THE NEW DANCES.
Descriptions of the Waltz Minuet and Law
enir Adopted for the season.

Descriptions of the Waltz Minuet and Law
enir Adopted for the season.
New York SUM-
The Waltz Minuet and l'avenir are the
seasons new dances, chosen and adopted at
the recent convention. The idea of the
former, which promises TO be the more popu-
lar of the two, originated with Strauss, bis
idea being to temper the yigor of the mod
ern waltz into something more graceful than
the tearing romp it has degenerated into.
As the name implies, it combines the slow
stateliness of the minuet W ith the perverted
waltz, and produces as a result very pretty
dance. 1t begins with the minuet step, for
which the music is slow and the time
strongly marked, and develops into the reg
ular waltz step, with music trife slower
than the waltz as ordinarily danced.
This step is much more easily learned
than L'avenir, which is combination of
the schottische, waltz and galop steps to-
gether, with step unlike any of the dances
now in vogue. The music to which it is
danced is very gay and sprightly, the move
ment picturesque and pleasing, and the
effect Of room full of people dancing it is
enchanting. 1t commences with schot-
tische step, the music quickens to gaiop,
and again as quickly slows to a stately
measure resembling the minuet, only that
it is little more vivacious. The last step
is the intricate L'avenir itself, and is like
nothing so much as a waltz danced in
euickstep time, if such thing were posi-
bic.
As the various figures come and go the
gentleman puts his arm about the lady's
waist as in ordinary round dances, holds
her left hand in his right as they trip for
direction with their smooth, gliding step in
their progress to the galop, which is feat
ure of the dance.

PULLED BREAD.
This bread is much used in England and Is
always served with cheese. The manner of
preparing it is as follows: Just as soon as loaf
bread has been removed from the oven, pull
the inside out Of 1t in pieces about the size OF a
roll.
Place these pieces in pan; set in the oven
until brown.
These can be eaten hot or cold. but are
usually served very hot.
Pulled bread can also be made from unbaked
dough. Divide the dough into six or eight
equal parts.

THE oLD-TIME CORNER SHELF.
A corner shelf canopy, one of the most
universally decorative things that can be
used in house, is made by draping silken
curtains from it. The old-time corner shelf
is thus made exceedingly rich looking. The
edge of the shelf is dressed off by a narrow
brass railing. The illustration shows the
treatment.
Among the very latest decorative oddities
which have come in to US from all the world
over, are japanese straw mats about five
feet long, made in the same way as mating,
only designed in colored straw in mat sizes.

A gown of white yelling has the skirt cut
in shallow points over band of green vel
vet, collars, cuffs and girdle of the same,
the prosaic recommendation of which
is that the velvet takes the wear
and the gown keeps its freshness
better. White blazers are made in a white
ribbed flannel that looks like corduroy and
does not soil like twilled wool. Jackets of
white duck and fine twilled linen are made
able.
The newest London sunshaGes are heecy
white washing net, puffed and frilled all
over, finishing with deep ruffie of double
net or Mechlin dotted net. They are dyed
to match costume, in cream, mauve, saffron,
pale green and pink, and are the sunshades
for dressy weddings, parties and races. To
make the plain skirts hang we'll English
dress makers put wadding under the hens.
A piece of lining or alpaca yard long and
a quarter wide has thin layer of wadding
tackled on, is folded in two and sewed inside
the hem in front of the skirt, where it adds
substance and takes the wear from the instep
of the shoe or stocking. The set of the skirt
is much improved for the addition. The
true old leg of mutton sleeves are cut in one
piece.
WEAR TEA JACKETS.
The new tea jackets are very dressy and
convenient addition to wear with lace skirts
or silk ones for evening OF quiet home din
ners and concerts. They are tight fitting in
the back, if not in front, made of handsome
material, much trimmed with lace and en-
broidery, and the elbow cieeves are finished
with a lace frill. In black striped merveil-
leux with loose full front of pale pink or

Accordion pleating is used alternately

foot, buttonholed in fine vandykes, collar
and cuffs are of the lawn, and the gown is
tied with pale purple ribbons. The foulard

whalebones featherstitched like embroidery.

WOMEN's REM ARKABLE WORK.

Others Besides Miss Fawcett are Distin.
gushing Themselves in the Schools.
New York SUM-
Another woman in England who, like the
girl senior wrangler, has achieved much
distinction in an educational way, is Miss
Eleonora L. Fleury, who has Just had the
honor of passing the medical degrees exam
ination of the Royal University of Ireland
in the Upper Pass Division. The examin-
ers recommended her for the further exam
ination for honors in company with one
other student, man, in which she won the
first place in the order of merit and the
University prize of $40 as we'll. The whole
career of this remarkable young woman has
been continuous record of the highest med
ical honors woman student can gain.
In the law, too, recently, there has been
brilliant success gained by Mile. Belcesco, a
Roumanian lady, who has recently taken
her degrees. Like Miss Fawcett, she OBJ
tanned the highest place in the examination
for the licentiatic degree, and her success at
the examination for the doctors degree was
quite as phenomenal. The question was
raised as to her wearing the cap and gown,
and finally decided in the negative by a
learned doctor, who pronounced that, as in
heraldry, metal should not be up on metal,
nor color on color, so one gown should not
hide another.
This Roumanian Portia is pretty girl of
%, tall and graceful, and of the bru-
nette type peculiar to the country.
Her parents have given her a
thorough boys education, and there are
few more accomplished Latin and Greek
scholars than she. Her mother always es-
corted her, and in the six years OF her study
she has missed only one lecture. Her pres
sent purpose is to apply for admission at
the Bucharest bar, not to practice for re-
muneration, as her circumstances render it
entirely unnecessary, but to establish pre-
cedent in favor OF women who are obliged
to earn livelihood. and to plead for women
too poor to employ other counsel.

An Experience Upon the Stage Thnt Made
the Great Actress Most Wretched.
Modjeska blames cat for one of the most
wretched moments of her life She was
playing Camille" The climax is reached
when, seeing her wasted form in the glass
after her sickness, Camille expresses herself
in a dismal shrek. This evening, preced-
ing this crowning yell perhaps minute,
there strolled upon the stage at the first en-
trance most leisurely cat-one of the sex
whic h votes. He proceeded along the foot
lights some ten feet, and then, bending his
yellow gaze on the alien with the big fiddle,
stood in feline adm iration of the virtuoso.
Modjeska, busy with her work, with her
back to the front, saw nothing, and, at the
proper place. foated forth a skriek, the like
of which had not been voiced by Polish
throat since Kosciusko fell. The effect on
the cat was magic itself. Never in the
somber alley or the high eestacy of
moonlighted roof, neither in
loving spooning nor mortal fight, had
he ever produced or heard a noise its equal.
Turning wildly, his reason overthrown, his
horror-stricken tail as large as baby's leg.
he fled, while the people roared and yelled.
Poor Modjeska almost tainted, and, sus-
pecting the cause to be some deficiency in
garb, stuck her ten fingers in her costume
and cantered after the cat.

A NEW ENGLISH GAME.

1t Beats Cr0quet for Out-of- Door Diver.
sion and is Already Popular.
A new out-oEdoor game called "The
Colors" has been invented by Mrs. A.
Hartshorne, of Bradbourne Hall, near
Derby, England, says the Pail Nall Budget
1t may be played by four or eight players.
For the four players the materials for the
game are four sets of five posts painted red,
white, blue and green. Each player has a
little rack on which she or he carries eight
rings, two each OF the same colors, and two
small flags bearing the letters II. or IL, ="
signifying right or left. There are also flags
painted black to indicate miss or "fault."
The court should be 60 feet long by Sc feet
wide. To arrange the ground the posts are
planted in sets of fves, each post two feet
six inches apart from its neighbor, in a
figure which would form a cross, the first or
starting set being at one end of the ground,
the end or finishing set at the extreme end
OF the court exactly opposite the start, and
the side sets in the middle of each side of
the court.
Each player being furnished with his
complement of eight rings, which have pre-
vlously been shaken up in bag, two part
ners stand on each side of the starting set of
posts facing each other. The whole object
of the game is to get rid of the rings in such
a manner that they retain their proper Sc
auence on the posts. There is no throwing
or running. The players walk leisurely
from set to set, deposit their rings if they
can, and then walk on to the next set Of
posts. One player may get rid of ring by
placing 1t on his partners ring, and any
player may play two rings following if pos
sible
There is no hurry or scurry, but there is
a certain amount of science in the game,
and OF course it may be varied in many
ways. 1t may be called the quadrille OF
garden games. 1t will never in any way
interfere with tennis, because it appeals to
totally different people from tennis players,
but there is plenty of room for 1t. and 1t
certainly is prettier and more interesting
than croquet, though it seems so simple.
The new game was played the other after
noon in the gardens OF the Inner Temple by

Drawing back or looping a curtain is
almost invariably done by carrying your
cord or gimp from the hook on the window

latest fashion is entirely different. A ro-
sette, cap or tuft is affixed to the curtain,
somewhere about loot from the inner edge
and the cord is attached to this, both front
and back of curtain. Endless innovation
can be introduced upon this idea. The tuft
can be covered by bunch of artificial flow
ers or heavy bow. IF the drapery is on
