Says New York letter to the Hartford
Times: "The round, low-necked bodice,
with its short, plain epaulet-like sleeve,
which has been seen for the past two WIN
tiers, is about as ugly and commonplace a
mode as stupidity could invent, and 1t owes
its continued existence only to the obsti-
nate adherence to traditions of Queen Vic
toria. II the Princess of Wales ever be-
comes the first lady in England this hide
Gus yestlge of near past will receive its
congo. The high bodice, square pointed,
filled in, outlined or smoothly shaped over
fine bust and sloping waist is capable of so
much more variation and affords so many
new resources that 1t is surprising American
women will lend themselves to the perpetu-
alton Of so foolish and limited mode. The
only explanation Of 1t is that they feel
obliged to wear out in America the clothes
they have ordered for high society purposes

How Rich Wen Eat.

"Few rich men know how to live,n said
Colonel Tom Ochiltree to a New York cor
respondent the other night, as he finished
dish Of terrapin and tackled a canvas-back
duck in the cozy room of the Carleton Club.
"Of all the wealthy men ever knew, John
w. Mackay, the bonanza king, is the best
diner. Every day while here In New York
he has six plates spread in private dining
room in the Hoffman House, and friends
who drop in are invited to partake of that
which does their hearts good. suppose
Mr. Mackay spends from $50 to 800 every
day for his evening meal, and it is as fine as
can be procured Next to him comes
Robert Garrett. lie knows how to cat, aud
can order as fine a meal for as reasonable a
price as any man ] ever knew. Levi p.
Morton is also n remarkably good liver. lie
gives the touch Of great style to his meal,
and in Paris kept a table more noted for Its
deicaces than any other, perhaps, except
Rotbschid's. Vanderbilt lived like
laborer, fed on coarse food, and never knew
anything about the charm of the dinner
table. He rarely had friends around his
board and ate his meals without much zest.
Jay Gould was the most envlous man at the
table ever saw. He eats little of every
thing, and seems to have no idea Of meal
except to get 1t down rs quickly as possible
Just think Of 1t, have seen him eat griddle-
cake with molasses ON IL with his fish, and
do many other equally absurd things. The
dinner-tablc is the place where the cares of
life should be laid aside and digestion given
chance by chat and long waits between the
courses. A man who shovels his food in
almost always has dyspepsia. Most rich
men have SO long made the dinner-table
simply waiting place for food and water,
like stage station along the roadside, that
when they have the means to buy good
meal they have lost the capacity to enjoy it.

unterest i'm Art Circles.

- The inclemency of the weather prevented
the large attendance.!of art connoisseurs that
would otherwise have been present at the
Scott Gallery art sale at Willard Hall last
night AS II was there was spirited con-
test for the rare works on exhibition, the
best judges vieing with one another for the
excellent Hogarths and Stuarts placed ON
exhibition. One Reynolds in particular at
tracted sharp contest. Although some
excellent sales were made, yet the collection
is so large that not even the cream was
taken last night. This evening at S o'clock
the Washington people will have another
opportunity to secure some specimens OF
art, which, 1t can be safely said, they will
never again have the chance to obtain.
