r5e house. is decorated with Towering
Giants and palms, soft music is heard
raroueh the magnificent rooms, the mu-
s.-ia1s are concealed behind the plants,
fine drawing rooms are thronged with ele-
entity dressed women wearing jewels
D,rtb fortunes A ballroom of ample size,
ennroacheu by many doors, invites tbs
dancers and tile music controls the move
When supper IS served small tables for
rv-o ana four are placed in position
through the drawing rooms. On snow

KS beneath the light of cOlored can~les.
ON each are laced delicately tinted me-
nus tempting the appetite with score or

e. VINO serves the supper in courses.
'lnere is no hurry, no scurry, no crowd
3ng around supper tables; all is stlft, or
dCrIy, very conventional
The guests arrive at IL or II O'Clock and
cave at or 4. The lateness or the hour
az arrival is described to the belief that
most of the guests have been attending
dinner parties or the opera. After the
cotillion, which is remarkable always Tor
the costly favors, second light supper
is served, and as the gentlemen leave The
dressing room a lackey offers cigars or
cigarettes, while another holds lighted
taper. Nothing that can be done 70 aad
10 the comfort of the guests is overlooked
or forgotten. Entertaining in these days
is reduced to a perfect science.
The brave girl knelt beside the detected
figure of her parent and fondly kissed the
dropping head. Papa she said, can
my singing?" He was without hope al
though he smiled. My child" he sighed,
your singing would keep almost any
think else from the door, but the wolf is
pretty nervy, you know.
Miss Vanderbilt, who is to marry the
Duke of Marlborough, is a JOY to the
French artistic. She is a tall, typical Amer
can girl, with greyhound waist, supple,
rounded and long-throated, as Lely por-
trait. Her head is small and weighted
with masses of wavy dark hair, her
shoulders slope gracefully, her face is a
delicate oval, and her taste and sweet
temper so compelling that even Roun,
that independently autocratic, sharp
tongued genius of head gear, before whom
even prlncesses tremble but obey, is un-
qualified in her admiration and civility to
OF the seventy-hve gowns included in
her trousseau not one will be sent out
stockings. The majority of this footgear
are of silk, running through every known
variety of tint and shade. One pair rs
powdered with silver and irideScent
palettes, sewed on in crescent forms, or
Inquired over with finely cut steel beads.
There are lovely ones in fiesh-tinted silk,
so embroidered in gold threads and ilni-
tation jewels as to represent the gorgeous
anklets of eastern women. Black ones
in spun silk are open worked nearly to
the knee, with lacing of gold and coiored
silk threads. Sometimes in black and
white the open work is nothing less
than finest lace. Such are the white we'd
ding stockings, having Brussels lace let
in over the instep, the lace showing a
coronet in meshes. Nothing could be
more charming than set of stockings in
rich bluette blue silk showing elaborate
delft blue clocks, and another pair in
blue, with a flight of gray ana white
swallows over the instep, are for wear
with an elaborate blue dressing gown of
thick creped silk, lined with gray satin
and dear little heellless pointed buskn
slippers made of blue silk ana blue leath-
er, laced and tied with silk cords.
1t always adds a neat little figure to
our profit if we can introduce some new
sort Of sweetmeat that viii find a lasting
popularity with our patrons, said a deal

this season he has discovered a new com
hlnauon Of nuts and sugar, the demand
Tor which his factory can scarcely supply
rralines are the very latest article of
diet in which the matinee girl rejOlces, ard
me contecuOner who sells them on Broad
way merely copied an old creole receipt
TO make this delectable sweet. A pralne
IS literally only a sugar cake, about as
large and thick as the palm of ones hand
and richly strewed with pecan nuts. For
time out of mind creoles have known all
the virtues of this combination, which
has appeared on Broadway in a some
what amended and improved form. Down
IN this particular shop fresh maple su-
gar IS used, in place of the common brown
article, and the biggest, latest Texas pc
can nuts are used to thicken the sugar,
with results that the matinee girl attests
b\ her reckless expenditure of pocket
money for pralines
1t required Just one week to establish the
pr2llne as the leading bonbon of the sea-
SON and the nice young man who wishes
10 center the hitherto wandering affections
OF any young woman on himself need
only send her a box of these sugary dain-
ties. They win probably make her very,
very i'll. for of all CONNECTIONS known
praline is the most indigestible; but what
is headache or two in comparison with
the sensation one has while eating this
sEeetmeat? That experience among mat
lnee girls is similarly known as the hap
py despatch"
Next after pralines, genesees are the
most popular bonbonS. They are soft
squares of pure chocolate, vastly superior
IN feminine estimation to caramels and
are really nice only when perfectly fresh.
In the words of the confectioners, those
are out OF fashion just now. The proper
sweets with which to fill one of the new
bonbonnieres are crystaIiZed fruits, the
receipts for which are ali freshly imported.
The best of them are the Sarahs, named
after the great actress. They are glazed
inarrons squeezed into big sugared plums
half full of chocolate cream. Next best af--
Ter these are the dragees, STEPPED in bran

crystallized lines, filled with tiny French
currants, gooseberries, white cherries and
bits Of pineapple packed in with a dress

OF the Champs Elysee, Yvette Gilberte.
