"a Rose of q Hundred Leaves" is
we'll called a love story, and a love story
out OF the common it is. 4 fair young
English girl OF an old family meets and
tails in love with 4 young man OF her
Owl class, who has seen much moro OF
the world than she has and been smit-
ten with many women. The girl loves,
the mar admires, they are bctrothed,
after which the man behaves very bad
ly. What follows is not to be antici-
pated here. Suffice it to say thatin the
end the inconstant lover fares much
better than he deserves. The book is
handsomely printed and embcllished
with fine illustrations Of English com
try life. Amelia L. Barr is the author,
and it has fallen to her lot to add to tho
mass OF novels ono worth reading.

reader ito that deeper study of books

At the spring dances one sees pink until
it seems that the world is coulaur de rose.
Blondes wear pink and brunettes wear it,
and as for that overwhelming majority who
are neither blonde nor brunette but simply

pink and look their best in it as a rule. A

lspecial Correspondence of The INDEPENDENT
NEW York, April 22.-There are not many
more interesting spots than Claremont
these April afternoons, when the sky is so
brilliantly blue and the clouds SO brilliantly
white and the Hudson waters blaze with
such a spring glitter that one looks and
and looks and brims with speechless SYM
pathy for the people one sees now and then
in front of plain air paintings making bold
to assert that in nature there are no such
colors.
But there are other things to see at Glare
mont than windswept heights and Rlinting
river. There are carriages driving up and
horseback parties coming to a pause, and
even when saucy robins and budding trees
demand ones best attention one has still a
glance to spare for the women in quaint
bright toilets who move this way and that
in the sunshine. each with a long stem of
flowers waving like a palm branch in her
hand.
There are men with them but these are
less interesting, and there are two or three
huge dogs and there are footmen and coach
men. Laughter comes ripping ouer the
grass in widening circles, and there will be
bugling of and cowslips from
children who have been far to get them,
and drinking of the mild and uninteresting
beverage, tea.
1t is at Claremont that one has in April
as good a chance as any to study Now
York's fashionable women. At the Clare
mont tea drinkings the first p~arasols come
ont, and there is gaety Of toilet to rival the
dandelions. All the skirts sweep over the
hillside and many of them are founced to
tho knee. The coats open over marvellous

many. Some have wave of lace surging up
about their throats and receding again al
most to their feet in long ripples. A ma
jority, perhaps, wear little bonnets that are
nothing more than cunningiy planted
with the brims TUNED upgrotesquely at the
back and trimmed with morning glories or
dahlias or sweet peas in a daring variety of
colors.
That young woman in channels and emer-
aid green is one whose name you have seen
among the list of dancers at every fashion
of the prettiest blondes of the city. Her
face is turned from you, but note her bell

different summer temperatures. A light
WOODEN skirt. for example, will have a coat
bodice with basque flaps braided smartly
with tinsei, and will have also u blouse of
surah or wash silk exactly matching it in
tone, and provided, very possibly, for
neatness of finish with u short pointed
peasant girdle. Fahetas, of which for a
long time only petticoats have boon fash
ionod, are being nsed to some extent this
summer for afternoon toilets and tea gowns.

each claiming to be Senator from
Florida
Both credentials were then placed on
file.
The credentials Of Mr. Brice as Sena-
tor-ele CT from Ohio having been pre-.
bented and read, Mr. Sherman sail;
Before the oath Of Office is admins
tered to Mr.. Brice, | desire to say that
"A large portion Of the citizens of Ohio
contend that he was not an inhabitant
OF that State at the time Of his election,
and was, therefore, not eligible to a
seat in this body.
"On examining the prece1euts 20,
which there are several in the his
tory of the government and some of
them most important), | am entirely
satisfied that Mr.. Brico is entitled to
be sworn in on the prima facie case of
his credentials, which are regular in
form. / simply give this notice. how
ever so that his being sworn may not be
considered any waiver or any misappre-
heusion or miscon3truction if the pc ople
of Ohio should assert and prove to the
satisfaction of the Senate that Mr..
Brice was not at the time of his cleo
tion an inhabitaut of Ohio. l think
that this statement from me is proper
and necessary. But | make no objection
to the swearing in OF Mr. Brice. "
The swearing in Of the newly elec ted
(or appointed was then pr oceeded
with.
As soon as all the new Senator'S were
sworn in, Mr.. Sherman olfered the
usual resolution for the appointment of
two Senators to join like committee G
on the part of the House to wait on the
President of the United States and in
form him that a quorum of each House
was assembled, and that Congress was
ready to receive any commun ication he
might be pleased to make.
The resolution was agreed to- and
Messrs. Sherman aud Harris were ap-
pointed.
Resolutions were offered and agreed
TO fixing noon as the daily hour of
meeting, and directing the secretary to
inform the House of Representatives
that the Senate was ready to proceed to
business, and then the Senate adjourned
until to-day.
The name of Gov Hill, Senator elect
from New York, was not printed on the
list Of Senators, nor were his creden-
tials presented.
Immediately after roll call by the
Clerk the House adjourned until noon
to-day. There were 800 mem bers pres
