pellisson's Little Adventure.

Pellisson was frightfully ugly One day as he was walking down the street 8 beautiful lady took him by the hand and conducted him into house close by. Dazzled by the lady's charms, and fiattering himself that this adventure could not possibly entail any unpleasant consequences, he had not the strength to offer any resistance. His fair captor introduced him to the master of the house, saying:

How tlie Saga of Wlste Hall Incurred the
 Czarina's Dispieasnre.
 However valuable aid MT. Clay may haye rendered his country at court whilo in Russia, his autobiographio memoirs are full of proofs that he was no moro trained diplomat than a trained military man. One incident will suffice--the story of how he lost the favor of the czarina. One day he was invited by the ezar to Czarslzo Selo, 3 private estate IS miles in circumference, containing forests and lakes. The ezar sent him for a drive ill his carriage, which, of course had the royal livery The Princess Suwarrow, member of the royal household, had gone rowing in a light boat and invited Mir. Clay to go with her. It eame on rain, and tho princess was in a light summer dress. 1t was thus necessary to go to shore at once. But how was the princess to get home?
 Mir Clay proposed that sho should take the carriage, and that he should find shelter under the trees till it re- turned. The lady seemed reluctant to do this, but at length got ill and drove off Tho result was that she was seen driving in the czar's carriage. The czarina did not forgive MT. Clay for this. Mir. Clay afterward explained the circumstance to Prince Alexander Dol gorouki He says, 1T saw tho prince took my explanation in good part and believed ill my sincerity, but he smiled in sad way, which as much as said. It's all over with you. '"- Washington

It is being forced on us inch by inch until now framework is well nigh a neces- sity to support the heavy skirts in vogue.
 This is true of the characteristic skirt of the day, which has a decided flare and is so gored and stiffened with hair cloth that it will stand alone. Paquin of Paris is sending over skirts measur- ing six yards round and shaped like in- vorted wineglasses
 By the way, this same Paquin makes frocks called harmonious discords, ? which are delightfully."- chic. What think you of purple crepon, the skirt stiff ened until it is heavy as lead, the waist made primarily of tho crepon, having a stock collar of vivid green velvet trim med with black satin ribbon embroid cred with disks connected by electric blue spangles?
