tractive of the imported bonnets shown in
the openings are large pokes, whlle the
larger shapes in hats are slowly but steadily
trenching upon the taut and trim shapes
that grew into popularity last spring and
summer. Fur will bear an important part
in the later millinery of the season, and, as
substitute for the real article, there are
limitations in plush-friese plush giving the
effect of natural or undyed sealSkin, long
nap plush Stimulating the short-haired furs,
with limitations in clouding, stripping and
mottling of chinchilla, tiger and leopard
skins. Bonnets and hats trimmed with fur
generally will have muf1e to match.
SNoBS
have been written about eternally, and
nearly every person who has handled pen,
from Thackeray down, has taken fling at
them. A big, proud, puffy, out and out
snob, whether he be q snob on account of
his money, or snob on account of his
blood, is not so bad, because one laughs at
him instead of growing envious. A little
bit of a snob, who carries his nose higher
than the rim of his hat, frowns porten-
tously, and stalks with wierd as
sumption of grandeur, is in some instances
comical and grotesque. But the snob who
knocks the patience from us all is one who
is servile. sycophantic and immeasurably
polite to his superiorS, and bullying, i'll
tempered and supercilious to men whom he
may for moment find it in his power to
annoy. A specimen of this vanity came
under my notice at Jerome park. He is a
pompous little man, with scraggly beard.
Another gentleman" was small person,
whose family recently advertised the fact
that they would no longer be responsible
for his debts, and he is refused the shelter
of his fathers house. He ran away four
years ago with his mothers diamonds and
sold them in Paris for $1,000. L doubt if
he is received in a single house of respect
ability in town. Another one OF the ''gen-
tlemen" was Canadian who wears the
most English of English clothes, and who
recently disappeared from a position he
held as bookkeeper in White street dry
goods store, with suddenness that led to
some inquiry. He was found to be inter-
ested in poker game, where butchers and
occasionally negroes played. New York
has not yet established its society on so firm
basis that it can afford to brag of its ''gen
tlemen" in general way.
But must not be bitter. Rather let me
coagulate my readers with sweetness.
Recollection of some of the masculine fools
verify. | remember, too, that the women
were
GENERALLY DEL IGHTFUL.
There was fresh bride who personified
all that is rapturous in new wifeliness. Her
expression of surprised wonder at ''what on
earth this world can be-" her appearance of
occasionally awakening from drowsy inno-
cence to the realization of the fact that the
fellow by her side was her husband, and
her gentle Representatives, at everything
rude or strange, were very neat and pretty.
Her matrimonial partner was an amateur
oarsman, as [ happened to know; and when
he graSped her hand to assist her in getting
out of the carriage. the callousness OF his
palm was to her soft one like nutmeg
crater to piece of dough. She f1inched and
made a nice little exclamation of pain.
What with China silk underwear and the
finest of gossamer gloves and stockings, the
cuticle of the fashionable girl has become
abnormally sensitive, no doubt; but it seems
to me that bride ought to prepare herself
for rougher surfaces, for she can't expect
the bridegroom to keep his gloves on from
the altar to the grave.
The toilets were more elaborate at the
races than are permissible on other out

the arrangement of draperies, the cut OF
bodice and the ornaments used to set them
off had been seen than the new suits. If
women are to wear brocades stiff with golt
thread, glittering with beetle-wings and
covered with seinework of wooden beads
the dark days of winter can have no terrors
for the spectator. However, many of the
greatest novelties in suits and wraps were
of rat-colored, leaden-hued velvet, and the
NEWEST SHADE OF ALL,
and the wearers of these may serve as fol
to their sisters, as well as balm for the eye
aching with the affiuence of red and gold
A costume of camels hair, with Astrakhan
trimmings, jacket, jockey cap and muff OF
the latter material to match, was note
worthy because worn by Tom Ochiltree-ol
rather by his companion, the Baroness de
Rotchkoff. Another woman in beautiful
raiment was Judic, the French actress, in d
dress OF dark green imperial serge. A dainty
little wrap worn with this toilet was of
knotted bison cloth. lined with cardinal
satin and trimmed with cardinal velvet
Judic was in party of club men and
members of her company. She spoke in
French mostly, but once in while had a
go at English. The same innocent demure-
ness that characteriZes her acting was
shown in her manner here. Her. exploits
in our language gave her chance to be
piquant and amusing. She was disposed
to study the race-card and to ask its mean
ings.
Some of these queries relating to the diff
ferent words. indicating the racers sex and
SO forth, were unanswerable politely.
''Eef zay all mean horse, zen Wy don't
zay all spell horse?" she inquired, with the
air of a juvenile, and no tinge of blush
dyed her cheek. though the addressed chap
