feta. This was outlined with an en-
broidery of opalescent spangles. The
under portion of the skirt was covered
with wide lace fiounce. The bodice
was simple, softly draped one OF the
black net, and at the left shoulder was
a graceful bow of Nile green velvet.
A princess gown that was pretty was
made of pastel blue velvet, and had a
low pointed neck with a zouave of
rich lace coming from the point, and
falling in a deep cascade under the
arms. 1t was fastened in front with
three small buckles of brilliants, and
had deep fiounce of lace ON the front
of the skirt, the back hanging in loose,
graceful folds.
Others that were equally as pretty
were made of crepe chiffons, beauti-
full black laces covered with black pail
lettes, black mousseline de sole, with
plaitings in great width about the
skirt over soft white taffeta. One
other in particular was a princess
gown of satin brocade made with a
striking decollete which was daring
to the extreme, as the decollete was
drawn to point in which the dress
was entirely off the shoulders, and
the sleeves began at point two inches
below the shoulders. There was moth
ing above this line to cover the figure.
But such are the extremes to which
some society women go.

MARYLAND F0LKLoRE.
superstitions a. to Hunting, Witches
and Selling Ones Self to
the Devil.

Interesting stories drawn from the
folklore Of Maryland, particularly that
of the western part of the state, were
told one night lately by members OF
the Folklore society at their meeting
in Donovan room of Johns Hopkins
university. Mr.. Crum, who is native
Of Frederick county and graduate
student OF Johns Hopkins university
under Prof. Newcomb, in the depart
ment of mathematics, contributed
paper on witch Stories and Conjur-
ing" Some of the superstitions he told
of were as follows:
"A Hunting Charm-Whenever you
kill bear, deer or turkey, dip num-
Der Of bullet patches in the fresh blood
OF the animal. You must on no ac-
count give any of these patches away.
When you are out hunting again for the
same kind of game load as follows:
Take a bloody patch, well creased,
place your bullet on it, then cross your
self, and as you push the bullet home
repeat: Father. Son and Holy Ghost.
You will certainly bring home game
of the same kind as that whose blood
was on the patch. Do not keep the
patches near your bed or in your sleep
ing room. The spirits make noise in
the box where the patches are and will
not let you sleep. The sound is like
a watch ticking, but it gets louder and
louder, until you cannot sleep.
witch Killing-If horses are SO bad
ly bewitched that one dies the fol-
lowing will deprive the witch of her
power. Take the dead horse out into
a field and burn the carcass beside a
tree. First cut a cross in the tree,
then drive q nail in at the cross. Now
take your rife which must be loaded
with a silver bullet, choose a position
so that the fire is between you and the
tree and shoot over the fire at the nail.
When you hit The nail the witch will
lose her power, and you cannot miss
with the silver bullet.
"To Sell Ones Self to the Devil-Go
to the crossroads nj midnight alone and
play on the banjo. If you really wtnt
to sell yourself two black dogs will
appear and will dance as you play.
Then you promise something fearful.
Anyone who thus sold himself was
said to be able o outplay and Guidance
any competitors.
"A Method for Girl to Try Her For
tune-Put an egg to the fire and sit
an hour. The wind will howl and the
dogs bark and the man yon are to mar
ry will come in and turn the egg around.
If the egg bursts you will die Tor, pos
sibly, my informant adds. you will
never marry ."-Raltimorc Sun.

HIS YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
An Amusing Incident OF Oar sol-
diers' stay at Camp
Tampa.

All of the foreign attaches who went
through the Santiago campaign werenot
az cool and fearless as the two British
officers who were such favorites with
the soldiers.
Some of them were very much afraid
of the yellow fever, even before the ex-
petition left Tampa, and an amusing
incident is told Of one Of them. II
happened just day or two before tn
invading army departed from these
shores.
The army had been on the transports
for nearly week, but had been pre-
vented from sailing because of the false
reports of Spanish torpedo boats seen
near BY in the Gulf of Mexico. There
was talk about sickness breaking out
among the troops, but no serious alarm
was felt by anyone except the foreig
attaches. One of these especially wa.
very badly scared, and he overexerted
himself going around in the hot su.
in his endeavors to find out if there
were any genuine cases Of yellow fever
In or near Tampa.
The tiny Port Tampa inn, on the
long pier, around which all the trans
ports were huddled, was crowded with
officers wives who had come TO bid
their husbands good-by. One morning
an officer had been allowed few min
utes TO go on shore, and he and his wife
were sitting in her room. All at once
the door burst open and q tall man in
uniform staggered blindly IN. Think
ing he must be drunk the United States
officer jumped up and tried TO push
him out, when the man, whom he rec
ognized as one of the foreign officers,
fell Imply into his arms In dend faint.
The officer, helped by his wife. put
the unconscious man on the bed. He
soon yielded to simple remedies, though
not before doctor had been sum
moned. It turned out afterward that
the sick man had been looking for him,
and his room was the next one 10 the
officers wife's. The doctor said that
the foreigner had been overcome with
the heat, but did not understand why
his pulse should fintter like hysterical
girls.
Just then the foreign attache became
conscious and opened his eyes. He saw
the doctor feeling his pulse, and he
gasped out tremblingly, in broken
English: Fees it de yellow fever. doc

later Mrs. Oelrich's vaudeville show
gave the gossips something to talk
about for short time. But aside from
those there has been but little except
the ever popular theatrical party at
some of the better class of theaters,
dances and dinner parties.
During the engagement of Irving
and Ellen Terry theatrical parties
were much in vogue, and the brokers
reaped rich harvest from the wealthy
members of the aristocracy for tickets
of which they held a monopoly. A few
of the other shows of the season have
profted by this desire on the part of
society to entertain at theater parties,
but at the present time there is moth
ing on the New York boards which
they consider worthy of their atten-
tion, and so they have turned to din
ner parties of rather exclusive sort.
But while these dinners have been
to certain extent even more exclu-
sive than usual, yet the dining-rooms
of the Fifth avenue mansions have
echoed the mirth of gay gatherings
during the past few days, and will con-
tinue to do so until the days of Lent put
a stop to the frivolity.
The yanderbilts are wearing mourn
ing costumes in Europe, but the
Goulds, the Whitneys, the Webbs and
long list of other fashionables are
at home and entertaining society at
dinner.
Society folks court publicity in a
quiet way. The woman of fashion likes

That's what the ticket agent at the
Burlington station, Omaha, ran against
last Friday night, and similar expressions
he is running against every day.
1t all comes about from the fact that
the Burlington on its Kansas City night

given by twelve-section car. But sec
ton 13 is practically dead haul, for no
