an original creation, not to be duplicated
for even the Empress Of Russia.
Mrs. Mackay was about TO attend a re-
ception in Paris which meant one other
great step in the social ladder she was
persistently ciimbin. and she gave Worth
orders for a costume Of exceptional or
iginality and elegance. When she went for
a final inspection Worth proudly display
ed to her what he considered 4 dream
of loneliness The dress was Of brocaded
white satin on which he had used a Henri
Quatre stomacher and court underskirt
heavily embroidered with the finest seed
pearls-a trimming he would hardly have
used so lavishly on a costume for even
a royal parsonage.
Mrs. Mackay coolly examined the cos
tune and then told him she liked it all
but the stomacher. Worth could have
had his name spelled Wroth at that mo-
ment, so astonished and indignant was
he why, madame, why?' he exclaim-
ed.
"Why?" echoed Mrs Mackay. BE
cause the pearls are not real"
But madame, that would cost king s
ransom"
well, the Nevada mines can pay a
kings ransom-several Of them, i'm fact"
The evening of the entertainment Mrs.
Mackay's entire dress, not alone the
stomacher. was trimmed with real pearls
And" added the artist. she wore the
costume as indifferently as If she had
been born to the purple and had never
known what IL was to tramp through the
snow to a schoolhouse." As for Worth
even he felt that at last in audacity in
dress an American woman had outdone
the greatest designer of Paris.

A GIRAFFE CHASE.
Thorny JunRIes ard Tall Grass Make
II Unpleasant sport.
From the Saturday Review.

FROM the saturday review.
The bush is horribly dense and thorny,
and the thorns are OF such a nature that
the strongest cord brooches can scarcely
Withstand their assaults. The old giraffe
bulls. with hides nearly an inch thick.
care for no thorn in the forest. There is
only one thing to be done-to forget the
sickle thorns and follow them. The spurs
go in, the gallant pony springs forward,
and the chase begins. II is truly head
long. Crash go the tall giants. their long
necks rising and falling rhythmically.
their heads sometimes bending low to es-
cape a bough which all but scrapes the
withers.
1t is a tough gallop indeed. but in ten
minutes the hunter has driven his pony
right up 10 the tail of the nearest bull.
and, from the saddle. has fired his shot.
He falls behind little then closes up,
and fires again. Both bullets, planted
close to the root of the tail, have plowed
deep into the short body of the giraffe
and down their work. The painted giant
falters. sways, and then in an instan,
falls crashing to the earth, carrying with
him in his ruin a stout saping.
Dark chestnut Of coat almost black
with age upon his back. this old bull,
measuring nineteen feet from hoof to
the tip of the false horns, forms a noble
prize indeed AS he lies there in the long
yellow grass. he looks, surely, the strang-
est Of all survivals of the fauna of the
dark ages; priceless and pathetic relic
left TO the modern world by the ravage.
Of time.
