From Our Regular Correspondent
New York, January y, 1897.
In the New York count there comes
blue Monday, black Friday and vari-
GUS ether disagreeable DAYS. but Sat
urday is the special day of all the week
dedicated to the girl. No hostess is so
stupid as to give a tea on Saturday.
she knows that few girls would be
present and those who appeared would
be there not ty courtesy, but by COM
pulsion. The New York girl always
has her Saturdays arranged for not
later than the Tuesday before. This
is the day of all others that she dedi-
Gates to her kind, and she certainly
does prove the fallacy of the state
ment that girls can't enjoy themselves
unless men are along What does she
do? Well, here's a description of how
one special New York girl and there
are hundreds like her, spent her Sat
urday.
HOW SHE DRESSES.
After her morning bath, her coffee
and her roll, she gowned herself in
well-made, smart-looking cloth frock
that needed no wrap over it, not be-
cause she was counting pneumonia, but
because, under the glove-ftting bodice,
was worn a much closer Sitting cha
mOis jacket. About her neck went her
sable collar, elaborate with many sable
tails, while on her head was a small
cloth tOque, with a sable head in front
and two sable tails standing up in pom
pom fashion against a fan of white lace.
Her muff is trimmed with sable tails
and is big enough to hold her pretty
card-case, q tiny pair of opera glasses,
and a dainty handkerchief. At ber
waist is a quaint looking chatelaine
watch, for she times herself to-day,
and beside it hangs a purse Of netted
gold intended to hold small coin. Us
ually she meets the other girls at the
house that is most convenient to all,
but to-day they are TO be fOun5 at IL
o'clock sharp at the glove store. Mark
that Not at the glove counter OF one
of the Big shops, but at small store
kept by q little F'renchman, where
speciality is made Of gloves. wells and
hanGkerchiefs. Here the New York
girl knows she can get gloves suited
to her hand; here gloves are sold &C
cording to their fit and not according
to numbers. and the clever French
girl behind the counter thinks nothing
Of trying on ten or twelve pairs until
Mademoiselie is perfectly gloved.
The three girls who join this New
York girl are each as well gOWned as
she;
THEIR SKIRTS HANG so PERFECT
LY
that one knows they were ct by an
artist in skirts their bodices are eN-
act in their fit, and every part OF the
costume of each has been considered,
50 that, while it is rich ard smart
looking, it is perfectly adapted to any
hour Of the day up to six o'clock and
to walking. The gloves are bought,
visit is paid to a photograph shop, and
an engagement is made for the coming
week. A stop is made at a bookstore
and some books are sent home by one
Of the girls, who says she always reads
when her hair is being brushed. A
halt is in order al a chemists, and
another girl orders some fine soap and
some perfume that is IS exquisite as
it is faint. BY this time, my girl, we
will call her Angela, announces that
it is 1870 and time for luncheon. An
gela will be a JOY to her husband. for
She appreciates, with the keenness OF
an old gourmet, q god dish. SO she
saws: Girls. we are not lunching for
show: we are not lunching simply to
be seen. but we are going where there
is a restful room, beautifully furnished,
a table. set so it pleases our eyes, and
where we can get the best cooking IN
New York" And
ANGELA LEADS THE WAY
into the Holland House. Although this
outing is managed after the fashion OF
q Dutch treat still first one and then
another Of this quartette Of friends
takes charge of the day and makes it
matter Of pride that it is a success.
This does away with any discussion as
to the luncheon.
Gloves are removed. fur laid aside,
and with the head waiter listening 70
her order with respect, Angela speaks
distinctly. She says: First we will
have some caviare and anchOvies on
toast. after that. tell the chef TO select
some large smells, sautee them. and
serve them whole with a plain butter
sauce: after that, four ployer, roasted,
2 little underdone. and fetch with them
some thin slices Of bacon. very little
cooked. in fact. done soft; no, no salad
with the plover, simply celery en-
branche. FOR sweet? On, an ONE
Iatte soufle and then Turkish coffee.
The girls chatted and LAUGHED until
the appetizer in the shape OF the cay-are
anueared and after that they ate, as
men love to see young women eat WIN
healthy appetites and appreciation.
Everything was good and properly
served: they We're Young ana he3ithy'
and why shouldn't tboy enjoy the good
things Of life? What did they drink?
These Girls were csed 10 see plenty or
vine. and so they only cared for it as
n nroper adjunct: they We're too well
brad TO drink champagne at that hour
If the dav. so two Of them took claret
,,5oralv To color the water, and the other
two drank a very light white wine.
As thew fingered over their coffee. and
da1igbted in the perfume which is,
properlv enough. given to it at the Hol-
land House Angela said: Love may
ne the best thing on earth. but who can
love we'll who does not eat well? And
