Aristocracy Open to Offers.

The following advertisement lately
appeared in an English newspaper:
"Directors wanted of good social
standing for new company now in
course OF formation: qualification will
be found for selected applicants, and
remuneration will be on a liberal
SCALE" To this there were al re-
plies received: one earl, one viscount,
four barons. seven baronets, one
knight, thirteen honorables, six mem
bcrs of parliament, four generals, one
admiral, nine colonels, four majors.
fourteen army captains, three minor
naval officers and Seventy-thr with
out rank Or title. There were some
very amusing letters accompanying
the applications. The earl said: Il
need not point out that, should you
entertain my proposal, an important
leverage in procuring a good subscrip-
ton of public capital will be gained
by my title, which is an old one, and
likely to prove an attraction to in
vestors. I may also state that if
appointed l should always make it a
point of driving to the general meet
ings in my brougham and pair, with
servants in full livery. This, | have
been told by friends sitting on COM
pany boards, is a great factor in in
spring shareholders with confidence"
One OF the barons wanted to know
IF the fees were paid in advance,
irrespective of any profits made by
the company. One of the members
of parliament wrote that he had no
doubt that, if he were appointed, it
would result in heavy purchases of
shares in his constituency, where he
was very popular. and" he added,
"it would be well if the bona-fides of
your scheme were assured-at anv
rate on the surface" The last part
Of the sentence would seem to rather
give the virtuous legislator away. as
he evidently did not care whether
the scheme was good or not.-Finan-
cial World.

There are several means offurnish.s

sists en-, with an open-front natty
little coat, tight fitting in the back,
with medium sized leg of mutton
sleeves.
The feature OF the coat was single
dart on each side running from the
shoulder and making it cling closer to
the waist with very pretty effect. On
this we're five gray frogs of darker
shade. She wore soft blouse front
OF cream chiffon with strips of cream
lace insertion let in. A very stiff
double bow of chiffon, held in place in
the centre by diamond buckle, was
worn at the throat. White gloves,
heavily stitched, and huge picture
hat completed the an outfit that made
many al eye follow her with envy.

body knows, was Miss Caroline Aston,

Four Hundred, and delights to chap
erone young girls TO matinees. saw
her the centre of q group Of bewitch.
ingly pretty young misses last week.
Among the girls of her party was q
beautiful miss Of perhaps sixteen sum-
mers who attracted general attention.
Her fair hair hung loosely ever her
ears in profusion, and her frock was
noticeable for its iaunty air. It was of
the new coarse cloth IN large checks
now SO popular-a stylish mixture of
blue, red and green, checked off with
a smothered white line. The skirt
fell to the boot tops, and the coat was
short and open-fronted. The revers,
pockets and bottom of the jacket,
which was rounded at the corners, had
two rows of stitching. And in har-
mony with this, she wore q plain blue
silk shirt.waist, with white linen collar
and a blue Windsor bow. Nothing
could have looked sweeter or more
girlish. The hat was rough blue straw,
OF the sailor pattern, with large ros.
cites of green incline OF each side, out
Of which blue wings stuck defantly.
She wore one of the new green leather
belts.
Violets are more than ever in vogue.
Entire hat brims are made OF them.
Jeweled belts of every description are
to be worn this spring. Consuelo
Vanderbilt, Duchess Of Marlborough,

Mary Mannering, the young and beau
1i'nl new leading woman Of the Ly'
ceum Theatre, who is making O very
fine impression here in the theatrical
world. Her dress was as simple as
Mrs. Gould's was elaborate and even
more striking on account of its SIM
plicity. She carried the air Of early
spring in an extremely dapper tailor
made gown of sage green and fawn
seeded mixture, with a perfectly plain
skirt, haring prettily at the sides and
back. The jacket was closely fitting
Elton, open front, with double revers
reaching to the arm at the top and
narrowing down at the waist, the
front rover being far enough below
the waist line to form tab, on which
are three handsome buttons.
The novelty Of the costume was the
belt, which was part Of the jacket and
was brought from the right under-arm
seam, going beneath the tabs and
hooking at the left under arm seam.
BY this clever device, the coat was kept
we'll in at the back and sides, giving
an exceptionally neataud jaunty effect.
A stiff bosomed shirt, a long black
satin tie, fawn gloves, and fancy
green straw hat, fairly smothered in
violets, made up the costume. Miss
Mannering attracted more attraction
than some of the best pictures. She
was an animated water color herself.
Miss Viola Allen is tall and dark,
with figure just plump enough, q
clear white complexion and eyes of
deep blue. She would not be picked
out for q beauty, as the ordinary
standards go, but her expressive face
would attract attention anywhere.
She is noted for her excellent taste in
dress, always affecting quiet colors IN
her private gowns. On recent after
noon she wore a handsome slate blue
broadcloth skirt, plain and presse d
as tailor built woman invariably in.

The Drum mer,s Love Letter.

He hurried up to the Office when he
en- tered the hotel, and without waiting to
register, inquired eagerly, ANY letter for
me?' Tho clerk started over package
with the attention that comes OF practice,
then threw one--a very small one--on
the counter.
The travelling man took it with a Curl
Gus smile that twisted his pleasant look.
ing face into mask of joyful ex pectancy.
He smiled more .ss he read it, Then
oblivious-of other travellers who jostled
him, he laid it tenderly AGAINST bis lips
and actually kissed it.
A loud guffsw startled him. Now
look here. old fellow" said a voice, that
won't do, you know. Too spooney for
anything. Confess now, your wife did
not write that letter"
mo, she didn't" said the travelling
man with an amazed look, as il he would
like to change the subject. THAT letter
is from my best girl"
The admission was so unexpected that
the trio OF friends who bad caught him
said no more until after they had eaten a
good dinner and were seated in a chum .
room. Then they began to badger him.
It's no use; you've got to read it to Us,
Dick" said one Of them. "We want to
know all about your best girl"
$50 you SHALL" said Dick with great
GOODNESS. al will give you the letter and
you can read it yourself there it u.s." and
he laid it on the table.
II guess not" said the one who had
been the loudest in demanding it. "We
like to chaf little, but I hope that W e
are gentlemen. The lady would hardly
like to have her letter read by this
crowd"
"But insist on it there's nothing to
be ashamed OF, except the spelling.
That's little shsky, III admit, but she
won't care in the least. Read it, Hardy
and judge for yourself"
Thus urged. Hardy took up the letter
shamefacedly enough, and read it. There
were only few words. First he laughed
then swallowed suspiciously. and as he
finished it, threw it on the table again
and rubbed his hand across his eyes.
"Pshsw!" be said, iii had love letter
like that"
Fair play" cried one Of the others,
