The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-02-09

is a slight and small woman, and when
she wears all her Jewels there is su-
perabundance of sparkle. On nearly
every occasion. Mrs. Twombly wears
her tiara and necklace.
At afternoon teas one sees as brave
a display of wealth as at formal DIM
ners. Almost all the well dressed Woms-
en- wear a pearl or diamond dog collar
with their high necked reception gown.
At one time these large jewels IN the
afternoon would have been cons1dered
hopelessly bad taste. Now they are
quite permissible. At recent after
noon wedding one woman wore black
gown sprinkled with silver About her
neck she wore necklace composed
of huge diamonds. This necklace was
probably the limit" in afternoon jew
els.
The powers that do and don't have
nailed blue enameled signs with WHITE
letters at street cornerS-"S loW-MoV-
ing Vehicles Keep Near the Curb. One
of those monster trucks used for haul
ing street Orders, drawn at snaiPs
pace by three pairs of dapple grays,
halted at crossing, and the driver
laboriously read the order. Then sum-
moning the tall policeman, he said:
OFFICER, whit air yeZ thryin' to do wild

I'll leave it to the dictionary" you
dare? which," .'tOh, any one you

business" 1t is nearly always safe
yenture-leave it to the dictionary.
Now, as to curb. The first speaker
had spelled the word "kerb," and the
second had presumed to correct him.
The first was an Englishman, and in
England the universal usage is "kerb,
sustained by the dictionaries. In Amer
lea We have it curb The second
speaker was an American, and had
never heard of 'kerb.''
For long time Mrs. Walker Fearn,
Mrs. French's mother, was recognized
as type of Hgrande dame" Mrs.
Fearn is no longer devoted to Amer
lea, and is abroad great deal. She,
like Mrs. French, is most active III
society. Mrs. Fearn has snow-white
hair, fresh complexion and a youth
full figure. In recent years Mrs. Fearn
has passed her summers in Greece,
where she enjoys the favor Of the royal
family. Few Americans ever drift to
Athens, but Mrs. Farisnees d. mWm
Athens, but Mrs. Fearn is ever ready to
welcome desirable compatriots. When in
America she lives with the Trenches.
A visitor from the far West arrived
here yesterday, crossing the river in the
early hours of the morning. Fog OBJ
secured everything, even our saw
toothed skyline, and his disappoint-
ment was grievous. sBut those bells!"
he complained. There must be hun
dred funerals going on right now. I
didn't know they buried 'em so early
in New York. 1t amt yet o'clock"
Those are not funeral bells,'' ventured
a boatman. "They are fog signals on
the piers to guide ferryboats." Fog
bells! All! How mournfully oppressive
and Suggestive! Why not get some
thing with more cheerful sound?
They give me the shakes. Funeral
chimes they are, surely. They speak
plainly of danger, destruction, DEATH"
Just then a tug seraped the boats
side.
Jack Livermore, worth several mil
lions, is entitled to hang out his shin
gle and practice law, having been
properly admitted to the bar. There
are some rich young men who adopt
a profession for honor and glory, with
out grinding at it. H o. HaVemeyer
Jr., son of the late Theodore Have
meyer, has sugar to the extent of
at least 100000. Sugar is slang
for money. Thereby hangs a tale of a
lawsuit in the city court, Counselor
To l<, nj
and obtaining a judgment in his favor
for 500 and a few, cents. Did Have
meyer need the money? What was
the suit about? How much was Jack
Livermore's fee?
Now comes the antithesis, which
many faddists in New York have
adopted or are about to adopt. They are
going back to the custom Of eating
heavily early in the day-say between
and 10 o'clock in the morning-just
as the buXom DANES and girthy gentry
did in the days of Queen Elizabeth. In
stead of a bird bite of crisp toast and
a bowl of tea the indorsers of the new
cult are to load up their stomachs with
chops, steaks and toasted cheese, and
to be thoroughly English and up to
date, they will wash down the combi-
nation with copious draughts Of ale or
brown stout-the stout being the pre-
ferred beverage, because all the ladies'
n-waiting on the virgin queen selected
that form of malt to drink early in the
morning, and were able to consume in
ordinate quantities of it, There is
doubt as to the success of the plan, for
appetites cloyed with heavy midnight
dinners cannot be stimulated into ac-
tivity the next morning with such heavy
Inducements. Still, something new is
in constant demand, and it might as
well be a blacksmith's breakfast as
anything else. Specialists in govt and
dyspepsia welcome the innovation with
chortles of glee.
