THE PIE IN BOSTON.
The Modern Athens Eats 10000
Pies Each Day.

The Modern Athens Eats 10000
Pies Each Day.
Pie is served at all the hotels in Bos-
ton, and it is known and loved in every
house. Keeping this fact in mind, it is
interesting to make few figures on
the number of pies eaten in the city.
Assuming that one person in every four
in a population Of 100000 eats one piece
of pie every day-and the estimate is
a conservative one-it will be seen that
the daily consumption of pie is $4,000
pieces, or 31,25O whole pies, figuring
that each pie was cut in four pieces.
Reckoning, however, on five pieces to
the pie in a few cases, or even six
for boarding house keepers must live
the odd 1856 pies may be thrown off,
and the figures declare that 10000 pies
are consumed in Boston every day. IL
a barrel of -four will make 500 pie
crusts, then sixty barrels of flour are
used daily in Boston for pie crust alone
or 81 900 barrels a year, worth, at So
barrel, $1O9, 800. A fortune in pie crust!
Assuming that each pie has has a val
ue of 10 cents, it is found that the value
of days supply of pie for Boston is
Sc, 600 and a years supply $1,O95,OO
If each pie were an inch thick one
days supply, if placed one on top of
the other (supposing this could be done
without injury to the bottom pie) would
make a column $500 feet high, or
eleven times as high as Bunker hill
monument, with siXty-nine feet to
spare.-Boston Globe.

waist line SO as 70 form a little basque
The Russian belt is of gold and
silver cloth with enamelled clasps.
Sable tippet and muff. Large
hat, all black The second is of
dark myrtle green cloth and plush Of
the same color. The skirt is faced some
fifteen inches deep with the plush and
near the top of the plush are several
rows Of narrow green soutache braid.
The bodice is a bolero with the fronts
draped in plaits and opening over a
bouffant of cream lace over yellow.
The floating revers and collar are faced
to match the skirt. A cape of the
plush, with lines of soutache near the
edge, is very full and is so cut as to
fall partly by gOdets and partly by
gathers from the neck. A very wide
turnover collar is faced with chin
chilla. This. with a chinchilla muff,
forms very handsome visiting dress.
EVENING DRESS.
For some guests going down to the
chateau of Dampierre, where the Ouch
ess of -Luynes has been giving some
fetes, one of the dressmakers provided
the following: An evening gown of
gray-blue velvet The skirt was plain
and Slightly long round the back; the
bodice, blouse with three box plaits
in front and back, the front falling
slightly over the belt, and the neck cut
square and finished with simple bind
ing; the sleeve short puff For all
trimming a drapery of lace passing
over each shoulder and down to the
belt in back and front, the two draper
les being quite separate. A dinner gown
composed of black velvet skirt and yell
low satin bodice, cut in basque form,
the basque with an irregular slashed
edge, very ornamental, and long double
pointed revers faced with white lace. 1t

will be astonished at the simplicity of
the garments. 1t is the fashion that is

that wish to keep up a steady market

should be to save both the appearance
and the purse.

! fitted behind and loose and very open
! in front over a dull old rose taffeta
blouse. Straight revers begin half
way up the front and run into collar
Of the same width The edges are all
stitched The jacket is lined with
black silk. The blouse has a wide
plat with a cluster of fine tucks down
the middle of it and plated ruffle on
each edge. The cape is long enough to
cover the Jacket, is round and is in
/ three overlapping ruffles, the ruffles
standing out full at the edge, and all
lined and stitched. There is a high
turnover collar and in front a large
rosette of blue satin ribbon with long
ends. Not a touch of trimming. not a
trace of fur is about this dress, but its
style is in its cut and it's simplicity,
and its style is great. The hat is a
black velvet sailor with a rosette and
pompon at one side towards the front.
Made equally for wear at Cannes, a
black serge gown with jacket The
skirt is stitched in parallel rows from
the edge up twelve inches. The jacket
is fitted behind and loose and double
breasted in front, blind fastened, with
square revers and moderate sized col
lar, and is finished with stitchings. A
foulard blouse is worn under it of blue
and green Scotch tartan, made up on
the straight. 1t is shirred in front and
back, rather deeply in the back so as
to keep i. fiat and there is a plat
down the front. The sleeves have the
close lower part shirred in the seam.
The collar is on the bias. For wear
with this a sable boa and muff and
black velvet hat of medium size, turned
up behind with black plumes and
mauve flowers, and finished in front
with a strass and pearl buckle
This model was recently carried out
in gray cloeh for the infanta Eulalia,
with the jacket garnished with velvet
facingS and croCheted buttons.
CLOTH GOWNS.
Cloth unlike serge, having a dull flat
surface, demands a trimming 1t is
improved by velvet and fur, and both
are used. A gown of dark blue cloth
with plain skirt has blouse trimmed
with green and blue plaid velvet.
There is double box plat down back
and front with q fold of the velvet set
under on each side, and collar and
belt of the velvet, draped and fastened
behind. This gown was made for a
young woman for wear under a chin
chilla cape. 1 have seen three cloth

ULTRA-ARISTOCRATIC.
While people of taste seek to appro-
pirate what is beautiful in the fashion,
there exists at Paris, as there exists
elsewhere, a class of women so super
latively aristocratic, so anxious to diff
fer from the rest of the world, that
they exclude from their dress not only
novelty but beauty as well. This phe-
nomenon has its interest. These peo-
pie do not under-rate beauty, but they
know it is the end sought by ordinary
mortals and therefore its value is de-
preciated by them. 1t is necessary to
them something exclusively theirs. so
they possess themselves of the ugly, of
which they are moderately sure to re-
main in undisputed possession. Every
