New York Feb. FL want YOU all t.
! promise me to visit the Aquarium when
you come to New York again. Wait until
your shopping is done, when you are tired
of the Initiated air of the theaters and all
your business is completed, then choose
bright radiant day when living seems A
! Joy, take the Broadway or Sixth avenue,
| or Lexington avenue cable cars, not tha
| Elevated, because in taking the cable car
! you will see portions OF New York city
! that you have never seen before. Each of
these cars will land you at Battery Park
| 1t is the best situated park in NV York
| 1t seems such loss, such pity that We
had to grow away from it. and leave it to
the poorer classes and Immigrants only.
The Elevated Railway Company injured
its beauty by building their hideous stru2-
ture through one part of it.. But Presi-
dent Clausen of the Park Board has an
nouuced that the road would be elected
! entirely from the park, which is a good
thing, for the noise aud smoke and e.evl-
| ted structure has marred its p,acefulness
long enough.
The Aquarium is a handsome brown
stone building situated just few feet
from the sea wall.
| Under the administration of Mayor Gil
roy in 1898 the department of public
works transformed this property into m
| aquarium. 1t has an eventful history.
First it was a fort, then theater when
! not so many years ago. the lmmoi TAI
Jenny Lind, under the management OF L.
| T. Barnum entranced her audiences; aft
| er this, it became a landing place for i'm
migrants, until the transformation, before
| alluded to.
A house for the dweliers of the sea.
After doing" the Aquarium walk along
the sea wall TO an adjoining dock ana
| take the steamer to Liberty Island TO see
the home of Bartholdis statue of the God
dess. You will enjoy the sail ana you
| will on your return home feel that your
| outing was interesting and instructive.

| Willie X, Jr.
We had all heard that it was owing to
a lovers quarrel he had had with a beau
uful young Southern matron. His devo-
ton to her for the past four years is the
romance of the smart set.
She is so pretty, SO bewitching. so bright
and original, so impudent, so daring, 1t
! is only TOO easy to adore her.

Society received a severe blow this sea-
son when William K had to don mourn
ing and seclude himself. He adds the
sal atticum," the judgeship, the interest
the vitality, to the smart set here, that
the Prince offers TO society in England.
| 1t would be a great blow TO Mr.. Van
derbilt if death robbed him of his eldest
son. He is a devoted father, and Willie
| K, Jr., is very companionable to him. His
chic little wife, Birdie Fair of Califor-
MIA, might be unnecessarily alarmed about
him.
The latest fad among society men is
religion. Cambridge Livingston has just
joined the Catholic Church. Albert Stew
ems is seen daily, taking constitutional
/ with Father Ducey, and Herbert Clai-
borne the bright and popular occulist was
baptized last week into the Roman Cath
ic Church by Father Van Rensselaer,,
who converted him.
Green dinners seem to be the most popu-
lar this winter. A friend of mine gave
dinner a little while ago, that made you
/ feel as though you were dining with Ii
tania in her grassy fairyland.
The table was a mirror which resem-

pond lilies, with maiden hair and aspara-
gus ferns the fruit was mammoth hot
house grapes tied with bright green rib

festOoned with green ferns looped with
lilies and ribbons, the candle shades were
green and silver, the bonbons, cakes, etc,

/ Al each plate We're superb punches Of
green orchids tied with generous bows Of
| green satin ribbon. The room was i'm sha-
dow. our hostess wore green and white
chiffon. The splashing of the fountain in

one fancy that Puck was our major-domo.
I saw an enhancing gown Tor your af-
! ternoon receptions. 1t was made Of soft
chiffon, Of warm pink delicately paint
! ed with pale pink flowers, and Duchesse
lace. The skirt falls simply and straight
over myriads of plated chiffon RULES
| The bodice was an intricacy of lace and
chiffon, which was so plain as to make it
! impossible to describe. There might be an
Elton Jacket, there might be a collar but
whether there is or not II would take the
modiste who made It TO decide The
