NO ORNAMENTS
 ARE W ANTED  .a Society Stirred to Action ;. Because Young Men -. Won't Dance.
A: Chaperon Takes a Young . Lady From the Co., .@ tillOn.
Indiqnant Danes Read the Riot Act to Dainty Young
 "ROvers."
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, Feb. 2l.
 Oakland society has declared against the "rovers" at the Saturday Evening CotiIlon Club. This declaration has created a sensation and resulted in the riot act being read to the ballroom ornaments, and also in one chaperon, a mother, taking her daughter from the hall after expressing her indigna- ton.
 The trouble all arose at the last dance of the Cotillon. For some time the chaperones have been quietly nurs- Ing their wrath, caused by the laziness. indifference or pride of Oakland's so- ciety young men. As is well known. when the german is concluded, the young ladies and gentlemen are at lib- eTty to dance with whom they please, and it is owing to this fact that many of the youths stand around the walls waiting to be asked to dance. To such a point has this come. that several of the 'chaperOnes, including Mrs. H. C. Taft, Mrs Gorrill and Mrs. Belden, de- cided that it is time to call the young men to order. This they have done Tn no measured terms. At the last .lance there were so many young ladies unnoticed that it was determined to make an advance on the wall orna- nents. Mrs. Taft led the way, and those young men heard more in two minutes than they could dream of in a Week.
 They had borne their distress and Chagrin long enough and as a result hot one little maiden sat out the even ing alone, as several have done on every previous occasion.
 ,-Y.- z T-- O,aI : was so annoyed at the stupidity, or worse, of the young gentlemen, that she took her daughter from the ballroom and went home. Others threatened to do the same, but it is now believed that there will be no necessity for such ac- ton.
 The chaperOnes have been at a great deal of trouble to lend their patronage to these dances for the benefit of younger society, and the mothers who cOnsign their daughters to their charge are naturally anxious that the young ladies should dance. If the cotillon is to degenerate into an ordinary ball, then there is no necessity to go to the expense of ball dresse and carriages, in addition to subscriptions to the club. Their grievance has been that the young men are too exclusive, and if they cannot dance with the special girls on whom they deign to smile with favor, they will dance with no others, but with glassy and marble hearts and stony stares they pose like statues in the corner, even though pret- tY girls may not be dancing, and may very reasonably expect to be asked by the ornaments.
 It is believed, however that the plucky action of the chaperones has ended all this, and that henceforth the dictum of the club will be-dance or get out

rapids Of the 500 as they flow from
Lake Superior down into the st. Mary's
River, and so on to join at last the
waters of Huron. On the top of this

the topography of the country, was

therefore, that the care and housing
of domestic animals should be left to
chance alone. Sanitary experts have
given their attention to barns and sta.
bles, until it is possible to-day to build
these structures so that they shall have
none of the unpleasant features we are
apt to associate with them. They are
free from OdoTs, from unhealthy emf
nations of all kinds, and from Vermin.
Such state of affairs must exist or
stables would not be tolerated in close
proximity to dwellings in the city
streets.
For some time it has been customary
in France to build stables directly con-
nected with magnificent villa houses,
both of them sheltered under the same
roof. The practice has been taken up
in this country, although mot in a
marked degree, as yet. The indications
are that it will grow in favor, as it
makes a strong appeal to the very
many wealthy Americans, horse fan
ciers and owners, who are building
villa houses in the suburbs, where
building lots are too expensive to war
rant a detached lot for a stable, or
where the builder wishes to retain as
much of his plot as possible for lawn
and garden purposes. It is to be noted
that one of the ,handsomest houses in
America, the show place of a Belmont
at Newport. is a combination Of villa
and stable. The accompanying design
is for a villa of this kind with a sta
BILE under the same roof, and separated
from the residence by covered drive
way. The plans and details are such
that all Objectionable features are elm
mated, our space being too limited to
publish floor plans, and any informa
ton in regard to them will be fur
