Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt was IN q box at
the Nadison-Square Theatre last Saturday
evening. Mrs. Vanderbilt is a pretty wo-
man at any time, but she looked like
onoen in a bookn that night. Her dress
was of white cashmere trimmed with bands
Of ostrich feathers. Her opera cape was
thrown away from her pretty shoulders
and in its place was softly laid bow Of
cream white plumes. Her fan was also OF
feathers and dainty white BIRD nestled IN
her hair Hers was the beauty OF young
womanhood.
Down at Long Branch the very next day
I got q glimpse at picture OF fair. sweet
rirlhood. Did you ever drive out toward
Norwood? If you have you know that at
this season Of the year there are lots OF
wild cherries rlpe. Some of the very
incest must. of course, DO on the other side
of the fence, so q body can't get them. 10
was after these my girl was gong ana
saw her just as she poised on the TOP ran;
Then she swung the other foot over and
there was mOmentary CLEAN OF cream
hose and red leather ties, hutter OF
cambric and lace, and she was among the
cherries with cheeks their own color.
From where / sat she looked like Miss
Birdie O'Neil. and she wore a dress like
hers, but then l may have been mistaken.
REPLYING TO LETTER or PROPOSAL.
There's girl on Madison avenue who is
n heart-broken wretch. She saws she
never will smile again and | believe her
Never is a week. Her misery Is all along
of a man. The same old story.
It wasn't moro than three weeks ago
that they roamed through sweet country
lanes arm in arm IN the moonlight ana nc
filed her ears with that sweet trash which
lovers VOWS are made Of And when they
separated there were promises, OF daily
letters and eternal fidelity and all that sort
of thing, and now, within month, comes
letter:
come up this fall. You see the pater Il
hard mp and wants me 70 marry girl
down here who's got lots OF tin. ~ course
she isn't half as nice as you, and don't
love her bit, but what's fellow 70 do.
Well try and be sensible about it, won't
we? Reeretfullv, Fred
Sensible Well. from the way she
scowled when she twisted that letter up

rubbish. Then she'll put on her prettiest
gown and go out for a new conquest.

been there q few weeks, but rumor SAWS al

Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts says she is not
going 20 marry the Baron; that If she
wished TO got married-which she don't
but if she did, she can find men IN her
own country plenty good enough; that
she doesn't propose TO have her money
used q la Marlborough for mending
roofs, nor a la Pappenheim for run
ming Dutch brewery. She further says,
this LOYAL little American, that so far
the international marriages have re-
suited only for the benefit Of the
foreigners, and that she would rather
marry a man without a name than a
name without n man. Good for her. |
wish she'd come back here and open q
school for the PRONUNCIATION OF her ideas.
Think of Chauncey Depew going 70 dinner
ut the invitation Of the Prince OF Wales
and paying his own bill! What II New
Yorker were TO treat Mir. Depew that wav I?
But in this case it is all right, and the great
doctor accepts it oil in good part because,
forsooth, no is Prince. Not long ago a
greasy, ill-smeling foreigner was at New
port, and during tho progress OF ball he
insulted two or three young girls.
NOT THE EXPECTED LETTER
The host was spoken to about IL, and
what was the result? Why, he looked at
| his informer q moment in SPECIFICS sur
! prise. and then replied: "Why. my God,
man, he's prince" And that was good
and sufficient reason why he should violate
the honor of mans daughter under his
very eyes if he so desired.
That's the sort of thing that makes me
mad. I'm looking for a chance 10 slap one
| of these foreign whelpS square.y IN the
face, and III do it. too; you see if don't.
But there I'm getting excited. I'll
talk of something else, the new theatre
nantes, for instance. Have you seen
them2 They are the very softest Of soft
white cashmere and they are edged with
silken floss. A three-cornered hood covers
the head, and girl with her pretty hair
curling all around her face, waiting for
her escort, is as pretty sight as one sees
in century.
The fashion for smoking cigarettes has
rather gone out. The world at large did
not fall in with the idea that it increased
a woman's loneliness to either smell or
| taste of tobacco
But alas. In following the fashion many
OF them have acquired habit which can
not be laid aside ike other fads. SO thew
smoke and do not tell. The newsboys are
more disconsolate than the ladies. Some
thing worse than violation Of fashion
| confronts them. ITS against tho law
! for boys TO smoke. So they hide behind
| fences and station o sentinel outside "to
watch fer de cop.n But the cop don't
want TO see them. He turns his head the
other way, and he means it for kindness.
He says:
ABOUT ALL TIE COMFORT THEY HAVE"
