An Indianapolis Troubadour.

A party of young men were out serc.
nading their loves the other night. The
hour was waxing late. They passed a
residence on Cherry street where a
y%oungster in an upper window was
screaming with all the strength of its ill.,
fantile lungs, and the "old man" was
pacing the floor, attempting to Iull the
household pride and JOY. The mother
was bestirring herself for some remedy
to quiet its colicky pains. Instantly one
of the mad wags Of the party threw
himself into troubadour attitude under
the window, and drumming the accom-
paniment on his guitar, with a clear
voice sang:

The other gown was a clinging, sleeveless,
pseudo-Hellenic robe, worn in honor of the

Did you ever see a man in poll COM

least on one occasion lately, at a crowded
tea. When the reception rooms are small
as often happens, and the red and white
wines have been handed about in siren til
and abundance, then eyes begin to brighten
and tongues to make a dreadful din. Girl
bayadoff, the Russian who interprets Yer

annoyance, while Mrs. Frank Leslie, whose
tones are uncommonly soft and pleasant for
a woman, has been heard to wall almost

me that she "must amuse herself for she
never understood what was goiag on"
1t was frivolous, of course, but leaning
over the banister one had an excellent
chance to observe and comment on the
gowns. The reader was not free from the
suspicion of attitudinizipg. She was a
sumptuous brunette, tall and full figure,
with warm flush touching her smooth
olive skin. AS she stood there declalmlng
the wrath of Prometheus the eyes OF many
students were bent on the lovely pink TINT
of the soft Indian silk of her skirts. 1t was
a very original gown. Untrimmed, scant
and clinging to give full effect to her motion
in gesticulation, it was only when sue
turned partly away from her eager audi
ence, lifting clenched hands against Zeus on
Olympus, that they could fully make out
the design. Fastened by large media lion
on either shoulder was square, shawl-llke
draperY of wonderfully soft and sheeny
brocade. Pink wild roses on ground OF
pale golden olive was the design, and the
mass of it hung free from the shoulder,
never touching the waist, down trailing
over the room. 1t lent something OF the
majesty of prophecies to the recitation
and yes, it is the fashion to pose. You
should see Fannie Edgar Thomas in white
gown fling herself on the flo r at the feet
of Ella Wheeler Wilcox in black, lay her
head in the lap Of the poetess Of passion and
make the most of her arms. Everybody
studies Delsarte and practices attitudes in
public these days. But to come back to the
gowns There's no better place to study
fashions than at the fashionable afternoon.

Nvw YORK. Feb. 23-Still another musi

tba banjo, the sentimental twang of the
o,itar, the zip zip of the mandolin weary
bar She no longer poses over the twenty
e;ght stringed either nor sways to and fro
across the harp. Sweet maiden lips have
ruckered for the shrill blare of the whistle
and now they pout to draw soft tones from
the breathing flute. It's matter of atti-
tudes. of new graces of motion for the yield
ing figure, of a new gown with dropping
sleeves to fall back from the warm round
arms The flute gown is rapidly establish
ing itself. Like two-thirds of the new de-
rartures in the dressmaker's art this winter
Il il A tea gown specialized. To puff the
cheeks prettily like Cupid's sister to show
the dimples, and not red-facedly like blus-
tering Boreas, ones gown must be pecu-
liarly devised The lungs must have room
and to spare to fill and empty, and there
must be no waist restraint sTo gasp would
do worse than ruin the flute notes, it would
make one ridiculous. To lift the arms and
hold them lifted the armholes must be gem
erous Not to confuse ones draperies with
all this up-stretching, the skirts must hang
in long, self-adjusting. breeze and air-sug-
costing folds. To seize properly on ones
ODD rtunity the sleeves must be wide, float

from under the n must start the white
Young arms. Take gauze or tissue, lace or
even light cashmere, deal with it as if you
had been thinking lately of Pompeian pipe
PLAYERS and you have the proper flute
gown.
It was worn by one of the first of the
girl flute players at one of those multiplied
afternoons" The young girls mother
sent out the invitations. Down in one cor
ner of the card was written techdS, moth
ing more, inquiring reader, than the alleged
native way of saying tea but it looks much
more diStingue than the every day English
word OF three letters. Everybody drank it

their bis Of lemon my young friend pro-
ceeded composedly to put together her flute
and to sta d up in her flute gown.
White silk crepe was the material to
which an undergown of rose color impaired
faint glow. At the waist the soft stuff
was gathered into very narrow pleats,
widening at the bust and in the lower part
of the straight skirt, where it formed deli
cate, cloudy veil. The sleeves were loose
and seamless open in the front all the way
up. A silver belt kept the folds at the waist
in position and there were broad silver
bands in the hair. Pinkish silk ockings
embroidered in silver thread appeared from
the midst of the Transparent draperies, and
the slippers on the slender feet might have
been sandals. No gloves were worn, for the
glory Of the flute gown is the bare arm. She
might have been Greek girl playing the
tuba, and as for her music, well, this is a

THE STATE CHARTER FACTORY.

A shower of charters for street railways
by this time must begin to suggest to the
public mind the cheerful Colonel Sellers and
his eye-water. The cable lines have made a
bushel of money for the proprietors-
SO far as constructed, dividends, not only in
cash, but on the bigger volumes of water
but it by no means follows that all is gold
which glitters, or that every new charter
runs along high road to fortune, as well as
to the suburbs.
As a matter of fact, while there are several
legitimate enterprises on the carpet in this
line, most of the charters contemplate oper-
alton contingent only upon various things
in the womb of futurity. Some are taken
out to wait until the city grows up to the
projected railroad. Others are gotten to help
existing lines, in the vain notion that the
fact of charter being out for given route
will scare off competition in that quarter.
The iberality OF the State authorities in
issuing charters would be astonishing if they
possessed of themselves intrinsic value; but
as, when forrailways, they are of no good until
the city grants right of way, it is easy to see
that not much is lost or made by the gener-
osity. They do not even block a grant of
city rights of way to an individual or to an
entirely different corporation for the same
street.
The shower of charters, therefore, which
Governor Beaver has lately been raining on
the heads of this community does not neces-
sarily mean any very productive addition to
the assets of the people in these parts.

GETTING ON FASTER.

According to Governor Beaver, every
thing is all right at Johnstown, and has
been all along. Meanwhile Treasurer
Thompson took hold yesterday and, with
less hired help and less red tape. shoveled
out the money to the benefciaries just twice
as rapidly as Judge Cummin had been
doing.
Governor Beaver is an optimist of the su-
perlatiye degree. 1t would be unjust not to
give him full credit for meaning we'll in
whatever he undertakes. Probably no one
means better. But he is largely possessed
of the idea that once he has settled on a
plan, it is the only right plan, and that
what he doesn't happen to include in his
first view don't exist.
In short, he is man not easy to lead
and about impossible to drive; and the mem
bers of the Pittsburg Relief Committee who
have been tugging at the halter need not
feel surprised that while they were getting
His Excellency few steps nearer speedy
distribution, he still seemed by his speeches
Wednesday to be heading in the same old
direction of delay, impossibility to go
faster, etc.
