One of the greatest social innovations
the current season is the revival Of the
old time supper party. The return OF
this hospitable old entertainment IS based
upon good and sufficient grounds.
Teas" make an announcement break into
the afternoon hours, dinners, unless they
be saved exceptionally late, wholly de-
stroy the evening without altogether
filing it. Supper appears TO be the
pleasing cross between the two, and the
entertainment having found favor with
our English cousins will not be long as
sorting itself on this side Of the pond.
The prevailing London supper is "A sub
stantial repast, if not a lengthy one; the
courses are limited to three or four, and
include a light soup patties, cut
lets and a few daiDtlly prepared
vegetables, followed by Sweets" and
'%'cafenoir," SO il will be seen that the re
established supper is really a moderate
dinner. 1t is served at an hour to euahic
the guests to attend the theatre or opera
at its finish. 1t must be remembered,
however, that at the majority Of the
London theatres, the play proper Of the
evening begins a full hour later than with
us, it being preceded, usually by a farce,
or, as a little American girl once re-
marked, after attending "a London theatre,
They play the after piece first" The
outcome Of these supper parties is that
the English modistcs are in~YentiDg what
they call supper costumes. a description
of al imported model may serve TO Illus
traie the idea. A short skirt OF heavy
white broadcloth is wrought with thick
gold braid around the bottom, into heavy
arabesque patterns. Drapcd over il. in
long loose folds, but displaying amply
the braided o~rnamentation. is a deep
gold colored ''drap d'hiycr' of
exquisite quality. The winter cloth
forms the bodice, which is cut short over
the hips, and which is finished. back and
front, with deep points. A narrow gold
passementerie defines the edge, while the
front opens from the throat, Over a tight
fitting vest of white cloth, embroidered
TO correspond with the skirt, in gold
braid. In London "Miiadi' would at
tca1 the theatre unbonnettcd; but as here,
the custom il seldom initiated, a dainty
bonnet would be required with which TO
complete the evening programme. Ap-
propriate would be a capote OF white felt
trimmed with gold tinted plush, stranded
with deepening gold tints, and sur
mounted with an iridescent aiGrctte.-

New York Telegram: "I'm afraid that
a great many diamonds and other precious
stones are brought into the country with
out payment of duty thereon" said
Captain Isaac Trimble, the veteran as
sistant custodian of the seizure room in
the custom service, at this place. The
tricks resoried to by the smugglers are
numerous and some Of them pretty cute.
1t is a very common device to sew gems
in the lining Of clothing, conceal them in
the soles of boots and shoes, and under
the bottoms Of trunks
Whats the cutest trick ever detected
by the ~inspectorsI' was asked Of Captain
Trimble.
II guess it was the Bible trick" he re-
piled. lone day about ten years ago an
old man who came over in a German
steamer had a Bible in his trunk. There
was nothing peculiar in the outward APP
p%earance of the book; and the inspector
would not have given it the second
thought, but IA he tossed it back into the
trunk there was a rafting noise inside.
He picked il up again and opened the
covers, when he found that an oblong
space had been cut into the leaves, form
ing 3 box in which were concealed sew
eral thousand dollars worth Of dia-
monds.'
Another smuggler sought to cheat
Uncle Sam by concealing diamonds in
a set of artificial teeth. Concealing
precious stones in a walking stick is such
an old device that it is seldom rcsorted
TO by smugglers nowadays.

that his was the lucky number he
at once deposited his ticket in the Ger
man bank, and through that institution
Clayton collected his money. In less than
a week after his prize had been drawn,
Sl5, 900 had been placed to Mr.. Clayton's
credit by the Louisiana State Lottery
company in the German bank.
AT o on yesterday Mr.. Clayton, accom-
panied by his pretty young wife andlittle
child, lett for Owcnsboro, and fro II there
will go To Mclean county to enter into
business connection with his father-in law,
Plummer Nolan. Mr.. Nolan is a wealthy
resident of that county, and young Clay
ton will take one of his farms. A part
nership will he formed, and with the Sl5,-
600 won in the Louisiana State Lottery
the firm will be given a good mercantile
start. Mr.. Clayton and his father-in-law
will open q general merchandise store at
Beech Grove, and will buy tobacco on a
large scale. Several years ago Clayton
was in the commission business and pur.
chased tobacco in the country for several
large firms in this city.-Louisville, Ky,
