older member Of the group, looking in
to the gas log at the club, cor, rather,
have you not always noticed the mark
edly different effect upon the mind
exerted by the coming of the Septem-
ber equinox and that Of March? The
arrival of the fall equinox seems to fill
the whole human tribe with gloom;
that of the spring with impatient joy.
l contend THAT these effects are uni
versal and that their causes are pecu-
liarly simple. OF course, am talking
about attitudes ap7roximating our own.
In the decline ct the year. as the sun

growing gray and wrinkled, as the days

dread. These hera:ds of the stiffening

corpse in morgue. give warning not
only that the melancholy days are

soon begin 1t is different in middle
March. Then the patter OF the drop
ping rain holds out promise. The
song birds are seeking summer homes
again. The reviving grass and the ten
der mounds which burgeon upon the
Isap-thrilled branches of the awaken

Of life and love. The restored brooks
babble that they have thrown of their
shackles. Daily the sun burns more
ardently upon all the pulses c; the
stirring earth. The air is full of
promise. Man feels hope again. and
divine thrills. born he knows not why,
move the deeper fountains of his

who listened looked duly impressed by
the depth and poetic beauty Of his
sentiment. That is. they did until an

Many OF the Empire dresses worn at
ordinary evening gatherings are pictur-
esqur enough to suggest fancy dress.
So are the new 1870 gowns. Indeed,
what with the seasons fancy for nick
Ing and choosing at will almost at
rtnGom. from among the modes OF The
First Empire. the whimsles OF Louis XIV
and Louis XVI, the nations OF Directory
days, the ideas OF the cavaliers and
even OF the Stuar;s. 1t requires only the
most moderate exercise OF the imasIna-
tIon to find in any ball room n panara-
ma illustrating the history OF costume.
Perhaps the 1880 dresses are repro
duced with the most exactness. They
are made usually OF Whit silk gauzc
and are nounced frbm the hem to the
waist line.
These are not neatly SO attractive as
the most recent editions Of the Empire
dress. which also Is nj its best In gauze,
crepe de chine or scme diaphnnous fab

enough not to hide wholly the outlines

A fascinating Empire dress lately
worn by Miss Elsie French, soon to be-
come Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, was of
gauze with n wide band OF moonlight
blue velvet in tn, form OF n bolero
around the dccolrtc neck. The velvet
was embroidered with shlmmering sill
YER and the sleeves were IL series OF
puns alternating with other velvet
bands.
For young girls back net has become

The widespread prejudice against the

well founded. In n recent investigation,
NJ. Pluger has found that dogs and car

when fed exclusively on horse meat,
and the dogs steadily lost weight The
harmful substance, which is not yet
known. is dissolved by both water and
alcohol. the meat being made harmless
by soaking. II was suspected that the
Injurious effects might be connected
with the poverty OF horse flesh In fatty
matter. but the addition of horse fat
did not lessen the itestipal disturbance,
although the fat Of mutton. beef or pork
seemed 10 have antI-toxic action, and
made the horse flesh harmless. To
render this meat wholesome, therefore,
II is recommended to cook with half
an ounce OF the kidney fat of beef or
mutton for each pound, the meat being
also boiled and the water thrown
away.
