ton was attracted to the boyish dele
gate from Cortlandt, and an acquain-
tarce began which ripened into q
friendship that remained unbro6en
ever afterward.
At the age Of tventy-one Mr. Lamont
received the democratic nomination for
clerk OF Cortlandt county, ind, though
his opponent was one of the most popu-
Lar men in that firmly republican dis
trict, he came within few votes Of re-
versinE the majority that had stood for
years at 1,6o0 for the republicans In
1874 Gov. Tiiden made Lamont deputy
clerk of the assembly. Later he became
chief clerk of the state department un-
der Mr.. John Bigelow. Mr.. Tildsn con-
tinued TO extend to him marks of his
confidence and personal esteem. and he
was always among the carefully chosen
body Of heutenants whom the great
statesman kept under his eye. In the
state campaign of 1876. which was di-
rected BY Mr.. Tilden. Lamont was Sec
retary Of the sta tc committee.
After the close of the Inflated cam
paign Of 1875 Lamont went to Albany
and acquired from Mr.. Daniel Manning
an interest in the Albany Argus. This
did not, however, rob him Of his interest
in politics He occupied himself closely
with the fortunes of the New York
democracy, and during the frequent
journeys all over the state under the
direction of Mr., Tilden he became ao-
quainted with every chief and Heuten-
ant in the wonderful organization that
defeated Mr.. Cleveland in 1883, and
would have done the same Ia 1899 if it
had dared. Cleveland and Lamont met
for the first time shortly after the
formers first nomination for governor.
just before Cleveland's Inauguration as
governor Mr.. Lamont was offered the
post of military secretary Of bis staff
and that place brought him the title Of
colonel" which he has since worn.
Subsequently he became the governors
private secretary. He continued in that
position with Cleveland during his en-
tire term of Office as governor, and
when the man of destiny went TO Wash
ington in 1884 Lamont continued TO
serve him in the Esme capacity. After
Mr.. Cleveland's defeat in 1888 Lamont
went to New YORK city and engaged in
the conduct and supervision of various
street railways, then owned by William
C Whitney and Oliver Fl. Payne. He
has prospered in that calling, and by
this time has certainly acquired a CON-
petence.

yoke of fine passementerie, wrought In
light, delicate shades. Across this is
drawn loose folds of crepe. crossing at
the left side and caught with another
velvet bow. Beneath is the tight-fit-
ting bodice, belted in by pretty cameo
belt. The sleeves are not only soft
puffs, but have an additional puff
above, hanging loosely.
The other gown is, if anything, moro
unique. It is made of that light, new
blue shade and the skirt has three
small ruffles at the feet. All around the
skirt are laid great leaves of lace, start
ing from the waist line about one inch
wide, widening as they descend. until
they are goodly width when they
reach the lower edge. The lace is most
beautiful, fine and of exquisite design.
The lace appears in the bodice as well,
widening up from the waist line into
smaller leaves, which lie over the large
yoke, made Of very fine silk shirrings.
These shirrings are Of blue to match

row Of fine pearl trimming. The mar
row belt Is also pearl. The sleeves are
very wonderful; the shirrings are SO
caught up that each division hangs
over in a small ruffie or loose puff, and
there are thirteen of these little puffs
on each sleeve.
