The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-10-12

means uncommon one among New York
fashionable girls who live a draining and
depressing life Of festivity. A case came
under my oil servation a short time ago that
was peculiarly startling. IL was that OF q
girl who began during her first season "a

ton of mind and body necessary 70 cops
with the exhausting customs that she y as
forced to adopt At first she took quinine
in small doses, but, finding no real excite
ment in this. she went on to port wine,
sherry, and a ally 70 whisky aud brandy.

For two seasons this girl held her place
well, and her facial loveliness exp essed but
slightly the effect Of the feverish life she
was leading Then she seemed to fall of.
\ She grew fat, but. at the same tine, pale,
unhealthy deafness overspread her cOunte-
nance. and every body remarked concerning

One morning had occasion to call on her
! brother at a somewhat early hour, and as /

along the nall on her way upstairs bearing
| on a tray a whisky cocktail. At the same
instant shrill, impatient voice came from
above.
"Marie! Mariel For heavens sake hurry
with that cocktail or I shall shake myself
TO pieces Hurry, say"
IL was her voice. About a half hour
later she came down and l chattei nc
ment with her. Her hands were trembling,
and her swollen eyes were shifting aud
bloodshot.
That was two years ago. The girl is dead
now.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt will be the
envy of all the other society women in
town during the coming season by reason of
her suberb carriage horses and her prize
coachman. She first saw the horses in
Paris last June, when they were the prop
erty OF Mr.. Thorne, rich banker. He
refused to part with them when Mrs. Van
derblits agents then applied. but he finally
relented when he learned how she longed
Tor them. and he sold the pair for $4,000.

pronounced the most beautifully matched
pair OF horses ever sseR. They present

finest horses in Paris. Mrs. Vandsr bilt de-
tsrmined to lure away the finest coachman.
She made libsral offers to Guillot, the favor

cepted them. So Mrs. Vanderbilt will dis

beauty, style and perfection ia every way,
has never been seen here.
Close bonnets continue in favor for dressy
occasions. Here Is one of hsliotrope velvet
cap-snaped, almost crownless and entirely
brimless. Folds of the velvet rise to be-
coming hight above the face, to which the
narrow ties made iato a butterfly bow di-
recdy under the chin lead youthful full
ness. Long leaves in gold galoon are the
only ornaments upon this bonnet, which the
English would call "smars." q
Dress sleeves have quite departed from
the monotony that characterized them last
season. The lower part from elbow 10
wrist, is invariably close fitting. and very
often this tigatness continued almost to the
shoulder. Ihs puff that meets it is of in
finite variety. It Is small, large or medium,
according t the figure for which the dress
it adorns is destined. In its most aggressive
form, the pub reaches half way up the
shoulders to the neck, but this is not often

Collars are higher than ever. The upper

Clean cut and taut is the highest campli-
