BEAUTIFUL GOWNS.
For Musical and Other Entertainments at
Country Houses

NEW YORK, Aug 81, 1S91.-Now that the
summer heats are about at an end and the
languor and inertia induced by dog-day
weather are beginning to wear off, society
is arousing itself somewhat to commence
again the round of entertainments which
will internationally fill in the interval be-
tween now and next spring. The first of
these are Of course given at the various cot
tages and country seats where the fashion,
able contingent mildly dissipates away the
fall months. AS it is quite too early in the
season for grand weddings. balls. or even
large. stately dinners, the first festivities
are apt TO be of a quiet. unostentatious
nature, such as luneheons. informal dances,
amateur muslcales and so forth. 1t is not
perhaps decided yet whether the banjo, the
mandolin or the violin is TO be the fad of
the hour with our maidens; but there's
sure to be some one instrument over which
the bellies will pose. and FROM which they
will draw forth more or less sweet sounds,
which with the aid of demure glances ana
coquettish smiles, will serve TO beguie the
masculine hearts. And in anticipation of
such happenings, Redfern has designed
some lovely new costumes for parlor con-
certs, one of which is here illustrated.

Look out for Wrinkles.

Madison-ayenue oculist, who sat in the sand
at Spring Lake and eyed the bellies and buds
with field glass.

eyes under those rick-rack straw hats, and
the sauze-coVered parssols are as good as

observe you will find that all the fashion
ably dressed women on the beach have to
squint like sailors to see where they are
going.
Snow that makes wrinkles gather round
the eyes, across the nose and forehead and
frequently about the lips. They don't come
in pairs. but in companies, and, what is
worse, they come to stay.
"To save your life You can't get them

the original Brunswick, who was a half

from Virginia, and sought refuge here from

the gutter on Ridge avenue, near Laurel

neat, respectable-looking young woman,
on whose face was depicted sorrow,
anxiety and shame. The man was very
drunk, and the wife was watching over
him.

slept, while the wife watched patiently,
with the child sobbing at her side, waiting
for him to recover sufficiently for her to lead
him home.-Philadelp hia Times
