FOR MEN.

Mr. John Drew has been very wisely ad-
vised by Him to make a study of the suits
worn by Mr.. d'Orsay in THE Artist
Model" In the first act he wears a park
suit OF a rough brown material. The
coat is frock and fits like "a glove.'
With it his tie is a puff Teck, and his COL
lar, which stands straight, Is almost three
inches in height. This excellent costume
is completed with patent-leather walking
boots, brown box-cloth spats, silk hat
and white kid gloves with black site hing,
these being the latest style in gloves in
London.
notice that Him makes no remarks
about the white spats Mr.. d'Orsay some
times wears with this same suit. The
effect is said to be ''droll,' causing some
one to remark that sit made d'Orsav
look as though he had porcelain insteps."
The white spats are a result OF hearing
about the French Presidents freak, pre-
sumo.

the son of a millionaire the remark that
''his clothes were of course made by

1t is so extremely difficult nowadays to
have ones linen laundered in a satisfac-
tory manner that even in New YORK many
have given up having attached collars, but
OF course the attached cuff is a necessity
for any one pretending to understand
what is what. and linen when correctly
Numbered never has the slightest gloss, a
dull finish being demanded.
Men are included in many small informa al
'at home" and tea Invitations, and these
do not demand an after-call, but invita-
tons TO large receptions demand an after
call, which must be paid within month
after the entertainment.
When a wife is in mourning and her
husband is not only her cards have black

A man should never indulge in any
fanciful notepaper. Dead or iyory-white
paper is always correct, and may have q
rough or cream-laid surface. All social
notes and letters must be sealed with
either a monogram or coat-armor. The
wax must be carefully selected with regard
TO color.
A man wears black satin tie at the
theater, at small dinner, when calling

shapen corsets. If you cannot afford a
good, properly made pair and stylish
gown at the same time, first secure YOUR
corsets, as no woman can obtain the de-
sired result until your figure is properly
corseted. If you can pay to have your
corsets made to order by an expert French
woman do not hesitate, go to her direct;
but if you must count the dimes try and
see if YOU cannot be suited with ready
made one, which you should have sent
direct to your dressmakeT, as she will tell
you if it is what you need, and if any
changes are necessary will mark where
the alterations are to be made, for once
equipped with well-ftting corset woman
can wear the sim plest gown with satisfac-
tion and comfort. Stout women should
be careful not to let their corsets be too
visible: by this I mean that it is very well
to put them over their flannel shirts but
not over their silk ones, as the lower
edge of the corset IS then too distinct.
Many actresses even make this mistake,
and the result is bad.
I see that pulled sleeves have been
successfully reproduced in marble by a
French sculptor named Verlet, as he has
made his figure of a woman reclining on
the marble bench at the base of the pedes-
tai of the bust OF Guy de Maupassant, quite
up to date, for her corsage hts closely, and
the great pulled sleeves are said TO fall in
decorative puffs, the full skirt making
effective drapery, which falls negIigently
over the side of her couch. The puffed
sleeves are said to have given him an in
credible amount OF trouble, but the result
is SO excellent that critics are saying that
his figure will probably not become
ridiculous, but always remain artistic and
presentable, with the change OF fashion. AS
a result great many debates have been
in order as to whether or no the fashions
of to-day for women are not more sensible
and tasteful than formerly.

The Young Ladies' Orchestra is to be

which will not only be source of keen
interest to music-lovers, but also to all
who have appreciated the noble charitable
spirit which has prompted these young
society girls to do So much for the benefit
of others, as they have given no less than
seven charity concerts"
This has been dull week and as a result
there will be any number of affairs scram-
bled into the two weeks preceding Ash
Wednesday. MARcELLA.

One Thousand People.
A small party seated in the Manhattan
Club night before last was discussing the
question of acquaintance. One we'll
known lawyer said he knew as many
people as any man in the room, he did not
care who he was. asked if he could say
how many acquaintances he had-not
friends merely, but persons known casu-
ally and slightly. After thinking it over
he said 10000 y
II bet $50 ito So said another of the
party, "that you cannot name 1000 per-
sons of yourl acquaintance, and give YOU
all night to do it, The bet was made,
and the lawyer began, friend keeping
tally.
When, after two hours of hard thinking,
he had reached between 500 and 600, he
was going very slow and straIning terribly.
At midnight he was so far from the 1000

Emergency Bills.

The tariff bill which passed the House
last week provides that aduty be placed
upon wool, wooden goods and lumber
equal to 60 per cent. of that which the
Mckinley bill placed on those articles,
and provides that the present duty be
advanced Is per cent. on all other parts
of the schedule excepting sugar. Speak
er Reed refused TO listen to the repre-
sentatives of the industries who want
more protection and told them the bill
was for revenue and not protection. The
provisions of the bill are to expire on
Jan. 1, 1893, unless extended by Con-
gress before that time. The Demo-
Gratis fought it but it went through I'M
der Reeds rules without allowing an
amendment to be presented and by al
lowing only short speeches.
The bond bill which has passed the
House does not give the relief which
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle ask for to get the government out
Of its financial slough. II authorizes
the selling of coin bonds to bear 3 per
cent, interest, redeemable after five
years. 1t also authorizes the issuing
of certificates of indebtedness not to
exceed $50, 900, 900 by the. Secretary of
the treasury when the revenues do not
meet expenditures, bearing 3 per cent
interest. 1t also provides that the le-
BARTENDER notes shall not be retired,
nor changed, which has caused all the
financial trouble. The bill was drafted
without the clause compelling the re.
tention of the greenback. When the
| cheap money Republicans found that
out, about so told Speaker Reed they
would not vote for the bill and the
| House had to surrender to the cheap
| money men. The bill passed last Sat-
