EASY TO A MAN WHO IS FLAT
"BROKE."

1.-THE ease with which a fellow can pick
the winner when he is broke is one Of
the most extraordinary and mysterious
things in the world" said a veteran turf
man to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. Science can't explain it any more
than it can explain why you are certain
to lose if you meet a cross-eyed man on
your way to the betting ring. but at the
same time everybody knows it to be 4
fact. l remember on II occasion 1 at
tended a winter meet in New Orleans.
purely as a matter of pleasure and not
intending to frivol much with the pool
box, The old st. Charles was then stand
ing. and the first MAJ / met when I
walked into the big pool room in the base
mcnt was a chap from New York, who.
for some reason I never learned, was
known as Johnny the Oyster AS soon
as he saw me he got excited, and taking
me over into a corner began to xplain
how he had been picking four or five
winners out of every card ever since the
racing began. OF course, I had heard
plenty of such tales before, but his earn
estness was impressive, and when I
looked over his greasy memorandum
book l saw he had really been doing ex-
actly what he claimed. 1t was marvel
Gus, amazing. ] had never seen such Il
string of accurate forecasts in my life.
He almost wept as he read them over,
ard finally he pulled out a Stubby pencil
and a programme for the following day,
Just to show you that this is no fake
he said, I'm going to check off to-mor-
rows winners, and after you see for your
self that I know what I'm talking about
I'd like to have a small stake 1 put the
card in my pocket, and next day. without
letting Johnny know anything about it.
l put w a $40 note on each proposition
he checked off. Every one of them lost,
and ! dropped altogether $40. Later on I
met my man wandering disconsolately
about the pavement. Well, old sport I
said, how did they come out?' I can't
understand it, he replied. moodily. It's
the first time such a thing has happened
since I've been in town, but to tell you
the truth l missed on the whole layout
BY way of comment l handed him the
bunch Of pool tickets. He looked them
over. turned on his heel and walked off
without a word. Next day he was pick
ing winners again, the same as ever, but
he said nothing more about a stake"

ELLEN OSBORN'S LETTER
SPLENDID GOWNS WORN BY SOCIETYS LEADERS AT THE HETGHTH
OF THE SEASON.

New York, Dec. 15.-Most public and
semi-publhc society functions, such as
used to enlived a New York winter, are
now dying. if not dead, of millionairism.
The multiplication of iive-million-dol-
lar palaces and the inclusion of private
bathrooms in houses far less costly-rel-
egated the living-roon,s to the third
floor and often cramping them-have
bred a reluctance to dance in public, to
which long ago the Patriarchs succumb-
ed. and now the assemblies, though con
tinued for this winter, are doomed.
The days of large private balls at res
taurants and hotels have departed. and
nowadays the smaller and more jealousy
secluded a function the more smart-a
rule to which there are no exceptions.
Under the new regime of sets-small
sets-costume as we'll as house-building
becomes constantly mure extrava CANT,
because a dress which is to be exhibited
only to a hundred, or less. Of the very
wealthy must strain to reach the PIN
nacle of the modiste's art. and then
must be flung aside.
The woman who. going much into So
ciety. can get through the winter on six
ball dresses is counted nowadays a mar

The outfit which this lady. to whom
dress is only one Of man, interests, has
found necessary for the present winter
includes for evening wear. a black vel
vet Princess costume, trained and hav-
ing lavish decorations of Honiton lace
value about $500: a graceful white dress
of the most exquisite Chantilly, appliqu-
ed over white satin, SO perfectly done
that the lace appears to be ISSUED in
the satin-cost $3.50; a dress of pale pink
crepe de chine striped with insertions of
Brussels lace, embroidered with green
leaves and decorated with spray of or
chids in part painted, in part the most
perfect of artificial fowers-cost $3.50:
a dress in chenill and silk with gold and
silver thistles: a dress of robin's egg
panne velvet whose skirt is made of
a series of founces beautifully embroi-
dered in White and eaged with sable:
and other dresses of lace, spangles and
groS grain silks tne cost of any one Of
which would a a poor mans rent, and
whose aggregate price is a competence.
This lady is not e~Xtravagant as such
things are reckoned: for while dress can
never pass beyond the stage where skill
and taste can be made to supply, to a

vel of economy. and from the number
considered necessary runs we'll up into
two figures.
The cost of an evening dress which shall
hold it's own in such company ranges
from 81 i for the muslin or point d'esprit
of the modest debutante to $500 for the
matron's lace and velvet.
A woman. not of the exclusive set but
who is nevertheless wealthy, given to
entertaining and being entertained, as
sures me that for the past five years her
expenditures for dress has increased, on
an average, 10 per cent, each winter
above that of the preceding season, and
this without the smallest attempt to vie
with others, but in obedience simply tc
the general trend of her social world.
From the accounts of other women
am confident hat in the same period
their dress expenses have doubled.

considerable extent the place of money,
it has reached the pass where materials
and trimmings are SO costly that econ
omy has become the most difficult Of the
sciences.

are brocades softer than satins With

firmly transparent stuffs spangled n

looks as if it had been ironed. To all
of these is added lace and yet more lace
lace spangled, lace jeweled and lace
flecked with fur. Lace wired, edged
with velvet and crusted with pearls

dice, while costumes of softer effect are
aided by barabOut features fecked with
silver ana gold.

Yet dainty. inexpensive dress is still
something more han legend. Point
d'eSprit sometimes eXemplifies it, with
piquant trimmings of black velvet ba-
by ribbon. Add a bolero of embroid-
cry net del.icately spangled with jet on
black or with mother-of-pearl or silver
on white, and you have the freshest and
the simplest of the seasons evening
gowns.
A charming dress lately finished in du-
plicate for the twin daughters of Mrs.
Ogden Mills-young girls not yet out
is of white satin much embroidered ON
the skirt with tiny ruches of white chif-
fon. The bodice has a bolero of white
mOusseline de sole crossed and recrossed
by horizontal lines of white baby ribbon
and an underbodice of swathed white
satin studded with paste buttons. The
style of the dress is the most bewitch-
ing possible for the undeveloped figure
of a girl in her middle teens.
Mrs. Mills herself has lately appear
ed in a moved En,pire dress of white sat
in, most exuuisitely embroidered half
way up the skirt with small silver pail
%lettes, forming flower designs with long
waving stems. Lower down We're inser-
tons of the same embroidery. The
sleeves were shaped of Il trellis-WOrk of
pearls.
Mrs. George Gould, who has so re-
duced her flesh by persistent Bicycling
that she has much improved her figure,
has been wearing at Lakewood a din
ner dress as effective as it is different
from those most in vogue. The ma
terial is white spangled muslin. and the
half-low. pointed corsage is bordered by
a lovely Marie Antoinette lace fichu. The
beads and spangles of the bodice are ar
ranged in arabesque traceriSs. and are
prolonged for soma distance Upon the

with lace aud fringe. The sleeves are
