the most prominent society people IN New

separated them from the extremely limited
number Of guests who attended the hrst as
semhly of the Colonial Danes, held at tue
residence of Mrs. Lyon Gardiner, of Gardi-
ners island. on Madison avenue.
For some time past the fashionable people
who move ia New York society have been
discussing the appearance of a new comet in
society's sky represented by the Colonial
| DANES.
IL appers that some time ago certain par
sons whose names occur more frequently on

A lady still on the pretty side of 40,
says the New York Sun, was on her way
up town at night, under the protection of a
uniformed messenger boy, according TO New
York usage. He felt his Importance, and set
up very straight until one of his chums sat
down beside him. The two youngsters were
soon engaged in confidential interview,
and the escort forgot his charge. Mean
while the lady's brother. by the merest
chance, boarded this identical car, and took
seat by her. He uuconsclously passed his
arm behind her. aud was in the very middle
of an animated dialogue which happened
to make her look somewhat worried The
messenger boy suddenly bethought himeeh
of his duty. A glance at the lady's troubled
countenapce, and at that mans arm back of
her shoulders, was sufficient to convince him
that she needed protection.
Take your arm down, sir ~ he exclaimed
sternlv, and at the same time gave it any
thing but gentle push.
There was burst of laughter, and the
boys looked at each other in blank astenish-
ment
MAKE believe you don't see it, whis-
persa the chum OF the lady's guardian with
u chuckle. "Don'6 you see she wants it
thoHss You aiR't fly, you Ain't."
1t was a wise man who said on the subs
ject of womans dress: II have found
invariably that those women who really
| understand the art OF dress, who know what
| TO wear and when to wear it, have tasre
and intelligence of more refined order
than those who regard costume in the light
OF mere clothes, and who not only reveal no
appreciation of womRn's obligation to
look her best at oil times. but affect to treat
| dress altogether as Il subject only for the
attention Of frivolous minds"
The death of Marechale Pelissier, Duchess
of Malakotf. recalls the pretty story of her
| betrothal. She was near relative OF the
Empress Eugonie, and one day, walking in
the garden of the palace, she met the gallaat
mArechal, who asked tho beautiful girl for
| u rose she had lust broken.
WHIST would you do with rose! You
like only hurels," the girl answered, but
| gave him the flower.
The reply captured the marechal, who
said to the empress later: II thought nv
self difficult to conquer, but in this case
Malakoff has surrendered at the first fire. "
One reason why American girls wish 70
