Some of the most unique and artistic
affairs that have come within my notice of

A MYSTERIOUS WARDROBE.
How a WeII-Dressed Woman Seemed
Never to Wear a Gown Twice.

New York sun.
At reception one guest was the admired
of all the men and the enyied of all the
women. The latter were in despair over her
gown.
sit is of no use trying to discover her
dressmaker." they said, because all her
dresses are imported"
They talked about her always wearing
either white or green, and said she must
have fortune in those two eOlors. She
had taken to the empire styles par
ticularly, and actually never seemed
to wear the same dress twice, and
they were all so lovely, too. There was the
one she had on then, green satin with a
square train that fell from between the
shoulders, and a white Josephine slip
belted across the breast with a cord OF Sill
yer. The sleeves were enormous puts OF
green velvet Her blonde hair aud lovely
skin completed the picture, and one woman
actually went so far as TO whisper to her,
''Oh, do wear this dress again. il is SO
lovely" But she only looked mildly bored.
Or course, iil-natured things were said too /;
that her husband could not afford anything
like ii, and all that, but, at the sane time.

make up their minds who did, because she
was apparently most clrcumspeet 50 she
remained mystery. and tonight more
lovely one than ever.

had but one dress at time. and If you had
jumped at her suddenly for given gown

trains. long enough TO come FROM the SilouI-

some are green. All the greens will 90 to-

their own to 90 either with or without
another train. Then she has off yards
Of ribbon. sash widths and narrower.
She las embroidered pieces of yari-
Gus kinds and lengths and widths. She
has good deal OF old lace, a shawl or so
her mother had given her, some lengths,
ard so on. 1t is not meant that she never
has a new dress. She has about as much to
spend on her gowns as any ordinary
woman, but not enough TO dress in the ex-
tIaOTdinary way she does unless by some
extraordinary means. She puts dresses to-
geIher pieeemeai They are pinned on and
sewed on. 40 she stands in them, and IN no
way can dress be made to look so much a

next time. Her maid is expert with ben

of the silver lace. Two long ends Of ribbon
reached from the bertha TO the bottom of
the gown. The ribbon consisted of white

Another dress in the same style was
fashioned for dnsky, dark-haired little
maiden. The dress was made all in one,
with a square yoke. The material was DAT
fodil-yelow bengaIine, which fell in plaits
from the square yoke. Point de Gems lace,

yoke in front, the long ends reaching TO the
bottom of the skirt.

Cieveland's Policy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24--Tbere is con
sternation among certain candidates for
places under the new administration
Mr.. Cleveland has given out his policy
Ee has determined that new men shall
be selected almost without exception
The announcement of this policy comes
through members of the new cabinet
From time to time it has been rumored
that Mr.. Cleveland bad views which
would stand in the way of bis former
office-holders WHO are seeking reap
polntmen.; but this is the first authorita-
tive announcement. Mr.. Cleveland takes
the position that his former appointees
should have gone to work after losing
their Offices four years ago. The fact
that they are turning up now for reap
pointment Is evidence to him that they
have been waiting four years to get back,
aud he does not believe in encouraging
that rt of thing ConverslDg about
the wisdom of this policy, he refers to
himself. He says that after his defeat
ne thought no more of Office holding,
turned his attention to the practice of
law and was making very good living
He did not seek h denomination and only
yielded as matter of duty to the will
of the people. He says it would have
been unseemly for him to have sought
the presidency again and be thinks it is
unseemly for those who we're assistant
secretaries, commissioners, paymasters,
marshals, district attorneys, ministers,
consuIs. and what not, to appear pressing
claims to reappointment. This substance
of Mr. Clevelands conversation is heipg
repeated to the friends nf candidates
who are trying to get back their old
places. They are being told with em
phasis that their efforts will be of no
avail.
