Strange to say, there is more oxlae OF

1t is amusing to note that there is
even a vegetarian bicycle club in Lon
don, though now these would compare
with the beef-eaters in a century run is
not stated. When "a man is ordered by
his physician to eat meat only once a
day and not red meat, at that, he hnds
amusement, if not satisfaction, in the
astonishing list of things served at these
London restaurants, from oyster plant
croquettes to the mince pie made OF
apples. ~raisins, %currants, lemons, citrons
and lemon peel. The shaddock of grape
fruit, to begin breakfast with, IS as
good as a dose of quinine; and hg-bread,
containing a generous supply of chopped
figs in the household bread, is very APP
petizing. The cartoons make the boiled
celery which all travellers in Italy learn
to like exceedingly; and celery in every
form, is excellent for the nerves. So, be-
tween complexion and comfort the fruit
diet and vegetable varieties offer a larger
choice than one would think for a large
proportion of the meal.

A rainbow dinner.-The tables are
dressed with flowers representing the
coIors of the rainbow, each tint being
represented by a stripe of flowers upon
the immaculate wilderness of the cloth;
bows of the same colors are tied at the
ends. AS many colors as possible APP
pear in the meats, vegetables and saiaos,
the brilliant red of radishes and beets,
the tender green of crisp lettuce leaves
and asparagus tips, the lively pink OF
ham boiled in champagne, the rich
brown of the roasts and the varicolors
of the fruits, cakes and ices all making
a pleasing harmony. There are dainty
little cakes frosted with delicate blue,
violet, green, pink, etc.; ices running
the gamut from a rich, dark red to the
faintest yellows and greens, and bonbons
which repeat the hues of the seven
primary colors with artistic effect.
The frst-class jewelers., as well as de-
partment stores, are said to be using the
lucky four-leaved clover in all sorts OF
elaborate designs. First of all there is
a Iocket of glass between two rims OF
gold, and with a ring, intended TO hola
the genuine four-leaved clover whenever
it is found, the green beneath the crystal
making a pretty ornament, OF course.
Then they are set on bonbcn boxes Of
Etruscan gold, and into belt buckles, but
the prettiest is in garter buckles. There
is said to be luck in the garter, so it is
an appropriate place for the lucky clover
leaf. The four-leaved clover is the mas
cot of the golf player, whether man or
woman.
The glove figure was a merry one at a
recent cotillon. In its all the ladies took
off the left gloves and laid them on a
table. while the right gloves they hid
from sight till marching time. Then the
men chose a glove and found its mate.
The little gloves were ALL seized first, to
The little gloves were all seized first, to
with large hands. which resulted in the
American girls all having the best part

The satin flower has had its day so
long in millinery that it ought to accept
retirement in favor Of a newer fashion.
1t is noticeable that the up-to-date bon
net and hat show specimens of velvet
flowers. The shaded velvet roses are
wonderfully beautiful; the velvet orchids
are a trife stiff, for these delicate bog
jewellers cannot be faithfully represent
ed in such a dry-looking, material as vel
vet. The velvet chr-ysanthemum is espe-
cially rich-looking, and is seen on many
q touue, between the crush gown and
the under-brim %garniture. This flower
also is being introduced as a cache
peigne below the turning brim at the
side or back of the large velvet cart
wheel hats.
The very, very latest thing is to have
a purse Nnade of the same material as
the street dress. And, not only that, but
the purse must be mounted with a gold
clasp. and nave the initials of the owner
in gold letters Upon it. Another posi-
bility which it is whispered may descend
upon us in fact is to have walking
shoes made in dyed leather to match
the walking costume. This is a pretty
fancy. at all events, and has probably
come about from the tremendous and
universal success of the tan shoe, which
is so much softer and prettier than
black. and threatens to be worn in
winter as well as for outing and sum
