the club, and its membership was confined
to thirty unmarried girls able to foot the
bills, and pledged to secrecy about certain
parts of the program, for the carrying out
of which the club was formed. i wish you
could have seen the parlors of that club

heighth. The furniture was all covered
with the most delicate shade Of blue in
plush. and relieved with bows and scarfs of
orange satin and blue. Old gold, orange
and yellow gold were the dominant colOrs
in all toe ornaments and bric-a- brac. The
sweetly feminine members came always in
their neatest and nobbiest costumes. Here

The marriage of another of Sir John Mil
lais' lovely daughters, who has made a
business match, would have been an
''event" in the most brilliant London sea-
son; happening, as it has done. at a dull
time of the year, the affair has given rise to
as much conversation as the change of gov
eminent in France and the crisis in the
East. Oddly enough, strangers will proba-

Only the mother of the bride could supply
the answer. guess that artists were not.

An Overdre.sed society Lady.

from WaShingtOn Society Letter.
Speaking of morals reminds me that one
OF the ladies of the diplomatic corps Is caus-
ing great deal Of talk by her immodesty
in dressing. and at public gathering re-
Gently she appeared in costume which. if
it had bean worn anywhere else, would have
caused the interference of the police. She
is young and beautiful and her reputation is
unstained, but even in Washington society,
which tOlerates almost everything she can
not go much farther without losing the
respect OF decent people. She has always
been noted for an ambition TO exhibit the
charms with which bountiful nature has
endowed her, and the artistic perfection Of
her figure is as well known as the Wash
ington monument but her dresses have
been cut shorter and shorter at the top, and
wound more closely around her as the sea-
son has grown, until she might az well wear
nothing at all.
On the occasion referred tn she appeared
in pink-tinted silk which lifted her so per
fectly that one who looked at her from
across the room could not distinguish where
the fabric ended and the flesh began. There
wasn't rufie or wrinkle from her corsage
to her train, and not the slightest ornament
except bunch of roses at her waist of the
same tint as her neck and dress. The
corsage was laced at her back, what there
was or 1t, but from her chin to her waist 1t
was one unbroken line, and as she faced
you she looked exactly like a nude statue
Of pink mermaid. Her skirts were as
tight as her corsage. and every outline was
as distinct as undraped nature itself. OF
course she made sensation. and suppose
that was what she wanted. She couldn't
have caused more talk if she had appeared
In fesh-colored tights.
