MISS HARGoUs' AND MRS. DEPEw's DRESSES
There were two plain velvet panels, and
the back was pulled in and hung in simple
straight lines. The waist was of velvet
In the back and In front it was "let in"
with serge, each plait being edged with
silk passementerie. The sleeves were of
gray faille, plated 10 deep cuff. The
dainty little capote bonnet was Of black
velvet and white ribbon. The muff was
Of velvet to match. Mrs. Depew is in
half mourning, and this custom is equally
suitable for that, or it is not necessarily
so il bit Of color is added 10 the bonnet.
Miss Nellie Hargous is called one of
the best dressed young ladies in New
York, and she certainly is one Of the
wealthiest and pretticst, and the other
pretty and quiet costume was made up
for her in dark prune ladies' cloth, trim
med daintily with narrow castle braid,
sewn on in Greek key pattern. The front
Is cut princesse pattern. the sides being
plain from shoulder to foot.
The front breadth is set in under the
trimming of the waist in kilt plating and
the back is finished in the same manner.
The gown fits to perfection, and is set of
by one of the new "shepherdess" hats.
Some call them Doris" hats. They are
Of a satin finished straw, very flexible
and rich, requiring no face lining. This
hat is in dark prune, with old gold rib
bon bows and plumes 1t might seem
that this is a rather daring contrast. but
1t does not appear go at all when worn.
With an ordinary princesse wrapper
pattern any clever lady could make q
gown like this. Ladies cloth is now

Renzon the "Plunger'' in Prison.

Goal Oil Johnny" was thought until
recently to he the type and exenplar
of reckless extravaganza, but "Ceal Oil
Johnny" was an economical and prudent
man as compared with Benzon. the En-
glish "plunger," who is now in legal and
financial difficulties. Three years ago
Benzon attained his majority. and came
into fortune OF 81 800, 900, accumulated
by his father, colonial capitalist. 1t
was jubilee year, the queen Of England's
jubilee, and Benzon soon wore the title
of Jubilee Juggins." He threw away
his money in every conceivable extrav-
agance Of vice. Then he published a
book detailing the way in which he had
squandercd his inheritance. and thereby
realized a small fortune, which supplied
his wants for just ten DAYS. Now he Is
undergoing three months imprisonment
for forgery, the sentence being mild be-
cause Of the courts belief that Benzon is
weak minded. TIE young fellow Is not
destitute, however. for $3.50, 600 Of his
capital. Of which he can only handle the
interest, is held by trustees. 1t is not
often one learns of such a shameful and
wicked misuse of wealth as that for
which Benzon is responsible.
