Added to these are handsome new
bengalines with ordinary, medium or
heavy cords or ribs which appear in a
range of lovely dyes and which will be
used for entire gowns or in combina-

grouped In the room richly attired throng, suggestive of masquerades and carnival time. There was dark will lowy beauty, whose portrait has been admired in the Academy, and she was attired in a wonderful Directoire gown of silk, gathered just under the arms and falling thence in straight lines to the floor. Without doubt this was the most beautiful dress in the room. With handsome, smooth-shaven young fellow, she was to pose as one of the central figures in "A Marriage Under the Directory" of which most of the complicated background was omitted.
 There was sweet young girl in Norman peasants cap and kerchief. There was a Greek maiden, with fil- leted black locks and sandal shoon and spotless chiton. There was @ brunette Juliet, of course, to drop loving looks upon a golf-playing Romeo from an improvised balcony. There was Dor othy Q. There was splendid Brun- hilde, with long brown locks and gleaming cuirass and imperious mien.
 How the- complex furnishings of great modern home responded to the needs of such varied mis-en-scenel Not property" was missing, and nothing came from without save few bor- rowed rugs from a curio shop. There was spinning wheel from Jules Bre- tons maiden. There was staff for the incroyable, a huge amphora for the Greek maiden, a sword for Brunhilde.
 But perhaps the most successful pie lures were those which required only the setting of modern furniture and no costuming save the garb of every day. One of Chase's wonderful park scenes was shown, with tall and slender lady's figure thrown against back ground of impressionistic greens And the lady wore wonderful sprigged and vined and garlanded costume of cape and skirt which Chase never painted, but then we take liberties, you know. And there was a plainly clSl but pretty young convalescent seated with pleased face at Q sunny

 Living pictures" by the way, is only a literal translation of 'tableaux vii wants" But you don't call tableaux tableaux any more, and 1t makes such a difference.
 Of course society is trifie moreGare- full in the selection of its subjects for living pictures than the stage. So far as 1 have heard there has as yet been no representation by high society danes of Phryne before the judges or Diana and Actseon. But domestic in- -teri0<sof all ages and climes and sem timental and heroic scenes are indus triously practiced behind the big gilded frame. Society novelists are quick to catch the idea. One of them represents her heroine meeting her future hus- band while posing in Defregger's group, "The City Chap in the Noun tains." Whatever the reason-hateful men say because they are posing all their lives-society women make a wonderful success of such work.
 Perhaps there aren't half a dozen big houses in Newport where there isn't some likelihood of living pictures being seen this summer, for charity or for fun. These entertainments will always be private, like everything else worth while here-everything save the limitless sea and the rugged shore and the breath of the June roses And

when broad belts and heavily marked waist lines were not ''in." Dress re- form is never so far away as when the belts or shirring strings of two or three different garments compress the waist and cut into the flesh, and, if wide,. gather in unaesthetic wrinkles A woman is never so tall that she does not look better in an Empire dress, or in an aesthetic and formless creation of uncut velvet.
 One pretty chiffon dress which have seen, cleverly surmounts this difficulty. The sleeves are the shapeless double banked rows of knife plating which arc so hideously English, the embroid- cred collar is high, close and comfort less, the bodice is plaited again and further decked down each side of the front with two strips of white em- br0iderv on black ground at each side.

man sitting at her side with his back to the audience. But he doesn't count, of course. The lady wore a lnstroIk pearly satin, the color of-well, of ground glass, say-perfectly plain of Skirt and the low bodice was all, a very little all, of white lace over the satin, and rosetted folds of the same material inc1osed the fawless neck. The sleeves were of the balloon order with more lace at the elbows. It was a dress whose keynote was simplicity, whose effect was of luxurious but tasteful elegance.
 Something not in the bills at all was a girl of twelve or thirteen who ran into the room seeking mamma and stayed to be petted by everybody else. She came straight from her seaweed harvest or mud pie bakery, or other productive industry of happy child hood, clad in a dress of red serge with a skirt sewn on to a broad band round the waist and double-breasted reefer coat without the slightest fullness. The skirt, which had turn-down collar, was made of dotted Holland-colored zephyr with linen collars and cuffs, and at the throat was bow tie of check scarf. A simple sailor hat cov- cred the child's curls, and she wore low sandals.
 Nature demands strong, wholesome tints. I could not but think that the child's red gown would have made a pretty stroke of color had she stepped behind the gilded frame and gone on with her pie making there before the footlights.
 noticed, too, that for the first time in years, a number of simpler costumes in the room were, except for cut of bodice and amplitude of skirt, almost precisely the same as the childs. Make the dress white serge or pale yellow, with white silk waist feather stitched or embroidered, or cornfower blue serge with pale heltotrope waist, and you have pretty and simple costume for anyone, young or old And the sailor hat needed but more elaborate trimming to be modish for a grown-up girl.
 l have been viewing costumes since with something of dissatisfaction The dress of the year emphasizes the waist line too much. There is no waist line. Nature never made one, and all the most beautiful gowns of all ages, Greek, or Italian, or Colonial, or what not, have fallen in one piece from the shoulder with no especial emphasis of zone or belt. Womens costume was much prettier, and certainly much more healthful, two or three years ago,

There has recently been a hdeous waste
of money in providing official testimonials
Of sorrow for the cars funeral The
queens wreath, which was of enormous
size," was sent from Windsor to st. Peters
burg in charge of Lord Darlington, the
expenses of whose mission will have to be
paid by the foreign office. The German
emperor's wreath, which was ten feet in
diameter, required a special railway wagon
to transport it from Berlin to st. Peters
burg The Emperor Francis Joseph sent a
wreath eight feet long, which had been
constructed by thirty florists The bier
was surrounded by many hundreds of
massive silver floral crowns" from the
towns and villages of Russia, some of
which had cost upward of $1,000. 1t would
be interesting to learn who profits by all
certain that every article Of any value
which Is sent on such an occasion ulti-
mately becomes the perquisite of some
court functionary, and the individual who
takes the spoil at this function will be able
to retire at once with considerable for

have been squandered in decorating pub
lie buildings, and II Is very queer COM
mentary on the alleged outburst of nation
al woe that the superintendent of an i'm
portant railway terminus at ST. Petersburg
was sent to prison for seven days because
his station was not in sufficiently deep
mourning. 1t may be hoped that on the
next occasion Of an imperial or royal
funeral, there will be a notification that
flowers and wreaths are not to be sent.

OUR TREATY WITH ENGLAND.
Was Written on Cheap Paper and
Tied With Blue Ribbon.

From Harper's.
The first thing was to get from the King
of England n statement that he and his
ministers were willing formally 10 acknowl-
edge American independence. When this
was done. three American commissioners
went to Paris, in order to be upon neutral
territory, and there they met one David
Hartley, who had been named by the king
to represent Great Britain. Each spent
some time examining the others creden-
tials, to see that they were treating with
the right parties. When fully satisfied upon
this important matter they took a few
sheets of common and rather coarse white
paper. nine by fifteen inches in size, and
folded once and at the top of the first page
of it they wrote, in coarse and crude hand:
"In the name of the most holy and undl-
vided Trinity
Writing in unbroken lines across the en-
tire page, on both sides of the paper, and
frequently referring each TO the other as
High MightineSses," these commissioners
filed nearly four sheets of the paper, and
at the end they signed their names. David
Hartley signed first, and he placed his
name away up in the left-hand corner, just
under the last line of the text where it
appears almost crowded off the paper by
the names OF the American signers, John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Jay.
They tied the sheets together with some
very narrow and very cheap blue ribbon,
the ends Of which they fastened TO the la
per with patches of red sealing wax. This
wax they needlessly burned in placing 1t
