Clara Bellies New York Letter
April and May are months for fashion
able dinners in New York city. This
Is a season betwiXt the balls and recep-
tions Of winter and the outdoor sports
of summer, and swell people use the
time in feaSting and being Toasted. The
custom of a combination between a
number of hOSteSSeS to simultaneously
give dinners and afterward assemble
their guests in one hall for a dance is
being followed to a considerable eX-
tent. There is hardly a private estab-
llshment in New York capable of feed
ing in an elaborate manner more than
that is undertaken the cooks and SerVi-
tors have to be called in from some of
the big restaurants. That is not con-
Sidered entirely desirable. If one de-
SireS to impress her friends with her
ability to provide for them at table, she
takes pride in using only the resources
of her own home. Thus the scheme of
combining number of SmalliSh dinner
parties in one large dancing party
works very well indeed. And it serves
to give the guests the very best beyer-
ages and viands that the market af-
fords, because they are bound to dis
tcuSS- when brought tOSGun6r, the re-
pasts which they have previously en-
jOyed. Thus
SPIRIT OF COMPETITION
is aroused, and | suppose that no finer
banquetS were ever given anywhere
than those which are the outcome of this
particular usage.
In recent letter I spoke of the new
fashion Of wearing bonnets at luncheon
parties. Now, new idea is foryoung
women to dress in simple attire for even
ing dinners. They used to array them
selves as richly and deliberately as for
balls, but this spring they have taken
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-05-06

to wearing white muslin at table. With
the sleeveless, low and very tight bod
ices formerly worn, the actual eating
and drinking by belle was necessarily
minute indeed. and she was tortured by
the appetiZing sight of edibleS which
she had no room for, no matter how
craving her appetive. But now she
may cover herself to her neck and
wrists in waist easy enough to permit
a reasonable amount of eating and
drinking. The pictures which accom-
pany this account give three actual
dresses drawn exactly as worn at dinner
parties. 1t will be seen that, although
simple enough, they are
QUITE ATTRACTIVE.
However, there are still women in
our fashionable society who do not like
to depend upon muslin for dress adorn-
ment, and who appear at the current
dinners in very elaborate gowns. L
saw one the other evening which was
beauty in pale shade of green yicuna,
the bodice being cut in very smart
and original fashion. 1t is arranged to
open in front over vest of pale salmon
pink cloth. which in its turn is hidden
10y a complete and tight-fitting under
bodice of olive-green velvet. At the
sides the bodice Is cut with loose fronts
of cloth, under which bordering of
green velvet is visible, as well as
narrow edging of SalmOn-pink cloth.
The cuffs are of olive velvet edged
with pale pink, and the same effective
combination is carried out in the skirt,
where the draperleS of pale green cloth
are arranged to open on either side to
show wide panels of olive-green velvet,
bordered with pale pink to correspond.
AT an afternoon reception in Fifth

TASTEFUL AND ELEGANT DRESS.
The skirt was made of plain gray pean
de sole, with train, and was adorned
with embroidery of SpangleS and steel
in Greek figures. The front and sleeves
OF the cOrsage were embroidered in
steel. i broad sash of very pale rose
water silk, tied in large bow, hung
down behind.
The glOves-for it is now fashionable
for ladies to wear kids on their recep-
ton days-Were of gray pean de Suede.
The knot of braided hair. which was
worn on the very crown of the head,
was fastened by a large number of
small, light-cOiored tortoise shell pins.
On the same occasion one of the guests
wore a dark. moSS-green plush redin-
cote. In the back, on the shoulders,
and in front were large figures in dark
braid and green beads. This is very
useful garment, as there is no necessity
TO be particular about the dress under
meath it, for it is quite hidden from
view. a sableskin boa was thrown
gracefully around the visitors neck.
On her head was a small bonnet of
plush covered with beads and of the
same tint as the cloak, the space be-
tween the top of the bonnet and the
hair beng filled i'll with sky-blue Grape.
Instead OF an aigrette there was an Or
nament on one side of the bonnet. and
on the top was fastened the head of a
lophOphOr with its own aigrette

he whole, exceedingly pretty; but

indecent it is to display bust and back
absolutely devoid of covering, or Gov
cred partially in such way that the
suggestion is worse than the reality
But the corsages (what there is of them)
are certainly pretty, the pointed decol-
letage (when not too low being the pref
test of all and most becoming. Then
the draped berthe crossing in front is so
exceedingly graceful! For quite young
girls lovely ball corsages are made of
soft white silk or crepe de Chine, the
low oval neck finely tucked or plated
fine vertical tuckS about two and half
inches long, the fullneSS of which is al
lowed to puff out free below. AT the
waist is laced corSelet or Swiss belt of
fine faille or broad belt of white rib
bon. There is something very girlish
and attractive in these cOrsages, and
they make the neck look its best. They
are generally sleeveless. Pretty as they
are, they can hardly be recommended
for ladies over one and twenty.

Jarbeau's Black Pearl

A Philadelphia News reporter relates
several stories told to him by Will S.
Rising, the tenor, who was in that city
with Jarbeau in starlight"
Miss Jarbeau had the bad fortune
Just before the company reached De-
catur, ILL.,, says the News reporter, to
lose a valuable black pearl. The after
noon after the gem was lost Rising and
MIR. Bernstein, manager of the COM
pany, were walking in the streets of
Decatur. AS they strolled along they
saw little darky. about three feet
short, twirling broom-handle in imi-
tation of drum major, in most
marvellous manner. This ragged young
ster spun the stick over his head, be-
hind his back, under one leg, and then
the other-all the time with a rotary
motion and with great speed. ''Come
here" said Bernstein.
The boy came.
''How would you like to do that in the
theater?''
"What, boss?'
''Spin that stick"
II couldn't"
''Why?"
"Never done it, boss"
A little talking convinced the darby
that he could. His parents agreed,
when visited, to allow him to travel
with the company.
q Rising and Bernstein, taking their
prOtege with them. went back to the
hotel. As they met Miss Jarbeau, Rising
said:
1--WE found you black pearl"
A little cry of joy was cut short as
Rising pointed to the boy, saying
There it iS.''
