Mems Society Clothes.

Women generally know how to
dress themse Yes and their children
for most OF the functions" of So
ciety. But they are often sadly per-
picked as to how their husbands
should be attired. Beyond knowing
that men should not wear evening
clothes before & O'Clock, their ideas
on masculine garb are vague. And,
as they fire. Iuently have to decide the
question OF what their lords and
masters shall wear, it would be wise
for them to read, mark, learn, and
inwardly digest the following facts:
At 2 o'clock weddings, known as
morning weddings which are about
the only early festivities to which a
man can be dragged-the bridegroom
wears dark-striped trousers, double
breasted frock coat, undressed pearl
grey gloves, white four. finland, tall
hat and big bo%utonniere. The ush-
ers are similarly attired, and the
masculine wedding guests who aim
TO be correct, wear clothes OF the
same general fashion, though, OF
course, the style OF their ties, gloves
and boutonnieres is not prescribed by
law At all fashionable morning af-
fairs this uniform, with some indi-
vidual variations, is correct.
In the evening, Of course, evening
clothes are necessary. This season
prescribes a three button, plain shirt
front, a straight, stand-up collar,
either a black cloth waist-coat or a
double breasted, tour-buttoned white
one. No jewelry is worn, and pearl
grey gloves, stitched with black. are
considered in best taste, as are patent

EVERYTHING in this world OF ours
has its limits, time, place, oppor-
tuhity, human power, life itself, all
come TO an end. One OF the great
arts OF living well and successfully Is
TO understand these limits and to
adapt ourselves TO them. For the
want Of this many excellent schemes
come 10 naught, many worthy people
fan in their efforts, much strength
and energy and talent are wasted.
Everyone realizes the importance OF
making a beginning, but few ap-
preciate that there is an equal i'm
ortance in making an end. How
and when TO do this is deserving Of
much more thought and care than is
usually bestowed upon il.

The fantastic and somewhat gro
tesque humor of the Thirteen Club, of
New York, expended itself recently at
q dinner which was intended to assist
in giving the finishing stroke to the
superstitious notions which still linger
about the world from the days Of our
ancestors. Everything was done by
the club to challenge, defy md ridicule
the current superstitions. The mem
bers and their friends dined in thir-
teens, walked under Mdders, split salt,
crossed knives, had lamps in plaster
skulls and did many other curious and
absurd things ut which many simple
people still tremble in these days.

which the Journalist c0slld do much
good in connection with various de-
partments Of practical life. He (the
lecturer) had devoted himself To the
task of solving the difficult problem
of providing pensions for old z in
the working classes Now, here was
the Abbe's method.
His paper, which has been in circu-

other day tho speed of a car was timed
for q distance Of a mile aud n half,
and IL was found to be over thirty
miles an hour. When the motorman

running no faster than usual, and chat
when he got behind time he often ran
q great deal faster than that. In the
crowded parts of the city these cars
are supposed to keep within n speed
of ten miles, and in the less populated
sections the legal limit of speed is
fifteen miles. In the face of this the
''usual time" in the more open parts
of the city is from twenty-five to

TIE shocking tragedy at Boston.
when a young man killed the girl to
whom he had been engaged and then
killed himself, emphasizes the i'm
portance OF adopting sever measures
in dealing with those who threaten
violence against those whom they
profess to love. In this case the man
had broken his engagement in a fit
OF anger because the girl would not
marry him Immediately, and when
told by her father that he must keep
away from the house, had threatened
TO xiii the object Of his affections.
He should have been deprived Of his
liberty from the moment he made
the threat, and it seems as il this
lesson might be learned without the
sacrifice Of more victims.

Co-opERATIoN in shopping is the

principle. 1t has taken root in Brook

Society. The members OF the society
are heads OF families living in the
neighborhood, who buy their gro
ceries, meats, books and other things
through a purchasing agent. The
agent calls upon them every morn

purchases at wholesale rates. 1t is

In Brighton recently. He lived with
his mother, having separated from

HOW cRIsPI PASSES HIS DAYS.
The New Prime Minister of Italy a HARD
Worker.

The New Prime Minister of Italy a Hard
Worker.
Sly. Crispi, the present PrimeMin
lister OF Italy, like all heads OF min
istries, is an exceedingly busy man.
He gets up about ! o'clock every
morning, and promptly at 8 he he
gins work with his secretaries. He
remains with them until luncheon
time-a meal which he eats rapidly,
surrounded by his family. He is ac-
customed, however. TO work while
eating. To aid him in this two bas-
kets are placed near him-one for
letters and kilograms which do not
need 70 be answered, aud the other
for those to which replies must be
sent. The letters or the latter class
he reads As rapidly as possible and
outlines with a pencil the an
swers which are TO be written out
later by his clerks. He is a fast
writer, and usually outlines at the
luncheon hour enough work to occupy
his secretaries for a good part OF the
afternoon.
Sig. Crispi is a small eater and is a
better judge of wine than Of the
preparations OF his kitchen chef. He
cares little for meat, drinks temper
ately OF wine but never liquors, and
never smokes. His cook is an Italian.
as he manifests a preference for Ital-
ian dishes.
After luncheon the Minister re-
sumes his duties at his Office and re-
ceives the numerous persons begging
for an audience. In the early even
ing he takes a drive, usually accom-
panied by his daughter. a charming
young woman o. whom he is exceed
ingly fond. Since the unfortunate
escapades OF his son. which led to the
young mans confinement in a re-
formatory, he lavishes all his affec-
tion on this daughter.
The chief meal of the day, dinner,
is eaten at o'clock. Afterward he
usually receives a few of his most
intimate friends. The hours with
these companions are the pleasantest
Of the day for him. He is an excel.
lent cOnversationalist and owes to re-
call instances in his early life, when
he little dreamed that he would be
the head Minister Of a reconstructed
Italy. Like Bismarck, he is a bad
listener, and his guests prefer to al
low him TO direct the conversation
according TO his humor.
At 10 O'CLOCK the Minister returns
to his Office and remains there until
midnight He is in bed almost
every night before / o'clock.

THE New York Court of Appeal

THE New York Court Of Appeals
holds that the law against Sunday fish
ing Is not only in force, but also that
it applies as well against persons
owning or leasing private fishing pre-
serves. This is a tighter legal rein
than has ever been drawn on the
anglers Of New York State, a previ-
Gus decision OF the General Term
having been that only such fishing
and other sports are prohibited as
are public aud in some way disturb
the community: and the fact that
the recent decision having been by
no means unanimous-the vote hav-
ing been I 10 3-suggests that the
extension OF the rule to private
waters was probably the point Of
difference. The Sunday fishing law
in its entirety has long been a dead
letter in New York as well as in
other States and il would not be
surprising il the recent decision
should result in its repeal.

man since Pitt is recorded in Mr.. Small

old cataract and the other seriously
impaired from the formation of a new
cataract. The nerve displayed by this
veteran of eighty-four in demanding
the removal of the old cataract then
and there, so that he could have one
good eye while the other was becom-
ing useless, was phenomenal. The
surgeon lacked the courage required
for performing the operation, but tn
