Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-08-31

the brown mole upon her spine showed out
eight inches below the nape of her neck,
though it were button made to hold the of
her dress together. And diamonds! She had
them and she wore them regardless iof expense,
age, or appearance. Her fat, pudgy hands
blaZed with them. The Iohes CT her old ears
were drawn down by them, and on the top OF
her black wig there was an ornament fit to take
place in the crown of queen. As we rode up
wards she looked in the glass which forms the
walls OF the elevator and began to primp, and

not put such agony and Sinking into the oper-
alton. look of absolute horror came into her
face as she caught sight of the gray lock peep
ing out of her wig, and she tucked it back and
Strengthened her curls.
Another old woman who is conspicuously
ugly in her eItravagant jewels is rs short as
this old giantess is tall. She stops at the Uni
ted States hotel. 1 measured her with my eye
to-day, She is, believe, four feet across the
shoulders and she can't be more than five feet
high. Her arms big around the
thighs of her dude-liEe son of twenty who
rolls. She wears black satin dress trimmed
with very costly old lace and cut very low.
This dress fits so tightly that il shines like
patent leather and you fear it will crack as you
look at it. Her diamonds are supposed to be
worth SlO1, 900 and she wears $50, QUO worth of =
night. She always has crowd about her, and
she seems to be as popular she is fat. She
makes her pretty daughters stand in the back
ground, and see the tendency to keep our girls
back the English girls ere steadily increasing.
The girls here are outdressed and outshone by
their mothers, and the mothers aud the grand
mothers have the most expensive wardrobes.
The biggest of the diamonds are on married
women. and many of these show that they
started life poor and are now making up out OF
the fortunes that their husbands have made for
their lack of opportunity to spend when they
were young.
You can have little idea OF the immense sums
of money which spent in watering places
sands of men here with their families who are
spending hundreds of dollars q day. The Grand
Union hotel, you know, was given up by Judge
Hilton to the Stewart estate not long ago. He
said at the time to a friend of mine that he was
glad to get rid of it, and was there asked If it
did not pay. 81 can take it and make sl5O, 600
year, - was his reply, and when you think that
this profit must ali be made in about six or eight
weeks, you see what an immense income Sar-
atoga hotel must have. There are %, 600 stran-
gers in Saratoga to-day, and this at the mod
crate rate of So per day would foot up $780,,
600 spent here tor eating alone every twenty
four hours. But this is a small part of the ex-
carriages and their blooded horses, and you
will see as fine turnouts here every afternoon as
anywhere in the world. took = drive out to
the lake this afternoon and found myself passed
by steeds fine enough to grace the Arabian sta
bies of the sultan. The fashionable turnout has
changed. The banging Of the tails of the
horses has extended to the banging of the
names, and the sverags swell horse OF Sara
togo is q spirited three-minute trotter whose
name aud tail are trimmed close and who is
driven without a check rein. did not see
check rein on a single fine turnout, and it Is
now imperative that good horse should hold
MP his head for himself. One of the finest turn
outs Is that of Miss Gorosini, the daughter of
Jaw GouId's old partner and the sister Of the
girl " no married the coachman. saw her this
afternoon, but her father sat on the drag beside
her and the fine looking coachman behind was
on a lower seat with his face turned the other
way. There no danger OF this girl making q
similar sensation. She is pretty blonde, but
she has very level head and she can handle
herself rs well AZ her horses. And that is say
ing good deal. This afternoon she drove three
sl,irited horses tandem through that maize OF
carriages, guiding them by set OF snow-white
lines which ran from her little hands from horse
to horse. Sometimes she drives only two tan

MEN WHO WEAR DIAMONDS.
Returning to Saratoga extravaganza, notice
that = hundred men wear diamonds now to the
one who wore them year ago. Every other
man you meet here hss one or more diamonds
on him, and there are great many swells VINO
wear diamond rings. / saw 4 tall, lean. forid-
faced man from Texas flirting his hands about
morning, and there were three diamond rings on
the hand that held the glass. His necktie, OF
white satin, had scarf pin Of . diamond and q
dax-blue sapphire, and this WAS pulled down so
as to show an immense solitaire, which served
as = collar button. I saw q boy OF ten this
morning with three diamond studs serving as
buttons for his shirt, and see girls who are in
