A Novel Fish Dinner for Lent

NEW YORK, April 20.-A fish dinner has been
the fashionable novelty Of last week. It had
numerous predecessors during Lent at res
taurant where, in fancy or reality, the chef is
wonderously expert in cooking fish. It has been
quite the fashion to get up parties to dine at this
place, where astoundingly high prices helped the
exclusiveness of the indulgence The feasts
have been curiosities of cuisine and cost but this
one is regarded as a climax Not only was the
menu unique, but also was the costume Of
one of the bellies who graced the occasion. The
private dining room was turned into a bower Of
bright green, with seaweeds in profusion, and
quaint embellishments of shells, while borrowed
pictures of pisciculture and water completed the
aquatic decoration. However, it was in one of
the elaborate toilets that clever conceit was
most remarkably carried out The wearer was
a pretty girl belonging to distinguished family.
Her hair was loosened and embellished with sea
grass: a necklace and bracelets were pearls and
coral, the sleeveless and low-cut corsage was
delicate pink satin, shading off into the green of
draperies fashioned in artistic stimulation of a
mermaid's lower half. The scaliness of fish
was initiated by means of bead work, the skirt
was narrow. and short train was shaped like
the tail OF fish. The design had been realized
by famous man dressmaker, but the girl got
credit for the original idea, and is consequently
famous socially.

Law and Order Leagues.

The most wholesome and reassuring sign Of
the times is the formation of law and order
leagues in the Southwest to try conclusions with
the Knights of Labor. Such a league has been
formed at Sedalia, No., perfect hot-bed of the
Martin Irons type of knight-errantry The Se
dalia league has sent word to Mr.. Hoxie that he
need give himself no further pains to insure the
protection of life and property there-that they
will be responsible for such protection hereafter.
Similar leagues are forming in Texas, where
they are very much needed. There is room for
one at East st. Louis and for another at Kansas
City. In short there are very few places not
strictly agricultural where they will not be
