for Little Old New York that is going
to put to shame all records Pittsburg
has made in the line, and it is all going
to come from an exhibition of the
merry Widow waltz, that new dance
that has fairly turned society upside
down and pulled The last basting thread
out of it the past winter. The awful
thing is almost due. A horrid news
paper reporter broke over the line the
other day and has figured out the very
way it's going to happen.
"And while we are on the subject of
The Merry Widow 1t may be just as
well to warn the public that some day
a terrible scandal is going to take place
at the third encore of the waltz" says
this scorpion of the press. Capitals
are now in order. Most Of us can sit
through The Waltz once with some de-
gree of propriety and if we grip the
arms of our seats, well-who knows
about it? But the third repetition is a
little too much for the strongest of us,
and some night when we have behaved
ourselves as long as we are able, one
wild bacchanalian whoop is going to be
heard and suddenly senators, judges,
respectable lawyers will jump to their
feet, grab any or all unknown females
firmly around the waist and waltz and
waltz, waltz waltz.
Exclusive danes will take up with
ushers, meek matrons will whirl with
drunimers, nobodies with somebodies,
persons who don't dance with those
who do, everybody with anybody.
They will all fly up and down the aisles,
onto the stage, out into the street, until
finally the orchestra is stopped by the
police and each dark corner filled with
painting, shame-faced dancers. Repu-
Etations will litter the floor; age, Gus
toms, principles, habits will have to be
swept up in heaps. New Workers will
go with bowed heads for years, and the
terrible part of it is that escape is inn
possible. Ropes will not help; staying
away is out of the question, we all
know that; the only thing to do is to
face our doom bravely, buy our tickets
soon and, of course, if possible, sit next
to some one who dances really well. -

Gladys and the Money.


Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, that package
of the American long green that the
degenerate from Hungary carried to his
lair, has woke up to the fact that only
distance lends enchantment to the life
that she had expected to live. A news
paper reporter tells of Gladie's disap-
pointment. The "castle" is only a
ramshackly old farm house, lighted with
kerosene lanterns and candles. The
house is sparsely furnished with old
time furniture. There is no phone, no
saddle horses, no automobiles, and the
young countess has no running water in
her room. Water must be carried from
the we'll to fill an old fashioned vat
bathtub..
The only lamentable fact from an
American point Of view in connection
with Gladie's venture into Hungarian
aristocracy is the amount of good
American cash that went with the
transfer. America needs all that
money right now. AS for the count
and countess themselves the world could
lose them and never detect the differ
ence. Their personal worth is nothing.
The count newer earned an honest dollar
and there is not member OF his family
that ever has. Then why shouldn' t
Gladys go to Europe to find her affinity.
She could not have found as lazy and
unprovident fellow in all America as
the one she has chosen. Better for
people of class to stay together. If
Gladys had directed her wiles toward
men of her own land chances are she
would have captured and ruined some
honest, Industrious American farmer
boy, or contaminated the morals of
Rastus, her fathers coachman. In
either case life that was intended for
usefulness to itself and society would
have been ruined.
1t would be good for America if we
could get rid of all Of Gladys class, but
there should be means devised to keep
the money.

SINGULAR Coincidence.

In connection with the death of DR..
Wilkinson, bishop of st. Andrews, a
singular coincidence is established,
says an English exchange. 1t is re-
markable fact that all the predeces-
sors of Dr. Stubs as bishops of Truro
have died suddenly. The first occu-
pant of the See, DR.. Benson, after
ward archbishop of Canterbury, was
taken ill while at service at Harvard
en- church, and died in few minutes;
DR.. Wilkinson was second bishop of
Truro, and he died during a meeting
at Edinburgh; and DR.. Colt, the third
bishop, died suddenly while giving di-
rections to his chaplain in his study al
Trenython.

QIL DRESS

This is the season of the party dress,
and we offer below suggestion in
our illustration of one which for orig
inality of design and for simple grace
it would be hard to beat. 1t Is made OF
white silk trimmed with silver sequins
and fine white lace and insertion. A
large bunch CT pale pink roses at the
waist and pale pink ribbon in the
hair give the touch Of color necessary
to complete the effect.
Chiffon is again in great favor for
evening frocks, all the prettiest OF
them being made in this material. A
charming effect in trimming is OBJ
tanned with bands of velvet, cut on the
cross.
There is nothing, perhaps more fas-
cinating in the feminine wardrobe
than teagowns and the still more in
formal negligees worn in deshabille.
Created from almost every conceiv-
able fabric, from rich brocades to
chiffon and lace, in every color and
known shade of color, trimmed with
everything possible from fur to tulle,
there is no end to the expression Of
Individual taste in these robes worn
in the privacy of ones own home, and
therefore allowing more scope for per-
sonal preferences.
In the recent trousseaus of the late
autumn and early winter brides there
have been some especially beautiful
examples of these indoor garments.
One in supple scarlet panne velvet
trimmed with ermine, and another in
emerald green edged with mink, and a
third in white lace and turquoise blue
satin with touch of black caracul,
are bit unique, but nevertheless de-
cidedly effective on chill days, when
