Public Dinners a Bore.

Public dinners are becoming more
and more of a nuisance to professional
men, said a distinguished lawyer of this
town somewhat peevishly the other
night. "Now, why should an extremely
busy man like myself be asked to devote
several hours of valuable time to the
preparation of an address on some i'm
portant topic for free delivery before an
association in which have no particular
interest? Of course l have the privilege
Of declining, but when two or three
warm personal friends urge me to COM
ply on the ground of sociability, have
to accept or else appear surly. In con-
sequence / give up time which | can
hardly spare from my clients, am kept
up late at night and go down to business
IN the morning with headache or an at
tack of indigestion. New York Times

Meddinr Cakes, Now StYle.

Who was the inventor of the new we'd
ding cakes? Whoever he was he de-
serves immortali2ing, for his was a bril-
liant idea, one | should have been real
proud Of myself had | thought Of it. In
the wedding cake Of more ancient type
there was always a trick layer Of white
sugar which nobody cared about, u
medium layer Of almond paste which
everybod ywished for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity of cake
of which many only ate "A few crumbs.
The latest specimen has thin layer
of sugar, only just enough toll look pretty,
and underneath are alternate layers of
cake and almond paste, one as thick as
the other.
The consequence is that no one is de-
frauded of their l2wful share of almond
paste or "love,' as it is usually called,
and for purposes Of distribution it is far
better, as the contents of the box do not
crumble away nearly so much as they did
when the principal portion was cake
alone. If only some one would invent "A
box which could not be rihed and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to desire. -

SPRING GOWNS AND JACKETS

The Crinoline Advances and the blazer

The latest indications are that sprinp
coats will not exceed or even equal the
length of the average coat of the mast

been what is called ''three-ouarter
length" and have reached nearly if not
quite to the knees.
The spring coats can more properly
be called jackets, but in other respects
they will retain many of the features
of the exceedingly becoming winter
styles. A green cloth coat, for exam
pie. has the same pointed colonial cuffs
which have become familiar this year
and it still keeps the eminentlv desira-
BILE little cape of plated velvet, the
color in this Ease being heliotrope. An
other new jacket is a modification of
the old blazer, for instead of meeting
at the bust, n side is extended into a
point which fastens under the collar.
As for spring gowns, the skirt wakes
fuller and sitter with every passing
week. Skirts now range from four to
six yards in width.
A really charming afternoon gown is
Of blue whipcord. The skirt is fully
six yards in width, and is trimmed with
three longitudinal rows of dark brown
~serpentine braid. with an edge of bead
passementerie. The round waist is
buttoned at one side by three large but
tons, and has a wide rolling collar over
bretelles trimmed like the skirt. The
sleeves are decidedly new, being very
full and gathered some distance above
the wrist into a dropping cuff trimmed
with the braid and passementerie.
A gown which is eminently suitable
for spring street wear is of black serge,
with a perfectly plain full skirt and a
bodice opening with wide revers from
a vest striped ~diagonally with lines of
black jet trimming N. Y. World.
