rier Bobby, and Lizzie, the Australian
baboon at the Zoo had FIVE round scrap
in the cellar OF the monkey house yester
day afternoon. There were only two spec
tators, but the sight would have made the
blood Of sanguinary prize fighter freeze.
Lizzie, the bsboon, has been tied up in
a cage in the gloomy basement all winter.
In her loneliness she has had no other one
in whom to awaken interest except Bobby,
and her plan Of accomplishing this has
made some very thrilling experiences for
Bobby in that dark cellar. Every time he
whisked past her cage she reached for him
like lightning stroke from the clouds.
The discouforts Of life attending this made
Bobby miserable, and yesterday hs paid
the price Of peace by fighting it out to the
bitter end.
The contest was fought according to the
scientific rules OF the ring, and the baboon
got more points in spsrring in ten minutes

TEA GOWNS ON AND OFF THE STAGE.

Lent does not prevent such social gather
ings as afternoon teas. Indeed, they are
almost necessity to ladies who wish to
talk over church matters; 80 at this present
season the tea. gown is an indispensable
article to a complete wardrobe.
Handsome specimens in tlack or colored
velvet are lined with O pretty contrast in
satin and finished with hounce round the
edge of the skirt. A satin front from the
neck to the foot is partly covered by deli
cstely cascaded black lace, placed on each
side of the velvet robe. The back is long,
with full, outstanding plat, put in just
below the waist, with long loops and ends
of ribbons falling very long down each side.
A very stylish gown is trimmed with
creamy lace.
Tea gowns of satin with lace fronts and
trimmings are very dainty, while cashmere
or yelling lined with sstin or sursh and
timmed with lace and tlots Of satin ribbon
make dressy models.
A very rich gown can be made at a
small cost if lady has q lace point OF
aounce. A stylish shape is the Princess
cut with advanced plaits at the back, just
below the waist. Tea gowns are among
the necessities Of the wardrobe of woman
of society, and the two worn last week BY
Miss Louisa Thorndyke and Miss Bancroft
in The Jill are widely commented On

EASTER FASHIONS.

A Vague Idea of what May be Expected
Stylish and ugly" are terms which Nc
longer apply to the dressing Of the young
woman Of the period. This seasons fash
ms are both graceful and elegant. A new
feature in dressmaking is the very high
darts, which give the appearance ola long
slender waist. Some Of the dressmakers
are adopting the laced front, which is coE-
sidered becoming to all figures. 1t is q
very good style for plain wool dresses.
Most of the imported dresses are made
with very high dog collars Of velvet which
is lined with stiff buckram, and generally
close on the left side with q dainty bow Of
ribbon. The coat sleeve which fits smooth
ly from srmhole to wrist and it finished
with cuffs is seen on street dresses. Sleeves
for house dresses are made three-quarters
long, or reaching Just below the elbow
Some of them have an inserted Y on top OF
fancy material matching the piece at the
neck.
The fault Of the popular styles is that
they are indiscriminate. The beauty Of
high tashion-that is, OF those models which
represent the taste and intelligence of an
experienced and cultivated clsss--is that
each one is adapted to o special purpose
and has had thought and care bestowed
upon its every detail. One of the best tastes
of quality today is color. All the old, soft,
lovely shades of color resppear and are put
together in exquisite combinations without
forming any startling contrasts. These
colors are fast--fsst in cotton as well as
silk-but it is hard to describe them or to
make the uhinitiated appreciate their value
Sent to q distance from the business
centres-where women generally have q
better opportunity for education in color
the receiver ia very apt to think she has
been imposed upon; and that odd goods
have been sent to her instead of new. The
difficulty in describing them hes in the uni.
versal insccuracy OF the use Of terms; and
the putting of the natural vocabulary to
artificial uses. Thus, there is lovely,
new green-s quiet, grassy shade-which
combines with gray, but is no more like
what we are accustomed TO call grass
green" than the green o: the paper shade
is like that of the dark ground myrtle. All
the different shades Of sandstone and gray
some, bark brown, old "stone" blue and
tinted white appear in the finer materials,
such as chuddsh cloths and pure Indian
cashneres the former being equally fine,
but having the csmers hair finish.

LoTTA's WAY.
How the Popular Little Actress Avoids
the aPublic Gaze.

Atlaaid C0aJIitEfi0a.
On the stage Lolita face would indicate
that Its owner was sixteen-year old school
girl, while of the stage its make up
creates an impression that she is fully forty,
and probably sha is more than that, al,
though her age is said to be thirty-eight.
Ii is . rare thing that sunlight ever casts q
glow upon her cheeks, and when it does q
pane OF window glass stands between face
and sunlight 1t fact she may be put
down as theatrical dollhouse plant.
When out Of doors she rides in close
carriage and peeps out of the windows,
lodging behind q curtain if she describes
any one looking ct her, and when in 8
hotel she often hides her face with q veil
and wears kid gloves, particularly if she is
where she can be seen By the guests Of the
house. Years ago shs usually took her
meals in her room, but recently she ven.
lures to 90 into the dining room for them,
being careful, however. before leaving her
room to see that her face is heavily vsilsd
and her hands thoroughly protected from
view By a pair OF kids. 1t is given out by
her friends that Lolita hides her face to
avoid the annoyance of being gszsd at by
the public generally, aud that she hides
her petite fingers in q pair Of st gloves for
the same purpose.
knowing ones, however say that the
reason of her taking the precsution to hide
her face and hsnds from the public view
when she is of the stage, is because both
are badly freckled, and her face shows ua-
mistsksble signs Of advancing years.
When her face is made up for the stage
the freckles are hid away under heavy
coating Of powder, and the marks on her
face are obliteratsd in the same way.
Friday morning, while the breakfast room
of the Kimbsll was pretty well filed with
late risers, Lolita entered the room at q
rapid walk and hastily threw herself into q
seat q table in the corner of the room as
far ss possible fIom the bright light of day
that came in through the windows. She
wore hat and her face was heavily yelled
while her hands were covered with a pair
of brown kids to match the color of the
veil. When her bresktss. was placed be-
fore her, she put eeremoy behind hsr and
at once commenced to make it disappear
in a style that showed that her appetite
was keen aud anxious TO be satisfied. Her
unusual makeup for dining hall attracted
the attention of every guest in the room,
aud inquiries were passed around as to
who the mysterious creature was. The head
waiter was in demand. aud from him it
was learned that the new arrival was Lotta,

with the other she lifted her veil until II

the steak disappeared from view the veil

of chewing could not be seen. In this way
she made her breakfast, and when she bad
finished, she left the room 50 rapidly that

from limb to hmb.

THE HANGING GARDENS :
The G ceatest Marvel of Ancient Babylon
aud Their Origin.
lnnlh'S E0npnniJn.


The hanging gardens of Babylon were
one o! the seven wonders of the world and
truly, il we can Judge anything By the re.
mains of them which still exist, they well
deserved o place among the marvels OF the
olden time,
The story of their origin is an interest,
ing one. 1t is said that their once lived
great Assyrian king, of vast wealth and
power, who WAS devotedly attached to his
wife. Everything that she asked OF him he
was wont 10 grant The moment that she
formed wish it was gratihed
Now this fair queen came from one OF
the most beautiful valleys Of Persia, in
which she was born and reared. She had
been accustomed 10 live amid the most ro-
mantle scenery, 10 delight in avenues OF
trees and banks Of flowers.
But Babylon was a dull place, and
around it were nothing but bare fields and
dreAry heaths.
So the queen, though she had every lux
ury which money could bring, tired OF the
undressing views from her palace win
dows, aud remembering the lovely scenes
of her childhood, she Fined for them and
begged the king to make for her o garden
which should remind her of her native val
ley. 49,,
The king FASTENED to crafty her; and
setting an army of lsbcrers, some OF them
he called from Persis, TO work, IN the
course Of time the wilderness about Baby
lon was converted into the magnificent
hanging gardens.
Ihev were constructed on the sides OF
some slopiug hills not far from the royal
palace. OF course, as they were intended
for the pleasure OF the queen, they must be
made on the most splendid scale. Vast
ness was the ancient idea of msgnihcencee
Not long ago the royal palace at NlnVen
was explored. and found to cover q space
larger than that covered by Boston Com
