TWO SMART BALL DRESSES.
one a Dream of Red Roses and tI
 nthon u XI.ton i'm Tulla

one a Dream of Rea Roses and the
 Other a Vision In Tulle.
 Paris Letter to the London World.l
 Rich red roses, large roses and clusters of little roses, with buds and foliage, are put on the very edge of the dress all round with out any rufHe of tulle, in such manner that it looks as If the wearer had been wandering in rose garden and had swept @ quantity of fallen flowers on to her trailing skirt. The dress is of apple green silk, with 0 single yelling of brown tulle, which goes right over the roses. The skirt is quite simple and the low bodice very elaborate. It is of the green silk, with the light tulle tulled on to it; the neck has a rich piece of gold lace turned down all around it. Then there Is an arrangement of ribbons, which appears to me to savor of the miraculous. A broad dark green moire ribbon, edged on each side with salmon color, is drawn tightly around the figure. 1t passes under each arm and comes to the neck of the bodice both in front and behind. How this is drawn tight by the bodice being worn defes the ordinary intelligence, but so it is, and the wearer looks ss if tied into the dress, especially as another similar ribbon is knotted around the waist. On the shoulders are high puffed sleeves of the brown julie, and above these, higher still, row of upstanding bows of the green and yellow ribbon.
 Oae more evening gown I must describe, which to me is glorious in color. The dress is all of 8 pure dafodil yellow silk, yelled with tu1le of the same shade. A full tulle ruffie goes all round the skirt, and on it lies a wreath of the loveliest velvet pansies- great rich pansies of every shade that grow in pansy petals-but with the heliotropes and violets predsminating. All the rest of the dress is the full yellow, except for the waist ribbon, matched to the heIiotrope tint in the pansies, and on to one long end of which hangs little empire pocket decked with pansies, and for piece of tulle of the same heliotrope, caught by it's middle, under the ribbon band at the back of the waist, taken straight up to each shoulder, and from there allowed to fly loose like little wings.

SOME DIPLOMATIC RomANoEs.
Are Worth E1e adfng.

From the Chicago Tribune
 Many diplomats have recently welded
 Americans. A few years ago, however,
 there was even a greater eagernsss to wed
 American girls. One Del Campo of the
 Chilian Legation agled earnestly and widely
 for an American girl with fortune. He
 was rogue and kept the city in an uprosr
 by his sprees. After an unusually impas-
 stoned appeal to q Washington girl he was
 recalled, and returning by way of Panama he wrote a letter to her, purporting to come from friend, describing in vivid language an account of the rejected Del Campo's death | by the dread fever of the topics. His obit- uary was done up by himself in goed shape. | The girl was still lamenting her coldness to | the sensitive SoutherHsr when she heard l from the Chiliau who took her lovsr's place ! that sthe former attache of the Chilian Le- I gation was now attaohe of horse car in the ! Chilian capital.
 l The modern romanoes of American girls 1 and foreign noblemen cannot match the alli- l ance of forty years ago-the famous marriage of the old Count de Bodiseo, the Russian 1 Minister, and Miss Harriet Williams, the | Georgetown beauty. He was old and de- | crepit. It is said that he wore "plum- pers'' in his cheeks and dressed his poor, 1 broken old form so that he looked like a man of 40 after he saw the beautiful school 1 girl at her fathers house in Georgetown. 1 For she was schoolgirl-only IA when he married her. He sent her to Europe to 6n- l ish her education, and when she came back l she was the most beautiful woman in Ameri- ca. A magnificent, fair woman, with golden l hair and brown eyes, was this young wife | of the old Count de Bodisco. After leaving l here her husband returned to Russia, and | she became the reigning belle of St. Peters, | burg.
 More pathetic than this story, for it was surely pathetic for girl of II to marry a man of 70, was the story of her sister, Miss Fannie Williams. At the time Count de l Bodisco was Minister he had with him as | attaches two nephews of the same name. who in his last hours he acknowledged as | his illegitimate sons. One of these nephews l leved the sister of his incomparable aunt. | The Count de Bodisco claimed that the Russian law forbade such an intermarriage, I and the two were separated She went to l St. Petersburg with her beautiful sister, be- came engaged to @ Russian nobleman, and l on the eve of her marriage was found dead,
 with the ivory miniature of her first lover in | her hand. The tales of the old days are hest

Unfair Criticism.

AOAA1 oSAA-"i
 The New York Journal of Commerce, an old-time hater of the Consolidated road, makes the present legislative fight here an occasion to pitch in with renewed savageness. It's feelings go so far as to mako it say that, even among friends, the Consolidated road has no defenders, and that the attitude of the road toward the public is everywhere condemned. This is too unfair for even so cordial hatred as the Journal of Commerce has the reputation of cultivating. The fact is that the Consolidated road does serve the public we'll. Its trains are faster, better, more numerous than ever before. People tell time by them, they run so regularly. The road-b bed is smooth, the cars new and the service efficient. No one caa ride upon its trains without realizing that he is on a first-clsss road. The New England has also improved vastly in recent years, and all the roads in the State are better than they ever were before. But, MT. Clark, who is now president of the Consolidated, is fully con- scieus of the opportunity that it has, and, under his management, it has grown vastly in capacity and popular favor.

dressed seemed to pay no attention to them. Nevertheless, he turned about a moment ais terward, hastened his steps, and got on a Twenty-third street car that was tending to- ! ward Sixth avenue. He kept his eye on the sidewalk, however, and when the car had gone half block past the little man with the black beard he jumped of, ran to the sidewalk and walked rapidly up the street to meet him.
 "Why, how are you, Mr. Suckersona" he
 said, "When did you leave oshkoshp The little black bearded man seemed a trife surprised, but impressed with the ap- pearance of the other.
 "I left Oshkosh several days ago." he said "but you will pardon me if fail to remem- Der you"
 "What! don't you remember mei" Pm the boy you used to know as little Tom Bun co, the son of John G. Bunco, president of the First National bank of Oshkosh"
 s'Why, of course remember you now" |"
 said the little black bearded man, shaking
 the others hand heartily. "How are your
 father and mother.'
 ssThey were doing quite nicely when I ger gentleman; "but have you anything par- ticular on hand for this mornings l have just won valuable oil painting in lottery and would like to have you take look at 1t. '' The little black bearded man happened to have nothing on hand for that morning, and he readily accompanied his newly found friend to a rather shabby building in East Tenth street.
 Here several more well dressed young men were found and game of cards was pro- posed. The son of the Oshkosh banker had soon won several hundred dollars, and the
 little man with the black beard was regard
 ing the players with much eagerness depict
 ed on his countenance when @ further nice
 young man entered the room. So soon as he
 caught sight of the little black bearded man
 he threw up his hands and screamed:
 "Great heavens, boys! Run for your lives! That's Jay Gould!'
 A vail of anguish rose to the ceiling, and Tom Bunco and his friends made desperate effort to escape.
 Five minutes afterward their watches and pocketbooks were in Jay Gould's possession; mortgage had been foreclosed on the build ing; the stove and furniture removed under a writ of execution, the books and cards sold for waste paper, and the little man with the black beard was on the way to Baxter street with the clothes of Mir.

From Life.
 Cautiously enoug h it was at this season of the year when New York is throDged by vis- itors, most of them merchants who were in the great metropolis to purchase business supplies for the winter, that carelessly dressed, undersized and slender man, wear ing black beard, looked carefully over the register of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and then walked down the broard corridor to the street, gazsd about him as If undecided which way to turn, and finally wandered of rather aimlessly in the direction of the Twenty-third street elevated station.
 A young gentleman attired in the height of fashion was sauntering slowly toward the hotel at the same time. His air was diss tingue and his features bore that impress of nonchalant repose that characterizes the well bred man of the world. He had hardly passed the carelessly dressed little man when a third person hurried by and whispered in the ear of the fashionably attired gentleman.
