covered with pompadour silk, the edge
finished with ruffls or uncs of the same

with her escort after the curtain was up.
and So ept down to her seat like a duchess
! going to court. She was dres ed in a pearl
! gray gown, trimmed WITH silver, and a
! long train rustled behind her. Her neck

brought ridIcule upon her. Shesat directly
in front of a well-known young fellow, who
had been dining heartily aud was IN
somewhat frolicsome condition of mind.
He fixed his ewes upon the stretch of bare
neck, and for matter OF fifteen minutes
he studied it with the utmost care. Then
he drew a card from his pocket and wrote
in plain letters upon it the words:
drop a nickel and see the est of the girl
come OUT
Attaching this carefully to the edge of
the corsage by means Of pin, the young
man sat contentedly back in his chair,
folded his arms and procee led to enjoy The
sage performance. When the cort as
sisted the young woman with her wrap at
the end of the play, his eyes ca ight sight
of the inscription. 1t caused his neck to
swell with indignation until it seemed as
though he must fall dead from apopleXy.
The mischievpus young man behind, how
ever, was busy at this time recognizing the
situation of a thoroughbred girl a short
distance away, and was crOwding forward
to exchange verbal greeting with her. The
escort attempted to chew the end of bis
small mustache. but finding it too short. he
allowed his rage to fade by slow degrees

Brussels lace is costing less than it did
formerly, despite new tariff legislation, be-
cause the flowers or "sprigs' are now sewn
on ground of tulle Instead of one made by
hand, writes ''Fedelina" in the New York
Saturday ReUieU. This process has not
benefited the designs, of course, yet never
the less much Ct the new lace, both that
made with the bobbins, ''feurs en- plat"
aud that made with the needle. ''feurs en-
point" is very beautiful. The
among Americans, and 1T is a worthy pas
sion. Talking of iaces, the lace butterfly is
favorite form for tuo.e exquisite fabrics
now, and it Is to become yet more popular
as the season advances. Lacs butterflies
are on bodices and catch up draperies of
evening dresses. They are worn on the
shoulder, in the puffings of a skirt ruche, or
the gathe ing of 1)unce, or wherever
they are most unexpected and SO calculated
to confer piquancy on the costume. Some
of these are mounted on the slenderest in~
visible wires.
Almost every girl who is going to be mar
ried this autumn has declared that her good
luck came from her wearing her yellow
ever since last Easter day. The suDersti-
tions about bride are innumerable Every
body knows that she should be followed by
the shower of rice that brings plenty, and
by the slipper that brings good luck; that
the salt must not be spilled, or else ruin and
unhappiueSs will follow aud that she must
wear something old and something new,
something borrowed and something blue" if
she wishes to retain the affections of the
man she loves

orally known. In the west of England 1t is
said that evil fortune and much sickness
VIII come to the bride who, in undressing,
fails to throw away every pin in her bridal
clothes. and that the i'll luck will attach
itself to the bridesmaid who takes even one
| Of these fatal Plus, cutting her off from all
| hopes of matrimony until after the next
| Wnit-Sunday. An opposite idea prevails
| in another part of England, where the pins
are all taken from the brides vestments
and eagerly seized by her single friends, it
| beng believed that the poss 4ssion OF one of
the pins will insure a husbsnd before the
year is out Ii the bride resist, the pins
are taken from her by force. AS pins are
too pointed to bring good luck, the bride
who throws away tue pins will be the wise
one.

However, she answers all practical purposes.

one of the boys during promenade through
the conservatory, to cry out:

the dressing-room, and she might see you!"

gloves, white slippers, white roses; but all
this affectation of simplicity is looked upon

twice engaged before she is brought out by
her dear, good parent.
