AppropOs oftrailing petuccats, the danes Of
the haute voice are not wearing skirts that are
not long enough to sweep up the refuse of the
streets. At a recent ClaremOnt tea where the
flower Of society was represented. the gowns
either quite cleared the ground or they were
en- demi-train, which is an eminently proper
fashion for those who rarely go out except IN
a carriage. The Wearers Of gowns which act
as s%cavengers are IN danger of being con-
founded with Mr.. Beattie's STRENGTHENING
brigade, and they do their work in quite as
slouchy and periunctory a style.
EUROPEAN TOURISTS.
The OUTGOING steamers are crowded, and q
more uncomfortable looking lot of feminine
tourists it would be difficult TO find. The
average traveller, particularly one who Is I'M

breathe then she buys q pair of new shoes
and an impossible hat. which is continually
blowing oil and which does not afford the

voyage. IL is a great luxury 10 dispense Win
combing and curling the hair en- voyage. and
