which fell under my personal notice last
week, says Clara Belle IN a New York
letter in the Republic:
Tom B., as clever fellow as ever lived.
MADE an unhappy marriage a few wears
ago, out only his most intimate friends sus-
pected 1t. They accounted for Toms sys-
tematlc absence from home evenings on the
score OF his being great club man. Well.
last week Tom died suddenly and was
buried from an uptown church, and
as the coffin was borne out of the
church on the shoulders of six OF his
friends lady dressed in black and closely
yelled, uttered smothered cry Of woe and

apply restorativeS. At that instant the
widow came opposite the pew, and, glanc-
ing at the pallid face and closed eyes Of the
Ialntlng woman, saw TO her amazement
that she was Mrs. De F., one OF her most
intimate married friends. for whom Tom
mad always professed the most sublime in-
difference. Possibly the fainting scene
might have been dismissed from the
widows mind as one of those strange
things that woman will do at
times had it not became necessary to send
to Toms club In search of pair of valuable
sleeve buttons, which the widow thought
he might have left in one of the clubs

being informed that her husband never
spent an evening at the club, and that
weeks and months had often gone by with
out his crossing the threshold. Here was A

only may assure you that the relations
between the widow and her friend who
made the scene in the church are very
strained.
A beautiful tea gown has just been made
Tor Lady Carew, who is one of the well
known brunette beauty pecreasesn 1t is
OF mirror gray damasse satin, with long
train held at the waist with lovely,old
paste buckle. The front Of the robe sweeps
open over petticoat of creamy lace, virline
perfect shade of pale yellow.
The bodice has an immensely broad
founce of lace falling from the throat and
hanging. almost like cape, over the arms
and to the waist back and front. The
sleeves are full and plain, and of the dam
asse, they reach just below the elbow, and
from them hang double fiounces of lace that
quite cover the hands to the finger tips.
This fashion of immensely long sleeves is
generally accepted as good style" for every
kind OF gown, whether it is for morning,
afternoon or evening", And really | think
it most becoming, for The hand looks smaller
and more graceful when 1t is delicately
yelled. And then, too, what an economi-
cal fashion it isl Think of the yards of
gloves we have had to buy for SO many
years!
| saw such a handsome American girl the
other day buying 'caramels' at big sweet
shop on Regent street, says a London letter
writer in the New York Press. She was
dressed merveille in smooth dark blue
cloth gown, with a plain pointed skirt
edged with a narrow border Of black and
gold passementerie.
The bodice was composed, to outward
seeming, of two parts a long nnder bodice
with plain full skirt being of very bright
blue, and an over bodice like big pinafore
Of the dark blue, without any apparent
fastening back or front, and edged with
passementerie to match the skirt 1t showed
the light blue under bodice under the arms,
at the collar aud about four inches all
around the skirt of the bodice. The sleeve,
were also of the bright blue, turned back
with narrow cuffs of dark blue, and gold
and black trimming
The hat worn with this costume was of
dark blue felt, round and stiff, crowned
with an upward curving brim, bound with
dark blue velvet. 1t had tall bunch of
bright blue ribbons at the back, with a mar
row feather ruche all round the crown. A
big black veil, spotted with tiny gold stars.
came below the chin and completed the
headgsar.
White gloves, with black stripes and q
black and gold en- tous cas-, gave the finish
ing touch Of elegance to the costume, which
was quite model of expensive simplicity

Londoners are ''enthusing" mildly over a
new slipper called the "PeruvIenne," which
has attracted much attention and promises
to be a great success. 1t has two dainty
straps across the ankle which prevent it
from slipping off. The slippers are made in
all the light shades of kid and satin, and
the toe and strap are beautifully embroid-
cred with colored beads to match. To wear
with these slippers are silk stockings that
are marvels of dainty coloring and delicate
texture. Expensive. Well-er-yes You
have only to pay your pound and take your
choice.
