* THE LADY KA*nBLEK.
How a' Great and Good Klan Per
ished In Infancy--
Crape versus English.
. A modern writer, presumably masculine,
informs us tliat the only woman who never
asked her husband for money is in an in
sane asylum; but he forgets to add that the
only man who would have ever given his
wife a penny before she asked for It, and
without wanting to know what she meant
to do with it. and if she had spent all of
that last quarter he gave her, is not alive,
having been so much too good for this shrful
earth that he perished in infancy.
***
French crape is not only much prettier
for mourning veils, but is also pronounced
more fashionable than the English, by those
who know.
v?;:
Every woman has a weakness for pretty
and expensive hosiery, the attention given
to this branch of the wardrobe by actresses
not being at all exceptional, but simply in
proportion to their opportunities for pos
session and display. At present the style
of the hosiery is in direct ratio to its unob
trusiveness. Expend as much money as
you like and you will only have to show for
it the quality of the material. Rich em
broideries and gay stripes are alike num
bered with the things of the past. Black,
dark brown, navy blue, and dull shades
verging towards gold are the favorite tints,
the only variations from solid tints allowa
ble being the pin stripes.
*
The unbleached Balbriggans clocked with
white are much worn in the East and bid
fair to become more popular. By the way,
much as is said of the many cases of blood
poisoning attributable to the. wearing of
colored hosiery, few people seem to have
any real knowledge of the matter, and
fewer dealers receive any complaints.
*_*
Young men and maidens who aim at the
ultra fashionable in mind, manners and
morals, now adorn the outside of their cor
respondence with little dabs of colored wax:
at least 1 suppose artistic decoration is the
idea, the modern envelope being always
gummed.

. Every cloth dress, whether made in
basque, polonaise or round waist, is finished
at the throat with an extremely high stand
ing collar, making the high linen collar al
most a necessity.

It is usually asserted that the genuineness
of a lady may be determined by the charac
ter of her gloves, but it should not be for
gotten that the shoe is as important a part
of the costume as the glove, and that a
worn? ugly' or ill-fitting boot visible beneath
a gown of silk or velvet is, to say the least,
decidedly bad form.
» *
Elegant short wraps have front and back
pieces of plain velvet with sides of brocade:
velvet and beaded grenadine are combined
in like manner, but, though extremely fash
ionable, these garments are too strongly
Suggestive of patch work to be very beauti
ful. '
If you do not comprehend the full sig
nificance of tlie expression "-tobe sat upon."
and regard it as a bit of meaningless slang,
just wait patiently; all tilings come, you
know, to the individual who waits; some
day. it may not be tar distant, you will be
seated in the street car. serene and smiling,
pouring into the attentive ear of your neigh
bor the dire secrets you learned at the last
meeting of the sewing society, when sud
denly and without warning that dreadful
ear will round a sharp curve with a horrible
lurch, and there will he deposited in your
lap, in the shape of a fairy-like specimen of
mankind pounds avoirdupois — and
never afterward will you hear that once
despised expression lightly uttered without
an inward shudder, and a complete reali
zation of its deepest, fullest meaning.

Much has been said of Fanny Daven
port's gowns, and her magnificent wraps
and superb jewels have been oftener de
scribed than the woman herself. The toil
ets displayed by her as Fedora are certainly
worthy of description; from the evening
robe, the front of .which is white satin
heavily embroidered in seed pearls, with
corsage and court train of uncut velvet, to
the simple wrapper of white cloth bordered
with otter and looped over a petticoat of
dark brown velvet, every costume is a study.
And yet, never did dress appear so subor
dinate and secondary a matter. . You look
at the. majority of handsomely-appareled
women, off the stage as well as on. and
they seem merely lay figures for the display
of expensive fabrics and precious stones:
'you look at ; Fanny Davenport as at a pic
ture which can be regarded only as a per
fect and harmonious whole.

For any of my clear friends who read the
fashion letters and are not French scholars.
I volunteer the information that the word
"moyenage." so much used in describing
colors and designs, when translated into the
"good old ; Saxon," becomes middle age.
The exact shade of middle age blue I leave
them to discover for themselves.

r AN INBVEiXTFI'L WEEK.
Tlie Ligbt of Social Enjoyment
Flick*/ Tins' Out From a Scarcity
ol' Combustible Material?
The social horizon presented only an un
broken circle of dullness to the telescopic
vision of Jenkins during the past week.
Tin- dullest days of the Lenten season were
not more completely devoid of events of
Social interest. While the effect is the same
now as then, the causes are widely differ
ent. Then society people withheld them-
. selves from worldly enjoyment out of re
spect to the* mandates of the church and
from a desire to give their consciences a
chance to recuperate. .Vow the voice of
religion is silent, but the spirit of mirth has
succumbed. to the combined assaults of poli
tics, spring house-cleaning, the weather
and the May festival, It is difficult to de
termine which of these factors produced
the greatest effect, but together they seem
to have brought the social season in St.
Paul to an untimely end.

his loss. .: ,•
That we lay upon his coffin this wreath of
our remembrance of him. He was a good
citizen, a kindly father, a noble husband, an
honorable gentleman. As a business man his
integrity is unquestioned, his energy and
ability great. His death is a loss to the en
tire community. ,
. To his family we say: God comfort you.
The Hon. E. W. Durant, in seconding
the resolution, said: "Mr. President, this
is no vain or empty ceremonial in which
we are now engaged. • Honors to the dead
go beyond the debt of justice, honor or re
spect to them or the rendition of consola
tion to their friends. They are examples
and lessons to the living. . The story of
our friend's early life, his humble begin
ning, is an example to be followed by our
sons. His early and later life has been
so J closely identified with us as a
community, that the name of James S.
Anderson is a part of the history of our
city. His various business enterprises, his
public spirit, his well-known liberality were
always apparent. And to-day, Mr. Presi
dent, we realize that the dark pall of death
hovers over its. , It has taken from our
midst our business associate, our neighbor,
our friend, leaving a vacant space that we
all feel to-day will -. scarcely be filled. To
us his loss is indeed a loss, and while we
mourn as friends we instinctively turn our
eyes toward the house on yonder hill, where
affectionate hearts refuse all earthly comfort
and where kind hands have done all that
love and affection could prompt. A devoted
wife, a loving mother, surrounded by her
son and daughter, can only say, "God's will
be done." Mr. President, we can only ex
tend to them our heartfelt sympathy in their
life's darkest hour." ?■'?- -V
The resolution was carried unanimously,
and ordered to.be engrossed and trans
mitted to the family. ?,
MERCIIAXTS' hoard OF trade.
A meeting of the Merchants' board J of
trade was held yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock, at the city hall, to take appropriate
action : relative- to the death of Mr. James
S. Anderson, one of its members. There
was a fuil attendance, and the following
resolutions were passed unanimously.
: Whereas, The Almighty Kuler has. re
moved from our midst by sudden death an
honored member of the board, therefore
! Resolved, That in the untimely death of
James S. Anderson we have lost an enterpris
ing citizen, a wise counselor and a generous
friend. ' :
Resolved, That we as a body extend to the
bereaved family in their hour of terrible af
fliction our deep and heartfelt sympathy.
J Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be spread on the minutes of the board and a
copy engrossed and sent to the family.
City Council.
"At the special meeting of the city coun
cil on Friday evening," a resolution : was
offered by Aid. Burke, instructing the . city
attorney to take such steps as were neces
sary to reclaim from the Transfer company
the sum of $150,000, -, granted in bonds to
them, or such share of the same . as J might
be obtainable, in that the bonds ; were ; ille
gal in being given to the car company. Aid.
Burke said that ' the company had agreed to
perform.certain • conditions for these bonds,
but they had not? been ". performed. 7 Aid.
Draver said there was no use of throwing
good money after what they .would never
be able to : get. Aid. Kilty was perfectly
satisfied to let them have the bonds if ? they
■would only perform what they had ! con
tracted to do. ; ! Aid. Burns considered it un
wise to do anything about it? and that/the
city would be injured more by taking action
than by letting the matter i alone, and % liti
gation would involve the city in heavy ' ex
penses. ?"Ald. Covell contended that , .they
had performee their contract nearly in full.
They had made the levee and .-'given^the
city titles to it. They had built the 104
new houses, which was four . more than
agreed upon.' .They had erected; shops and
employed In 1881,1882 and J lBB3 /upwards
of one thousand men,' and in 1884 some five
hundred, while they, engaged to - employ
only 300 citizens, and even now?: : with the
hard times, they employed j 250 "i citizens?
Aid. Kerr considered that they had j pretty
closely filled the contract.;? The bonds were
given to Seymour, Sabin & Co., and; the
council is seeking to get them from the car
company. Aid. Bronson could not support
the resolution. A motion by Aid. Covell
to indefinitely postpone was carried by 5 to
2. And thus endeth the bond business for
the present. 7 - '.7•■'• '7

The St. Croix Boom company has so far
passed through the boom 41,000,000 feet of
logs, but has lost a couple of days through
wet weather during the past week. The
number of men will be decreased, as new
logs are coming down but slowly and are
only the smaller logs, the water above being
too low for the larger ones to pass down.
The Steamer Evansville, of the Matt
Clark Transportation company, left Beef
Slough yesterday morning for Prairie Dv
Chien with a raft of logs. George B. Hall,
who returned from Beef Slough yesterday,
reported that a number of steamers were
laid up with their rafts owing to the gale of
the past few days. He reports the Nina as
having her raft broken and another steamer
that had Stillwater logs also with a raft
broken. He could not ascertain what steamer
it was. 1 '". ;,-. . ■ y ' -. 7.7-;
Judge Crosby confirmed the order asking
him to allow the sale of the Walker, Judd
& Veazie property in bulk to a syndicate
composed of Messrs. Keator, Culbertson,
Kelly and others. , Mr. W. H. Veazie, who
was one of the old firm, opposed the sale,
and had Mr. C. P. Gregory as his attorney.
Assignee Jenks and the syndicate had as
their attorneys Warner of St. Paul and
Marsh and Sabin of Stillwater. This order
will allow work to be commenced at once,
of which the citizens at Marine will be
much pleased. The syndicate have ample
means. . ■ • .v7''V ': V :.-.'
A representative of the Gt.obe yesterday
met a prominent log man, who spoke favor
ably of the outlook for the sale of logs. He
estimated the cut of last year with what
was over from the preceding year at 260,
-000,000 feet. Should the mill cut be the
same here as last year, 150,000,000 feet will
be required. Of the remaining 110,000,000
feet about " 40, 000, have been sold this
season already, having only 70,000,000 feet
of logs to sell. This is a comparatively
small amount and the stiffening of prices
the past week has put the log men in much
better spirits than formerly.
A meeting of those interested in the
formation of a lacrosse club in this city was
held at the Sawyer house on Friday even
ing. Those present were M. Liebe, C.
Thoman, J. H. Coombs, W. 11. Newbury,
George Cushing, A. Richards, R. Welch,*
W. Willim, Dr. -Charles Merry, W. B.
Grosvenor, J. H. Hooper and A. Keevil.
As the meeting was only a preliminary one,
no action was taken to form a complete or
ganization, which will be done at another
meeting after the names of others who wish
to become members are obtained. As it
takes twenty-four to form a double team so
as to be able to play against each other for
practice, it is hoped that the names will be
received at once. ■ >•"•
The new United States government tug.
boat Alert made her first trip . yesterday
afternoon, coming from South Stillwater to
the Duluth railway dock. She made a fast
run with comparatively little steam. Her
hull is of a very fine model, and was built
by Mr. Asa Batehelder, under the superin
tendence of Capt. George Hayes, of the
very best material. She is got up com
plete in every part. She goes down the
Mississippi, .where she will be engaged in
government work. It is not yet decided
who ill be captain, as Capt. Hayes has
only' a short time to be in command, as he
leaves soon to fill his appointment of steam
boat and boiler inspector for the district.
SOCIETY IN STILLWATER.
A Very Dull Week by the St. Croix.
The week was a dull one and not an
event of any importance came off: even the
usual visiting was interferred with by the
disagreeable weather. The Mjehrierclior
society had a very pleasant social dance at
Music hall on Thursday evening which was
largely attended. This society is making
great preparations to attend the Ssengerfest
in St. Paul, where they will give a good
account of themselves. The concert given
last evening at the . Swedish-Lutheran
church by the Mme. Ahlander-Bergstrom
Concert company was largely attended? and
thej- received a J warm welcome. There
a couple of card parties, but the week
throughout was one of the dullest socially
of any this season.
