away from her own attra ctive private
court. Her craze for 1t is Unsuitable.
This private tennis court of Helen Gould's
is lighted at sides and top by French plate
glass that renders it as clear as day.
Convenient shades can be drawn for the
shifty sun Around the room are rustic
seats for the players. with palms and trees
from the greenhouse alongside. Adjoin-
ing the court is a rcfreshment room, where
maid serves good things to eat after
every game. This court is constantly
patronizcd 10y friends of Miss Helen. her
cousins and cousins OF sistcrsIn-law. No
girl ever adopted her relatives-in-law as
thoroughly as has Miss Gould.
Mrs. o. H. L. Belmont. who. like her new
husband. is fond of the picturesque and
crotesque. now owns not only an indoor
tennis. but all other indoor gaines, arranged
and fully detailed as though out or doors

1t certainly represented a small fortune.
and yet it was worn with an easy grace
an unconsciousncss that was charming.
But the rurs this winter are not confined
entirely to wraps. Some beautiful cloth
dresses l have seen on milder days were
elaborately trimmed with bands of fur
together with velvet and chiffon.
The fur muffs, 1 am charmed TO say,
are generally the big generous muffs that
became so popular two months ago. The
smart shops show great and endless
variety OF dainty little muffs made of rolls
and twists of velvet, with an edging Of
fur now and then, and a bit of plated
rich old lace or a bunch of bright flowers
peeping from under the folds of velvet.
AT the Bais de Glace the other day saw
on one of the slcnderest, most graceful
skaters, a costume that was SO wonderfully
chic-a red princess gown. none too dark
in color, either, trimmed in chinchilla.

This SEASON comes upon us in two weeks
more ami plans for ii are under way.
There recently came up. before meeting
OF the United Country Clubs OF Tennis in
the suburbs OF BOSTON, the question OF
building barge public tennis court for
winter use. The scheme was for each
club TO furnish certain sum of money.
This sum to br invested in a tennis build
ing in a popular quarter of Boston.
Inside The tennis building should be twelve
open courts in open court yards, rooted
over from the elements. These separate
tennis courts oenid lie rented out 10 any
parties desiring them. with the result that
q very nice profit upon the original invest
ment should he obtained. the profit to 20
proportioaately to the clubs. according as
each had donated money for the original
erection. This proposition is so fertile of
suggestion that il might be discussed by
tennis clubs everywhere.
PRIVATE COURTS.
In the city OF New York there is .srge
and ever increasin & number of priva e tennis
courts. The requSiiion for private tennis
are less thar those for a billiard room, yet
presumably great deal more. The sine
qua non is "A space large enough for the net
and the ruleil-off spaces-enough to give a
good runway.

victory. In fact the local soldiers ac-
complished the heretofore unheard of feat
of singing 1872 songs in forty-eight min
utes, thus filcbing the laurels from the
brows of the members of the Quincy corps
of England, which until now has held
undisputed possession OF the championship
honors by reason of a former achievement
in singing 100 songs in forty-five min
utes.
The song service was preceded by the
usual exercises, and the hall was very
much crowded when Capt. De Garis started

Name" The vocalists were assisted by
g cornct and a piccolo player and hymns
followed one another in rapid succession.

hat, and equal riot prevails as regards
color. Many conflicting tints arc displayed
on the same headgear. and effects which
are decidedly nightmarish are not only
tolerated, but approved, because they hap
pen to have the sanction Of misguided
fashion. A navy blue hat, with red and
yellow blossoms and green Powered rib
bon, may be permissible but nothing can
make 1t beautiful OF tasteful.
Many pretty combinations are seen,
however. The oolors employed are mainly
frank and gay, but that is nothing against
them II they are properly employed.
Roses arc the fashionable flower and arc
seen In all the natural shades and in many
unnatural ones, mauve and purple nota-
bly,. These last named colors are having
a great vogue, both for millinery and cos
TUNES. Straws of bright, solid violet
are feature Of the season, and purple and

hats Of other colors. Violets, both white
and colored, continue to be popular.
