NEW YORK. June 15.-Beefsteak
CHARLES is a homespun culinary in
stitution running of the hip of
Broadway in the Fifties. There are
no mahogany tables, plush carpets.
or gold-tinted china. and only the
merest slit Of walking space be-
tween the tables. Yet Charlie knows
how to broil a steak, and SO the
public wears a path to his door.
The walls are lined with enlarged
photographs Of race track spills,
for Charles friendly little place Ia
the rendezvous of track followers.
The walters always have a live
one" for the next day at Belmont
or wherever the dogs are running"
Charlie himself is always moving
about among his customers. He
wears the white uniform of his
walters but. unlike them. is privi-
legged to sit at the tables of his
guests. He has seen much of the
seamy side of Broadway's life. and
he has the worldly look that goes
with 1t.
The women who follow the races
are a class distinct. There is some
thing amazingly inevitable about
them. They are not young or not
old. and with them the rouge and
lipstick are implements not to be
toyed with lightly. They have mas
tered the trick OF removing lurking
caves under the eyes with powder.
Life is not big wager. but a Sc
ries of small bets-and the tomor-
rows take care of themselves.
The men wear soft collars and
14At
have facial scars and peculiar pock-
ing OF little shotted spots that tell
| of hard living. Yet they have
certain veneer of polish and worldli-
ness and q cluster Of little wrinkles
about the eyes that italicizes their
eternal search for the big winner"
They talk of inconsequentials In
a bantering way. but back of It all
is an icy reserve. A fear that some
slip of the tongue will reveal a
hidden chapter. Lean and flush days
are their mileposts. What year
was 1t Josie, made the big killir
at Latonia?' asks an old young
| man in vivid stripes, and eyeballs
with threads of red. Josie. with a
Frances White couture and domino
dress, thinks hard. Then: How do
I know? I wasn't stringin' along
with you then"
Rare beefsteak Is their epicurean
delight. They want plain food with
no fol-de-rol. Both men and women
eat onions without apology. And
they use the toothpick unashamed.
Charlie does not, however. depend
altogether on his race-track friends.
The night was there I saw a sprin-
king of stage folk, three prominent
business men, two playwrights. and
one Of the best-known racing edi-
tors.
I have very few prejudices. but
I am determined that those Fifth

French Girls Wearing
AnkLe-Length Dresses

PARIS. June 1s.-The fact that
French dressmakers have decreed
long skirts became known at Chan
tilly race track yesterday when Rue
da la Paix establishments sent Man
neQLeins wearing dresses ankle
length. although a week previous
robes reached midway between the
knee and ankle.
American women present declared
the long skirts are a triumph for
the American style makers, who
have been striving since last year
TO supercede the extremely short
skirt on which the French creators
insisted.
Observers remarked that not a
single straw hat was worn by the
smart women. although in February,
when steeplechasing was reopened,
nearly everyone wore straw.

THURSDAY, JUNE 1e, 1871.


Good and evil stars contend this
day, according to astrology. While
Venus, Uranus and Jupiter are in
benefc aspect, early in the fore
noon. Neptune has malefic power
and Venus changes from friendly
TO hostile sway.
During this planetary government
men and women should be espe-
cially cautious in business as well
as in love affairs, for they will ind
that they are changeable and un-
certain in Judgment.
Venus is in an aspect that is read
as most encouraging for business
transaction in which women are in
terested. but men will not be lucky
in dealing with them, while this
configuration prevails.
Romance may be peculiarly al
Turing under this direction OF the
stars, but II is likely to be un-
lucky in the sense that true char
acter Is not easily discerned, while
Neptune frowns and the charming
girl may turn out to be the
shrewish wife.
Warning Is given by the seers
that common sense will not gain
control easily while this configura-
tion prevails and for that reason It
is wise to be exceedingly cautious.
II will be recalled that labor
troubles and loss of life have been
long prophesied for the summer
and astrologers now foretell much
trouble in which military force is
concerned.
Revelations regarding ineniciency
Of employees and unnecessarily large
forces in government Offices again
ara prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate IT. Is
have the sugury of a fortunate
year IN business. but there may be
anxieties In the domestic circle.
Children born on this day may
be careless and fond Of amusement,
but these subjects Of Gemini usually
are exceedingly successful all
through life
