THE WORLD OF STYLE.
Mrs MeKin.ey's Favor!te co.cr-How IT. wing shortens Hims mss'f-smart Gowns Worn by Society Women-Social
 Chat and Other Gossip.

Now that only an echo remains of the great Grant parade, one has time to reflect on the many little attentions that were paid to Mrs. Mckinley on her first appearance of importance in New York as the First Lady of the Land
 Above all, and pre-eminently first, the Mckinley family are simple in their tastes and the reception committee was wide enough awake to remember that Mrs. Me- Kinley's favorite color Is blue This del- icate tint suits her 1ily-white skin and lily like physique to perfection; just as rich orl- ental red is the favorite color of Mrs. Cleve- land and well suited to her full womanhood and robust health s
 The rooms at the hotel where the Presi- dent and his wife stopped while in New York were tastefully fitted up in pale blue There was even big bunch of forget-me- nots-which Mrs. Mckinley held in her hand as she viewed the parade from the window of a cottage hotel near the monu- ment. The day was wild one, and she wisely forsook the Grand Stand and her husbands side for sheltered quarters.
 The inclemency of the weather was antic- ipated; and cosy room had been prepared for her reception. A grate fire of log-wood made the room more cheerful The dainty muslin curtains were tied with big blue bows; canary chirped gaily in a gilt cage suspended by blue ribbon; and large bun- cheS of sweet peass shelped to remind her that New Workers loved her for her simple

Miss Grant is prime favorite in Society, not only here but in Chicago, where she is often entertained by her aunt, Mrs. Potter Palmer, in her Castle" on the Lake Shore Drive, near Lincoln Park
 I recently met Mrs. Potter Palmer, en route for Europe where she is probably the best known American woman who crosses annually She is considered a most saga-s cious diplomat and is lionzed whereversshe e goes. When she is occupying her home in, the windy city the Stars and Stripes doak from ths Castle" turret just as the U4lion Jack does when Queen Victoria is at Wind- sor She is a sort of Queen Victoria in Chicago.
 Her handsome figure when I saw her on the steamer wharf, was well shown off in blue worsted travelling frock, which hadsa double breasted Norfolk jacket with a sin gle plait well stitched on each side of the double row of buttons.
 Mrs. Palmer is warm friend of Sir Hen- ry Irving, the distinguished English actor. who is not only a past master in the art of stage craft and scenic effects, but also in make up. a,+-=t-.--. -i

 tastes. had not forgotten some of her fam cies, and were anxious to have her feel she was their guest as a woman, as well as the Lady of the White House.
 These little attentions are very dear to women and rarely fail to have the expected effect. When Queen Victortas daughter now the Dowager Empress of Germany left England at her marriage, her chief re- gret was at leaving the pretty pink room of her girlhood in Windsor Castle Her moth- CT had thought of this, and arranged her daughters private room in the great Ger man Castle exactly like the one the girl was leaving. To this day, the ex-Empress cher ishes every little knlck-knack that came from the loving hands of her Royal mother that day.
 The same thing happened last summer. when Princes Maud, daughtr of the Prince and Princess of Wales-"darling Harry" as she is fondly called by the family-was talk en to Denmark after her marriage Ito her cousin, Prince Charlie. -. - 4.y
 Miss Julia Grant, granddaughter of the famous general, attracted a great deal of attention while driving in Central Park the other day. She is a tall, distinguished girl with face that lights up beautifully in converse tion. When k saw her she was ex- quisitely gowned in dove gray broad-cloth which had a stylish open fronted Eton, the collar forming three square tabs. The coat was lined with delicate pink silk and she wore a muslin front of the same tint

Even our own country can produce giants, and in presenting us with Miss Ella EwitsE; America has excelled all the Fest of the world.

Her immense size is such that one can hardly credit it. A six foot man can easily walk, with his high hat on, under her outstretched arffi, Wl1fls her wondrously large hand is exactly two and a half times as large and wide s those. of a big man. Each foot is eighteen inches, and each toe quarter of a foot long. Chang, the Chi nese giant, was an awful big man, the biggest ever exhibited. Well, Miss Ella Ewing, Is equally as large in every way, and in some respects much bigger sp5- cimen than the Chinese colossus, as nine feet high in a female is relatively equal to twelve feet Ina man. Taken all Ill all her counterpart was never known either in heights weight, or wondfous proportions, and she thus becomes sub- jsct of great wonder and astonlshment.

A GOOD MOVE.
Round Bale Congresses to B Operated

Round Bale Congresses to B Operated
 x On a Comparative Basis.
 The fears of monopoly in the handling of cotton by the found-bale process, which have existed in some quarters, may be set at rest by the statement in she Manufacturers Record that it is authori- tatively informed tha the American Cot ton company proposes to operate it's cyl indrical congresses in cooperation with local planters and ginners throughout the soufh. gThe plan of operations that has been deeGsd upon will enable plant CTS and ginners to avail themselves of the benefits of this invention on a liberal cooperative basis wth a market for Iheir own cotton assured. The company will begin at once the introduction of round-bale compresses.
 In an interview in the Manufacturers Record, Mr Henry Hentz. psasfdent of the New York Cotton Exchange, calmly and accurately gauges the opposition to the new process, and from an independ- ent standp5int, supported by practical ex- perience, he 9lys thai: Tit is absolutely certain that cotton packed in cylindrical bales undsr the system adopted by this company will bring higher prices all the world over than tha. packed in the pre- Vailing style"

but his nose (which is Napoleonlc in-its moulding) to help him.
 Sir Henry is five feet eleven inches high. and despite his real name. John Henry Brodrib, is narrow chested and of slen- der build.
 But the likeness to Napoleon was start ling as he made his entrance at the first night production. He had cunningly ac- compiished this by wearing a sheath, over which the clothes Qac simlies of the gar ments of the Emperor fitted perfectly. Shortness assisted by the fullness of figure and width of shoulder, thus secured was aecentuated by cunning abbrev!ation of the thigh, brought about by cIeverly adapt ed small clothes. The transformation was most effective.
 sz. Mrs. Orme Wilson and her husbands sis ter. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr, are al- ways marked figures in the Sunday church parade along Fifth avenue. Last Sunday sthey were charmingly gowned in suits of zthe very latest patterns, Mrs. Wilson in vi- olet hammock cloth, with a pointed three sbutton Eton; Mrs Vanderbilt choosing d pretty novelty cloth and a smart jacker with open front, which was lined with plaid silk.
 Of the 59,000 men that marched in line here on Grant Monument Day, not a sec tion got half the hearty applause given the blue jackets from the battle ships, powder monkeys and all. The boys looked sturdy; and their uniforms, while neat, were in striking contrast to the spick and span newness of the feather-bed regiments.
 The spectators seemed to recognize that these were the chaps who are actually do- ing something for the good of their country. And the bands helped the enthusiasm by playing "They All Love Jack" and "A Life on the Ocean Wave as the tars and ma rines went by the Monument

 Ben L. Smith, who was under life sentence a Pratt mines, and who made his escape from that place nearly two years ago, was brought back and rein- carcefa ed in the mines yesterday morn ing.

 Some excitement was occasioned by the finding of a paper box with the body of n colo ed infant in it on a lot on Third avenue and Twenty-seventh street. Ohi- cer Mullen investigated the find and as- certained tha. the infant was the child of a negress named Lizzie Gordon, who claimed ignorance of any wrong doing in burying the child there. The body was reinterred in the potter's field.
 Jake Anderson, with an alias, is in the county jail charged with rape, the crime for which he is being held being chat of assault upon the wife of Ike Kelly, at Irondale, a few days ago.

FINANCE.

New York, May 15.--The Financier says that the causes that are responsible for the gold exports seem to have more of a change in the New York banks sta e. nlent for the week 5nding May 15 than the actual shipment of specie Itself. Thus while the present movement of gold to Europe has brough- about an apparent loss of between $1l 100000 and SIP 100000, the deposits of the New York banks in the same ~time have decreased only $5,- COG. GOO. while the actual cash reserve be- tween May1 and May 15 has contracted only $1 162, 400. The diffrence between the money with demand by exporters and rhe reported smaller deer; ases has been probably made up by the receipts of funds from the interior. Since the move ment to this center continues in una ba ted volums, .he effect of the exports has therefore been largely minimiZed by the receipt of new funds.
 On the other hand the loans of the banks are beginning to respond to the demands of importers whose largely in- crea sed business is without doubt caus- ing the outward flow of gold and the ex pansion in the loan item of the statement can be attributed to borrowings on im- port account since the narrowness of the stock exchange market reduced the de- mand for call loans. to low figure. In view, of ~the expansion in the loan &C., count. and the increase in the cash re- serve@ the increase in deposits was to have been expected. The Saturday snip ment of gold does not figure in the cur rent statemcnt
 The banks are still reducing outstand- ing circulation, which, during the money stringency previous to election, ran up to more than s2O,O00.O0 and the present total is just about what it was year ago. The. demand made seems to be governed largely at present by smerchandise im- provement. It has ,coTtinued in undi- unfinished volume during May, but even If an outflow begins from now and con- tinues 1t willsbe felt for some time.
