Those Who Talk and Know When
to Keep a Discreet
Silence.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER KINDS.
The Difference Between American and
French Politeness to
Women.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. q, 1885,
The cleverest thing that very clever
man, Benjamin Harrison, ever said, was
in praise of a certain lady. OF her he is
credited with saying: ''She knows how
to talk when you want to talk, and she
knows how to keep quiet when you want
to think" There have been books writ
ten on Glow to Be Happy Though Mar
ried," on How to Keep Husband" on
How to Get a Home and How to Keep
It," on "The Art of Living" Indeed,
there have been books written with all
sorts of titles, to tell women how to keep
their husbands at home and in love with
them, but there has never been book that
summed up the whole situation as well as
that sentence does.
MIR. James Banker comes home from
Wall street, losses off his business clothes,
dresses for dinner and then chats and en-
joys the chat of a charming woman.
Possibly, after dinner, he remem bers
something, his sentences grow shorter,
and wise Mrs. Banker ceases to speak and
permits him to think. If he raises his
eyes he sees a pretty woman who has
tact enough to seem employed about
something's book or a bit of needle

shades OF plain satin, which perfectly har-
monte. The undulating basque starts
from the hips.
Louis XIV coats are also in great vogue in
black velvet. They are a great deal longer
than the Louis XVI ones, and are worn
with very full skirts OF black satin or
velvet, or even with very handsome glossy
broadcloth. A correspondent says: They
have revers of white satin bordered fatty
along the edge with black velvet on which
is an everything vine of the finest white
porcelain outline the waist in back and
front. The broad back effect, without
seam down the middle, is preserved in
such coats. Lyons tulle, of creamy white
ness, IS IN high pleatings on each side OF
the satin stock collar of many folds, while
in the back is a large knot of white satin
covered with tulle- The sleeves of this
coat are of gigots of the velvet with cuffs
matching the revers of white satin and
lace"
The calling gown illustrated this week
has a skirt of green-face cloth the coat
being of green velvet, shot with pink. The
waist coat is OF pompadour brocade, flow
cred in pink and green. The buttons are
of exquisite pink and green enamel on an
ivory ground. Fine lace composes the
yoke. The toque is of shot velvet, green
and pink, and the feathers dark green.
The ornament in front is handsomely Jew
eled.
The house dress is composed of a skirt
of soft brown cashmere, the sleeves being
OF the same. The waist is very tasteful,
the front being of a pretty figured chine
silk, with crimson flowers on a light
brown ground; the rest of it is of crimson
velvet, with an artistic little gallon
around it. This dress commends

many such gowns made at home, and

lively wonderful to see how one woman
will spend exactly the same sum of money
on dress as her sister, and it will look

like French creation, but then people

with leap year there has, of course, come
IN some new ideas in the way of entertain
ing. The most amusing, and the latest, is
the WIDOWS luncheon. 1t was given ex-
clusively to young widows. The flowers
on the table were violets pansies and
hlacs, with their natural leaves, and great
quantities OF ferns, for green is the color of
hope. Candles were in their sticks and
made the proper soft light. The bouquets
were violets, tied with long mauve ribbons,
and the menus of mauve satin ribbon,
with the belongings, that is the coquettish
trappings OF widowhood-the tiny cap, the
Jet brooch and bracelets and the black
gauze fan, painted IN one corner. Glace
fruits were in dishes, with musical boxes
underneath; one, suggestively enough,
played

while another one took up that rolIicking
song which tells man,

AS far as possible the guests wore white,
black or mauve. The quotations on the
name cards were appropriate, One was:
Widow, so I say, be your own friend;
Your husband left you wealthy, aye, and wise;

One woman, whose widowhood was the
kind best represented by bunch OF ferns
and arranged for in Dakota, had upon hers
Lady Teazle's inimitable request, "You
made me wife, for which l am much
obliged to you; and if you have a wish to
make me more grateful still, make me a
widow" Another one announced that "a
widow has to assume all the innocence of
young girl without her ignorance" A
clever woman can get up an affair like
this and make no end of fun of it because
when the loving cup is passed around it

The Marie Antoinette fichus continue in

as velvet, ietted or spangled with steel

pinked out ruches or plisses. The fehu is
sometimes made rather large, lined with

The Hungarians have an irreconciIable
aversion to the name of Queen, and conse-
quently whenever female succeeds to the
throne of Hungary she reigns with the
title OF King. Thus, in 1888, when Mary,
the daughter of Charles Duras, came 10 the
crown, She was styled King Mary.
