Perils of Society Girls.

Gail Hamilton
"What are society's perils for young women?"
just asked ''society girl" and she said: ''In
Washington, lack of men," For girls this is
true. There are plenty Of men in Washington.
Perhaps in no city in the United States is So
ciety worth SO much while as in Washington
because many distinguished men gather
there. In no party do you fail to see groups
any one member of which would be worth max
ing feast for in other cities But the distin-
guished men of Washington scarcely come at
an earlier period than their early middle life
They are in Washington because they have al
ready won more or less eminence. They are
past the uncertainty, the hesitancy, the I'M
reality of life and are bent on definite pur-
suits. The young men, the natural mates for
the girls are in other cities and districts, prac-
ticing law, learning to edit newspapers, can
tering over cattle ranches, preaching sermons
to young women and probably making poor
fist of it, exploring mines, earning money win
ming fame. BY and by they will come to WASH
ington. but in that day our girls will not be
girls any more. A few of these young men are
in Washington, but very few, hardly CROUCH to
go around. Consequently, girl who goes into
society encounters the peril of not finding
many stimulating minds among her younger
comrades. And there are perils of O'Clock
teas, ruinous to Digestion and always the peril
of confounding the cakes and candies Of life
with its roast beef Society" is so fascinating
that girls are in danger of forgetting that it is
refreshment and rest, not steady work.

A House for Harvard Astronomers.

From the Boston Transcript.
There is on exhibition at Worcester porta-
BILE house, to be used by the Harvard astro-
nomical party in their South American expedi-
ton. The building is made of heavy paper
and canvas, sheets being stretched upon a
frame Of pine scantling three-quarters Of an
inch wide and half an inch thick. 1t is built
in small sections, so that it can be easily and
cheaply transported. The building when
ready for occupancy is 1Sx22 feet, with 8-foot
posts, and covered with third pitch hip roof,
thus raising the center OF the roof about IA
feet above the floor. The top is surmounted
by handsome galvanized iron cupola, in
the center of which is a large pipe, which
can be used as stove funnel in cold weather
The cupola is made in movable sections for the
purpose of affording ventilation. The Sec
tions are worked with chains, and can be reg
ulated as the occupant wishes. The building
is divided into three rooms, and is lighted by
six large windows, and has two entrances. one
on either side. The building will be taken
down, packed, and shipped to New York, where
it will be shipped to Peru, South America, as
soon as the necessary arrangements can be
made with the Peruvian government to allow
it to pass through the custom-house in bond
This is the largest paper house that the Wor-
cester company has ever constructed.

OLD.TIsIE SUPPER PARTIES.
An English Custom Which is Finding
Favor i'm This Country.

FROM Table Talk
One of the greatest social innovations of the
current season is the revival of the old-time
supper party. The return Of this hospitable
old entertainment is based upon good and suf-
fcient grounds. ''Teas'' make an incou(e-
nient break into the afternoon hours; dinners,
unless they be served exceptionally late,
wholly destroy the evening without altogether
filling 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 asserting itself on this side of
the pond. The prevailing London supper is a
substantial repast, if not lengthy one; the
courses are limited to three or four, and in
clude light soup, patties, outlets and a few
daintily-prepared vegetables, followed by
'sweets" and ''cafe-noir," SO it will be seen
crate dinner. 1t is served at an hour to enable
the guests to attend the theater or opera at its
finish. 1t must be remembered, however, that
at the majority of the London theaters, the
play proper of the evening begins q full hour
later than with us; it being preceded, usually,
by farce, or, little American girl once re-
marked, after attending London theater:
"They played the after-piece first
The outcome OF these supper parties is that
the English modistes are inventing what they
imported model may serve to illustrate the
idea. A short skirt of heavy white broadcloth
is wrought with thick gold braid around the
bottom, into heavy arabesque patterns. Draped
over it, in long loose folds, but displaying
amply the braided ornamentation, is deep
gold-colored ''drap d'hiver" of exquisite quail
ity. The winter CLOTH forms the bodice,
which is cut short over the hips, and which is
finished both 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 'Miladi" would attend the theater un-
bonneted; but as here the custom is seldom
initiated. dainty bonnet would be required,
with which to complete the evenings pro-
gram. Appropriate would be capote of white
felt, trimmed with gold-tnted plush, stranded
with deepening gold tints and surmounted
with an iridescent aigrette

Curious PRAYER Meeting.


ALL NEWSPAPER COMPOSING ROOMS ARE NOT
ABSOLUTELY BAD.
From the Chicago Mail.
The composition room of a Chicago morning
daily is not the most ordinary place for a prayer
meeting to be held, and the regulation compos-
itor would not, as rule, be suspected of taking
an active part, yet it is a fact that such meet
ings are held in the composition-room of one
of the leading morning papers in Chicago. !
sometimes visit in the Office referred to. A
few nights ago, while lounging around the
makeup table, heard this question put by
one of the employees to the makeup man:
'Going to stay to prayer-meeting tonight,
Tom?' The man Of whom the question was
asked told me that they frequently had an i'm
promptu meeting after the Zig" was up.
"Who leads?" l asked.
"Jake, the copy-cutter. 1t usually lasts
about twenty minutes. and some of the boys
are deeply interested"
As the Zig" was almost up-which means
| that the copy was about all off the hooks and
the forms nearly ready for the stereotypers-
| concluded to wait and attend the meeting,
| which must confess, although of the most un-
| pretentious style, was exceedingly interesting.
The prayer meeting, however, was not held, as
! 1t was decided on this particular night to have
a Bible discussion instead. A short PRAYER was
offered, a chapter read from the Bible, and
| then came remarks from various ones of the
| seven or eight who were interested enough to
remain and attend the meeting.
Now, know that newspaper Offices cannot
boast first-class reputation for piety, but since
| my experience at this little gathering have
come to the conclusion that there are some
| places IN Chicago more closely allied with the
church that might be a great deal worse
| have attended various churches, sat in richly
upholstered pews, and listened to very instruc-
| tive discourses from learned preachers; but
am positive that the impression left upon ME
after attending this little typo gathering took a
| frmer grip and has lasted longer than the i'm
| prints Of all the sermons combined that ever
heard preached from richly furnished pulpit
Sitting in the little copy-room on a chair with
| no back and but three sound legs, listened to
words coming from a man whom / had never
before suspected Of giving thought to his
maker

A coh1CAL INCIDENT OF THE LATE SECTIONAL
DIFFICULTY IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.
From the Youths Companion.
The truth of the following comical war story
is vouched for by its narrator, John Esten
Cooke. A body of federal cavalry had ap-
preached very near the confederate lines, and
two or three of them who had gone out to for
age came to cabin in the woods, and after
careful accommodating raped at the door. A
negro woman answered the knock and seemed
very much disturbed at the sight of the blue
coats
I'VE want some supper"
Eyes. sir.
But first is there anybody here?"
NO, SIR"
'Are you sure?'
''Oh, they amt nobody here but me-'cept
-
Except who?'
''Only Col Mosby, SIR"
'.Col. Mosby! ~ exclaimed the speaker, with
at least three exclamation points to his accent,
and getting hastily into his saddle
Are you joking?" he added. You'd better
not Is Col. Mosby here?''
''Yes, sir, stammered the woman in great
terror, and at the same moment q low noise,
like that produced by the footsteps of man,
was heard inside.
No sooner did the men hear this than thew
turned their horses heads and galloped of TO
their command, where great excitement at
Is was necessary to act with caution. Mosby's
desperate courage was well known. and he
would make all the stouter resistance because
he was sure to be hanged to the first tree il
he were captured as '.bushwhacker" and an
outlaw. Elaborate preparations were made,
the cabin surrounded, and the door suddenly
burst open. Men rushed in with cooked pistols.
But no rebel was to be found
Where is Mosby?" Numbered the officer.
=, ''oh, there he is, was the trembling reply Of
the woman.
''Where?'
There" and the woman pointed to the
cradle.
What do you mean?"
''Oh, sir! / don't meant didn't mean moth.
IN! call him 'MOsby,' sir-'Col Mosby,' sir
that's his name. sir.
Awaiting her doom she stood trembling before
the intruders. They, on their part, looked
from the woman to the baby sucking away al
his thumb, scowled, growled, took another
look, saw that the old woman had told the
truth, then they burst out laughing, took tc
their horses and were soon out Of sight.

Ran on With His Convert.

REvIvALIsr M'coMB CONVERTS MISS YOUNG AND
THEN MARRIEs HER.
From the New York Sun.
The gossips in Flushing are having an excit-
ing time discussing the secret marriage of
Evangelist E. w. McComb to Miss Lizzie
Young, wealthy girl Of the village. The
story became generally known yesterday. Two
months ago McComb arrived in Flushing and
began a series Of revival meetings at Is Main
street. Miss Young was one of his converts.
and two weeks ago was consecrated in the faith
The meetings were very successful, and the
people of the town gave McComb much en-
enlargement. It was not noticed, however,
that Miss Young was falling in love with the
preacher On Sunday she told her parents
that she was going to marry him. They pro-
tested, but she promptly informed them that
she was of age. They warned the ministers in
the town not to perform the ceremony. The
couple visited several clergymen, but they all
refused to act The young coaple met yester-
day afternoon and went to Corona, where they
were married. Mr.. McComb conducted the
revival meeting in the Tabernacle last night,
His wife was on the platform with his other
converts
