribbon of some
shaggy stuff in silk that was tied in a
large bow and ended in large tassels.
Big solitaire diamonds sparkled in her
pink-and-white ears. Her hair was
combed plainly in front and drawn up
in two knots in the back, which were
held in place by n silver skewer with q
round gilt top. Her hat was like a
big flat shell, covered with brown vel
vet and garnishcd with beads and long
ostrich plumes. 1t was worn far up
from the forehead. A shadowy veil,
dotted with tiny beads, depended from
the hats brim and reached just to the tip
of her dainty nose. The red and white
of her complexion seen through this
covering WAS not so quite pronounced
rs when looked ut under it. A seal
skin ulster-valuc, rs estimated, $3.50
was thrown across her lap. The toe
of tiny kid boot now and then peeped
from under II part of it that trailcd on
the floor. The spectacle was full of
fascination, for half u score of country
witnesses in II suit about a Marlborough
barn that had Il place before the beau
tvs suit. But the beauty seemed no
more sensible of their admiration than
if she was Il wooden woman. The suit
dragged so that it took up all the ses-
sion and the beauty found herself left.
Under the rules OF the court her case
went over Till next term. Phiiadelphi0

Misplaced sympathy.

were very amusing, but IN aunt of the

AT II time when the museum was
quite full, some ladies passed i'm front

another, "that if people would convey

"Oh, that is an old plan" said the
first speaker; "thc labial language is
we'll understood by them; watch me

man, who was caressing the baby, and
looked him steadily in the face, at the
same time slowly articulating and
touching her lips.

and the interested ladies made a speedy
