"Only to See Her Face" and the Youth With
wistful Eyes.
From the Boston Herald.
A street band, consisting Of harp, flute
ard two violins, made such unusually good
music on West street the other evening that
a great crowd was beguiled into stopping and
listening to it. The musicians seemed care
full to suit all tastes. They played maggie
Murphy's Home" and Mendelssohn's Spring
Song" .'The Party at Odd Fellows Hall
and Loves Dreamland Waltzes," 'WLlst,o
and Wait for Katie and the '.Prison Song"
from I'll Trovatore" with equal fervor and
impartiality, and after every three or four
tunes the chief musician canvassed the
crowd, hat in hand. On one of these rounds
he was stopped by tall young fellow who
stood in tho shadow Of store doorway. The
young man threw coin into his hat and
whispered a few words to him. and the musi-
clan, after a moments thought, nodded his
head and went back to his orchestra. He gave

and brings a pleasant lump into his throat, and
1t had its effect ON the crowd. Some of those
who stood near the tall young fellow in the
doorway looked at him and smiled, half humor-
ously, half sympathetically.

But the young fellow did NOT hear them.
He stood smiling also, half 'wistfully, and his
eyes. ranging over the heads of the musicians
and tho crowd, seemed fixed on some vague
spot in the distance.

sort Of cIlt The fashionable American
lady Is rarely willing to accept the latest French
styles without considerable change and modi-
fcation- This fact proves New York to be a
genuine capital with modes and manners OF Its
own.
Now that the season is at its height the
woman of fashion is to be seen at her very best
and can't help noting that ball, dinner and
reception dresses have steadily maintained
their simplicity Of makeup. relying upon the
elegance OF material to attain fine effects.
In the initial illustration, for instance, you
will possibly be struck by the simple style IN
which the gown is garnitured and set of. and
yet the effect is altogether charming, for 1t
would be difficult to find more lovely gown
than this very one-a pale blue satin with
collar in pleated cream silk gauze and rlches

satins Louis Nv brocades and the heavy Louis
