woRTH's BEST CUSTOMER.
He Disapproved of Her and Her Ex-
travagance.

Worth, the famous dressmaker of Paris,
used to tell HIS customers to buy few
gowns and wear them out. He had no pa
tience with women whobOught more clothes
than they could use, says the Youths Com
paniou.
One of his best customers was a wealthy
French lady Of distinction, who had pas
sion for carrying a large stock Of new
clothes. He used to tell her that he could
not suit her so we'll when she ordered so
many gowns al once and that some ofthem
would certainly lack originality and be un-
| becoming, but she would not heed his warn
ing.
AS this lady was in infirm health and sell
dom went out in society, she wore only
few of her many gowns AS soon as they
were old or out OF style she lost interest in
them and gave them way TO poor relations.
She found the Same pleasure in unlocking
her wardrohes and looking at her handsome
costumes that miser derives from counting
his gold in secret.
When Worth's cxtravagaut customer died
she left behind her so large a stock of new
clothes, that her executors, instead of dis
tributiug it among the relatives, had an in
ventory made of the wardrobe and then
SOld IL by auction, piece by piece.
There were seventy magnificent costumes
OF the richest materials; as many as Fifteen
mantles trimmed with rare fur, innumerable
riding habits, dressing gowns and jackets,
seventy silk petticoats, aud underCiotlIinG
| in profusiou, sixty pairs of shoes, three hun
dred handkerchiefs, ten muffS and forty
parasols, Que hundred honnets, and other
articles of dress in equally large assort-
ment
These were not old clothes. Everything
was new and without signs of wear The
wardrobe had cost somewhere between
100000 and $3.50, 600, aud it was sold at
great sacrifice, the receipts from the
auction barely exceeding $4,000.
ThcSale excited greatintereSt in Paris and
many lectures on extravaganza in dress
were read to women in public and private.
Worth, himself, was angry when his costly
costumes were sold for song. He conSid
cred that the treasures of his art had been
desecrated through the folly of selfish
leader OF fashion, who had become helpless
Invalid, yet would not acknowledge that
her day was over
mo woman with good sense" he would
say, : is justified in having more gowns
thanshe expects to wear A few becoming
costumes ought to satisfy the richest and
most ambitious woman"
That was good advice, whether it was
followed by his wealthy and fashionable GUS
| toners or openly dsregarded. Collections
| of paintings, etchiRgs, books, porcelain,
| or gems may have a permanent and even
| an increasing value, but a n extrava CANT
| wardrobe, exceediugg reasonable require
ments of Use, involves foolish wasteful-
ness

SIZE LOVED TO CATCH CRABS.
But when They Fastened on TO Her
Feet she Yelled.

A party of four sat on the front seats
of a Seventh street grip car going north the

down On the floor.
The girl in baby blue, with the dudish
young man, was the entertainer OF the

Gray is too pious 10 allow Mary to 20

cuse for giving him black look for talking

Number one continued.
Grabs are the most harmless Like
a flash of lightning The smile on her face
vanished and the passive expression that
followed gave way to look ofunutterable
horror, followed by q little hysterical
shrek
Bah Gawge what's the natter asked
the young man at her side and the dude at
her back in chorus.
"Shut that basket, quickl' she yelled,
giving five or six kicks and as many more
screams. They're crawling out and tan

The stop bell was nearly pulled from LIS
socket by the three other members OF tue
party and the car came to a standStIH-
As the grip flew on it's way once more the
taIkativc girl was left standing in the
middle Of the street with her three compan-
ions, engaged in diSentangling about a
bushel, more or less, of the hard-backed
monsters from her feet and dress while the
crabs scattered far and wide over the
street.

There is a perfectly harmless prepara-
ton for the skin which is well worth try
ing upon occasions. when, for instance, the
skin is dry or has been tanned by exposure
to the sun and wind
Almond oil, as everyone knows, can
never harm any skin, and this with sweet
and bitter almonds constitute a good share
of the mixture which is made in the fol-
lowing way:
Blanch five ounces OF sweet almonds and
one ounce OF bitter almonds; beat them
until quite smooth, with one-halr ounce of
white CuTd soap and one-halr pint of rose
water. Melt one-half ounce oil of sweet
almonds, two ounces OF white wax, one
half ounce spermaCeti and mix with the
other preparation until all is like cream
and strain through muslin. Then add
gradually two pints of rose water, twenty
drops each of oil OF lavender and altar of
roses dissolved in one pint of rectified
spirits
This recipe makes large quantity so il
you are generous you can share it with
your neighbor who has 4 complexion she is

Of the present police court bench No respect
able citizen can offer a semblance Of a reason
why our present Police Justices should remain
in Office for more time than is necessary to put

so obvious that there is really no need of argu-
ment about them. The police courts Of this city
have been for years a nuisance and disgrace.
The Legislature might we'll have taken up this
matter Of abolishing our present police court
bench at an early date in January 1t is a great
wrong TO the metropolis to compel people TO
groan and TO suffer under the burden and the
inhiction Of the Police Court Justices who have
brought much shame upon the community
The Legislature ought not to permit the un-
speakable Diver, the insufferablc Koch. the
intolerable Grady. and the rest Of the Tammany
gang that defes and degrades our police
courts to retain their positions for n week
longer This is 10 time for smooth words; and
the patience of the people of New-York under
the pests Of our police courts is exhausted. Any
scheme devised by any one TO prolong the pres
ent plague of our Tammany Police Justices
ought TO bring upon the author OF the scheme
the hatred and contempt of every decent per
son in the metropolis. Put an end to the pres
emf police court system. It's offence is rank and
smells TO heaven No one can suggest an
apology for it. Away with II.
