ously so OH the occasion. Her glib remark
caused me to be doubtful, as she was one of
the fair sox about whom men rave, while her
arched, expressive face and eyes, in which a
lurking suspicion of firt dwelt, made
me wonder at her devotion TO her SEX
Women like admiration; 1t is point not to
be disputed and the homliest OF them smile
| and smirk If masculine hovers around.
| Perhaps our fair friend saw some appre-
citation for herself In our eyes, for we we're
| actually fascinated ct every word that fell
from her lips, and actually forgot to be
jealous
How many things women can discuss to
be sure! Are they ever at loss, men say,
for conversations Not when fashions
domain is SO bewildering, and the pros and
cons of arguments are waiting for them.
The Manhattan Athletic Club threw
open its hospitable doors to the ladies
| short time ago. The youth, beauty and
fashion that one beheld in its luxurious
rooms was enough to make the head fairly
swim. Every new conner, lady, Of course,
| stood the test of critical eyes, aud those
fair ones who were confident of their ap-
| pearance, stylish costume and graceful
carriage, moved in, / assure you, calmly
| and serenely.
Bonnets bonnets, bonnets! Was there
ever such an array, heard a man say, and
as my eye roamed around the restaurant
! aud scanned each small table at which
number Of the fair sex sat, L agreed with
| one who said that becoming bonnet was
the GROWING success to a woman.
Jet hats, ad-brimmed. graceful and
coquettishly curved, were the preference,

rose and crimson were snugly tucked in
somewhere to relieve the all>black effect
and light the complexion or hair of the
wearer.
Nine. Emma Eames has attracted both
the eye and the ear of the public. She is a
| charming woman and her youth and her
beauty are not to be questioned. At many
musical societies and entertainments, she
has appeared, and her presence creates
quite furore, if one observes the craning
necks and kindling eyes that hail her
coming.
A prima donnal What magic in the
word
Women that have never turned tune
are now warbling, or trying to, suatches of
Lohengrin, Faust and other operas in which
the charming Cantatrice appears. Some

the fair authors and we must not be SUR
prised at anything she does.
"How beautifully the famous Miss
Cayvan's dresses hang" heard a woman
say SOME time ago. And indeed, | agreed
| with her, and conceived an ardent admira-

pronounced her sensible on the spot.
Dainty scarfs OF lace and satin are again
used fer the decoration OF dinner tables, the
favorite ones being of boiling cloth, with
hand-painted sprays aud vines, trailing
from one end TO another. Ferns, truly
growing from silver jardinieres, are still
used, and the fresh green effect is just BIZ
of nature in which the eye delights.
A conversation ran round q table the
other day, concerning the ages of various
singers that had appeared before the New
York public, and every man was confident
that the women mentioned we're five or si1
years older than they ackno wledged. 1t woulC
not have been SO bad, il they had moi
finished with the assertion that they
