THE LATEST FADs IN LIVERY.
The etiquette Of livery is most carefully
considered, and smart tsiior his told me
the latest, which is worn, by the by, on
this blue brougham. All winter long tie

very cold days are the furs permissible,

the capes having very nigh collars, while
the rug must be sufficiently large to cover

THE MODERN GIRL AND TERRAPIN.
The fetching girl is nothing if not
iu6gs of q good dinner, and where she

the hirt3to1 of the fsn, size is now per
ftcsly az cOUTrGm as o what cOnstitot2s
the perfection OF dinner. She wisely dis
eliminates between those VINO feed nnd
those who eat, aud ste can decide as to
menu while man IS wondering what in
the world she would ike TO eat. Chicken,
ices. and tea are no longer her IDEAL lun-
eheops. and On elaborate arrangement OF
iced creams and sponge cake does not ap-
peal 10 her half az much as fac bit OF
cheese, or a perfectly flesh, properly broiled
mushroom. Don't imagine by tits that she
ia any more material than she wa7 she is
simply healthier, and it Is much better for
her TO regard Bfillat-SivsriD as hero than
it would he 70 idealize one Of the young
men OF to day. A girl l know told me that
she had really gained some knowledge IN
Christmas week: che had 1t rted out to

THE TERRAPIN IN BALTIMORE.
She wisely began at Del's; heEe the ter

it wa7 that all the little tgg4 could not be
real one. From New York she sought

the sauce was not thick enough, and there

it was terrEpin that need a wineglsssiul OF

great chefs, it was served on plates as cold

had plenty of wine in it; it was served
hot and wi, h hot dishes. 1t mad no pre-
