Mount Carmel ConroA.

We had the pleasure of attending
the closing exercises Of the school
at Mount Carmel Con7ent on Thurs.
day, the 18th instant. From the
standing of tie good Sisters in
charge, both as to personal character
and intelligence. VIC knew there was
q trea: in store for all who are inter:
ested in the training of the coming
women Of our parish; but we must
say that our expectations were more
than realized. The pupils, from their
ready answers and aptitude in each
branch putstied, showed not only
patient training and competent skill
on the part Of their instructors, but
also o hearty concurrence in all the
duties required of them, which is to
be attained only by patient labor
modified by a sincere love and deep
seated interest in the tender beings
intrusted to their care. Everything
was SO excellent that it is hardly
necessary to mention any branch in
particular, but We must be allow to
say a word in praise Of the music.
We will only add that the skill dis.
played by our young friends was
truly astonishing, and will doubtless
b. q source of pleasure for years to
come. The comedy, in one act; was
we'll and admirably rendered, each
participant In the play doing full
Justice in their respective part.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph


Some one has been interviewing the fash
ionable dressmakers as to the number of
gowns the swell society women buy during
the year. The number is placed, on the
average, at 100. These gowns vary in price
from $50 to $500. There are instances
when ball dresses have reached 81 900 and
more, but these are not the common figu es.
There are 100 or 200 women who have, as a
usual thing, this number of toilets at the
prices quoted. They are all married women,
of course. The dresses of the swell society
girls are quite simple, as a rule. That is
the aristOcratic style.
