Let me tell you little tale of a gown.
It is mine, and it is blue and meant for
street wear. I got it on the 18th of
September On the 1st of October I
had new binding put to it. In the
middle of October I had another, and
November ! a third. In ten weeks the
frOck has been rebottomed five times
No wonder the dressmakers and seam
stresses like the long gown fashion, but
never was a style conceived that was
more filthy, wasteful and disgusting
The Thanksgiving dances brought
out some pretty evening dresses. At
Tuxedo pretty Philadelphian won any
amount Of admiration for her tiny blue
slippers and her pale blue chiffon dress
with its side pieces Of moss green velvet
faced with pink, and its full chiffon
bodice, velvet banded. Strange color
combinations are allowed this winter
for she wore the wraith-like yellow
witch hazel blossoms in her hair and at
her bosom; they Topped her skirt draper
les also
Miss Drexel, who was married last
week, has a peculiarly graceful pink
wearing gown in her trousseau. The
skirt is Of pink satin, with a white
satin ruche at bottom threaded
with lines of silver passementerie.
The bodice is a white satin corse-
let, silver embroidered and with q
glimpse Of pink chiffon showing above.
Over the bosom is a big white satin
bow. The sleeves are three puffs each
of chiffon tied about with white rib
bons.
Another novelty is q creamy brown
evening silk for Helen Gammeu. the
rich Rhode Island belle. This skirt is
fully FIVE yards wide and is padded on
the hips to accentuate the slimness Of
the waist. A brown velvet corselet is
cut out in vandykes and worn over a
full cream colored bodice and under
when the music stopped and a carriage
was called-a long white brocade wrap
figured with brownish pink roses and
edged with sable fur. The black against
the white was startling.
What is there new in black? All
elderly women are interested in the
question. Little, truly. Black watered
silk is worn a good deal, with Jet girdle
and heavily jetted sleeves. The black
velvet polonaise is revived and makes

Only one remained behind
Out Of sll those merry fellows

Only one was truly nobls,

Poorly fed. and meanly clad:
But his heart Was big with pity

With roughened hand, but kindly,
He appraised the frightened child.

From her apron crushed and soiled;
Gathered up the scattered fragments,
Freed them from the elm ging earth;
And the care bestowed upon them
Told how well he knew their worth

Mrs. Pierre Lorillard has had lot of

this accounts for the heavy purple cloak

answer was that he had had everything
stolen from him, even his violin. Then
Vidocq asked him if he had five franc
piece He then told him to go to Fras-
cats and to lay his wager upon the red
color, and that he would win He did
so and won eight hundred francs. A
lady was about to draw it in when the
man at the counter said: mo, it does
not belong to you, madam, it belongs to
this pale young man" and of he went
with his eight hundred francs in his
pocket and was happy. This sum was
at that time large one in Paris, and it
was of great service to my father.
While he was playing in Russia the
sad news of his fathers death came to
him. That night the favored people Of
St. Petersburg heard him play SIS he had
rarely played before. The sad inteIli-
gence impressed him deeply and seemed
to give him a new inspiration. He was
spiritualist and he had the conviction
that his fathers spirit had descended
upon his own and reinforced its native
power.
Ny father was born violinist. As a
child he initiated the motions of a fd-
der with two sticks, accompanying his
movements by humming the air that
was passing in his mind. Later he be-
gan to take lessons on the violin during
his visits to his uncle's house. Ny
gre at uncle played the violoncello, and
while he performed my father, then a
little boy, used to lie in the great cello
case and listen. His first instructor
was a gentleman who was as much de-
voted to the flask as to the violin. He
used to play in quartettes at the house
Of my fathers uncle. One evening he

had been imbibing too freely, and my
father, half in jest, was invited to take
his part, which he did, to the great
amusement of the audience; upon which
his uncle gave him new violin SIS re-
ward for his skill.
Over twenty years ago, when father
played for the New York Philharmonic
society, after the presentation of silk
flag, combining the Norwegian and
American emblems, magnificent en-
erald ring was sent by Mr.. Edwin
Booth to be returned to the one he es-
teemed to be the rightful owner, Ole
Bull.
The ring had been given to Mr.. Booth
after performance of Hamlet" by
lawyer, who said he had received it
from Mr. Ole Bull
After accepting the ring from his
dear, beloved friend, Prof. r. Ogden
Doremus, the president of the Philhar-
monte society, farther narrated the his
tory of the ring, which he had received
thirty years before in st. Petersburg.
Early Sunday morning following the
concert he called on Prof. Doremus, and
in a most enthusiastic manner asked
'how it would do for him to offer to
play for Mr.. Booth at his theater be-
tween the acts?"
At the following Philharmonic con-
cert Mr. Edwin Booth read Byron's
Manfred" at the Academy of Music
The large orchestra of over one hundred
performers played Schumann's music,
and the Liederkranz society and various
artists sang.
The society offered to repeat the mu-
sic at Mr.. Booths theater. Prof. Do

Mr.. Alexander Bull, son Of the great Nor

himself great performer and possesses the
grand old Joseph Guarnerius violin that his
father so loved and frmort3lized. He plays
with depth Of feeling that reminds one of Ole
Bull and get with an individuality that IS not

about to visit his Norwegian countryrnen OF the
west and VIII take with him the remarkable
instrument his father gave him

eTity with his playing l am almost per-
suaded that he exercised species of
hypnotism with his violin. There Is a
tradition that very few people could
hear him render such a piece, for
Instance, as Home, Sweet Home" or
his own composition entitled "a
Mothers Prayer" without being moved
to tears. Keenly as he felt the ravish-
ment Of thronging audiences and great
as was his power upon the platform I
do not think that he was ever at his
best outside his own home. I remember
during his intervals of rest from pro-
fessional labor he used frequently to re-
tire with his family to Vatestrand, our
old family country seat in rural Nor
way, near Bergen. Here, under his
own roof and in the midst of his fam
lily, his soul seemed to gather peculiar
inspiration. Often in the gray twilight
I have sat and listened with rapture l
shall never forget to the strains that he
alone could draw from his favorite in
strument while we who listened were
carried away to higher spheres. At
times his lofty flights of thought and
passion stirred me so deeply that before
knew it the sound OF my own sobbing
awoke me to my senses. Philosophers
may attempt to account for this extraor-
binary power with learned theories, but
to me it was delightful hypnotism.
There was woman in Spain who,
during one of his performances, fell so
completely under his mastery as to be-
tray all the outward signs of mesmer-
ism. My father was a man of immense
physical strength, and from this have
