In spite Of the epidemic of crepons
silk gown is necessary for every wom-
ans wardrobe, says fashion writer in
the Boston Herald Indeed the greater
number she can have tho smarter she
will be this summer The silks are sim
ply bewildering in their beauty and in
the variety of design. With SO many to
choose from it is small wonder that
nervous prostration is the fashionable
complaint at present. The India and
China silks have lost their firm hold,
and taffetas, brooches and such ilk are
the silks Of the day. The old patterns
that were fashionable in our grand
mothers time have all revived and re-
semble SO wonderfully the old time silk
that now the girl who was lucky enough
last year to put away silks and brocades
which had belonged to grandmothers
and greataunts can no longer put on
airs of superiority, for in almost all the
shops can be found the exact counterpart
of what she SO proudly wore last year
identical in texture, coloring and design.

The following old story of the late
Richard Vaux is worth reviving. Late
in the thirties Mr.. Vaux attended mu
sicale at the house Of noble patroness
of the arts in Dublin, and there met the
immortal Tom Moore The poet sang a
number of his melodies, accompanying
himself ON the piano. Afterward Mr..
Vaux was presented to the poet. 'He
shook me warmly by the hand," said
Mr.. Vaux, in telling the story, "and,
without relinquishing his grasp, took
me to sofa, where we sat together.
$50, Mr. Vaux, you are from the
United States?' said the poet. Pray tell
me from which one Of your sovereign
tiesr Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.
'Oh, Philadelphia Yes, yes I remem-
ber my stay there. Its Quaker citizens,
their simplicity, earnestness and quiet
truthfulness impressed me very much.
Well, tell me, has it changed in latter
times? wish was young enough to go
back to America. shall always regret
some of the mistakes l made while in
America Unfortunately they are writ

friends in your country.
~ assured him that in the villages
and towns and great cities his melodies
were among the household gods. He
seemed pleased, and sang for me The
Last Rose of Summer. A short time
afterward, coming to me, he said: May
ask you q favor? I feel little ex-
hausted--not very well, and possibly, as
your carriage is here, you will accom-
pany me home. In few minutes We
entered the carriage, and leaving him at
his lodgings departed. "-Philadelphia

He Wanted n Pass.

Tho following extract is from letter
Of advice to an Oregon railway presi-
dent: "There is nothing so important as
the good will of your patrons, and there
is no better way for you to secure this
than by issuing passes to influential per-
sons when cogent reasons are shown.
Now, last week wrote to Mr.. Stone to
send me pass to Corvallis, as wanted
to go down to see some friends, and my
legs are rather weak, but he, with \
heart as hard as his name, replied that
the trouble in my limbs was probably
caused by not using them enough, and
told me l could use the track to>walk
on. This sort Of language is not calcu-
lated to create a friendly feeling, to say
the least. Iwould like to have pass to

of it. Portland (Or. Sun.

Mr. yaux Did Dance with Her.

The story often told that the late
Hon. Richard Vaux had danced with
Queen Victoria has been denied quite
frequently since his death, but as
matter of fact he did dance with tho
queen. He was not her partner, it is
true, but danced in what was known as
the queen S cotillon at the ball given
In her honor in 1887, when he was soo-
retary of the United States legation.
Mr.. Vaux was selected by the queen her
self as one of the seven persons to join
with her in the dance, very great
honor. In the course of the evolutions
in the cotillon he danced with the
queen. This statement was made by
Mr.. Vaux to we'll known Pennsylva-
nian who served with him in the Fifty
first congress. s.-Philadelphia Record.
