morning, noon, anu night. Their dress at
breakfast was more elaborate lhall many
ladies' would wear AT the most select of
evening receptions. One was blonde,
with large blue eyes, II iair complexion,
regular features, ana very slim, we'll
turned figure. The other was dark,
migh-compleNi9ned brunette, whose spark
ing eyes Indicated passionate tenn
peramcnt ami, possibly, high temper.
She was Of medium height, and
what might be called an eXuberant
figure, disciplined ana restrained by the
cliirass work OF the modern dressmakcr.
These ladies We're so rcSplcndcnt IN their
lavish display of dress and diamonds that
lney attracted a great deal ol attention.
They had been absent from Saratoga for two
Years when they appeared last summer.
Their husbands lad Tailed ia business dur
ing mat period. Last season they had
caught on TO the skirts oi fortune again.
AS the diamond pair were absent from
saratoga thls season, II Is evident that the
husbands nave gone under again. The
Saratoga handicap was too much Tor them,
as they were nevcrablc to make enough to
come to Saratoga themselves,
Speaking OF diamonds recalls the Tact
that some OF the young children here wear
them ut the stited ANA precociOus hot
house parties given in the name of chill
dren. You never see any children at These
parties. They are simply dwarf young
men and women. i saw the other night n
little spindle-shanked girl, who could not
Lave been over I'D years OF age, who was
dressed in the most elaborate OF lace even
ing dresses. She wore pair OF quite
heavy earrings ana several valuable rings,
which were displayed as she langudly
Tanned herself win nh expensive ostrich
feather ian. She might have been quite Il
pretty child II she hal been appropriately
dressed, but us II was she was simply an OBJ
Ject OF pity Tor healthy minds. The dark
circles about her baby eyes, and the physi-
cal poverty of her narrow chest, marked
her as a future invalid, developed by the
unwholesome life encouraged and per-
mitted by Griminally Ignorant and careless
parents. There are few so-callcd watering
places where children have any chance.
They should he out In the country where
they can run free, storing up physical life
and vigor Tor the future. AS knowledge OF
the best method OF education increnses'c 'chll-
dren are treated with more AMI more
nationality. IL was only the other day that
