JUST WHAT she WANTED.
And the Young Man Was Tryin1 "a
Hide Ii from Her.


There is certain young man who
IL just at present rumi1ating over the
truism that you can -ever tell about
women. He came to s.ew York few
years ago from a western city more
noted for its piety than anything else.
and has been of late living at an up
town hotel. Oddly enough, the early
piety instilled in him was not lasting;
he has slipped from grace at divers
times, and in q certain way cultivated
a taste for the cup that cheers. There
arrived at his hotel recently q little
party from his home city. The party
consisted of an old gentleman, his wife
and their daughter. The old man was
friend of the young mans father, and
the young man had q slight acquaint-
ance with both father and daughter.
The elderly man asked the younger
one to dine with him in the evening,
ami the invitation was accepted.
When the dinner hour rolled around
the little party strolled into the dining
room. They found the room filled to
overfowing, and it was impossible to
get four seats together. After some
delay it was arranged that the elderly
couple should sit at one table, and the
young man and the daughter sat at an
other. This man had q habit of prefac-
ing q dinner with cocktail. He knew
well the feeling of his host on this sub
ject, but he wanted the cocktail badly.
He knew the waiter also. and calling
him over. told him quietly to bring a
cocktail in teacup. The waiter smiled
knowingly and went of. Shortly he re-
turned with teacup, and the young
man alone knew it contained cheerful
mixture of whisky and bitters.
The waiter was in his day and genera
tion a wise man. He had seen this
particular man drink in the house un-
der all conditions, but never by stealth.
He set his gigantic brain to work, and
he evolved the idea that the secrecy
was for the benefit of the girl. and SO
he set the cup down directly in front
of her and smiled with a self-satisfied
smirk at the man. The man glowered
and choked. but could say nothing.
The girl looked suspiciously at the cup.
and then picked it up and smelled it.
Then a great light came into her face.
and she fairly beamed. She raised the
cup to her lips, and pausing, smiled
across at the man and said softly:
1T was so kind Of you! just what /
wanted. No one but you would have
thought of it. Positively. you are ge-

flowed down the girls throat, the man

FASHION NOTES.


Some New Notions In Ladies' COs-
tumes for the Season.
An elegant costume for reception
IS made of rich moire in gold and gray.
The princesse body is plain from shoui-
ders to hem. The front of the yoke and
the shoulders are covered with the
most elaborate embroidery in silk and
beads. There is a deep yoke below
the cutaway front, which makes half
low bodice. At the back the en-
broidery is continued up to form coll
lar that extends to the back of the
head and flares outward. There are
elaborate shoulder caps and sleeves of
embroidery and graduated sections of
the richest garniture extend from the
yoke to the hem Of the dress on either
side Of the front.
A princcsse dress OF velvet is most
attractive model. The body and skirt
are entirely without trimming, save
that there is q wide box plait of the
OF the skirt in front. This also extends
mp the front of the waist to the square
neck and is fastened with gold but
tons. The neck is filled in with rich
lace in shirrings and from the shoulder
seam to the top of the plait at one side
II q ja.bot of lace. The sleeves are full
ut the tops and close-iitting below, with
frills Of lace at the wrists.
A handsome theater costume is made
with skirt OF embroidery which al
most covers the fabric. Indeed, only
small space near the waist is left
plain. The waist is of silk, shirred in
full at the collar and belt. There is
wide corselet Of silk and folded collar
with frill of lace.
A pretty and inexpensive hat il Of
chip, with a trimming of wide gauze
ribbon. box plated and set on in ruche
around the crown. A butterfly bow and
full cluster Of wild roses and leaves
are an appropriate finish.
Parasols covered with chiffon inside
and out are popular. A stylish hat has
. brim full enough to form box plait
at one side. The brim is lined with
quilted lace. The trimming is of
plated fans Of lace and silk roses.
Tucks and rufies are very popular.
especially in thin materials. A dress Of
green organdie has the sleeves and
waist in very narrow serpentine tncks.

entitled "The Roll of Honor of til

1895, we on the 1st of the mont1
awarded a medal to a patrolman fol
! peculiar gallantry in stopping q run

which made the act one Of CRED
danger to himself and which doubj
less resulted in saving the lives d
those in the vehicle. The patrolmaI
thus rewarded was also later mad

officers. une had also stopped rll1

and the steamer from which the bo
fell at the imminent risk Of beinI
crushed to death between the two,
fate from which he and the rescue|
boy were saved purely by his pluc
and his skill as a swimmer. Hono{
able mention was made of two othd
oficers-onef for rescuing a boy frol
drowning and one for stopping
runaway horse. On the 18th yet al
other officer received honorable
mention for saving a man fro
drowning, and on the 2M a asergeai

played in stopping prizefight al

Tho Reason For It.

Mems garments button toward the
right side and women's garments
usually button toward the left side.
This custom dates back to the time
when citizens were compelled to go
about armed. When a lady took a
eentleman's arm, she usually walk
ed on his left side, thus leaving his
right arm free to use his sword to
defend her. Her left arm was thus
at liberty and her garments but
toned from the side opposite from
that of the gentleman's in order to
suit it.-People's Friend.

THE VILLAGE LAD AT PLAY.

Wrlt matter that his trousers bear
a patch on either knee,
Since roses in his round cheeks glow,
While sparkling glance and light laugh show
A spirit blithe and free?
With grimy hand he lnucllcs down
To let . marble fly,
Intently scans the spheres swift flight
And chucl;lcs in his deep delight
When luck approves his eye.
No mcrcenary gamcster he
That Graves rivals blood,
AS quick to share Dame Fortunes smiles
As ccr lie is to court her wilcs-
A gentleman in bud
He has not heard the city's Tar,
InsistcHt voices call,
Yet not bird IN wood or field
Nests long from his keen gaze concealed
He knows and loves them all.
No cares opprcss nor sorrows dim
The joys his projects bring.
For all life long or for q day
I'd rather be that boy at play
Than president or king.
