Mdjestu With Minuet.

MAJESTY VAN q Mtnttet.
NEW YORK, Oct. Fashionable cir
Giles in this city are much exercised as
to the indemnity of four pretty American
girls who have arrived in London to
dance before the Queen.
Their chaperon refuses to give names,
but says they are well known in the
best New York society. A picture, how
ever is printed in the October number of
THE NEW YORK AND PARIS YOUNG La
DIES FASHION Bazaar, entitled Pretty
girls learning to dance the minuet, ="
which gives some clue to their identity.
Society here also is interested in
the fact that each of the four Americans
is to wear dress similar to the one illus
trated and marked No. 8 in the colored
plates of the magazine, which has partly
revealed their personality and set fash
ionable circles agog.
The yong ladies have been practicing
the minuet for eight months before ven
turing TO ask the privilege, which has
been granted, of dancing before Her
Majesty.
THE NEW YORK AND PARIS LADIES
FASHION Bazaar is for sale by all news
dealers. 1t will also be sent, postage
paid, for 25 cents for single copy. The
subscription price is $500 per year.

a NUIsANCE.-A lady friend sends
in request which can best be voiced
by using her own language, which is
as follows: Mr.. Editor. A lady
wants to say few words to the gro
Gerry merchants, and really it is del.
icate subject to handle. You know it
is now the time when our grocery
men set their vegetables out on the
pavement and you know there are
many tall dogs in town, and it oper-
ates as though they drank from Sara.
toga medicine spring water. Now
Mr.. Editor, you must know what L
mean to say and if you will help me
out you will do the public a great
favor. What we want is the vegeta-
bles in boxes, or in other words above
high water mark. For the good of
woman and mankind, the grocer will
please attend to this. Those wire
screens they use over the baskets or
barrels are not water tight. This is
delicate subject, but you know when
a lady goes shopping for cabbage and
beets she does not like to be obliged
to hny peas also. Please put this in
shape 50 as to offend no body.
