Liny, too, wished very much to know
how the old man had enjoyed his visit
to the country. and what he had
thought of Julia Gregg's fine home. A
vision of his bewilderingly happy face
would rise before her every time she
drove towards the city; whenever she
tied the horse a square back OF the

Havana Letter.
Ludlow, as military governor of Havana
city, does not strike the writer as being
happy appointment He is hasty, quick
tempered and intolerant, and in 40 way
compares With the calnner, cooler, more dip
lomatic and more masterful officer, General
Greene, who, it was first supposed, would
get the position that General Ludlow now
occupies. General Ludlow has surrounded
himself with a group of men who allow
their swords to trail and clank upon the
floors of the corridors, who awsk' for
''menials. wear their hats cooked on one
side of their heads. and whom he calls his
staff.
General Ludlow has already managed to
fall out with his fellow-officers. Colonel
Moulton, who was appointed chief of the I'M
organized police, and who is an able officer,
selected for the position by General Greene,
has had his plans for the formation of a
force vetoed by General Ludlow, and be-
sides has been Inundated by the appoint
ment of the Cuban General Menocal 10 the
post of chief of police. WITH the announce
ment Of the appointment there appeared in
the local papers a notice that all assign
ments made by Colonel Moulton had been
Cancelled. Moulton is naturally very indig-
nant about this and so Is General Lee, who
complains that Ludlow attaches 70 himself
all the troops as fast as they arrive.

fed form OF evening dress? Ii is q neces-
sity 10 every man who would be well
dressed, indeed, but it is not to be used as
a universal substitute for the coat with tails.
There are those who say that 1t should
never be worn except in the house or at the
club. or at least on occasions when only men
are present. This is a safe rule TO follow.
but at the same time the discreet person
might be trusted TO wear IL even in the

where strict evening dress might be re-
garded as too formal or at ordinary theat-
rical performances. For the opera IL is, in
our opinion, unfit, and we should regret TO
see 81 generally worn there, even though
the white tie and the plug or gfbous hat
were left at home. The opera is distinctly
an occasion for full dress, and the house
coat does not constitute full dress.
