equal fascination for her who has only
a few pennies to spend. as well as for
her who has an unlimited purse ar her
disposal, and no wonder. for Solomon
in all his glory were not arraved ne
these same windows.
Never was there such a profusion ~
beautiful and costly material for wo-
mans adornment, and She who dose
not linger long and lovingly before
them is indeed void of the desires of
her sex. A woman's love for clothes
seems to be a natural and instructive
one, just as much part Of her as a de-
sire to eat or supply any other natural
want.
Man in measure has outgrown this
love OF adornment, though i'm primitive
and uncivilized races the male enjoys
bunch Of feathers or a string of glass
beads fully as much as the female.
One of the interesting displays OF the
week is made by the Food Show now In
progress at the Madison Square Gar
den. A Food Show" has rather q novel
sound to those unaccustomed 10 it. bur
its success has been sufficiently assur-
ed to make it one of the features Of tho
fall season. Here one finds exhibited
the latest and best preparations of
food, and also the method Of preparing
ii for the table The New York Cook
ing School holds forth as an auxiliary
to the Food Show" and tempting
dishes cooked by fair feminine hands
are set forth in the interest Of various
charities.
During each day of the Food Show"
some particular charity will be in
charge. Teas, at which prominent So
ciety women will preside, will be given,
and the proceeds devoted TO the inst-
tuition which the charity represents
Teas" in the interest oil charity, rs
well as debutantes, are quite a feature
of exhibitions nowadays The portrait
exhibition which comes off the latter
part of this month inaugurates a series
in the interest of the various charities
of the city. 1t is predicted that the
portrait exhibition will be even more
Of a success than last year, many por-
traits by celebrated artists being fur
nished for 1t, among the last one Of the
| future Duchess of Marlborough by
Harper Pennington, of Baltimore, art
list. Portraits Of society women, as .
rule, are highly idealized and often
times the original is scarcely recogniz-
able-save by intimate friends. AS
Miss Vanderbilt is plain young wo-
man, in spite of her millions the paint
er of her portrait will be allowed TO cX-
ercise his fancy. This marriage Affords
an unlimited topic of discussion. no
previous international affair c0mpar-
ing with it in importance, and nothing
short of presidential election or a
prize fight occupying so much space IN
the journals of the day.
The theatres are all doing good bus
mess now, most of them showing new
and attractive programme Nat.
Goodwin is not making the success that
was expected of him in his new role OF
David Garrick. His Interpretation OF
this character has been much criti-
cised.
"Trilby," the play of the season,
goes out at the Garden Theatre. Satur-
day night 1t has had a phenomenal
success. and probably winds mp the
"Trilby" craze. Old favorites are run
ming at the other theatres. II fact, the
season is not sufficiently far enough
advanced to indicate which Of the new
plays will take the place Of the Old
ones.
