A Funny Sort of a Place.

Spsetal CorrsspoGdence or the Sunday Rsotstsr.
SwINEF1ELD BRIDGE, n. j., May A.
While sitting on the veranda OF the
chief hotel of Swinefeld Bridge the
other day the conversation happened to
turn upon the subject OF travel and the
peculiarities Of different places and the
habits of their people.
zone of the funniest places / was
ever in said a nan with a long white
roatee. twas ~Siasconset, Mass. have
heard all you have said about Babylon,
Long Island, and Manunka Chunk,
n. J.. but Siasconset is so Tar ahead Of
them for funny things that they are not
ft to be mentioned with IL In the same
century"
"What is there that is so funny about
Il anyhow?" inquired a thin man who
was sitting against the house on the
hind legs Of his chair.
Everything about 1t was so funny
that | don't think there was anything
connected with II that was really seri-
ous. Now, for instance, there used to
he a grocer down there who sold cigars
cheaper slngly than by the box. Just
think of paying 5 cents apiecefo cigars
and being able TO get the same weeds
from the same man for 81 a box"
They all admitted that they had never
heard of such a thing before, and the
old man with the white goatee felt en-
couraged 10 CONTINUES: AND then the
procers and butchers down there have
business hours just as great medical
speclalists have Office hours. These
tradespeople have signs Offering the In
formation that they are open from 8 TO
II a. m. and from 2 10 . D. M, and they
have no ambition or business enterprise.
All places OF business close on the day

well try to get railroad information out

tipped back on its hind legs.
.sTbey were the kind Of people when
was there who chew smoking tobacco
and smoke the weed set apart for
chewing. And yet they are not any
oueerer than the place itself. The
streets are so narrow and the houses
so low that you can't walk ou. at night
without tripping over a rooftree q

Another exceedingly pretty wash
dress is a violet spriHged lawn or or
candle, which has broad lace insertions
run on over green ribbon matching the
tint on the tint violet leaves. The waist
is formed entirely of the rows of inser-
ton and strips of the sheer muslin
sewed together and fulled on the Shout
der and at the belt. The sleeves have
two fulled founces at the top, with a
row of insertion in each one, and the
pretty, cool effect is enhanced by having
the lining cut low in the neck, whether
il is of white lawn or of shoot green and
violet taffetta.
Daintiest and lightest of all summer
fabrics are the dotted muslins, which
are simply made, with founces OF point
d'esprit. One pretty model has a plated
yoke with an insertion Of the point lace,
rufles around the sleeves and a sash OF
shaded china ribbon showing change
able effects of green and heliotrope.
And prettiest OF all are the tea gowns
OF wash silks or lawns in light colors,
opening down the front in the old fash
toned way, with a lace ruching all the
way down the front and round the
49,
lower edge. Stripes Of green and blue
and rose on a white ground call for a
ruche of green and blue ribbon round
the edge, or little rufleS of the blue
nave a border of green with the fine
point d'esprit falling over and softening
both. The little gown reproduced has
a yoke of fine sheer muslin over a lining
of blue and a petticoat of the same fine
material, showing through c%rossbands
of lace insertion the color Of the lining.
But these little gowns are also made in
challis or crepon, and are worn over the
pretty silk pe%tticoats that are now the
luxurious essentials of every woman's
wardrobe. Soft printed cashmere, or
plain light woods are made up with a
yoke of strips Of ribbon in three or
more colors sewed together with care in
the arrangement OF %colors, and also are
made up with plain or figured china silk
or muslin de sole shoulder frills and
drapiugS. No summer wardrobe can be
accounted quite complete without one
GA more Of the cool and pretty china
silks that are so deservedly popular. e.

Aotuth u Ahtt Sscte Se.fI
Mr.. Palmer's stock company returned
to New York Monday night 10 wind up
the season with their more or less de-
lightful sketches. The most preten-
tious was Mercedes" the work OF
Thomas Daley Aldrich, in which the
poet forcefully describes in two acts a
single incident of the French invasion
of Spain. 1t Is the pang that a French
officer feels a. being commanded to ex-
terminate the inhabitants OF a village
where he was nursed back to health by
Mercedes, q Spanish girl, who had won
his love by her ministrations. In the
first division of the little drama, the
captain, Z. j. Henley, reposes pictur-
esQuely beside the camp fire under 3
starlit sky and tells his lieutenant,
Maurice Barrymore, of the accursed
fate OF wal hat drives him TO the little
Spanish village.
With a curtain fall the scene changes
to the peasant girls home, showing the
deserted street without and onlv Mer-
cedes and her grandmother there to be
sacrificed by the soldiery. The villagers
had poisoned the springs they had not
destroyed, but when the footing soldiers
had found some wine their lieutenant
commanded Mercedes to drink In order
to determine whether the liquor, too,
had been poisoned. With a defiant
toast to the King. she tossed of a glass,
and then, in obediance TO another
order, gave some TO her infant. The
entire command then fell to, but while
they were still drinking the babe died
and they devined the cause. At that
moment the captain appeared. and for
the first time in two years, but with the
poisoning still dampening his lips, he
met Mercedes.
The scene between Miss Julia Arthur
and MIR. Henley is a powerful one. In
il Miss Arthur showed that she had
overcome the melo-dramatic tendency
that had hitherto marred her best ef-
forts and destroyed the delicacy OF the
work. After a most pathetic exchange
of sentiment the officer and peasant
girl die together.
In esponse TO most hearty and long
continued applause Mr.. Aldrich bowed
acknowledgements 10 the audience
beaming with satisfaction that his first
dramatic venture had been such a pleas
one
The curtain raiser was Twilight"
a sketch adapted from the French by
A. e. Lancaster and Arthur Hornblow.
1t is a beautiful story of fancy that IL
is difficult to conceive could be an
actual fact.
Two Old Boys" with j.. II. Stod-
dard and 4. M. Holland, as 1.-THE boys"
finished the nights performance. The
old boys decide that one OF them shall
marry Ellen Berg, their ward, and leave
the decision TO a card game, which Mr..
Stoddard succeeds in losing. He re-
grets ii and his circumvention OF the
other old boy makes up the skit. Miss
Berg was a charming, lively and diplo-
matte ward for the old boys TO WOO and
made the most Of several delicate stu
atoms.
