Considering that the season of indoor city
xsvety is over, says Clara Belle in a New
York letter in the Republic, and that the
rariod of outdoor country diversion is not
vet begun, the fashionable girl Tolls back
from her activity and INDUCES in quiet little
whims of minor amusement. One of them
;s 70 read her morning mail while driving
along the avenue in her victoria. 1t is a
custom imported some little time ago, and it
is meant to signify to the outside world that
real society bellies are so pressed for time
tbat they must perform some of their daily
duties while flying from one engagement 60
eoother. The mail must be very large, and
should be piled consplcuously on the seat be-
side the fair reader. 1t is said that some of
the girls make up mail of their own to carry
ABOUT with them, aud that their
bona-fide letters could all DO read
while they sip their coffee at break
fast. Be this as it may, it is certain that
one young lady at least scans a real mail
when she rides abroad, for playful breeze
sweeping through cross street one recent
morning caught a number of her letters as
they lay on the seat beside her and carried
them without her knowledge to the feet of
two wicked clubmen who knew her we'll 1t
was simple matter for them to pick up the
few missives, and one of them placed the
truants in the inside pocket OF his coat, in
tending to return them invlolate to their
righttul owner.
But. alas for the honor Of clubmen, this
noble intention was not kept. The Two
dropped into the club and sat down with a
hottie between them. After awhile the one
who had the letters took the small packet
from his coat, and observed that they might
disclose lot of fascinating secrets if read
He then began to finger the letters. At last
he said: "Why, confound it, these are bills,
not billet-doux" And then those two
wicked men agreed to examine the bills.
The man holding them read out, and his
companion listened intently.

And the other folded up the remaining
bills and put them away. The young lady
that lost them has worried little to know
into whose hands they fell, and now she
carries a paperweight to hold her letters
down when she drives along the avenue in
the morning sunshine.
Dark blue English serge dresses. says the
New York Sun, of which the Princess Of
Wales has realized the posi- bilities which
she includes In her wardrobe as much as her
court trains, and diagonal work in the same
color, are the favorite selections for sum-
mer, and are worn over shield-shaped shirt

collars and blue foulard ties.

dress coats ana worn over waistcoats of

and perfect fit are the things needful to
the perfect success of these gowns, as the
materials are not in themselves attractive
There is fashion in the color OF carriage
horses, says Boston letter. Once, many
seasons ago, there was a rage for gray;
now, gray animals are at a discount and
are, as rule, associated with wedding par
ties catered for by a livery stable. Light
cheStnuts had then a turn, but they were
found, like certain snowy materials, not TO
wear we'll. One year roans were in fashion,
aud they were most satisfactory as to wear-
ing qualities and also as to temper. Even
now well-matched pair of red roans ara
looked upon as quite correct and very hand
some; but the color of the season is dark bay,
with black points. Dark browns were in
favor last season; and naturally, since
horses cannot change the color of their
coats SO easilya as men and women, will be
much used this year. Some good has GER
taiDly been done by the recent agitation
against the bearing -rein headed by the
Duke OF Portland. We have noticed lately
that many coachmen have dispensed with
1t, and In the case of lady whips we have
seldom seen it used. Once we saw the
1ootman loosen the bearing-reins while the

Clara Belle in her New York letter in the

reputation of beiog TOO beautiful to show in

no rose leaf could be more soft and more

the very best. At the first assembly ball
she was dressed in cream white, with short
sleeves and a modest V-shape front and
