and when one after another found her
self under the influence it was not because
she had a taste for liquor or wanted to drink
too much-it was just because the juleps
and mashes tasted weak and good
and innocent, and SO the girls were
led into drinking too many. Well, /
but there are pretty well authenticated
rumors that on one night one Of the
girls took to sliding down the balustrades.
., IL was shocking, though innocent
enough Worse yet. on another night two
or the sweetest young women, l am told,
who ever were known, grew a little over
heated. quarTeled, and actually threatened
to fight like men. We wouldn't have
been surprised to see them rolling
over and over on the floor, ard going
to their homes In cabs literally in rags.
One is the teacher Of a Bible class In o
church near Central park, and the other is
a first graduate of Vassar. More than half
than half the girls grew ashamed and
frightened, and the Sub Rosa lost caste
among Its own members, so that only
about half the quota continued TO go there.
In this strait, when things were just
ABOUT To BE MESDED
by the prohibition of all beverages except
lemonade, ginger pop and cider, tea and
milk. something far more shocking took
place-scmething far more paralyzing;
indeed. it did paralyze society. Miss
Jennie Lafarge las I have called
herr was observed to be Just about living at
the club house. One never could go
there, it is said, without finding her there,
nor could any outstay her. Then there
were whispers that she and James Butt had
been seen to exchange glances- Indeed.
there was a story that the silly girl was
caught being kissed py the lmpudent
Butts, but no one paid any attention to
the tale, because it was told by a
dowdyishly dressed, pert miss OF
family no one knows. Besides she did not
pay her dues. But it must have been true,
for one day the steward was missing, aud
while all the girls were in the parlor that
evening, having a musicale, q carriage
ratified up to the door and in came Miss La
FARCE leading James Butts by the hand.
Girls, congratulate me" she said: this
is my husband. He and l were engaged
when he lived at my home. My people
suspected our sentiments and dismissed
him, and SO | had him come here, and
and-now shall have him TO myself for
all time"
Well, did you eTerl
nerve enough for the occasion.
Ladies" said she. ''if these persons pro-
pose to stay here another moment, OF course
we must go to our homes"
The bride and groom said they proposed
to stay, and so the girls went home, and the
Sub Rosa club house has never been opened
since. So ends the tale; and if it is all i'm
aginery-as L confess, now that / have led
you to read it thoughts just about what
would happen If girls should indulge in
club life.
TO RESUME WITH FASHIONS.
The price Of bridal underwear or trosseau
proper may be small or large. Underwear
of all kinds is exceedingly cheap at pres
ent. The extreme OF extravaganza in this
day of unlimited expenditure by a part
OF our people is perhaps nowhere
better illustrated than in the fine
underwear and lingerie kept con-
stantly in stock by our leading houses.
Some OF the garments look as il woven for
the fairy princeSses OF the olden time, when
fairies wOve and spun for favored mortal

Very fine torchon and Smyrna laces, and
the open, snowy Medicis laces, are the most
