A PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.
New Orleans Wants One of Them-The
Republican Preferred

New Orleans Wants One of Them-The
Republican Preferred.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Edward Young, of
New Orleans, who has been in Chicago
for week industriously Investigating
the chances his city has OF securing one
OF the next Presidential nominating
conventions, returned home to-day
much pleased with the prospects the
Louisiana metropolis has OF breaking
the record south of Mason and Dixon's
line. The New Orleans man vouches
for the ability Of his city to take care OF
the attending crowds, and promises,
moreover. that the delegates shall have
the best time they have had for many
quadrennial convention.
The Southern city will be- pleased to
capture either the Republican or she
Democratic convention, but the Repub-
lican Is the one by long odds that is the
favorite. strange as 1t may seem, and
New Orleans is going to make q fight to
get 1t. The novelty of having the Re-
publicans meet in the South and the
effect it will have in promoting good
feeling between the sections are the
two important points relied upon for
great assistance in influencing the selec-
tion of New Orleans.

PRETTY NEW DANCES.
Fancy Figures Are Coming Into Favor
Again.

&ASah.
The cotillon or the german is abso.
lutely necessary to the success of q
dance, and new figures are hailed with
delight Probably the secret of its sue
cess is it's possibility Of endless variety
Each season sees the introduction OF new
figures, and this winter there have been
introduced number of novelties, one
of the prettieSt of which, according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser, is
the fencing figure. In this two men are
supposed to fight for the privilege of
dancing with a certain girl, Foils are
given them, tipped on the ends with
powder puffs literally busted with pow
der. The ono who makes the first white
mark over vital spot is the victor and
dances with the cause of the duel.
Another novelty is dancing through
paper doors. For this figure frames COW
cred with tissue paper are set up, and
the couples dance through them. The
scarf figure is pretty and is danced by
almost dozen couples, who wear light
colored silken scarfs.
Flower figures are particularly pretty.
Long stemmed roses are tied-with rib
bons A certain number of blossoms are
given to each man, who kneels and offers
them to lady. II she refuses, sho
waves him away; il she accepts, she de-
taohes small boutonniere from the
others and pins it upon the coat of the
favored one
Many of the Japanese novelties are
used for favors. Paper caps, aprons,
flowers, ETC.. are presented and must be
Worn through the figure. The little rib
bon wound hoops used for rattles make
attractive favors; also the bell trimmed
tambourines
The success of a german depends
upon the leader, as he must start all the
figures, and the man who is most ready
with novel features is in the greatest
demand as cotillon leader.
The 1.-TWO step" is the favorite dance
just now and can be danced to almost
any music and be as slow or as fast as
one chooses to make,it
One Of the newest dances this season
is the Brunswick caprice" 1t some
what resembles the Oxford minuet and
is composed of several different steps,
including the polka, varsouvienne and
the mazourka, and is remarkable for the
variety of its steps and poses. The quad
rifle and lancers are always danced,
for nothing seems to take the place of
these dances in the public favor,

FURNISHING THE HALL.
1t Ought to Invite Inspection and Convey
an Air of Welcome.

The Importance of the hall is reoog-
nized. 1t tends to be an index of the
whole house, and it should, however
small, have an air of comfort. Articles
should be there displayed to invite in
spection and to convey generally an air
of welcome In large houses, especially
those in the country, the hall makes one
of the pleasantest lounges. There is an
air of freedom in comfortably furnish.
ed hall which no other part Of the house
possesses.
Most halls, even the smallest-indeed
when they are little more than passage
may be made to look oozy. A darl.
stained floor, with suitable oriental
rug; q well covered wall paper, with the
addition of curtain at some convenient
point; small table and umbrella stand
combined, a chair, a few prints on the
walls and rail for hats and coats put
around corner or in cupboard out of
sight if possible, for it is beyond the
power of man to give any artistic effect

The Latest Bonnets.

The most recent styles for evening

Jonnets made with fiat crowns or shanes
of net closely spangled ana Trimmed
with rosettes of net or mousseline de

wings of wired mousseline, with span
giles. Where flowers are used they are
made in the form of rosettes.
Artificial flowers in millinery include
violets and primroses and large silk
peonies, but roses occupy the prominent
place. Foliage without flowers is a
fashionable garniture.

If there is occasion to use alcohol for

Where space permits the addition Of
few pieces of furniture, such as tall

bookcase a few chairs, ETC., should be
introduced. In the larger halls, with
galleries and passages opening out of
them, where light is abundant, the
whole should be drawn together by keep

In dark halls yellow paper would
assist in giving light, and the ceilings
should be light. If paneled with mold

1t is seldom but curtain of some kind
can be introduced, and it is always of
the greatest assistance in softening the
otherwise hard lines of the architectural

soften outlines and give few shadows

palms, ferns, or even porcelain jars,
