ArilRMKKTATION o.N I^KRs^4. Thereis B1 e tbintf which can be said for^Helena society which cannot be naid for^^ociety in a great m lhV larger cities. The^women know how to dreas, and dress well.^There is a wide distinction between MffBM^tng fuhlonabty and dreeing in go^Hl taste,^and there are plenty ot women who have^g'it money arid wear the very best ta lor^made suits which can be turned out, and^yet never look well because they are over^dressed. In Helena, however, good (ante^prevail*, and what Is more, the young^ladiea who wear decollete costumes aie^^allslied to wear shoulder straps instead of^having their dresses bitched on very much^in the way that a school boy hangs his hat^on a peg when he is In a hurry, in fact, in^New York, at the Metropolitan opera bouse,^wh.-n tin- bullet was in full blast, an ob^Serving man about town was once heard to^remark: ^All that one can't see on the^stage is on view In the boxes;^ and It really^lookH an if the recent objection on the part^of the stockholders to have the lights low^^ered during the performance might lie a^natural objection to the seclusion of uature,^even though it meant the furtherance of^art. Thestockholders of the Metropolitan^opera heuse are necessarily rich men, and^their wiveH and daughters possess dia^^monds, even if nature has not bounteously^^^ndowe.i them with natural charms.^Hence they do not want to hide them^aelves. They come to the opera to sec. and^be seen, to chat and pay calls, and, of^course, occasionally to listen to the music;^but then they pay all the bills, and the real^lovers of mumc have coaaod to regard them^in any other light than as a vulgar neces^^sity. An Ben .lonson says: ^i,v^ma a look, g1v^* m * a far.a,^That mtkm Minipllrltv a grace,^Hohee luvaly tl^^iii{ hair a* tree. Whatwould he say now, and where would^he hud simplicity in this age of powder,^puff and frippery, when the school girl is a^society girl at 17, and the mnrried woman^a divorce at HIT 1 am no prude, but 1 do^love to see a girl who has not forgotten^how ut blush at IK, and who will not smile^At the far too common double entendre or^risque remark. ATTHK OMOM^The audiences which assembled to listen^toOvlde Musln and his LalMited company^on Friday night and .Saturday matinee^were thoroughly representative of the^taste and culture of Helena society, and^the warm appreciation bestowed on these^artists will '^^ a pleasant souvenir for them^to carry away from the Kocky mountains.^When Mr. Musin last visited Helena the^audiences which greeted him were In no^wise commensurate with thin great artist's^ability, but those who went were so justly^enlhustanttc that the return visit was an^assured success, and we venture to bespeak^an oversowing house whenever Mr. Muvu^shall come again. Mrs. Tanner and Wutt-^ney Mockridge are t^oth artists of recog^^nized ability, and Kdwin M Mionert, while^laboring under great disadvantage In his^solos owing to the poor quality of instru^^ment he played on. made amends by hii^accompaniments, which were faultless.^The striking likeness between Mr. Mock^ridge and Hervey Harbour, of this city,^caused quit** a little stir in the audience^when the former gentleman first appeared^upon the stage. NKWYORK'S TII1KTY TWO. NewYork society Is very much eierctsed^as to who Is and who is not eligible to dance^tn the opening quadrille at the centennial^ball to be given on the 2Vth of this month^at the Metropolitan opera house. It Is the^Intention of the committee having the man^age in en t of the ball in charge, the secre^^tary of which is no other than the redoubt^^able leader of the 400, i. e., Ward McAllis^^ter, that the opening quadrille shall consist^of siiteen couples, including President and^Mrs. HarriHon, Mr. and Mrs. Morton, Gov^Hill and Mrs. It. It. Hayes, Hugh Grant^and Mrs. Cleveland, the rest to be selected^from those most directly descended from^the owner of the little hatchet The list^from which these historically famous peo^^ple are to be selected com^prises the following names: Mrs. Augustus^Van r.irtlandt Mrs. Van Cortlandt, of^Crnton, Mrs. John Lyon Gardiner, Mrs.^William Astor, Mrs. Philip Schuyler, Mrs^Alexander Hamillou, Mrs John Jay, Mrs^Klhridge T. (terry, Mrs. Nicholas Fish^Mrs William t\ Schermerhorn, Mrs. New^bold Morris, Mrs. James It. Tolef. Mrs^Kobert Clarkson, Mrs. Itolwrt K. Livings^ton, Mrs. II. W. Livingston and Mrs. l^r^Heverly Kohinsnn, and all fashionable New^York is at present engaged in searching^musty records of long fofgOttetJ tore with a^hope that their historical and genealogical^/ researches will equip them with hereditary^proof of their tituess tor being taken Into^the charm- d circle of the thirty two. It Is^filial devotion Indeed to go back nearly^^ne hundred years to discover that you^have a personal claim on the father of you^country, but it Is paying him rather^dubious compliment to make all this fuss^simply because your wife or daughter^wants to dance tn a quadrille, and one can^well imagine fromyon blue heeren above aa bent^Tha timid old geid* ner nod Ida wile^ainlle at the claim a uf long deetent. However,the ball will unquestionably^be the greatest social event which has^taken place In New York for many years^Mrs. Astor hasstampedit with the approval^of her presence, and Mr McAllister is not^only a manager, but Is also the secretary of^the committee, so that any dubious appli^cations for tickets will have to pass^through a fiery ordeal. THELATEST rAI^s. Oneof the latest fads In New York Is the^liberal use of violet powder and violets. Theformer Is being put up In sachet form^and distributed throughout the ladies* lotMhg,and the latter are worn for but^ton hole and corsage bouquets. Mrs. James^lirown potter is said tn Ik- responsible for^this craze, and one dreamy-e)ed repor^ter of the press describes a momentary nterviewwith her ^as reminiscent of a^breath of fresh country air heavily laten^ith the perfume of ylolets,^ Everything^about the int. rvlew was. however, fresh^^I. e., refreshing Another novelty, and we^trust a rare one^Is a bell attachment to^that useful and sometimes ornamental gir^^dle ^nce historically labelled with the mot^^to: ^lloni soit qui mal y pense.^ We can^understand a woman hanging a bell ahout^her neck, her waist or even her pet dog, but urh an attachment as this seems super-^ious unless, Indeed, It is a new method of^uging the changes in her In ne.
