The Washington times., 1895-03-27

fashionable society it is safe to assume
that IL is but a question of thine, ana q very
| short time, at that, when they will make
their appearance in Washington Tha
does not mean that they will come to stay
any more than any other popular fad oi
! the times.
1t is but the natural aftermath of the
idiotic lorgnette fad that has been il
| vogue for a number of years past with the
! fashionable element. The fact that more
! than half of the lorgnettes used are sup

which they are levelled In iIsolent fashion
/ by their owners. The truth is tlIat lorg-
nettes are n',t polite adjunct to the make
| up OF the average woman at the best of
times, while as a general rule they are
decidedly the most insulting weapon She
can avail herself, of, without rendering

Somewhat less than two years ago the
Wa shington girl alluded to went West
/ with a friend having business interests
TO look after in Colorado, aud the stay was
one of several months. 1t was while
attending to those business interests the
elder woman occupied her time and the
younger one made the acquaintance OF the
wealthy Hebrew.
1t was case of devotion on his part
from the very start Notwithstanding the
fact that his family being of the most
Orthodox description would have frowned
uDreleHtiHgly upon the idea Of any match
between him and any girl outside of his
religion, however charming she might be.
| This fact had apparently little effect
upon the wooer, for shortly after the
! Washington girl and her chaperone returned
TO this city Mr.. GuGgenheim also put il an
appearance. Those who profess TO be
authority in the matter aver that il was
in Washington would not aval TO accom-
plish his desire in the matter Of On engage
ment "for keeps" that he bied him TO New
York and ehortly thereafter formally
proposed TO and was accepted by the pres
ent briGe-elect.
