MONTE CARLO SUICIDES.
Ehefr Number Not Exaegersted-A
Witness Describes How One
Was Dealt with.

"I had always believed" said q man
who has just returned from his first
trip abroad, "that the number OF sui
cides credited to Monte Carlo every year
was exaggerated for sensations sake,
but 1 have been there recently, and I
am Inclined TO believe the worst. am
convinced from what l saw that be-
cause Of the precautions Of the authori-
ties there and the universal system Of
bribery which prevails only a small per-
centage OF the suicides due to the gam
ing table is made known. just let me
tell you of one that saw myself.
"I was in Monte Carlo on Tuesday,
March 20, when, in broad daylight,
well-dressed man walked out OF the Ca
sino, sat down on the steps, and, with
a revolver, blew his brains out. Such
Incidents were apparently too common
TO attract extraordinary attention, and
tn authorities of the place are always
prepared for them Almost before the
smoke Of the revolver had cleared away
lot Of mttendnnts.rushed out, and after
covering the body with saclSing, which
was kept on hand for the purpose, re-
moved It. All trace of the tragedy was
washed away, and in less than fivemin-
utes there was nothing on the steps TO
excite suspicion. have no doubt that
the authorities buried the body at their
own expense, and that nothing fur
ther win be heard of the case.
Every few Of those Monte Carlo sui
cides are identified AS a rule, they are
either broken-down gamblers or men
who have gone there with the inten-
ton Of recouping by a single stroke, OF
losing all and dying. Silence in many
cases is gained by granting to relatives
sum from the secret service money,
which is set aside every year from the
vast revenue Of the 'Societe des Bains
de Mer de Monaco for the purpose OF
hushlng up scandals Too much pub
iicity you know. might bring the hand
Of justice on tins establishment, which
ruins thousondso OF men and women.
"I met a few Americans there, but
they were either sightseers or very
cheap class of gamblers and bunco men.
You don't find your thoroughbred
American gambler, wasting his time at
Monte Carlo. IL Is the hunting ground
for the low-down bunco man, and he
can make more by telling Americans
hard-luck stories than by playing the
tables. II was that suicide, however
which impressed me more strongly
than anything else. couldn't helT
specializing as TO who the poor char
was, and how his friends or family
would account for his disappearance
That led rue to wonder how many sucl
unfortunntes were swallowed every
. year by Monte Carlo, leaving behind N,

FLOWER FASHIONS.
In These Days Sentiment Must lie
Sacrificed to style ~ TO.
EavOritcs.

Fashionable girls no longer have IA
rorite flowers. Sentiment is sacrificed
10 style.
Flowers for street wear must be
chosen carefully. They must be incon-
Fpicuous blossoms and worn only where
fashion dictates. Roses should never
be worn with a street costume. 1t is
incorrect TO wear on the street large
punches Of any flower.
Violets and valley lilies are the fash
ionable flowers of the moment for street
wear. The stems OF the flowers should
never be visible. They should be Gov
cred entirely by loops Of ribbon. Vio-
let's should be worn fastened TO the
left shoulder, but the valley lilies must
be pinned at the waist.
1t is bad form to wear five dollar
bunch of violets with a shabby dress
and a hat which has seen better days.
i is equally bad taste TO wear purple
violets with a vivid red dress. When
ever II is possible the flowers should
larmonize with the coloring Of the cos
tune with which they areworn.
Women should never carry large
lunches of flowers to the theater un-
less they are in evening costume and
are to sit in box. 1t is not good form
for a woman to walk down the aisle OF
a theater carrying bunch of flowers
us large as bridal bouquet.
Women should never over-decorate
their hair with flowers, nor trim the
corsage of their gown so that it bears
an unmistakable resemblance to a
hourishing flower garden.
No matter how fond man may be
of flowers he should study the time and
place for wearing a boutonniere. The
fashionable boutonniere of violets aud
white carnations should not be worn
with a sack coat in business hours. II
belongs with the frock coat or evening
dress. A man should never wear q
large rose in the buttonhole Of his coat
nor any boutonniere conspicuous II
size or color.
When giving flowers to young won
an he should not present them 10 hci
himself. He should see that they ar,
properly sent from the florists, an,
that his card is inclosed. lie shoul,
leave careful instructions in regar,
to the time they are to be sent if the,
are for any special occasion, so tha
they will not arrive at the last moment
When the flowers are to be carriel
with an evening dress to n dance o
the shcater he should ascertain IL pos
sible beforehand the coloring OF III
gown, for carelessly-selected flower
often mar the entire color effect OF a
otherwise exquisite costume. The ser
timent that the flowers will look we
with any gown is merely a delusion an
n snare.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

SET THF ICE CREAM AFIRE.
Aoseph Jefferson Tells of "A Funny
Incident in western
Thcnter.

Joseph jefferson, at recent dinner,
where he was the guest of honor, said
that he had been asked TO tel some Of
the curious and amusing stage Incl
dents that had come under his observa-
tion during his long career. In compli-
ance with this request he narrated a
number of ludcrous occurrences that
came to his mind on the spur of the
moment, and among them he recalled
the happenings at theater in one OF
the western towns a good many years
ago.
The stage properties and resources OF
this theater. Mr.. jefferson said, were OF
the most primitive kind. There was a
banquet scene in the play, az which
molasses and water did duty for wine,
and Sea Island cotton acted the part Of
ice cream. The stage manager did not
practice total abstinence, and his assist
ants took their cue from him.
On the night in question one of these
assistants. who was far from sober, in
placing candelabrum on the banquet
table. managed to tip lighted candle
over into the ice cream bowl. And the
spectators were instantly treated to the
unparalleled experience Of seeing ice
cream in a blaze
Their enjoyment Of the situation was
increased by the further mistake Of the
tipsy assistant. who. being Instructed
TO put the light out and not noticing
that the ice cream was on fire, stag
gered back to the table and extinguishet
the candles.

NEWEST IN DRESS GOODS.
Materials which Are BeInE Used In
the Makeup of the Seasons
Costumes.

Over a third OF all the goods ordered
from wholesale firms for the spring
trade is in plain fabrics, which fact au-
gurs well for the supremacy of the tai.
tornado suit. Every weli-dressed
woman feels the need of such cos
tune, and is glad to find new materials
of suitable color, texture and pattern.
Checks appear to be the leading style
for dress silks as well as for necktie
silks.
Bayadere stripes and plaids in ribbons
ere shown in large quantities, the for
mor for gowns and the latter for chill
drcn's hats.
Corduroy and uncut velvets IN gray
uTc fashionable, this color seeming to
have won its way into the hearts of fash
iouble women.
Plaids in clannish colors and Roman
striped ginghams are greatly used for
shirt waists, especially for golfng and
cycling.
Shaded, striped and figured taffetas
are stin leading silks for Innings, the
bayadere and raye stripes being almost
too new to be called popular as yet. The
secret of the delightful frou-frou that
proclaims without a doubt a sillIen lin
ingand underskirt can neverbe obtained.
however. from any of these. Only q
plain, one-shade taffeta, with plenty OF
dressing for both lining and petticoat,
will produce the desired effect.
Among the new fabrics for summer
wear crash viii hold its own, two Of the
newest styles being Belfast" and

Inc most attractive combinations OF col
ors.
In the new materials shown are
changeable and plain poplins, whip
cords, plain armure effects, drap d'ete,
drap de Paris and plain iacquards. In
extreme novelties are plaids. bayadere
goods. plain silk and wool cloths, with
raised silk and braid work, and others
with a crinlSled face Of fine overshot silk
mixtures.

these invitations are sealed with the
young lady's own seal in vermilion.
The parties are given in the afternoon,
and the guests begin TO arrive about
three o'clock, sometimes accompanied
by servants. The young hostess puts
on her lacquered clogs fastened with
scarlet thongs in order to receive her
guests at the top OF the steps, where
she bows very low to each, but does
not shake hands. All are conducted TO
