Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt wore a
royal crown to the opera on Friday even
ing. Her appearance as a right down
regular royal queen, instead merely Of a
society queen, attracted immediate at
tention and started a buzz of comment.
The crown was a real unmistakable
crown, not a tiara by any means, and is,
according to her friends, made in exact
duplicate of the British crown.
Mrs. Ogden Mills and Mrs. DR.. Seward
Webb also have crowns, and they have
worn them at the opera, but they did
not elicit the unstinted and unqualified
admiration commanded by Mrs. Wander
biltis queenly showing.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has, indeed, two
crowns. The one made in imitation of
Queen Victoria's crown was got up after
some patriotic hesitation by a London
jeweler. The other one is the crown of
a German princess, purchased from the
one time regal and legal owner by Mrs.
Vanderbilt herself. The purchaser has
every necessary guarantee OF its genu-
ineness. She does not wear 1t regularly,
because the princess was somewhat OBJ
scure, and the crown does not fit her as
well as the British crown does. 1t is
very well in it's way. though, and she
keeps it in reserve.
The crown that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
worn at the opera, and which she has
previously worn at some society affairs,
is a glorious arrangement in pearls and
diamonds, rising in a very stately and
picturesque fashion from the head. 1t
would make half a dozen tiaras, and it
is said to have cost $500, 900. The design
is very graceful.-New York World.

The reports of the success of Mrs.
Alice Shaw, the whistler, in Russia are
contradicted by trustworthy advices
which come from London. So far from
making a phenomenal hit, the beautiful
American caught = decided frost in st.
Petersburg. The company was organ
lied in London, and proceeded to the
land of the n with a great flourish of
trumpets. Making a somewhat pro-
tracted stay en- route in Berlin, consid-
cradle financial loss was incurred by an
inability to secure an engagement, the
singularly stolid Germans failing to see
what delight could accrue from whist
ling.
In st. Petersburg the reception was
quite as disheartening; no dates had
been booked, and the local managers
were slow to experiment with the
kind of entertainment which La Belle
Mifieuse offered. To cap the climax
Rubinstein got hold of the pianist of the
company, and told him that it would
everlastingly ruin his reputation If he
played accomplishments for a whistler.
That did settle it; the pianist made his
escape as fast as he could and retreated
to his native England. AS for the fair
Mrs. Shaw, she was ioundering in the
inhospitable snows of Russia waiting
for an opportunity to exhibit her curious
talent.-Chicago News.

New Fad for = Bride.

A fad" INDUCED in by the winters
bride is that OF having one of the satin
slippers or shoes in which she walked to
the chancel rail silver plated. She pre-
serves it as a cherished souvenir, and if
the slipper be small and shapely-the
average uni possesses too much tact
to have it 50 perpetuated if it be not 30
it forms an oddly pretty ornament for
the mantel ledge or cabinet. A silver
smith who has had several bridal slip
pers brought to him to be plated, says
that he has put a number of wee baby
shoes through the same process, and has
even coated smoking pipes, oyster shells
ard lead pencils-suggestive, likely, of
some special bit of omance The silver
plating is not very costly, and the senti-
ment bids fair to be soon INDUCED In
generally.-Table Talk.

An oBIIRrnR Young Indian.

Two young women were alone one
day when a young Indian brave whom
they knew came to see the man of the
house. The man was away, and the In
dian sat down to wait for him. During
this interval the girls, being of a lively
turn, began asking him questions about
his former mode of life. Among other
things they asked him to give a war
whoop and show them how he scalped
people, but he gave no answer.
Some time after when they were talk
ing of other subjects, and had forgotten
all about him, he sprang up suddenly,
gave a war whoop that made the house
top ring; then snatching a big knife that
lay on the table with one hand, he took
the top knot of one OF the girls in the
other, and ran the back of the knife
around her scalp. They were each
scalped in this manner, and were nearly
frightened put of their wits, but he sat
down and began to laugh, and told them
he had only done what they had asked
him to do. They soon recovered from
the shock and laughed heartily at the
Indians joke.-Yankton Cor. Springfield

old Dres.s. Worn Again.

At a pink dinner en- costume given
last week to twelve ladies Of social prom
inence n of the guests wore the actual
toilet in which she appeared at a recep-
ton thirty years ago. 1t was the height
Of the fashion at that time. The dress
was a magnificent one of heavy old rose
silk. with trimmings Of Honiton lace.
1t was cut away in the neck. with vol
luminous sleeves, full gathered skirt and
immense hoops. She wore a headdress
to match, mitts, and carried a bag. Her
pink kid CATERS were long and slender,
and laced on the inside. Another guest
wore a genuine gown Of her g~reat-great-
great-grandmother's. This was a white
silk, with clusters of brilliant flowers on
a brocaded ground, and was worn with
a petticoat Of another shade, to which a
large Gainsborough hat corresponded in
color. Old laces and jewels completed
the costume, and its wearer, as did her
ancestor, adorned her fair face with
numerous patches of court plaster in star
and other designs.
With those gay toilets a perfect Quaker
costume admirably contrasted. The ex-
quisite pearl gray gown and poke bonnet
were made by a New York modiste, and
were worn by a very beautiful New Jer-
sey woman. Lady Washington assisted
at the dinner, personated by a stately
dame, and a Spanish senorita in corn
color and black sat next to n Turkish
lady of high degree. Childhood in a
white frock, long faxen curls, baby
slippers and wide brimmed hat was also
present. The feast was a famous one.
No men were asked, and now the latter
want the dinner repeated with cards for
the husbands.-Her Point of View in

Glove dealers rejoice in the increas-
ing popularity OF light gloves for all oc-
casions-expert shopping and travelling.
The dressed kid, in pearl color with wide
black stitching, is the choicest glove of
the season for nice wear. The Suede
mousquetaire, in light beige, ecru, pearl,
and lavender is the neIt choice. Light
gloves are clearly out of place for morn
ing wear, and the only use they can be
put when old age overtakes them is to
transform them by mean of the dyer's
art into darker gloves for common wear.
Delicate gray oil light tan is an excellent
choice for a light glove, as it harmon
lies with all costumes. - New York
