The man who carries his isumbrella under
, his arm in that way" said woman, the
other day, lodging one protruding from
under the arm Of a person in front of her as
she climbed the stairs to an elevated station,
"ought to take a tour abroad. He would
get short shrift in London or Paris or in al
most any of the Continental cities The
natives don't do it, and the American, when
he attempts it over there, is treated to an OBJ
ject lesson that once or twice repeated cures
him. 1 once saw an angry Englishman, after
being prodded by an umbrella which was be-
ing carried like double-acting battering
ram, seize the stick, wrench it from its
place, and, presenting it in the proper posi-
tion to its surprised owner, give him with
his property an indignant and emphatic
opinion upon his method"

Ribbons as bretelles and sashes have been
much used this season. A pretty muslin
gown had q novel belt arrangement Four
inch ribbon was passed around the waist
three times, the top and bottom rows
pointed to fit the figure with girdle effect,
the ends being tied in flat bow at the lsA
side and pinned down with fancy pima
Anovelty In art materials for this autumn
arc the beautiful dyed linens which are
being shown at the art shops. In Heu Of
the tones of gray and fawn with which we
are familiar, rich hues riyaling the 'blue
and purple and scarlet of the sacred hang
ings of the old Hebrews are seen. The
fabric itself in its new guise is sufficiently
heavy to take good folds as it hangs and is
likely to contest with art serge for the place
of favorite.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger Cullen Cor
dor), the brilliant author of the 400"
shows in her bearing and n.4nner the
naughty dignity with which she clothes her
grandes danes in print. She is very pune
tilious and ceremonious in the arrange
ments of her household and in her attitude
toward society. Her servants are models
of respectful docility, her men are kept al
ways in full livery, and an air of almost
State formality is preserved in the details
of the establishment. Mrs. Cruger enter
tains great deal and has a liking for send
ing out invitations weeks in advance
Cards for handsome dinner which she gave
in Easter week last spring were futtering
among the favored before Ash Wednesday.
1t may be added that Mrs. Cruger is q very
successful dresser, her toilets being
striking and original, always stopping
short of the bizarre, however. She herself
would never indulge in the vagary of a
black velvet tea gown on July morning, as
she permits one of her heroines
This season has been a peculiarly tryin9
one to the summer girl as it has been so
pronouncedly white one: The fashion for
wearing white has amounted to a rage, and
at the seashore and in the mountains, in
villas, boarding houses and hotels, white
gowns have prevailed, with white parasols,
shoes and gloves as accessories. Against
these spotless toilets black has been some
what used in embroidery, alternating with
gold and silver, but for the most part unre-
Iieved white Is the rule-a fad which Is
both expensive and to many girls very un-
becoming.
In search for novelty, some entertain
ments have been given recently in Paris
called "balls for young mothers" Ths in
vitations include only such as have right
TO this title, with, of course, attendant
cavaliers, and the cotillon favors are chill
dren's toys The next day the young
matron pays her visit of reconnaissance, ac-
companied by her child.
