'The neglige shirt will be worn more than
ever the coming SUMNER" said an Avenue
haberdasber "Fine English flannel will be the
leading material, probably, but it will be pressed
closely for first place by Madras cloth and
cheviot. Silk and mixture of silk and wool
will also be worn to considerable extent. The
trouble with the silk shirts is that they don't
hold their color as well as the other materials.
The colors are apt to run In silk when it is
washed"
"Any reduction In prices from last year?"
"There may be little They will range from
$1.50 to 81, with $3.50 as the average price for
first quality goods. The patterns of the goods
will be quiet, and the colors bright but not
loud. At least, those that are offered here will
be of this kind, for Washington men as a rule
conservative dressers. They won't adopt
loud or conspicuous styles in any sort of wear
ing apparel. They are much more quiet in their
tastes than New York. They say number of
our clothing merchants have discovered this In
a way they don't like this winter. 1t seems
that last fall the cloth manufacturers put on the
market few trouserngs that were not very pro-
nounced in pattern we'll as color. There was
nothing for the dealers to do but to take these
goods, but their Washington customers would
not have them Even the dealers in ready

GLOW about hats?'
"The novelty will be the Alpine,' which is
already worn great deal in black, in pearl and
other light shades The sAlpine is the soft hat
with a crease in the crown and rolling brm
1t isn't pretty hat but it's stylish, and that's
the point after all with men as well with
women. 1t looked rather queer at first, after
the universal prevalence of the Derby for so
many years, and the men who wore the first of
them in town had great deal of courage But
now they have become so common that we
think them natty-looking.
"'The stylish thing in straw" the gentleman
continued, ''will be the square yachting hats.
The principal novelty about them will be the
colors, which are very quiet and beautiful
shades of brown and bluish-green or greensh-
blue. The latter tint is called Scotch heather
"The Gordon belt" the dealer continued, in
answer to further questions, sis another nov
city that is likely to have big run in connec-
tion with the neglige shirt It is intended to
take the place of the sash which few men have
worn for couple of seasons, but which most
men objected to on account of its being little
too much like piece of woman's wear The
Gordon,belt is made up in imitation Of the sash.
1t is broad and pleated in front. narrowing at
the back, where there is buckle 1t will COM
plete the neglge costume for summer very
nicely and will not have the hanging ends to

trouble with the narrower belts has always been
that they slipped up and down, exposing the

necessity with them. They must refrain from
using intoxicants II they wish to remain long in
their business. There are not many startling
events take place in the lives Of variety actor.
His life is made up chiefly Of hard work, quar-
rels, and petty jealousies. Contention is gen.
orally the rule behind the scenes in most thea
tres" and the snake man gave vent to weary
sigh.
'Wbat are the average salaries paid these
actors ?N the reporter asked.
The average is from S12 to 500 week for
single performer. Some who have an excep-
tionally unique novelty receive as high as $40
per week, and some S25 and $50. Many of them
are married, and man and his wife travelling
together, appearing In some little act of their
own, can earn from $25 to $50 per week"
"What become Of them when they leave the
variety stage?'
''Some OF them drift into various kinds of
business, and few find positions with legiti-
mate companies. Many of them become min
strels Variety actors are not very long lived,
as rule"
"And the women, what become of themF'

married to actors find husbands in men of the

TEMPERANCE PUNCH.
Refreshing but Not Exhilaratinr

From the Baltimore American.
Bethany punch is the name by which society
designates lemonade, when served at the resi-
dence of the Postmaster General, to whose
honor be 1t said that he has had the courage and
manliness to stick to his principles as expound-
ed at the outset OF his official career, and to
persevere in the line of conduct on the occa-
sion of public dinners and receptions as out
lined at the start For all the CAV world makes
merry over the dispensing OF Bethany punch it
has proved very refreshing compound and
the elimination of the punch bowl from Wash
ington receptions is something for which the
public generally has great cause for thankful
ness. To those conyersant with the true in
wardness of things 1t has long been matter of
wonderment that the fashionable world, SO
progressive in other things, has not long ago
progressed to higher standard in this matter.
Whatever may be asserted to the contrary, tip
pling in polite society-not alone among the
men, but with the matrons and young girls
has been alarmingly on the increase, and it is
high time that a halt has been called in the
matter. That halt has been called is in no
way better evidenced than by the fact that at
none of the Cabinet houses is punch now
served. On Cabinet days at the Vice Presi-
dents those who are desirous of slaking their
thirst may do so with tea, coffee, chocolate, or
cafe irappe, but should anything more bTacing
be required the visitor must seek it elsewhere.
indianapolis punch, served at the residence
OF the Attorney General, is a refreshing COM
pinauoh OF the JUICE OF crahDerrles, raspDerrles,
lemons, ice, and sugar, made after recipe
which Mrs. Miller guards with jealous care.
Like any other reform or movement Of any mo-
ment, this substitution of non-intoxicant com.
pounds for the insidious puuch-bowl is likely to
be slow, and at the outset in direct opposition
OF those who set themselves up as wiseacres on
the subject But society, which takes its cue
from the customs of each administration, will
soon learn to conform to popular opinion in the
matter, and the desired result will be obtained,
Tor there is nothing which so quickly kills any
fashion of aggressive unpopularity.

Stole Her Bonnet PIumes.

From the N. Y. Evening World.
Not long ago heard one lady say to another,
writes q correspondent of the Chicago NelrS:
"If ever you buy hat or bonnet at any of
these London shops be sure to carry it away
with you forif you leave it to be sent the trades
people will steal off some of the plumes or other
ornaments and keep them for sale to other Gus
toners. All the tradesmen in London will do
that" Upon inquiry learned that the speaker
had had sorry experience at one of the most
fashionable ladies' furnishing shops in the city.
Paying for handsome bonnet, she ordered it
sent to her home. When it arrived she found
it had been plucked of its finest plume. On
other occasions, in other shops, she had met
with similar experience. There was no restitu-
tion; her complaints and expostuations were
simply sneered at, The average London trades
man, groyeling though he may be in his at
tentions to you while he has you in his tolls,
does not seem to care to retain your patronage;
he skins you at once, and, having got your
money, it is "thank you-good day" forever,

banking institutions of the country, and make
its stock gilt-edged investment. The name
OF Mr.. Lacey, the present Comptroller of the Cur
rency, has been suggested, but 1t is not believed
tion. Mr.. John X. Mclean, who is the largest
stockholder, has also been mentioned, and, to-
gether with Col. NJ. NJ. Parker, A. +. Fox, Esq,
and Others, it will be seen that the bank has no
lack of good material to draw from.

Owing to the fact that hitherto there has not
been a vice president at the Bank Of the Repub-
lie, 1t has been the practice for DR.. Daniel b.
Clarke, the president, to designate some member
of the board of directors to represent him when
he was unavoidably absent from business. At
meeting of the directors on Wednesday, how
ever, it was decided to elect vice president of
the bank, and the unanimous choice was eX-
Marshal A. A. Wilson, Of this city. 1t has fire.
quently devolved upon Mr. Wilson to represent
DR.. Clarke, so that he is perfectly familiar with
his duties at the bank.
The daily press have already recorded the
successful opening OF the new Lincoln Bank,
and the fact that their deposits for the "opening
day'' were close on to two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and their first days business
representing over three hundred thousand dol
lars. The stock was called on the Stock Ex-
change on Tuesday with bid of $5l and no
offerings under $5S. Later in the week it ad
vanced to $54 bid and no stock in sight. 1t is
known that quite number of shares have been
traded in since the stock was first issued, on
the 18th of February, the prices paid ranging
from 50 to $40 premium. The officers Of this
bank are active, energetic workers, and have
determined to make it a success, and already
announce that it has surpassed their expecta-
tions. With the growth of Washington comes
the need Of increased banking facilities, and the
Lincoln proposes to do its part.

The holders Of Electric Light bonds were
made more than happy when, on going to
change them into stock on the 25th instant, in
order to participate in the quarterly dividends,
recently raised to 8 per cent, they learned that
they would also receive the accumulated inter
est on the bonds in addition to the dividends,
thus giving them the neat little dividend of 3!
per cent. for the quarter ending on the 31st,
and making the stock therefore the most profit
able return in the District.

There are whispers of some lively skirmishing
at the forthcoming election in one Of our local
insurance companies, with view to a change
in the personnel of the board, it being under
stood that certain large holders have announced
their willingness to vote for new deal. The
recent large purchases of stock would seem to
give color to the report, and the Developments
are eagerly awaited by those in interest.
