night, when the curtain fell upon her fine
and absolutely natural impersonation of

A little Chicago five-year-old (every-
thing happens in Chicago this summer)
was, according to a raconteur in the New
York Times on a suburban piazza last
week, at one time hidden by her mother
to be very good on certain evening
when the pastor and his wife were to
take tea with her parents.
You must not speak unless you are
spoken to if you really want anything
you must ask for it very prettily and
properly was the oft-repeated injunc-
tion of the mother, and the child sat
down at the table with a crushing sense
of the Importance of the occasion,
AS the meal progressed she found her
self in need Of something. The minister
sat next her, and after due consideration
she decided to appeal to him. "Mr. A, j."
she began, raising her grave blue eyes to
his face, will you please, for Christ's
sake pass me the butter?"
ooh! but you have on my dressr' said
one woman to another at a Newport
garden party, says the New York Tri-
bune.
your dress, my dearr' exclaimed the
other; SAY rather the dress of half a
dozen of our most intimate friends 1t is
the Doucet model which Nine - brought
out, and she has simply copied it right
and left; it is really most outrageous, but
what are we to dol"
There ought to be law against repeat
ing thesame gown" said another of the

were actually fifteen costumes exactly
alike, down to the minutest detail. 1t was
very hard on the women, for they were
very expensive creations, and rather con-
spicuOus, and it was quite absurd to meet
the same gown at every turn"
Eyes, it is really becoming serious
evil,n chimed in a third. Worth is noto-
rious for his cool audacity in sending re-
pleas of his robes to his American custo-
mers; and not only that but he actually
sends sometimes last years models. A
EVfriend Of mine not long ago had occasion
to take new gown which he had sent
her to her New York dressmaker for
some slight alterations: Now mind you
do not copy it, Mrs, S., she said No,
ma'am,' the woman quietly replied, I
have already made quite a number of
dresses on that model, for it is the fac
smile of one I got out last season. have
just sold it at half price, having got all
the use out of it,that was possible"
''The worst of it ALL" said the wearer
of the gown, lis that we have no protec-
ton whatever; we are obliged to put up
with any treatment that they see fit to
bestow upon US, for they know that we
cannot afford to quarrel with them. II
we do, it will be worse for us than for
them, so they simply do not care. Even
their best customers are not exempt from
this annoyance. Fancy the feelings of
Mrs Murray Hill the other day at the
Casino, when h er rival pretty Mrs Bea-
construct, of Boston, walked in in exactly
the same costume! Every one smiled, it
was impossible to help it, and they looked
as annoyed as possible. There really
ought to be some concerted action
taken to prevent this wholesale copying -
Mrs. Mackay, the wife of the silver
king, has very fine collection of nre-
ciOus stones, which are kept in cases of re-
markable beauty. One of these two feet
square, is of solid silver, and holds the
ornaments she wears and keeps for Or
binary use. The other is of gold and
three-quorters of foot square. The top
is entirely incrusted and thickly studded
with precious stones, some of which are
over carat in weight. This gold box is
tufted with royal purple velvet. There
are three trays, which are fastened in
with a patent spring, of which Mrs
Mackay alone holds the secret. When
the tiny gold key is turned to open the
box an alarm is started from small
alarm clock fitted into the inside, and
thus every precautiOn is taken to guard
the enormous value of the contents
When the Princess Colonna, Mrs Mac
kay's daughter, was married she re-
ceived from her mother a jewel case ex-
actly like the one described above.
Speaking of Edwin Booth" said an
old lady to the New York Times, reminds
me of story my husband used to tell of a
memorable encounter with the elder
Booth. He (my husband) was travelling
on horseback through the south before
our marriage when stress of weather
made him take refuge in the home of the
great actor. He was ensconced in the
guest chamber for the night, and was Just
dropping off to sleep as his unlocked door
was slowly opened. He started up to see
his host bearing aloft a candle that cast
sickly ray across the bed. Advancing
with a measured tread he asked in low
deep voice:
Have you prayed to-night2'
"The guest admitted that his devotions
had been missed.
Rise, kneel by that bedside, and say
the Lords Prayer, was the next speech.
Impressed by his manner, my husband
tumbled out of bed fell on his knees, and
repeated the words of the prayer.
" Is that all you make ont of the grand
est utteratce in literatureH cried Booth
And he dropped upon his knees, put
his palms together, and then, my husband
used to say, in voice of surprising
strength and melody, began his supplica-
ton, giving to the familiar sentences such
depths of elOquence and such richness of
meaning as they had never possessed for
him before.n
The Hungarian women are among the
most beautiful in the world. They are
not languishing, diaphonous creatures,
composed of cobwebs and the odor of
musk, with sickly pallor or a hectic
flush in their cheeks. mol Erect and
straight as a candle, hearty and vigorous
TO the core, they are pictures of good
health and Astounding vitality. They are
gifted with small feet, full arms, plump
hands with tapering fingers and wear
long braids, The sun has spread red
dish-golden tint or a darker tone over
the complexion: The Hungarian
woman is not a beauty Of classical con-
tour, not does she, perhaps, frequently
present a riddle to the psychologist, and
ethereal poets will scarcely ind theme
in her for hypersentinental reyeries.
She is rather the vigorous embodiment
of primeval womanhood. As her exterior
so her whole character is enchanuingly
