Special Letter TO the Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-One of the few
satisfactions in life is the small but
comforting satisfaction of saying, Il
told you So" This is perhaps more
valuable comfort to the journalist
than to any one whose prophecies and
predictions are not printed. The journal
iSt is NAN of great courage and dar-
ing; he sits Ofttimes in All obscure out
of-the-world garnet and writes of things
and people which have never come
within the rauge of his personal expert
ence. He writes of the ''madding
crowd when he is far, far from it. He
may be summed up, in short, as
person of imaginative powers and rict
uresque mendacity, who feeds OIL his
fellow insects. cuttings from con-
temporary journals, paragraphs that
have been cribbed. recribDed, para
phrased, hashed up and boiled down,
elaborated and furnished up, are
often all that form his knowledge
of the world. What wonder, then, if,
when he sees his cautious, contradict
ing two-sideo statement, with its three
adjective descriptions and negative as
SertionS, come to pass-what wonder,
then, that he should read the fulfill
ment OF his prophecies with chuckle
Of triumph and an inward shout of Il
told you SOP Although we do not lay
claim to that talent which weaves tales
of royalty and nobility by the light OF a
Kerosene lamp and produces descrp-
ton OF turtle soup hanquets OH the
strength of q bread and cheese supper,
we remember predicting the future alli-
ance of Prince Albert Victor and Prin-
cess Victoria Of Tcck quite year ago,
and we should perhaps feel it an evil
dence of our peculiar foresight if 1t was
not that being III touchwith English au-
therltIes we have every means of obtain
ing information on points like this. From
all that we hear the union will be Il
happy one, although the admiration of
the English public is given 10 the lady,
and the prince, cuts out sorry picture
in journalistic congratulations. Red
fern has made many gown for the
young princess and says that she is the
handsomest specimen of English roy
atty now Ill existence, and particularly
charming and unaffected in manner.
She is stylish but simple dresser, and
delights IN tailor-made gowns of light
materials which suit her blonde beauty.
Blondes do not always understand
that at night they should wear dark
colors, and by day light ones. Black
velvet jet, net OF chiffon, in their rich
duskiness. are all things which the
blondes may wear at night time with
success. Applique trimming. outlined
with jeweled gimp, is very recent
and stylish establishment for evening
gowns The fashionable colors for
night are pink. net heliotrope. sky blue,
and peachy color winch is as yet uil-
christened. japanese crepe is a material
much used for the young; chiffon is
still worn as an evening trimming. Mole
skin is taking the place of velvet and
plush with leading modistes. and small
beads are much used as edging for the
same. Russian blouSes OF cloth with
sleeves of velvet or with the order re-
versed and cloth sleeves to velvet
blouse, are seen worn with stylish
gowns; belts of pointed shape are gen.
orally worn with these bouses, and
thus there is an opening for every kind
of buckle and ornament. Rhine stones,
enamel, oXydiZed silver and steel are
the favorite materials for these buckles.
though i'll some very rich toiletteS we
have seen them made OF gold.
