A majority of the musical stars that
during the spring have flashed across
the social armament of New York
shook the dust of our town ingering]y
a''d with honest reg:et fro n their re-
luctant feet. The noble army Of mas
culine MINISTRIES, Poles and Frenchmen
mostly, have not only been lioni led to
their hearts content, but hu nored and
petted by the pretty young women in
a way that has quite turned their
heads. 80 6.
There was Slavinski, for instance; he
played to crowded houses, and was the
guest Of honor at numbers Of beautiful
dinners. There he net the pretty girls,
who found him clever and agreeable.
They f1attered him more subtly than
Cleopatra Of Egypt, by a sort of rev.
crential, worshipful attitude they took.
They asked him to cosy little teas in the
corners of their mammas' drawing
rooms. They talked to him quite sci
entifically Of his art, of his great life
work. When at length, radiant with
so much f1attery, he would go to the
piano, and i'll the freight play strange,
yearning pieces of music, the clever
girls would snatch some piece of Jew
elry from throat or wrist, and beg him
to keep it in remembrance Of them

lives. When the great pianist did at
length tear himself away from all the
Intoxicating adulation, he carried quite
little casket of assorted feminine jew
elry with him. On one shapely wrist
he wore a plain gold bar bracelet, and
inside his stiff white collar string of
perfect pearls. These had been pressed
upon him by a great lady for whose
fair sake undoubtedly Slavinski gal
lantly promised to wear them forever
The Vtolinist's Luck.
The attentions young French yio-
iinist received has made him quite a
rival Of the pianist, for not only does
he receive flowers and jewels from his
debutante admirers, but his health is
also watched over by them. The other
day the violinist's secretary was sent
for by a young lady who gives many de-
lightful and costly private musicales.
The violinist expected that she wished
to engage him for some festival of
the sort at her house; but judge Of his
establishment when the secretary came
back long of face and with a menu
written out more suitable for an in
valid than a robust young Frenchman.
The tender-hearted young heiress felt
sure her favorite musician looked worn
and exhausted with his winters con-
cert tour, SO she had consulted her own
physician IN his behalf, and for a week
every morning from her own kitchen
were sent the daintiest dishes calculated
to tempt the most fastidious appetite.
1t seems, also, she strictly enjoined the
private secretary to see that his en-
ployer was in bed by 10 o'clock, had
a drive in the open air every day, and
was shielded from, all unnecessary ex-
element; at Which the secretary bowed
to hide the smile of irrepressible amuse-
ment curling about his lips
In the spring there is not the least
telling in what direction the fancy of
the average young woman Of fashion
will lightly turn; and who could have
fcretold that a sudden desire to rush
into print would be the latest fancy of
the younger set? It is so, however
Every other pretty girl one meets has
big inkstain on her pen-fngers, and
a tired little wrinkle in her forehead
grows confidential and, blushing, con-
| fesses that she had done a story for
THE Fin de Siecle,' or poem for the
''Lyre and Lute.'' It's a story about
society folk, and very possibly poem
with love for it's theme; and then she
pours out her burning ambitions to be
| more than a society butterfly.
The Electric Cure Fad.
For all ills that flesh is heir to, take
the electric cure, the women are an
| bouncing to one another By the doz-
| ems, nay the hundreds, they are flocking
to the prettily appointed rooms of a
| certain Mrs. Somebody or other, who
started the clever electric boom, and
jaded nerves are undergoing a toning
up after the winters round of heavy
dinners, late suppers and such like dis
sipations.
Every idle woman, reasoned this wise
| madam, who manipulates the electric
| button, has some cherished ailment or
| other; half Of it, of course, purely imag-
mary, the other half the result Of too
| much riding in carriages and faring off
rich foods, and nothing she knows can
pay her so well as to find simple cure
for all these ill-feelings. The novelty
of massage has worn off somewhat,
and SO she has appeared at the high
prlestess OF new sure cure.
1t is delightful to see her treat the
distinguished pretty patients who re-
| sort to her for relief. She has the
| daintiest little parlor and dressing
| rooms imaginable, with clever maids in
| attendance. Her most popular office
hours are in the morning or late after
moons. Any one who is to undergo
treatment exchanges her gown anu
bonnet for. soft, pretty wrapper and
easy little Turkish slippers, and the
| maid lets down her hair, says Demon

Woman's Greatest Enemy.
When a woman is troubled with head
aches the cause should be discovered.
