are outlined with quarter inch satin

These little ribbons with the pickering
strings already in, to be drawn up at your

LACING WITH NARROW RIBBONS.
Lacing with narrow ribbons is a fancy in
the highest approval of the moment Some
times the ribbons are black against white,
more rarely white on black. Their use is
pretentious. rather than actual. They Sc
cure ends of lace prettily, and give an ex-
cuse for the inevitable dash of color de-
manded by French taste.

Yankee Wit Forever
In Gay Paree.

The presence of the Duchess of Meek
lenburg and the Landgrave of Hesse
did not prevent a certain American
woman who, not long ago. bought for
a few million dollars a French comte
Of good old nobility. from exercising
her Yankee wit at a great reception
given lately by the poet Marquis of NJ.
The Comtesse de c. whom one is
now accustomed TO see everywhere
without her husband, entered the
alone. She was beautifully dressed in
a summer velvet frock of a pale blue
hue, covered with a pointed tunic OF
to her custom, she wore nc jewels, ex-
cept at her throat an uncommonly large
turquoise, square cut, surrounded by a
circle Of sparkling diamonds. AS for
NJ. lie Comte, he was there already. for
he had brought with him Katia r.. a
young Russian cantatrice, who, thanks
to her superb voice and astonishing
yellow hair, has reached the pinnacle
of success.
When he saw his wife he advanced
to salute her. and then suddenly stop
ped, as If spellbound at the jewel she
wore. The Comtesse looked at him;
she was all smiles. and evidently in
good temper. A few minutes later the
| Comte and the beautiful Katia II. were
| together again, the former looking ex-
cited and the latter exceedingly i'll as
! ease. Soon they parted, and the singer
ma%noeuvred to get neal the Comtesse,
while her eyes never lost sight of the
magnetic turquoise. When the Com
Jesse got up she got UP also. AT last
both women arrived at the buffet,
which was crowded. and, imprudently
enough, Katia managed to place herself
just opposite the Comtesse.
Madame" the latter then said, In
piercing Yankee tones, attracting the
attention OF everybody in a French
crowd, you are not mistaken This"
(and she pointed to the turquoise) is
the same jewel which my husband took
a few months ago from my jewel box
and presented to you" Mile. Katia
turned deadly pale at this unexpected
attack, and tried to escape. but the
Comtesse put her fan on her arm and
went on: You sold IL for 10000 francs
at st. Petersburg, and my jeweler, who
! traced it, bought 1t again fc- $4,000,
therefore, It is mine. quite mine. and
you will please to leave me alone"
There was a flutter among the ladies'

gallery. Katia K. fell down on a chair.

OF young men. who took compassion
On her; the Comtesse looked perfectly

nowhere to be found. But the maiic-
ious people who are always eager for
trouble are much disappointed, for no
