Embarrassing Meeting Between a
Landlord and the Nursemaid of
His Household.
New York, March 31.— funniest
thing I have seen lately was right alongside
the sightliest. The former was a swell
athlete. He belonged to the Rockaway
Hunt, and he had been that afternoon on
the back of a horse that had done muscular
wonders in leaping fences and straddling
ditches. But the fellow was a puny little
object, with his attenuation displayed in
knee-trousers and a red hunting coat ac
cording to the prescribed uniform of the
club. The second thing was a robust, vig
orous young girl, with flesh and blood
enough in one of her plump arms to out
balance the whole of her partner for she
was dancing with him, at the hunt ball, a
minuet, lt was. very humorous indeed to
hear him talk to her about the athletic
achievements to which he was so proudly
addicted.
Til FY DO TELL
of a much less robust belle who, the other
night, challenged a waiter to combat. It
was in one of the swell restaurants. A
couple had been to the opera, and were
now supping at midnight in a private room.
It was all very circumspect and proper any
how, because they chanced to be husband
and wife; but the waiter, in accordance
with the general rule of the place, took oc
casion to enter the room every five minutes,
even after he had been told that nothing
more was wanted of him. You may re
member that so eminent a purist as Offen
bach, the composer, had a row at Delmon
ico's over just the same sort of thing.
"What do you want?" the woman in this
Instance sharply asked.
"lt is according to order, madam," the
servitor replied.
"And if you intrude again," said tlie fair
member of the Badminton club, will
throw you out."
You will perceive that our fashionable
women are becoming pugilistic as well as
athletic.
SPEAKING OF REFRESHMENTS OUT,
I hear of a husband and father who sought
amusement in a public beer garden, He
sat sipping his beverage steadily enough,
until a pretty girl came within close range,
ami then, forgetting his dignity, he invited
her to drink with him. She consented.
.Roguery in her eyes flashed into the foam
ing cup as she lifted it, and said:
"Well, here's to the health of Bessie and
Charley!"
Those were the names of his children.
He gave one hard look at the girl, and rec
ognized in her the nurse-maid of his house
hold. The beer didn't choke him quite to
death, but altnest. And he doesn't dare to
say boo at home about the manner in which
bis wife's favorite servant spends her even
ings out. How could he?
COTTON DRESS FABRICS
will.be very popular the coming summer.
Ginghams and sateens in new designs are
shown In a profusion of styles in the win
dows of all the leading dry goods houses.
As cotton dresses are usually simply made,
and change less in fashion from year to
year than silk and woolens, washing fab
rics are always introduced before anything
else for spring wear. Women have them
made up at home during the quiet weeks of
Lent, in readiness for hot weather. More
costly fabrics are made up later, when the
season's fashions are definitely settled.
Plaids, checks and stripes of various widths
are shown again in stylish gingham, and
are intended to be combined with plain fab
rics embodying their prevailing colors.
Cable-cord or rope ginghams are among the
few positively new goods. Grounds of brown
or navy-blue ate enlivened 'by round
cords in red and tan, or brown and green,
arranged in a single stripe, or clustered in
twos and threes. Heliotrope and bright
primrose yellow are prominent colors in new
ginghams. The former shade is striped
with white, pink and pale yellow, while the
latter is combined with almost every color,
bo that it can be worn by dark and fair
alike. The new cotton sateens more closely
resemble silks than those of any previous
season. The hair stripes, polka dots and
rings of last year are not revived in the best
sateens, but exceedingly small specks, all
over Persian patterns, quaint Eastern fig
ures and antique hieroglyphics have super
seded them. Velvet collar, cuffs and bows,
to be removed when the dress is washed,
will also be worn again. A good way to
make cotton dresses is to have a gored
lower skirt covered half way down with a
deep flounce widely hemmed at the bottom.
IT SHOULD BE SCANTILY GATHERED
in front, but quite fu*l behind. Over this,
is worn a long overs'* irt caught up on both
hips, and quite bouffant at the back. The
waist may be plaited and belted, or simply
a short basque without lining, with revets
which open over a full chemisette, either
white or some harmonious color. Tne
French satines emulate the foulard and In
dia silks in appearance, in* the colors and
patterns as well as in luster, and in many
instances can hardly be distinguished from
the more expensive fabrics. Many cotton
dress goods have already made their ap
pearance on the retail counters, as they do
each year in advance of the woolens that
ladies do.not wish made up before Easter,
while the early spring days offer many
hours in which to make up clean-looking
cambric. zephyrs and sateens and
have them well out of the way
before the busy rush comes on later in the
season. Beautiful French ginghams, al
most as fine as silk, are shown in ail of the
above colors; and, in addition to the
familiar checks and plaids, there are various
novel effects that are very charming.
Anion? all the ways of celebrating the
Lenten season the most fitting was that
adopted by a woman we will call Mrs.
Dare. It was not precisely original, for to
a certain extent her ceremony was the re
vival of an ancient custom. All day long
she entertained her friends with feasting
and merriment. As the evening went by
the time was enlivened by dancing. At
half-past eleven, when the enjoyment was
it its height, the guests were solemnly
summoned to a large chamber that had been
cleared for the purpose, In the middle of
the floor was a tripod on which was a small
quantity of combustible material, and on
this
A FANTASTIC IMAGE. :
When the guests had all assembled and
surrounded the tripod the hostess stepped
forward and made a little address, all in
the most sepulchral way, and announced
the death of Folly. She pointed to the
image on the tripod as the corpse of the de
ceased, and declared that the time had now
come to say a last farewell to, Folly until
such as he should revive or send a succes
sor. In her opinion it was fitting that the
last rites should be appropriate to the char
acter of the deceased, and so forth. The
•event was that all in the company joined
hands and danced solemnly about the tri
pod, while the Mrs. Dare lit the - combust
ibles. As the flames enveloped the 7 image
of Folly the dance became hilarious and
wild. The corpse burned right merrily,
and when midnight sounded it was all but
entirely consumed. At the first stroke of
the bell the lights were suddenly extin
guished, the dancing ceased and the guests
found their way in the dark to the reception
room, where their wraps and coats were
brought to them. , Then they went to their
respective homes to await the advent of a
new folloy at the end of Leut.
TO RETURN TO FABRICS.
Watered silks, lined with "clustered
strides of satin, the ground color and stripes
In charming new shades of delicious con
trasting hue. attract the greatest number of
admirers. They are indeed wondrous fab
rics, as rich in color and watering as in the
weave and finish. Three clusters of stripes,
two clusters, and sometimes but one covet
the entire breadth. Some of these -again
are further enriched with Pompadour
stripes, in exquisite garlands and bouquets
of flowers, running; between stripes "■ of
moire. Then there are velvet in frlse,
striped and barred uoveltles In bewildering :
varieties of form and colors that would
drive an artist wild with delight. To meet
the tastes of all, there are other broche silks,
with satin grounds, but with a rich, dull,"*
non-lustrous surface which has given the
fabric the name of fleur de sole broche,' and j
which is us eagerly sought for in black as in
colors by fastidious women who object to
the glossy sheen of satin duchesse. Into 5

PALACES OF RECOXSTUCTION 7-7'^
my old maiden aunt and I drifted. The
attendants looked me over. 1 certainly was
not seeking rogue. The March wind that
blew nic In had done all that for me. The
eye that "flashed like a falchion from its
sheath" needed no fare lndlen. There were
neither freckles, nor moles, nor superfluous
hairs to need freckle lotions, mole remedies
or depilatory powder; but she espied some
thoughtful lines on my aunt's intellectual
brow, and hastily brought . forward some
thing that looked like a cross between a
hallle-iron and a stomach pump.
"This is the wrlnckle remover and skin
rejuvenator," said she, "for creating, pre
serving, retiming aud insuring a smooth,
fresh complexion, it effectually removes
wrinkles."
I smiled and made a lot more.
"It will rejuvenate the oldest face."
I instinctively thought of Evarts, and
wished heaven would grant me the use of
his countenance for experiments. She un
coiled a rubber pipe, displayed a nickel
plated cup. and began to tell how the air
compressed artificially expanded the muscles
of the face. By rapidly manipulating the
bulb the suction in the cup produced a
vacuum within, and then an application of
the rejuvenator balm to the distended skin
got in and ironed out the box-plaits and
wrinkles and made infants of old women.
"Only $10 for the fount •of perpetual
youth," she said, as she waved the stomach
pump.
1 presume she thought the price was not
in my aunt's inside pocket, for she tacked
for the showcase and brought out some
complicated harness called
THE LOUIS XIV. SCOWL PREVENTER.
Said she: "This, in connection with the
Court Balm, will eradicate wrinkles. You
could not scowl if you wanted to. Only 53."
I had to insist that there were occasions
when, if 1 could not scowl, I should be in
great trouble; and then 1 fell to watching
another attendant's tactics with a slab
sided maiden of 35, who leaned her hollow
chest on the counter and heard all about de
velopments made with Mamarial Balm;
"used." the young and ready liar averred,
"by all the families in Europe so celebrated
for female busts and masculine calves."
The collapsed Miss Tabitha took to the
idea kindly. WfJfJrW
"How is it applied." she murmured.
"With the hand always observing the
directions."
So we read the directions; "This infalli
ble balm acts directly on the muscles. In
applying to the calf be careful to use a lat
eral movement, in developing the bust use
a rotary motion."
"Whose hands should you use?" I asked
innocently.
"Your own, of course," snapped the
clerkess.
"Poor hands," moaned I, "if this stuff
acts directly on the muscles, and there are
more muscles to the square inch in the hu
man hand than any other portion of the
body, I suppose the hands get the size of
boxing gloves in a week or two."
"I don't think you wish any balm,
mann," said she severely.
"I'm pretty sure I don't" said I, and; I
slid gracefully out, as I saw evident prepar
ations to do something desperate being
made behind the counter.

Bill Arp iv Yazoo.
Atlanta Constitution.
Talk about your towns, I found a little
city hid away out on the Yazoo river that
surprised me very much. It is right hard
to rind and you come upon it very unex
pectedly when you do find it, for although
it is not an island exactly, it might as well
be, for it has no neighbors and is a kind of
imneriuin in imperio. Yazoo City is cer
tainly the most independent little city I
know of. They found enough dry land
over there to build a town on, and plenty
of high bluffs to retreat to in case of a gen-- •
eral flood. The town rises gently and
gracefully to these highlands. The busi
ness blocks are compact, and the stores are
all in good architectural taste and well
kept. The streets are all graveled and
never get muddy. The churches are near
together, and the houses of the people look
attractive and inviting. "Come in come
right in" they seemed to say, and I would
not have hesitated to have visited any house
and introduced myself, for 1 know that a
well-behaved stranger would find a welcome.
The people all seem to be one family, and
they stop at the gate and talk as they pass
each other's homes. Even the great Illinois
Central railroad seems to be proud of the
town, and bar. built the finest freight and
passenger depots that there are in the state. '■
Half a dozen steamboats ply the river regu
larly, and as many more trading boats come
out and go at intervals. Forty thousand
bales ot cotton are marketed and compressed
here. The negroes largely outnumber the
whites in this region, but perfect harmony
prevails between the races. These negroes
are out of politics, and are content to be
out. Woe unto the white man who should
tamper with them, for the "Yazoo plan" Is
as fixed a policy with these people as the
laws of . the Medes and Persians. The
negroes have the finest church edifice in the
city, and they have more schools than the
whites, and receive the larger share of the
school fund. These people look upon the
negroes as their wards, and the man who
imposes upon them is put under the ban.
They sing a little song that begins: ■
"There's plenty of freedom, and plenty of
work
For black and yaller and tan.
But the whites must rule in Yazoo land,
For this is the Yazoo plan."
The President'-* Smoking Outfit.
Boston Traveller.
Presideut Cleveland is almost as much of
a "night-owl" as was the late President.
Arthur. Mr. Cleveland, is an
early riser, while Mr. Arthur never had his
breakfast before 11 o'clock, and sometimes
it was long after noon before he was ready
for the transaction of public business.- Mr.
Cleveland is fond of consulting with the
members of his cabinet and a few
personal friends until the early, hours
of the morning. One of his friends
wished an audience the other day,
and was somewhat astonished to receive as
a reply that "the president will receive him
any time after 11 p. m.." and this is by no
means an (infrequent occurrence at " the
White house. During the day the presi
dent always wears a broadcloth Prince Al
bert coat, with dark trousers and a vest
which shows a very liberal display of shirt
front. His cravat is of black silk, about an
inch in width, and he ties it in an old-fash
ioned bow-knot. • It is during these evening
chats and conferences- that the presi
dent is seen at his ease. He is very fond of
an old suit which he calls his "working
clothes." And such an outfit! In the first
place comes an extremely short sack coat
that barely reaches to his hips. Then comes
the trousers, the bottoms of which look
longingly at 'his ankles, some distance
away; a pair of shoes which • must be an
heirloom In . the Cleveland family, and a
smoking-cap with a tassel completes the
description. It is just such a make-up as
one often sees on the comedian in some old
farce, but the president likes it and clings
to it like an old friend.
Great TV «• ws for tlicßaldheads.
Louisville Commercial.
About three miles from Princeton, Ky.,
on the Wilson Warehouse road, in a ' bend'
of the Stevens creek, is a low, marshy flat
about an acre in size. The earth is of a
greenish color, and no weed or grass of any
kind was ever known to grow in it, and
during the dryest season is always wet.
Old Uncle Peter Black, a native of the Don
aldson district, came to town last August
(election day) and, according to his habit
with jovial friends, too much. Late
that evening he saddled his old gray mule
and attempted to wend his way home.
When the rider and the old mule came to.

mule or by some mystic hand", the old
animal went into the marsh ' and

proved a soothing balm to the bald, aching

the day Was soon forgotten in a dreamless
sleep, trom which he 'i was awakened next
morning by the heat of the sun, to find half
of his head and left side covered with mud.
About' two weeks after the accident Uncle
Pete fburitt that all that part of his body
that had been covered with mud was cov
ered with a line growth of young hair.
v St. Valentine's day he came to town aud
showed to a number of our most prominent
men a luxuriant growth of hair three and
one-half inches In length, coveting his side
and half .of his head. , At first his story was
laughed at,* since a bald head is a source of
great annoyance to. the owner, a few that
were 'sensitive on the loss of hair began to
view it in a different; light. For the past
two weeks about twenty are wearing. skull
caps inlaid with this muck. Yesterday
several' took off their caps, and to their
great joy anil happiness their heads were
covered with a fine growth of young hair,
but unfortunately It was red as a beet.
The owner of the marsh has had it en
closed by a high plank fence, and sells the
muck at 92 a pound, and the demand Is be
coming so great that he can scarcely fill all
the orders.
How an Earthquake Sounds.

,; A" ; frightful grinding noise, harsh, grat
ing, terrible, like the passing of some giant
removals van, carrying . Cleopatra's needle
or Memnon's head; a sound as the passing
of. the biggest Miction engine that ever was
made; multiplied by forty; a sensation of
being shaken violently in one's bed, in a
house that shook and rattled and' vibrated
with an ever-increasing violence, which
seemed to presage the- immediate fall and
ruin of the building-"- that Is. what the
peaceful dwellers of Cannes experienced
between sleeping and waking on the morn

time, by all the clocks along all the length
of the Riviera. By the time these ten
seconds were over and the earth was at

very much awake, and some there were
who awoke to find that ten seconds of earth
