" Come with me, Mrs Caustic.' called
out the latter. i expect they will give me
a good seat-at least I ought 10 have one.
! II those snobbish young ushers look after

Little Mrs Push turned around immedi-

/ restless. oh, excuse, me- she exclaimed

thing, and, squeezing past US. she Joined

a Few pews ahead of US. And that was the

] course, her place was assigned to her and
| she had no opportunity to exercise her pc
| culiar talents; but as soon as the ladies
formed in different groups in the draw

/ ment, that Mrs. Push fingered over some
/ magazines at table She is waiting to
see what group il would be best to join
said to myself. for l saw her attention
was not on the books. and that she kept
| glancing from side to side. Finally she
| made her selection, and picking up pho
tograph as a subject to begin with, she
| sauntered up to coterie Of intimates, and
| managed so cleverly that in five minutes
| she appeared to be one of the set-which
! needless to say was very smart one.
! That evening was the night of Mrs BIS
| ball, which was one of the most exclusive
affairs of the winter.
" Now, at least, l shall get rid of that
| little snob,' l soliloquized, for l am quite
sure she is not invited; I heard Mrs b.
| say sometime ago that she was quite in
/ sufferable.' But the very first person I
saw in the dressing room was Mrs. Push.
| However did she manage that? l ex-
| claimed to a friend, but it was not until
the other day that heard the explanation
| from Mrs. b. herself. 1t was the bicycle
| that did 1t! Mrs. Push is beautiful rider

her to my ball."
1t has been interesting, says the New
| York Times to watch the gradual way
in which woman's dress has 'lived up
to the big sleeve. whose advent two years
ago was a startling innovation.
| Capes promptly succeeded Jackets when
the fashion became pronounced, modistes
and arbiters realizing that it was asking
| too much of the average jacket sleeve to
be responsible for the hiding of such a
mass of dress sleeve.
| The skirts were the next part of the
| costume to adapt themselves to width and
voluminousness, a necessary concession,
as the bell skirt with the balloon sleeves,
was little short of grotesque.
! Bonnets then DOTTED their hight, and took
unto themselves width, preserving the
equilibrium of the outfit, and the crush
collars and belts added ears and
wings to their effect.
| Shoes have remained pointed, though
| they should have fared but parasols have
| grown fluffy and fiat to partake of the
| general trend of belongings.
| Finally the motif has entered bouquets.
| The very newest thing al the florists are
! the butterfly bouquets, wee. shallow af-
| fairs, with spreading bows or wings of
| lilies, or what you will, and a center of
some other flower
Loops of ribbon fall from the center of
| these butterfly lunches which bid fair to,
| temporarily, at least, dethrone the popular
shower bouquet.
1.-THE American girl wherever she goes,
! is Immediately covered by the lorgnon of
! foreign curiosity" writes Mrs Burton
Harrison in the Ladies' Home Journal.
! She can neither move nor have her being
without being discussed as a type of her
now famous class. No doubt her success
socially, wherever she is known, has much
| to do with it. Other women, old and
| young-English women pre-eminently-
are on the lookout for her every departure
| from good form. From her chance, trif-
! ling lapse at table d'hote in speech or ac-
ton from their accepted tenets they judge
| her kind. This may not seem amiable,
| but it is strictly true. One can't make
the round of half a dozen countries of
! Southern Europe in the travelling season
and not have it borne in upon ones inner
| consciousness. The chaperons of other
| countries say to each other. All these
American girls, they are sad poachers on
our preserves" and consider it their duty
| to condemn our maiden upon the small
est pretext. AS for their passing criti-
cisms upon her speech that is a matter
| of COURSE, and to steer clear of them she
