George Gould.

There is no immediate prospect of
young George Gould marrying. He is
not paying serious attentions to any
young lady, and unless he happens to
get unexpectedly smitten there will be
nothing to interfere with his fathers
plans to make Spectator of him.
Georges going into the New York
Stock Board was his own idea. He
had been trading little through brok-
ers, and he wanted to see how it would
seem to execute orders himself He
says he likes quick trading, and has a
mind, as soon as he gets his hand in,
to become ''scalper' for the excite
ment of the thing. The second day
George was in the room a stranger
came up to him and spoke in an under
tone about some commonplace thing
Then the broker stepped out on the
floor and offered 1000 shares of stock
trifle under the market. He did that
to "gly'' young Gould by creating the
impression that the latter had declined
the stock. George got his back up at
once. He was not going to be made
butt of even if it did cost him some
thing. He wasted no time. He whis-
pered to another broker standing near
to take the stock for him, and the
trader was wofully disappointed at
having his offer grabbed up without
DELAY.

Lirfen Cnfrs and Collars,

The popularity of the tailor-made
suit has revived the prestige of linen
cuffs and collars; they are necessary to
its completion. All cloth suits are now
finished with a straight standing collar
or band, braided or finished to match
the bodice, and showing Just line of
white above its edge. The sleeves are
narrow at the wrists, and match the
collar in finish, the cuffs being narrow
and not more than half the depth Of
those formerly used. These narrow
styles are known as Jersey cuffs,
and are intended for narrow, close-fit-
ting coat sleeves; but they can be
turned or reversed, for wear at both
ends, each end having button-holes.
The long gloves are not a satisfactory
substitute for cuffs, partly because one
does not wear gloves indoors, and the
bare extent of the wrist, or lower arm,
revealed by the shortened sleeves, is
not neat or becoming. Sleeve buttons
are small and fat, plain pearl being as
good as any, and eollar-button is es-
sential; but some ladies prefer that
both should be of plain FURNISHED or
frosted gold. Both cuffs and collars
are perfectly straight in form and of
fine double linen simply stitched on the
edge The turned-down corners and
embroidered finish have almost disap-
peared from the styles approved by the
best authorities. -Den0reSt Monthly.

The Prince of w ales, now on tour
of Ireland, was treated to genuine
shindy by the Nationalist on his leaving
Dublin, mob forming in which stones,
sticks and brick-bats were freely used.
1t seems that no pains is being spared
to do the fair thing by his highness, and
he is so well pleased that he has tele-
graphed to London friends that he in
