you have no idea how many of our
women Of society are spectators, ~ said a
well-known broker TO the New York Trib-
une, land plucky ones, too, taking their
losses and gains with all the cool stoi-
cism OF old gamblers. During the great
slump in a certain stock a month or so
ago, as I was going down to Hampstead in
the train and was deep in the last edition,
l felt myself touched on the shoulder
Turning around l saw pretty little Mrs
-, whom I have always considered
the most simple, artless little creature
Imaginable. please tell me the last quo
tation in Reading she Hsped, and as l
read it out saw by her face that it was
no idle question.
" 'Ther re goes my new spider phaeton,
she said with sigh. / can't pay for it
now; my brokerage limit was - and
was all sold outr
Sometimes husband and wife are
equally speculative. l know one couple
who live like children on a see-saw-
Now we go up, up, up,
And now we 90 down, down, down-y-
and are quite as gleeful about il. One
year madam will have her Victoria and
French clothes, and they will give charm
ing little dinners in fashionable Bohemia;
and the next year they will have a couple
of rooms at some summer hotel at Staten
Island or New Jersey, where they can
live cheap through the winter. But theyS
are always well dressed, frank, agreeable
and apparently happy whether they are
up or down"
By the way, heard the other day an
awfully clever story about Mrs. Hooker,
says Catharine Cole in her Picayune let
ter from the Chicago fair Not long ago
she was in a hotel with distinguished
lady who was about to make an address
on the subject of Goethe" One after
noon she opened this lady's bedroom door
and exclaimed abruptly: "Clara, | have
got a message for you from Goethe"
80, have you, Mrs. Hooker, - said Clara,
who, by the way, is not spiritist at all,
edo give it to me at once"
But Mrs. Hooker said she was tired
and said she would first have nap. She
dropped off to sleep, and when she awoke
two hours later "Clara" remarked: "And
now, Mrs. Hooker, for the message from
Goethe"
''Wen, my dear" said the medium,
yawning,, sit has just this moment oc-
CURED to me l can't give it to you-for l
don't know German!n
A magnificent exhibit in the woman's
department at the worlds fair is mad lie /
by the Misses Healey of Washington of
gOld-covered china 1t is lovely to look
upon and is said to be the finest gold COW
oring process known. The Tiffanys of
New York have offered these two women
500 600 for the recipe or formula of their
process. Another suggestive exhibit in
which a new means of earning a livei-
hood is described, is the cartoon work of
designs for stained-glass windows. There |
is one grand triple design that has been |
accepted for an altar window for a New
York church IT merely represents angels.
This sort of designing am told, is very
remunerative.
The Princess of Wales, says the New
York Tribune would be much handsomer
if she would refrain from building up her
hair into an apparently solid mass on top
of her head. A slightly lower and less
compact arrangement would be much !
more becoming, yet even with this draw
back she is a handsome woman and as
tonishly youthful in appearance for a
grandmother. There was an amusing
story told during her recent Roman visit
OF an acquaintance of hers-a lady who !
had not seen the princess in some years
She sought an audience. and when the
princess approached her became confused
and lost her presence of mind. She
thought one of the young princesses was
by some mistake preceding her queenly
mother.
A southern woman, says the New York
Times, has invented an invalid tray which
is something of a novelty. Il is silver
plated, with a small reservoir beneath for
hot water. Each plate cup, and pot or
pitcher has corresponding depression in
which it stands to keep it in place and hot
until used.
The hight of foolish extravagan seems
to be achieved in monogram" peaches,
told about by an exchange. The mono
gram is cut in paper, which is pasted on
the peaches while growing, Afterward,
when the peach is ripe, the paper is
stripped off, leaving the design in a differ
ent tint of peach bloom. Such fruit, so
maltreated, was, it is said, fashionably
unreasonable luxury offered at recent
dinner,
After the gay season is over, says the
New York Tribune, certain members of
the smart set console themselves for the !
want of excitement in one direction by
introducing another kind OF dissipation, |
which is nothing more nor less than regu- |
lar gambling, although it is not brutally
designated by such an appellation The |
temptation comes In the form of a dainty
little note with pretty monogram of the |
Christian name of the hostess and a faint |
odor of violets. "Will you dine with us
sans facon and take a hand at game of
cards afterward2" writes my lady in
friendly fashion. But let the impecunious
one beware, for the invitation means
pretty high plaY-quite too high indeed, |
for any but those whose pockets are well
lined
They play every night at Mrs. KS and |
at Mrs, rs, y said a young man ruefully |
who could i'll afford such expensive little |
reunions ''And it is quite understood |
among that crowd that where you go to |
cine you remain to gamble.n
''Wait a moment" said woman the |
other afternoon to her companion, as they |
were hurrying through a New York side |
street; ''do you smell that coffee2" and |
she stopped Eyes, but what of it2" was
the rather impatient reply; tits some |
bodys dinner coffee and makes me want |
my owns"
80, wait" pleaded the other, this cof-
fee has a flavor that is new, yet old, TO |
me. 1t makes me think of the church So |
ciety days of my childhood, when the best |
china was ont and the DarlOr was open, |
