Well Drassed New York Girls.

"Your women here are better gOwned
than any l have ever seen in any con-
tlnental city" said a much-traveled
man. "I do not refer to the smart
set either, although, of course, they
almost invariably dress in good taste,
but to the women / see in the shops
and in the business district down

There seem to be two good reasons
for this frank and altogether cOmpli

papers had informed me that Van Cort-
land and his bride were staying at
this hotel, and l should not therefore
have been surprised to see the valet
had l not read that the multimillion-
aire, with true democratic simplicity,
was making his wedding journey with
out servants.

he was hurrying by. 81 hope that Mrs.
Van Cortland is better today"

The history of an ordinary day Of a
restoration beau was something like
this: From about 10 till II he received
visitors in his sleeping chamber. where
he lay In state, with his periwig. thick

coverlet. Near at hand, on his dress

Spanish snuff, smelling bottle and
perhaps a few fashionable trinkets.
As soon as he deemed proper the
beau arose and with incredible diff
charms, TO perfume his garments, to
soak his hands in washes for the sake
of producing whiteness and delicacy,
to tinge his cheeks with carminative
in order to give them that gentle
blush which nature had denied them,
to arrange q number of patches upon
his face so as to produce the effect of
moles and dimples, to dip his pocket
handkerchief In rosewater and to pow
der his linen so as to Danish from 1t

of an hour I'm the attempt to fasten
his cravat, SO long again in the en-

his hat, as long again In the contem-

glass and as long again In the practice
of such smiles as would display to the
best advantage the ivory Wilderness Of
his teeth-these were the processes
through which he who desired to fig
ure as beau of the first magnitude
was compelled In that age to pass.
The character of the beau, SO far as
his outward and personal appearance
was concerned, was now complete, and
as in those days fashionable gentlemen
used their legs to a much less extent
than they do now our imaginary beau
would have directed his valet to order
a sedan chair without delay. Into
this he stepped and was borne to the
fashionable haunt-to the mall in st.

ceremonious parade in Hyde park
