fer washing a pair every night to put
ting them on for the second time with
out washing. However, where this
does not seem feasible, 1t is a very
good plan to turn the stockings wrong
side out and give them a good brush
ing and a lively shake before putting
them on. One who tries this for the
first time will be surprised at the
clouds of dust to which this little pro-
cess gives rise. Where this method IS
followed stockings may often be worn
for three days without discomfort.
However, if one prefers to wash out
her stockings in her own room, very
nice pine forms are now provided upon
which to dry them
In buying hose it is always we'll to
get them longer than the foot, and one
should never fail, upon taking off the
shoe, to pull the stocking free from the
toes and the bottom of the foot. This
will save many a darn. Another very
good point is to always wash the stock
ing before ever wearing them This
shrinks the threads and increases their
durability by very large per cent.

'DlatqOqd Wedding" Of 1859.


NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Ever since the

had never seen such an ostentatious
display Of wealth. The millions of the
bridegroom; Don Esteban de Oviedo, of
Cuba, were exploited by the press The
fabulous value of the presents received
by the bride, Miss Francis Bartlett
was the theme of every tongue. The
wedding itself, which took place in st.
Patrick's cathedral lin Mott street

gal splendor. The costumes Of the
bride and the rest Of the bridal party
were made from the richest goods.
The very jewels worn by the bride
were estimated at 100000 Don Este

bride. but also that of the entire bridal

gorgeous beyond precedent, was held
at the house of the father-in-law.

fancy dress dance given fourteen years
ago by Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt. now
Mrs. 0. II. P. Belmont. The exact date
was March 26 1888. It still holds the
record for lavish extravaganza. Mrs.
Bradley Martin aims to establish a new
record. The Vanderbilt ball cost about
quarter of a million dollars. Mrs
Martins ball on next February 10
will cost at least $500. 00O

extravaganza was also demanded from
her guests. AS much as $500 was
spent by one lady upon her costume.
The average expense, however, of la

fairly reliable, for they are based upon
newspaper interviews at the time with

THE BRADLEY MARTIN BALL.
At the Bradley Martin ball not only
will the hostess spend more than Mrs.
Vanderbilt did, but she will call for
greater expenditures on the part of her
guests. The invitations read that the
costumes must be historical and of the
sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. 1t is understood that no
