The neglige blouses that have been worn
this summer have gotten the ladies into very
DAD habits, for they are almost invariably
worn without c0rsets. Despite all the
turore that was raised about il last season,
there were really very few women who took
OIL their corsets. In one Of the Turkish
baths the other day a well-known lady said
to her attendant: ''Annie, what makes me
SO fieshy heref" placing her hands just above
the waist line. II never was SO before this
sumner
you've been going without corsets,
haven't you, maamm asked Annie, and
the lady admitted that she had. The at
tendant informed her that that was what
was the matter, aud that great many
ladies were afflicted in the same way.
And, you'll lose your shape entirely,
ma'am, she added, 'if you don't put 'em
on again"
heard the other day rather the most
amusing story that has been told regarding
Mrs. Leslie and the marquis. 1t came
direct, too She said: "A few days before
L left London, asked the marquis to return
my letters. He said that he would do so,
and few days later they came. And what
do you suppose that ridiculous man had
donef He had made a little coffin of black
walnut and lined with satin. Il was Just
large enough to hold the letters. On the lid
was little silver plate, which bore the ono
word vale. Wasn't IL drollp
Indeed, Mrs. Leslie seems to have an idea
that nearly everything the marquis says is
very funny. A lady who is very fond Of
her and at whose receptions she always
appears, said to me the other day: DO
you know, l believe she likes the man, for
she never tires of telling how brilliant and
how witty aud how entertaining and how
accomplished he is And she is always
repeating his funny speeches. Mrs. Leslie
told me that when she was In Lon
non she he'd upon her mantelpiece two
pictures, one of Tommy Russell and the
other of young Mr.. Hope. One day the
marquis called, surveyed the pictures crit
ically through his glass, and asked who they
were. Mrs Leslie replied that one was MIR.
Hope and the other was Lord Fauntleroy.
"'Ah,' answered the marquis looking
through his glass again, 'er-which is
Fauntleroyr
Somebody says that Mrs. Leslie's relations
with the marquis and her Paris dresses and
diamonds ought to make her lecture tour o
success, leaving everything else out of the
question.
The dress which she likes the best IS in
her favorite combination of black and
white. 1t has a petticoat Of white satin,
covered with jet embroidery. The bodice
and long court train are Of heavy black
satin, brocaded with big creamy roses.

absolutely dustproof and waterproof, which it
could not be il it were hinged.
With each watch there goes a guarantee by the
Manhattan Watch Company to keep it in order
for one year, free of ell charge, and q guarantee
from the makers of the case, Joseph Fahys IL
Co., for fifteen years.
The face OF this watch is precisely the same as
that of the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is of
oxidized silver, acid eaten very neat and quaint.
The movement is the quick train, with straight
line lever escapement with direct acting
hand set that permits accurate setting, and will
not allow the hands to move out of position
while setting. In the sweep second movement
the second hand is run direct from the move
ment train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by friction pinion
from a side center. This gives all the advan-
tages in time keeping qualities OF the most deli
cately adjusted and expensive movement.
Each watch is put up in a neat box, padded, to
carry it safely through the mails. In the box
are directions for setting the hands and regula-
ting the watch, with the name OF the person at
the factory VINO tested and packed it. If on re-
ceipt of the watch it does not regulate or keep
time or is found out of order in any way; it is
to be returned to the Manhattan Watch Com
