Covers his face, appalled, at his own jestl

From an interview with casslus N. Clay.

From an interview with CasSlus u. Gay.
"Henry Clay was an entirely different
man from Webster" replied Cassius NJ,
Clay. Webster was great man intel
lectually. but he had none of the natural
guickness of Clay, and | don't think he
had as great a soul as Clay had. He was
not man of great personal magnetism,
and | don't think his moral character was
as good as that of Mr. Clay's. 1 first met
him when | was a boy on my way to col
lege, and l was greatly impressed with
him then, and he was Clav's superior in
education and in generalization. He
had none of the quickness OF
Claw. however He was not
as gross as Webster. and as far as his rela-
tons with the other sex are concerned, he
was much pnrer man. Clay was partic-
ular about money matters. Webster was
perpetually borrowing from his friends,
and he left a will full of requests which
his friends were TO pay. | don't think
anyone who ever knew Henry Clay failed
TO ike him. He was friend of mine and
he vas my lawyer in the suit which was
brought against me for carving up the no
torious bully, S. NJ. Brown"

the bask was likewise trimmed with
lace and ribbon. For a hat, Miss
Handy wore large black straw, trimmed
with violets, and with black strings
fastened at the back and crossed under
the chin, and carried up again to the back
of the hair, where they were fastened with
pin which had violet with diamond
center.
With this costume Miss Handy wore a
very large, delicately printed, lilac-tinted
veil of silk tulle, which was brought up to
the back of the hat and fastened there,
and was then permitted to hang down in
long ends, which reached half way to her
waist. in the most old-fashioned way
imaginable.
For outdoor wear and mountain walks
leather waistcoats are in fashion. They
are made exactly like mans, with double
revers, and are double-breasted, with O
mans necktie above them. Pigskin.
which has very highly polished surface
after it is dressed, is the favorite material,
and pigskin buttons are also used both on
these vests and on cloth dresses.

skirts are bound with leather. The leather
is usually placed on the outside, then
turned under to the depth of an inch or

which are worn with. these skin vests, are
more often than not bound with leather,

milliners, cloakmakers and dressmakers
find it to their profit 20 make trips to these
places and display their wares to the guests
of the place. These salespeople generally
take room in the best part of the most
fashionable hotel, and then after sending
around circulars to all the summer guests
they spread out what they have for sale,
and receive customers exactly as if they
were in store in New York.
OF course, none but hight priced goods
are taken away, and it would surprise the
average shopper of limited means to know
the prices at which the simplest thing are
sold.

clever piece of detective work in hunting
down the alleged author of a fall fashion

week, but had not then seen the report
of the Vidocq who has traced the thing to
its source. This is a piece of detective
work turned wrong end first, for it leads
to no less celebrated person than In
spector Byrnes. Perhaps nobody would
have suspected him of setting style, and
yet those who know him will confess that
he has always been carefully dressed. His
attire has been in the prevailing style, too,
with one exception-the hat. For years,
despite the popular usage, he has worn a
rather low-crowned Derby, with a wide,
fat brim. He is wearing it still, and ct
last it is in fashion. This shows that we
never know whom to suspect.
