LAUGHED AT NAME OF FILLv.
Turf Critics Humor Offended Texas
Sportsman.

A turf critic who learned to read
and write before he learned to race
once made a bitter enemy of highly
respectable Texas sportsman by hay-
ing fun with the name he gave his pet
two-year-old filly. The filly was the
foal of the pet of the ranch, Little
Pearl. and the sire was Gallantry. The
Texan called the offspring Little
Pearls of Gallantry. The first and
the only time Little Pearls of Gal
lantry started the young critic
took occasion to chide the gen.
tleman who hung that title on the
fiily. In the course of his playful tart
remarks he undertook to name the
future product of the ranch whence
came Little Pearls OF Gallantry.
Among the names he suggested were
Little Things to Think About. Little
Jars of Marmalade. Little Bales Of
Timothy. Lizzie Is My Hat on
Straight. Big Bill With the White Hat
and such. The Texan could not have
been more aggrieyed had he been ac-
cused Of cheating.
The combination OF the names OF
sire and dam often results in beautiful
If meaningless names. but even more
frequently in laughable or absurd
groups Of letters

The adorable Patti.

The famous Adelina Patti, always
young, despite her years, first appeared
in 1859, at the New York Academy OF
Music. She was brought forward under
the direction of her kinsman and mas
ter, Maurice Strakosch, in the title role
of "Luei di Lammermoor." She was
then only 16 years old, but had already
learned to manage her voice, flute-like
flexible soprano, with extraordinary
g14a ard taste, and capapIe critics at
once recognized in the Gebutante one
Of those rare singers who appear at
long intervals on the musical horizon
to revive not only the hopes of man
ayers, but the enthusiasm of the public.
This prediction had quick fulflment.
After a short initial engagement in
Philadelphia, Mile. Patti, piloted by
Strakosch, embarked on a concert tour
which ended at New Orleans, whence
she sailed for London where she may
be said to have fairly begun a career,
which, like her art, must remain long
unique in lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward of 40 years, she held first place,
and during the greater part of that
time, she was not only sweeter, but
better singer than any other woma a
in the world. Her name lends gold
en- ending to any record Of the early
days of opera In America :

Adulterafed Dresses.

Public attention is being directed
to the wholesale manner in which the
materials that keep us warm during
the day, and the blankets which cover
US at night, are adulterated.
The silk dress of the lady of hun
dred years ago rustled as she moved,
on account of the genuineness of the
fabric; now it rustles with SO per cent
of salts of tin used to commercialize it.
The lady of the period in her silk dress
is, indeed, a sort of woman in armor."
EPSON salts, instead of being used
or medicinal purposes, as formerly, are
now employed, it would appear, for
loading flannel. The so-called table
linen of today is not pure linen, such
as delighted the hearts of the house
wives of olden times but is made
largely of cotton, filed with china
clay and starch. So, too, collars are
often of cottonmerely faced with linen.
In a word, nearly every kind Of fabric
sold, is adulterated in some form or
other, and the public, in blissful ignor-
ance of the truth, finding how poorly
the things wear, lays the blame upon
the laundryman, the dyer or the
cleaner, instead of upon the real cul-
prit, the manufacturer.
1t is believed that there is some dan
ger of the skin being attacked by

It was during a Damrosch engage
ment in Chicago that happened to go
to the theatre one evening. / was
alone, as my wife had not been going
out since the death OF relative. The
audience was a music-loving one, and
during the third act as l strolled into
the foyer l found it quite deserted, a
most unusual occurrence.
Wagner grows noisy to an unculti-
waited ear after listening an hour or
SO, and the strains that came through
the heavy, closed doors were more
agreeable to mine l was about to re-
turn to my seat, however, when l no.
ticed a remarkably handsome woman
emerge from the curtained door that
led into the lower boxes.
She was unusually beautiful, of that
flashing combination of dark eyes and
golden hair that is so rare.
She was fashionably dressed, and
under her opera cloak | saw the glim-
mer of jewels. | expected her to sweep
out to her carriage, instead of which
she stopped in front of me and be-
gan to look anXiously toward the out
side door Then she stepped back
into the curtain, but almost immedi-
ately returned, and began to pace up
and down more anXiously than before.
She was evidently looking for some
one whose delay caused unusual alarm.
Once | thought she started toward
me as if she was going to speak. |
thought noticed this movement again
when | involuntarily approached her.
"Can | be of any service to you,
madam" / asked in a most defer
entail tone, which her bearing seemed
to demand.
She paused doubtfully half sec
ond, then graciously explained:
Her father had left her at the
theatre, expecting to return immedi-
ately; he had failed to do SO and she
was extremely alarmed on his ac-I
count, and was also embarrassed at
finding herself alone in a strange city
at midnight. In fact there was moth
ing else for me to do but to offer to-
rHee her home 1t was all arranged in
a few seconds, and under the charm
of a woman who was of no ordinary
type She gave the directions to the
driver | had ordered a carriage and
after about an hours drive we stopped
in a part of the city that was not al
together familiar to me, though i
could see by the street lamps that IT.
