What Ball Room Decorations Cost.

Little more than twenty years ago
one hundred or one hundred and
twenty-five dollars was considered
an extravagant amount to pay for dec
orations for ball in London. In 1871
the great Juror for elaborate floral dec
Grafton began, and was instigated by
the late Sir Edward Scott, who gave up
his house for three days to his florist,
with carte blanche orders to charge
what he liked, the only stipulation be-
ing that the handsomest decorations Of
the season must be produced Every
body initiated this extravaganza, one Of
the most elaborate examples being the

marked at that price, and II wasn't
| bad quality, either. To be sure, II was
not of so close and fine a texture as
some marked higher; but with reason

| last two seasons. The low price Of the
! goods permits a rather considerable
outlay for velvet, which is the only
trimming the dress viii have. There
must be enough, in the first place, for
a velvet yoke. To this yoke is fastened
the bodice proper, put on the yoke in

in blouse, which is confined at the
waist by a broad velvet band. This
band crosses in the front. and runs up
to the shoulders, narrowing as it rises,
and ornamented with a small bow at
each end. The collar is standing, and
not very high. The sleeves are full,
with velvet cuffs. The skirt is plain
with a short train, and is edged with
two narrow puffs of the same material.
This costume would cost very little,
and would look quite handsome All
that would be needed besides seven or
eight yards of material would be the
yard and a quarter of velvet for the
trimming.
Here is another that could be made
up quite as reasonably. The cut of the
dress is princess, and it has, of course, a
train. The skirt is edged with two
tiny ruffies. The waist is plain and
tight fitting, and has simply three bands
of narrow ribbon in the front, running
diagonally. These velvet bands also
trim the sleeves very prettily if artistic
ally placed around the cuff and at the
elbow. The belt and the standing col
lar, with little ruche heading are
both of bengaline, the same shade as
the dress.
Here is one which, however, | regret
to say, costs more to make up, for it re-
quires two different materials. The
train, the ruffle at the bottom of the
skirt and the bodice are all of one mate
rial; plaid diagonal stripe is the best,
and if silk thread runs through it, all
the better. This costume, too, is in one
piece from shoulder down in front. 1t
is plated in at the waist under bodice
of round cut. The train is all of the
diagonal material, and over it on each
side falls the plain material of the
dress. The front looks very handsome
edged with band of velvet or passe-
menterie that runs up each side, sep
arating the train and the skirt proper.
Under this edge of velvet, at the bot
tom, should fall narrow edge of
the diagonal material Over each Shout

one sees so much on the Russian

to establishing a harmony between the
dress and its wearer. Study colors,
therefore if you would look well.
Avoid striking contrasts, If You are I'M
able to procure several dresses for every
season. For a combination suit two
shades of one color is much better taste
than contrast, if the suit is to be worn
very often. And should advise having
the color rather unassuming and non
eommittal; for have you not felt an ut

and. perhaps, the third time she wore
it, but which, after that, was very disa-
greeable to the eye? For this reason, q
quiet shade is much more desirable.
Now. about the cost of the goods. The
material am going to make this first
dress Of is cheviot, and it costs exactly
twenty cents q yard Now, don't say

under the bodice and fall long, fully
half way down the skirt.
If one objects to cheviot on the
ground of its weight and warmth there
are plenty of other materials at not
very much higher price. Crepon, for
instance, that on its arrival in our city
cost us between 50 and So yard, per-
fectly plain, can now be had-and a
very good quality it is, too-for IS
cents. Still, if one is inclined to be ex-
travagant, there is yet plenty in the
market for 81 and So yard. Then there
are those combination suitings, which
come in very beautiful colorings, in
stripes so fine and gradual in their
shading that they melt one into the
other. They are very wide and can be
bought for % cents a yard. 1t is an
economy to get them. They can be
made up with but little extra trim
ming and are so fine and soft that they
can be worn even on occasions where
one desires to look particularly nice.
The soft old rose and dull greens are
the very prettiest in this material.

The private fortune of the emperor of
Austria may be reckoned at $40, O00, 900.
KING HUMBERr of Italy is an amateur
cook as well as an expert fireman, and
it is said that he can manipulate grill

THE prince and princess of Monaco
have been quietly and unostentatiously
in London for some time. The princess
likes English things and English ways,
and is herself tall and fair, and in man
ner much like an English woman.

the duke of Clarence in the chancel of
Sandringham church, and the queen in

seasons of the year when
bargains in certain goods can best be
obtained For instance, all the wise
virgins possessed of but limited means
who had the courage to walk out on
Easter in their old garments, and re-
frain from buying any spring goods
until after that festive day, are now
well repaid for their sacrifice The
stores are crowded with table after
table full of spring goods, displayed at
prices that would amaze one. And
they're not common material either
Most of them are cheviots in some form
or other, soft and agreeable to the
touch. They can be had in all the pretty,
indetinable light shades that are SO
rauch worn at present, pale blue gray,
dark iron gray, pinlly fawn, genuine
fawn and soft mixed colors The checks
are pretty also, but not, to my mind, 50
effective as the plain colors.
Now let me plan few costumes from
those cheviots. l think l can bring
them down within the means of almost
every woman, for have given the SUBJ
jeet rather careful consideration, to say
nothing of the eXpediencies to which
myself have been put on one or two oc-
casions. l shall start at the bottom of
the ladder, viz: with the very lowest
priced spring costume that | can plan,
And here let me remark, by the way,
that these same spring costumes are
not going to look poor or cheap in the
least; for, after all, the material from
which dress is made is only minor
consideration. 1t is the similarity of
the style to the figure that wears it, the
cut, the fit and, last of all, the color,
that makes or mars the costume. Have
the dress correct on these points and
your material will be pretty sure to
look well if it is of a moderately good
quality Be particular about the color
and the shade of the color; for be
your dress made up ever SO fash
ionably, it will not look well
if the shade is unbecoming. SO many
people buy thing because it is such a
lovely shade" But, alas. it may look
far from lovely" when made up and
worn, unless careful attention is paid

: VAIN CREATURE.
A Little Animal with a Tail Like spun
Gold.


At Devils Bite, that oddly named
ehasm in Wyoming, says the St. Louis
Republic. and there alone, is found the
golden gopher or golden guide, COM
monty called the ''fieck o. gold" The
little fellow undoubtedly belongs to
the gopher tribe. and is of a general
golden hue. representing the various
shades of that precious metal from the
duller colors of its native state to the
brilliancy given by the stamp at the
mint. The duller colors are blended on
the body, while the brighter ones
spread along the back and tail of this
curious little rodent, the tail being the
''fieck o COLDS chief pride and wonder
of the beholder.
This tail is fifteen inches in length
more than three times as long as the
little animal of which it is dazzling
continuation, and CLEANS and glistens
as if made Of the pure Furnished metal
itself The tail of the feck o. gold is
continually IN action; an action which
has no apparent purpose except that of
display, the jerks and writhes, curls
and twists seeming to be solely intend
ed as means of displaying the caudal
appendage to the best advantage. That
the flecl1 O. gold is vainglorious of its
tail there is but little room to doubt,
for he has been seen to wrap it many
times around his tiny body, transpos-
ing himself into ball of FURNISHED
bullion, and then roll over and over,
seemingly in perfect joy and delight.
