the first one of the year. 10 Of great signiacancein
the world of fashion In London, but this years
was one OF exceptional interest, and as tho Queen
personally held this function the scene was one
of unusual brilliancy in the costumes Of the
women. The Queer and the ladies in the royal
circle were all dressed in black or black and
white, but every color known was represented
by the ladies who attended. Satin gowns,
either brocaded or plain, were tho rule, and
many Of the trains were made of velvet in some
contrasting color or OF the same satin lined with
another color. and all arranged to hang from
each shoulder.
The special feature of drawing room dress
was the abundance Of fine real lace, some OF
which was of great historical value. A square
of fine point d Angleterre, which was the prop
crty of Marie Antoinette, was worn by one
woman, caught in at one shoulder where the

We're wrought in the pattern. Point lace worn
by the Empress Josephine adorned another
gown. and was held in place by gold buckles
worn by George ~. Fine Mechlin, Chantilly,
and Venetian point were well represented, and
other superb laccs, both old and new. Quiet
elegance and not so much garish splendor In the
use OF strong contrasts OF color characterised
the prevailing modes of dress. Scarfs and
trains of many gowns and caught up Will spraye

embroidery had a place on brocaded silks. whore

vacant seats. But a moment later an agitated
French maid, with a damp, dishevelled child

upon holding the dog; the dog, being Of an active
and ,venturesome temperament, made q lunge
and brought up in q dripping, muddy heap upon
the skirts of the immaculate frock coat. The
maid stammered apologies; the B b. treasured
her in exquisite French, and then held the door
open for the matinee girls who were going to the
Garden Theatre.
At Twenty!third street he once moro pulled
the strap, to stop the stagei but this time he
adjusted his coat, settled his hat firmly on hip
head, and grasped his umbrella. He had served
his term.
As he left the stage the little school ma'am.s
mirth overflowed. She looked at him with
twinkling eyes, and, regardless Of proprloties,
smiled broadly; but the humor of the fashion In
which he had worked his way down Fifth avenue
did moi. seem to appear to him. He yves a.

He returned the teachers smile because she
was a young woman, not because he had acted
as conductor, and she fancied she could hear the
melody he was humming inwardly as he swung
nonchalantly down Broadway and disappeared
in the rain.

Riding on sunday Legal.

In number of instances within the last
few months the Justices courts of this
State have thrown out suits brought by
wheelmen for damages done their wheels
upon Sundays, on the ground that the rid
ing Of wheel for pleasure was violation
Of the law. The law under which this
actien was taken was passed in 1906, and
amended SO as to include cunning and
hunting in 1854. As a matter of fact the
law has for four years been dead in reality
as well as in the Observance of its pro.
visions. On February %, 1893 this law
amending or rather wiping out the old law
so far as most Of its provisions are concern
ed was enacted:
THAT from and after the passage of this
act it shall not be unlawful for any person
or corporation, on the Christian Sabbath,
the first day Of the week, commonly called
Sunday, TO print. publish and sell news
papers, to sell and deliver milk, or to walk,
ride or drive for recreation, and to hire
horses and carriages or other conveyances
for riding or driving. And that all acts or
parts of acts inconsistent with the provi-
sions of this act be and are hereby re-
pealed."
Riding and driving for recreation cover
the case of wheelmen, and they are there
fore entitled to all the rights an5 privileges
of persons who sustain injuries while doing
legal act, in case the injury is the fault
of another person. and they are also liable
