are seen, but can never become generally
popular.
Roman lamps on an antique stand furnish
the very latest illumination in milady's
hallway. a .
Small clocks that play some familiar tune
every hour are among the holiday goods now

still in demand and, of course, is promptly
made to order.
Fine pillows are now carried by some rail-
way travellers, who make it rule to sleep
half the journey.
Some of the imported India shawl wraps
are lined with fur, which means they are to
be worn all winter
No gentleman who would be properly
dressed tolerates black braid down the side

Silver picture frames, instead OF gilt, are
increasing in favor, and several are seen at

Amber holders and handles for champagne
bottles are Partisan wrinkle some Ameri
cans have brought over
Lion, tiger, leopard and other animal rugs
are seen in greater variety than ever, and
since Barnums fire may possibly be a trihe
cheaper.
1t is TO be noted that the wearing Of wigs
| is growing in favor among the women Of
Vanity Fair, with some of whom it may be a
necessity.
Some gentlemen have revived the fob for
evening dress, and the jewellers have put
| forth some new designs described as quiet
| and elegant"
| 1t looks now as if buttoned shoes for men
| had had their day, and that the laced foot
wear would obtain more extensively even
| than heretofore.
| The Derby hat is by no means crowded out
of fashionable sight by the square top affair,
to which the middle aged man can scarcely
| reconcile himself.
| Mems collars are high again and open
about half an inch in front. 1t is announced
that it is intended they should be seen above

Everybody knows that the prince hardly
ever gets up before noon, unless he has to at
tend an important parliamentary meeting.
But it must be remembered that he only goes
to bed after working till 2 a. m. every night.
In the chancellors bedroom light is kept
burning all the night, numbers of messages,
often requiring his personal attention, being
brought in during the night In considera-
ton of the late hours kept by the prince. sup
per is served late in the evening and seldom
finished before midnight. Besides the Pr1n-
cess Bismarck Count and Countess Rantzan
partake of almost every meal, regularly
leaving the palace at 10:45 p. m, when
second class cab always takes them
home. Bismarck's birthday is always
great feast and holiday for the serv-
ants of the house. In the kitchen barrel of
wine is provided by Princess Bismarck, two
bands are in attendance, and the servants
families appear on the scene. The prince
comes down, talks with the guests and dis
tributes sweets among the children. The
pleasant relations between master and
servant are also evident from the fact that
the princess always gives six Easter eggs to
each of tha servants.
The domestic police of the prince consists
of sergeant and eight constables. If the
prince is away from home four constables go
with him and four remain at the house, and
all of them are entitled to arrest any suspi-
cious person, be it at Berlin, at Friedrichs-
ruhe or at Varzin. 1t was at Varzin where
Bislnarck'd large dog Sultan was poisoned.
The princess declared at the time that she
would me- Ike provision for life for any one
who could point out the poisoner. Sultan
was more Intelligent than Tyras, but Tyras
is the more faithful of the two, and will take
food out of the hand of any member of
Prince b. marck's family, but never from q
servant, as one of the footmen has learned to
his regret-German Paper.

The lining thief is, believe, positively the
latest exploiter in the realm Of crime. This
is the man who trades hats with you in the
barber shop, in the sleeper car, and outside
the hotel dining room. The mere act of ex-
change is a trick old enough in itself, but
with the Oldest adroitness OF the lining thief
it becomes very tantalizing sort of mean

or more Innings which he has pulled out of
old and rusty hats, and by a clever juggle
slips them, as occasion offers, into the prop

though you may seem to think you
