Dresses of Somber Black.

Good Friday became day long to be remem-
bered, and Easter Sunday brought with it more
of sorrow than joy. What week followed
A city in lamentation for the death of noble,
public-spirlted men and women; society clad in
the garb of mourning. Surely the death on the
cross has been brought home 80 the heavy
hearts of many, and its comfort has been their
only stay
Easter Joys, Easter bOnnets and Easter gowns
have abdlcated. ana in their stead We have
Easter woe, mourning hats and gowns OF SOM
Der black. The record of fashionable Fifth
avenue dress emporium is that for ten days
scarcely anything but black has been ordered,
and mourning orders have taken precedence
over everything. Millinery establishments give
the same report and florists also. The de-
mand tor flowers has been unprecedented,
and the florists have been constantly at work
supplying orders 70. designs, pillows and bas-
Gets Of blossoms to be used as aftecnonate
tributes to the dead. The lilies of Easter have
lain on the casl1ets of many dear one at rest
The emblems of Joy became the expressions of
sorrow. And in the future the Easter lily, in
my mind, Will be closely associated with the
tuberose, as the sight of them will recall the
various saddening scenes of this Easter week
In which they have formed part

What Can Be Seen From a Window.

From my window 1 notice the women in
black and by count find SO habited six out of
every ten. A lady who lives in the neighbor-
hood of HomewoOd Cemetery told me
the other day that she had not
looked out of her windows for
week without seeing either tiny white hearse
or a stately black one with their long line of
carriages moving slowly in the direction of the
cemetery. The old gentleman who attends tc
opening graves at the Allegheny Cemetery is
authority Tor the statement that during this
grip plague there have been opened 26 more
graves at that place than during the cholera
epidemic of some years ago, OF course there
are many more people in his community than
at the time of the cholera, but nevertheless the
death rate has been something appalling.
Other cities and other localities have been as
severely stricken ours. Think of 800 dead
awaiting burial In Chicago at one timei
Truly, my pen has run TO sorrow, but how
can 1t do otherwise? Sorrow can only be re-
Neved by the prognostications of the physicians
that the dreadful disease is looSening its grasp,
and by the prophecy of the weatherwlse that
clearer and brighter days are about to dawn.

Gen. Vallejo's readiness of apt ancc-
doto was always remarkable. Patti
once dined with him, and asked the old
soldier if lie enjoyed the first opera he
ever heard.
"Why, no, said Vallejo; land yet l
confess l shall never forget it"
This reply aroused PATHS curiosity,
and she demanded when and where the
event took place.
I'm 1923, on the site of the Palace
hotel, San Francisco. J."
''Indeedl And who was the prima
donna so long ago as thatf"
swell, I can't say" was the smiling
answer; but there were at least five
hundred coyotes in the chorus. "
