Before the Paris week" came, Ia
eranie semaine" between the Grand Stee-
rrsrbase and the Grand Prix, which marks
ne elimination Of the season, all Of the
women in the known had dropped their
rrsts TO the fashionable level, and now
that the American women, who went to
Paris TO buy their clothes this spring,
have come back, and begun to show their
simmer gowns at Newport and other
places for which summer gowns are made,
this new Paris fashion offers itself TO the
sunrages of the American public.
Stavrnakers in New York say that this
new type of corset will undoubtedly be
the prevailing mode in New York this
fall; but it has happened before now that
an accepted Paris fashion has failed to
find favor here, and just as the pouter
pigeon is now only seen in the pigeonries
furthest from Fifth avenue, perhaps two
years from now this excessively low
breasted corset will. in its turn, have
been relegated to obscurity. and the bos-
orns of the Four Hundred have settled
once more to their natural positions.
A French paper relates that at a dinner
given by an American lady each chair had
lovely bouquet Of roses fastened to the
back. surmounted by a small white satin
pennant, upon which the guests name
was inscribed. The mems bouquets were
of red roses, the married ladies' pink,
and those destined for young girls were
composed of pure white roses; all were
fastened with bows of red, green and blue
ribbon A floral cOullion was danced at
the reception that followed the dinner
The decoration of the rooms was sump-
tuous: the doors being transformed into
pOrticOs Of roses, while the windows and
walls almost disappeared under festooned
wreaths Of the perfect flower. At another
large dinner reception the walls were
paneled with cushions of pink and red
peones set in moss and ivy, and the sup
per tables were decorated with enormous
corpellies of fruit and flowers with trails
of greenery which went from one to the
other The garlands were decorated with
punches Of cherry and grapes.

Tied to a relative of the sender. A paste
board box was wrapped in several thick
nesses of paper. The traveller had received
no information regarding the contents, but
as It was rather heavy, thought it might
be plum cake. However, she felt obliged
TO put it in her trunk. Instead of going
straight TO her destination she stopped
over for few days at a town en- route,
and did not open her trunk until she was
about 10 set forth again. The moment she
lifted the lid she perceived that there
was something very offensive in her
friends package. She felt constrained to
examine it, and found two boiled tongues
in an advanced stage of decomposition.
woman who was coming to New York
from a distant state was asked by a friend
who lived in the country to take a little
present from the country cousin to a rel
ative in this city. On returning to her home
on the day of her departure, she found that
the country cousin had driven in and left

containing a number of quart glass Jars of

pounds. The cousin had requested her to
