semblage to jail.
Our two young observers were in the
throng, Tor both, IL must be remembered,
. belonged TO the select circles OF New York
The subject Of their morning conversation
was dancing, arrayed in all the gIories of
full evening dress The skirt of Nile-graen
silk hung gracefully about her form, but
the bodice, horror Of horrors! though ex-
quisitely gotten up Of green aud old gold,
was fashioned after the manner OF her bath
ing suit. The lovely dimpled back was the
the most conspicuous object IN the room,
and many matron whose own days of
beauty we're in the long gone past, shud-
dered at the sight and said: How can
Miss L. dance with men while wearing such
an indelicate costume!n
In the meantime. the young woman
danced on, aud after the ball one of her
admirers threw a crepe shawl over her
shoulders and the twain ate supper in the
Casino.
A stay of two weeks at Narragansett
convinced one of the young men from New
FORK that the dresses worn by the south
ern beauty had a mOnotOnOus samenass
about them. There were many of them of
various textures aud colors, but all alike
were cut backed. She took part in a
charity performance and as she swayed
hither and thither the highly polished white
back shone out prominently.

morning. her neglgee gown was square
and low IN the back.
Thought he: "Some women pride them
selves on their eyes, their hair, their teeth
Others their necks, arms and shoulders;
and still others on their cleverness aud in
Uellect. She is the first woman have ever
seen whose back was evidently her for
tune"
It is absurd, says the New York Times,
that fashion should dictate from time TO
time, as she does and is now doing, that
| chatelaine bags shall not be worn, fire.
Quently the sane season mercilessly remov-
ing any vestige of a pocket from a woman's
gown. IL is more absurd that women should
/ follow the fashion but IL is failing of men
both to like to be conventional Men are
never tired of making fun Of a woman pok-
/ ing after her fare at a ticket window or in a
| crowded conveyance, but as long as one
hanging pocket lost III the fold Of her dress,
as it usually is, must hold all her belong
ings, she must make spectacle of herself at
these critical moments.
Men have innumerable pockets, aud are
thus able to devote one TO a necessity, the
little change pocket in the waistcoat or
trousers walstband seeming to worried
woman the most desirable of the lot. There
should be a pocket Reform Associa-
ton for Women" aud one of its
! rules should be that no member should be
eligible who could not at any time out of
doors show three pockets about her attire,
! each one accessible without the evolutions
of an acrobat. Following this should come
the abolition of the moustrosty known as
the ladies' purse. big ungainly thing that
cunlbers her pocket or burdens her hands,
and has no cause for being what's ever. A
tiny pouch that will fit in tiny fiat pocket
somewhere about her coat or gown will
carry change enough for a days travel :;
another small, fiat case will carry bills fold

DAYS Of G. o. D. packages is really not ne
cessary, and that is all. Purses are usually
punched out with samples, cuttings from
newspap ers, two or three rings, (could any
practice be more silly p pencil, postage
stamps, and sucn etoetera that are never in
dlspensiole in trip about the city.
Let us either insist upon our chatelaine
bags and keep them perennially fashionable
or eschew big, useless purses and have
plenty of accessible pockets like our conve-
nience-loving brothers and husbands.
A certain lawyer of this city, says the
! New Y ork Times, who is distinguished not
only in his profession, but as a man of
affairs. owns a delightful summer home in
Vermont. His neighbors there tell this
story about his youngest child, girl not
more than 10 years OF age. After much
coaxing this little girl had prevailed upon
her father to buy her a donkey and a cart.
The first day Of the donkey's arrival he was
permitted to browse on the lawn. The
child followed the little animal about and
thinking that his countenance wore an un-
commonly sad expression she cautiously ap-
preached him, and, stroking his nose gently
with her soft little hands, cooed in his ear:
Poor donkey you feel lonesome, don't
youa But never mind, papa will be here
tomorrow, and then you VIII have COM

had in the beginning OF the evening an
nounce that her youth was past and that
she intended to give up dsnsing, and just
look on, OF course, she had more invita-
tions than ever and then catching a sniff
from one of the buds, the wicked young

the corner, and you could not see her for
the number Of men about. 1t was all very
well for the girls to sniff and say she was
horrid, there were no men near them to
hear, and il the little matron did not dance,
neither did many of the other women.
Jules Simon read somewhere, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser, that a
woman who was being tried on a criminal
charge would be acquitted If she was
pretty" So he wrote to the newspapers a
letter as witty as gallant on 1.-THE Influence
Of Beauty" In the course of it be said:
'If it were said that a jury could find
only an ugly woman guilty, that would be
a great exaggeration; but who can deny,
who would dare to dispute the influence
which a womanIs beauty always wieldsl
A lovely woman OF Athens accused Of crime
