Our distra1t hostesses in New York
have hit upon q scheme which promises
to leave them with fewer gray hairs at
the end Of the season, and this is the
national park Quadrille, which is danced
by four gentlemen and eight ladies.
Emergency" quadrille would be bet
ter name fer the innovation which
every wise hostess will doubtless intro
duce just before supper, so that each
| gentleman will take the two ladies to
| the supper room, and one of the prob
lens il social economics, the surplus
woman, will find happy solution.
Wellesley, Mount Holyoke and Vassar
girls registered this year aud voted &C.
cording TO the Australian system They
have had their political rallies, listened
TO campaign eloquence, studied the
platforms OF their respective parties,
and probably understood considerably
better why they cast their votes than
do some Of their brothers whose votes
will be counted.
The English magazine Women pro-
pounds as question for competitive
answers, Would you rather marry a
man whom you entirely love but whose
love for you you are not sure Of, or a
man who entirely loves you but whose
love you do not thoroughly recipro-
cate?" And the editor of the Woman's
Tribune answers it, Yankee fashion, by
prOpOunding another, Would you rath-
er lie or steal? ?"
Sarah Bernhardt is writing a play
This is her first attempt at writing for
the stage, but she has already published
two books. The Voyage dune Chaise"
and the noted Marie Pigeounier," a
reply 70 Marie C5lombier's attack upon
her in the vulgar Sarah Barnum."
The wife of Pere Hyacinthe is an ar
list of considerable merit, and will con-
tribute her medalliOns to the Worlds
Fair. She advocates opening the fair
on Sundays, and recommends that the
building of liberal arts be used as sa-
cred concert hail on Sundays.
Since the government in Belgium has
absorbed the telephone business, life
has taken on q serioug aspect to the
telephone girl. All operators are re-
quired TO pass an examination in Elem
iSh, French, German, English aud ge-
Ography, and must be able to draw
complete map Of Europe. Many Of
the women already employed will be
obliged TO give up their places, for ii is
impossible to learn these languages in
three months and answer "hellOS" at
the same time.
The admirers Of "The Silence OF Dean
Maitland" can scarcely fancy the writer
Of the strong, earnest story to be
woman rather than man, aud a sick
woman besides. The story was written
by Miss Tuttrell, a delicate girl who
was obliged to do most of the work up
on her couch, distressed by most in
tense suffering. The three novels since
then, by which she is best known, have
been also written amid most dlScour-
aging conditions.
Several women in New York are suc-
ceeding in the real estate business, and
two are regular members Of the Ex-
change.
The fashionable couture, when It is
not French, is distinctly early English
in type. The front of the hair is part
ed and fuffed out on either side to look
very broad, the fringe which is reduced
to a few light curls on the forehead, be-
ing parted as well, and the whole mass
waved and twisted loosely IN coil at
the back of the neck. The much-tslked-
of chignon is as yet a harmless undis-
figured style, which it is to be hoped
will never attain its former undesirable
proportions.
Now that every one has velvet
sleeves, the new craze is for satin
sleeves, and they are frequently white.
At a dinner recently was worn picture
gown OF dark green velvet in which the
round sleeves were Of white satin, and
q richly wrought Charles l. collar OF
white and gold was turned down over
the neck.
Collarettes Of bright ribbon plated,
or of two ruflies of silk scolloped on the
edges and buttOnholed with cOlored
silk, are worn TO brighten dark house
dresses, and long bows Of chiffon,
shirred and tucked into shape, come in
all bright tints for indoor wear.
Brunettes will have a decided advan-
tage over fair women this winter for the
new colOrs, so delightfully."- rich and
warm as they are, will not be particu-
larly becoming to blondes. The rich
new tint that verges on purple, the in
describable new pink called petunia, and
most of the fashionable green's and vio-
lets REQUIRE dark hair and olive skins to
hiring out their beauty 70 perfection.
