From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
1t is not little amusing to read among
the advertisements of cast-off clothes in the
columns of the Unionist Irish Times an
nouncements of court dresses for sale or
hire during the coming Dublin Castle sea-
son. There is no lack of variety, and no
dirty pride" in the manner of the adver-
tisements. For instance: Castle season

SALE" and so on. One enterprising London
all sorts of costumes for the castle ball sea-
son. There is no reason, perhaps, why
trade should not be done in castle costumes
when there are people of position who are
endowed with frugal minds. But there has
been a dark rumor in Dublin for a long
time that trains and other forms of femi-
nine finery have been lent for a considera-
ton without the Intervention Of anybody
connected with the "old clio =" fraternity-in
other words that some distinguished ladies
themselves at times do a little seasonable
trade.
This hiring custom is an old one, and an
advertisement published in Dublin paper
in 1874, said to have been read in the house
of commons, ran thus: Dublin Caste-No-
tice-Gentlemen who propose attending the
approaching leyee at the castle can be sup
piled with dark brown court dress on hire
for Is. 3D. per suit each day. Secrecy OBJ
served. This being the lowest charge made
for the hire of a dark brown suit to the
humble class of people for tee-total and re-
peal professions, fancy balls, etc. there can
be no deviation from It," These were the
DAYS of the Father Mathew temperance and
O'Connell's repeal movements.

and pose which easily make woman
mistress of the drawing room graces.
There is the correct way of walking.
There is also the walk of the passing fash
ion.
To walk smartly and according to the
prevailing style one must have the athletic
swinging gait. Milady puts her foot down
in firm, determined way, with a long and
easy step and a decided swing from the hip.
To acquire this swing the fashionable girl
Is practicing athletics. At a gymnasium or
in the seclusion of her boudo!r she toes
the mark" and then takes first position
one foot behind the other, and all the
weight on the front and right foot. Then
the other foot is raised so that the toe alone
touches the ground. This is not done with
the muscles of the foot, but with those OF
the thigh.
With the second movement the foot is
brought forward, hanging perfectly limp.
Strengthened and the foot falls into pace.
The foot must not be set down; it must fall
by the action of the knees in Strengthening.
Thus, by slow degrees is the novice initi-
ated in the mysteries of walking-at least,
of the present style of walking.
There is another fashionable gait, which
Is the opposite of the athletic gait. There
is decided droop forward from the waist
and a rigid poise of the body from the hips
up to the head, the elbows being held out
from the sides with military stiffness.
The athletic or military stride may be
very well for fashionable promenade, but
body and head. is recommended as the best
aid to good figure and complexion, and
let it be brisk walk in the sunshine.
1t is difficult to give any specified number
of miles or hours for a woman to walk. A
good rule is to walk until one is just short
Of being tired. Don't attempt too much at
first. Begin with short walks and grad
ually increase the length. Walk in proper
dress. Do not wear trailing skirts or thin,
high-heeled shoes.
A fashionable woman who wore French
heels once asked a famous artist how She
might acquire a graceful carriage. He
looked at her gravely and answered:
Take off your high-heeled shoes and
place them on top of your head. When you
can walk with those shoes perfectly bal
anced you will have the gait of a goddess,
and for the first time since French-heeled
shoes were invented they will have served
to help and not to disfigure a woman"

The momentary passion for covering every
available spot with grapes has passed. but
in odd gimps, buckles and many sorts of
rich appliques the decorative fruit is still
seen in discreet quantities on the finest raj
ment.
Some trig gowns for between seasons
wear show the bacchantic emblem in jacket
fastenings of gimp and applique. The first
is cut cut of the dress material-usually
cloth-and appliqued at the edges of the
garment. with light wadding Of cotton be-
tween. The stems are Of the gimp and the
tendrils Of the embroidery silk, and clasp
hooks join the two punches at the bust.
Many of these smart suits. which are
otherwise of surprising plainness, display
the grape trimmings only at this point.
Again. the wide sleeves Of the Jacket may
have a band of the gimp with one or more
punches. but the best effects always show a
sparing use Of the fruit. which must have
luscious bigness to be effective.
As to the size, remember the purple Con-
cord and do not let your dressmaker per-
suade you into anything smaller. The little
grapes, which must be used IN more lavish
quantities have. somehow. a mean look-as
If blight had fallen upon the crop-and

disrepute.
A stunning walking suit ordered for Lake
wood is of smoke-gray cloth, with grape
Jacket fastenings in the same tint. The cir
cular skirt, which has only three seams, is
ornamented at the bottom and hips with
three tucks Of two-inch width. Similar
tucks decorate the flowing sleeves above the
gimp and applique band, the half-loose
jacket itself being somewhat on the Norfolk
order. Further ornamentation for the jacket
Is made by bias band Of the cloth outlined
with plain gimp and tracing round-yoke
effect. This extends down the fronts of the
coat and borders the bottom, the fronts
meeting with three diamonds Of the plain

WANTS MONEY FOR
LIGHT WITHHELD
Litigant Serves Notice on
City Clerk to Refuse
Payment.

D. w. Lawler, who is representing
J. T. Broderick in his suit against the
Cleveland Vapor Lighting company,
yesterday served notice on City Clerk
Mat Jensen that if he paid any money
over to the company for services rem
dered it would be at his own risk.
The money in question is for serv-
ices rendered during February, and the
amount, very nearly $4,000, was Or
dered paid by the two bodies of the
council at their last meeting. Assem-
blyman Arnold then entered an OBJ
lection to the payment Of the bill, but
he was alone In voting against 1t.
Broderick is engaged in trying to
have set aside the contract made by
the council with the Cleveland Vapor
Lighting company, on the ground that
an error was committed in not giving
1t to the Western Lighting company,
who made a lower bid, and Mr.. Law
ler's warning to the city clerk was
given in anticipation Of decision that
he expects.
Even in the event that the court
holds the Cleveland company has no
right to the contract 1t is now filliHs,
Corporation Attorney Markham has in
formed the members of the council
that 1t cannot withhold payment for
any services so far rendered. The
city, In fighting the case, is making
the defense that the contract is a legal
one, and it would have no ground
to stand on did 1t refuse to pay tho
February lighting bill.
1t is not expected that either the
comptroller or the city clerk will pay
any more money to the company until
the present suit Is settled, but Mr..
Markham has rendered the opinion

year the records of the weather office
show Immediately preceding the break
ing of the ice In the river, the temper
ature has ranged from 40 to so above
zero for several days.
When we have a few days Of warm
weather in this vicinity 1t is safe to
predict the river will open.
That there will be a rise in the river
is certain, but present indications do
not point to q large freshet Much de-
ponds on the extent of the snowfall
during the month Of March, but usual
ly the fall during this month is not
very great. What creates the big
spring flood In the river is the snow
that lies all winter accommodating in
big drifts, which, when touched by the
warm breath of the south, make little
torrents that swell the streams.
The big floods in the Mississippi In
this vicinity have been in 1873, when
the water rose to Is feet in June; in
1881, when 1t rose to 1876 feet in May;
in 1893, when it rose to Is feet in June.
The flood of 1897 reached its height on
April 6, when the gauge registered 10
feet. After the river opened in that
year in March the water rose from 8
feet to 1876 feet in a period of ten days.
There was a veritable freshet that year
and the great amount of snow in the
north created the high water.
