Every o.her man looks awkward ami

Twilight, which is noted for its wit and
cleverness, there is a London fog which
comes down on ladies' evening. IF you

When man goes to the club his wife has
| to find some evening occupation.
Frederic r. Burton, who is a very clever
newspaper writer, has a very clever wife,
and he went out, though not to a club, late
one evening. There had been particularly
| ghastly murder in the Immediate neighbOT-
hood, and he thought he must telephone TO
| the Office to see If it were wanted by tho
Sun. Apparently it was, for he failed to
| return. Mrs Burton waited for him
hour after hour. The crime haunted
her fancy, she could not read, she could
not sit still About 10 o'clock
she decided to make some cookies and adj
| journed to the kitchen 1t was rather
weird work rolling out the cakes in the
! stiffness of the midnight, but the first pan
full baked well. Then the fire went out,
! and when Burton came home in thu small
hours of the morning he found her with
| Toured hands poking the dead Goals of the
| CRATE and thinking, possibly. there was a
| little alloy in the bliss OF being wife to q
newspaper man.
Mrs. Betty Padelford is almost disap-
pointmenr. The heroine of cause ceIebre
who goes upon the stage to elevate it Dug ut
to be a stick according to all precedent.
Mrs. Padleford is not beauty, IL her
charms were at one time the sensation of
| Washington. She has a refined face with
pretty brown hair not very cleverly coiffed
and a high-bred smile Her figure is slight
and hurt by bad corseting Her syoice is
slender and her acting stiff and constrained,
and yet she's not making bad impression
as Casilda in "The Gondoliers" this
week in Brooklyn. Her work is con-
4 scientious and to some extent
intelligent. At the court Of Barataria she
wears, of course, a gorgeous gown. No ele-
walton of the stage is otherwise possible. A
| delicate blue silk is the material, flounced
with white lace and wrought with gold.
| Over this pc ticoat comes a paniered over
dress of white satin brocaded with gold and
edged about with a continuous row OF little
pink roses without foliage. These roses
head the lace founce on the petticoat, and
make the decoration of the corsage. There
is a sweeping train which falls from the
shoulders.
The little blue cap which Marion Mauola
| wears as "Gianetta" in 1.-THE GondOliers''
has already become the fashion. 1t is q
charming little cap Of blue silk. all puffs
and frills, and the tendrlls of her curly hair
peep from under it most bewitchingly. She
wears a little blue necklace, aud a handful
of blue rl0bons is fastened at her waist I'd
fiutters over her gown. H llf the girls who
are on the lookout for fetching things to
| wear db uDtlle are eADtTlu1bltlIR Win SIM
liar combinations. For breakfast and in
formal forenoon wear nothing has so ap-
pealed to the feminine heart these many
seasons.
At Mrs. Frank Lesle's reception to the
officers of the Press CLUB and to the newly
organized club of newspaper women there
were four young women who were easily
first in the attentions lavished on them by
the sex masculine. These were Vida Croly,
Jenny June's daughter, who is a magnet In
any company by her splendid vitality aud
brilliant brunette coloring; Nettje Hooper,
whose mother is Mrs. Lucy Hooper and
who Is piquant girl with unlimited powers
of repartee; Miss Elita Proctor OTIS. the
anna eur actress and editor of the Saturday
ReuietU, whose dimple and whose shoulders
are worthy of all fame, and little Miss Mat
tie Sheridan, the bright society reporter
who is only very trlfle taller than her tai
white ostrich feather fan. Little Miss
Sheridan, half hidden under her yellow
hair, is quickly surrounded in any COM
pany.
Mrs. Leslie's rooms in the Gerlach are
charming. The walls of the parlors are
finished in terra Gotta, aud the ceilings are
pearl. with corniceS and center pieces picked
out in gold. THIS makes a fine background
for paintings which cover aim st every

herself smiling a welcome from one side of
the doorway. The floors are polished and

and dainty bric-a-brac, but the mistake is
not made of oyer-crowding aud turning g

the fashion OF over-zealous women.
