The 1893 "Three-Decker," Which Is One of the Nov elties of the Year. The Cool Linen Gown Which Is Taking the Lead at the Resorts. Ipecial Letter to the Globe. New Youk, June 24.— Summer Is at last really here, and the furs and tailors, rubbers and woolen undetcloth ng are nil packed away, and every woman is giving most of her energy and inventive power to the thinking out and planning of summer gowns. Redfern's Is full of pretty women, to whom, ap parently, money is no object, all order ing, chattering and beine fitted in that perennial excitement that comes to all laughters of Eve, whether they be )ld or young. 'You can carry out your own ideas better in regard to a bummer gown than pou can In regard to a winter one," sa'U >ne elegante. "There is so much more icope for originality." As she said i'nis she submitted to having a "three lecker" costume arranged on her by an ittenuant, who deftly set all the ribbons Buttering, smoothed out the creases, md gave the whole creation a taut look. Do you know what a "three-decker" Is? Well, to begin with, it is a yachting fostuine. And. more than that, it is Ihe yachting costume — the yachting sostume of IS'J3. I will explain it. To begin with, everything is made in threes. First and "foremost, a white silk blouse is worn. This is full and has bishop sleeves. Then over this is worn a three-tiered bolero jacket, or three little jackets, each one a little smaller than the other. To mark the costume ns peculiarly appropriate to 1893, the great naval review, Christopher Colum bus and all that kind of thing, it is all made of red, white and blue. Do you understand? One tier— the first— white, the next red, the next blue, and each jacket is finished off with fine gold cord. There is also a thiee-decker sailor collar to the bolero jacket, of the same combination ot color, and on the corners of this gold anchors are worked. It is Ui» prettiest and most stylish yachting costume which i have seen this year. 1 must not forget to mention those useful white linen costumes, with neat bell-barked jackets and skirts worn with black satin irreproachable vests, which can be worn with Jittle shirt fronts of varying colors. These are quite suitable to be worn for yachting or any othar country pursuits. They are pre-emi nently suitable for coaching. If you have ii black satin vest made exactly like a man's, take care not to wear a gathered sash and rosette with your jacket; it looics incongruous, bee tout you have plenty of pockets in your vest, and also in your coat, and that your whole cos tume is satin-lined. In these days we ire particular about the inside ot the plattjrr. We are not whked sepul eherfi Do not have your skirts made any ex traordinary width; they are not winning »ny success with the public. I am 'peaking of those very wide, nine yards round, billowy ones. Six is a good cvidth; And have them gatnered very slightly into the waistband. Our first sketch shows a white serge racnUng gown. It has an open titrht fitting Eton, with low black satin waist coat in exact imitation of a man's even- Ing dress waistcoat. The shirt front should be white, well starched, and a black satin bow is worn with it. The braid placed on in points is navy blue. Large white pearl buttons are placed on •ach side of jacket, and a man-of-war's nairs cap is worn with this costume. The next gown is an indoor costume, composed of a beige-colored canvas, with black satin fathered vest. There are graduated bands of satin on skirt and sleeves, beaded with a narrow jet trim tning. The waist-band collar and heads on sleeves under puffs terminate with a icsette. The revers ar« simply stitched. LE BaUON Dli BUEJIOJsT. NOTES OF FASHION. Some of the Many Things No Well- Drcssecl Womiji} Must Be What to Beware of", and What to Have to Be Comfortable and Stylish. O WELL dressed woman is 8u p posed to be seen abroad with out her veil, no mat ter how imperfect her eyesight, or sincere her desire for "unstrained air." She will be an exacting young person, too, if she cannot find among the great variety ot veils this sea son something to satisfy her taste. Veiling comes in all colors, and "■^ff^sat in almost all designs. *. varies in thick ness from mere (ilia to the thick blue which our grandmothers approved and wore. The dUs seen are larger and more numerous: in many instances tiiey have developed into spider-like patterns, which spread grotesquely over the entire surface. They are worn as milady pleases, but a recent English fashion is shown in the illustration. It is a forced revival of a last year's custom, which fall into a very prompt and thorough "desue tude." It is to be feared that its suc cess will be greater this summer. YOU MUST WEAR THESE, Unless You Have the Firmness to Kejeot the Prevailing Modes. Beware of black hats. They are harm less enouch in cool weather, but they are dangerous in a sizzard. In the hot sun and a black" bonnet a woman runs a risk of being sunstruck; and a trirl in a biack hat is apt to get brain fever play ing tag or tennis. ■ TUE JOSEPHINE PMJME. The little poke bonnet with the Jose phine plume on top is the novelty of the midsummer finery now being boxed and expressed to the fashionable water ing places. It is not at till likely that the scuttle of lace and straw and green and white rips will take; the shrewd modistes are cautious, and the trim mings are lightly placed, to be trans ferred in a second to a more desirable shape. But at country houses there are always some gentlewomen with fancies for quaint styles— not fashions— and it is from among them that the orders will come, if they come at all, for the Jose phine scuttle and plume. "The scuttles will be sweet on a drag or hi a phreton before breakfast," the milliner's head clerk said, aa she slid the f'22 novelty into a pine box full of tissue paper. Some of the hats just here from Paris are preposterous. Fancy the au dacity of the Importer holding a lace draped model, with a tuft of feathers growing out of a crown the size of a teacup, at arm's length and asking the ban-headed customer to trive her $40 for it 1 • 1? NP s • STARTMSG PAUIBIAN ITAT. She will tell you. with a mirthless smile that the lace is a pretty duchess, that the frame 011 which it is plaited and draped is uendable silk wrought wire; that the flower-pot crown is chic, and that the smart way the tips are planted cannot be imitated. That is all very true, but it is a sin and a shame to pay 532 for the way S8 worth of duchess lace, silk wire and tips is p ut in shape. WOMEN BICYCLISTS. How They May Dress to Be Becom ing and Bewitching. HE gem is an nil important question., for the bicyclist,*' writes Elizabeth Ro It bins Pennell, who ought to know. "French women wear a"; sort of gymnasium dress, but this in Eng land, or in t most parts of the conti nent, would be too conspicuous. The skirt . must must have no unneces sary fullness, no bits; of fiyinar lirapery; there must be no braid or hems- .turned up on the Inside to catch in the pedals. The dress I nave found to answer has an arrangement of hooks an «l eyes;. by which it can be made o£ the .-'quired shortness to the. ankle when l am on the machine, though when I am off it is of the ordinary length. For the rest, a blouse and jacket, a good felt hat, wool en combinations and stays, and if your dress is of heavy enough cloth, knick erbockers instead of petticoat. In this costume, with a light machine, all I can wish you Is bright sunshine, a good road and the wind behind you." 1 " ■■'■irjl-^^ No city in America offers so many at tractions to tourists as St. Louis, the financial, commercial and manufactur ing metropolis of the West and South west. Visitors to the world's fair should arrange to spend a few days in that great city before returning to their homes. In its unique development and splendid prosperity, St. Louis is a type ot American progress and success, and should be visited by every seeker after knowledge and eutertaiument. THE SAINT PA HL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1893— SIXTEEN PAGE& PEOPLE OF ST. PAUL, Are you squanderers, money-losers, or don't you know a good thing- when you see it? Don't you know since we have been selling Dry Goods at such low prices it's like finding dollars? You wouldn't hesitate one moment to be out any kind of weather if you could walk on the streets and pick up gold dollars. Isn't it like finding money when you can buy New Goods 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than formerly? If that isn't saving money, then there's no such word as saving. True, some dealers have been on the warpath since we began sell ing Dry Goods. The first howl they make to a traveling salesman or manufacturer is: "Have you sold the Golden Rule? If so, you can't sell to us. No house can compete at their prices and live." It's perfectly natural for dealers who suffer depression in trade by the opposition of a pushing house to resort to any meanness. We went in the Dry Goods trade to be at the head of the procession, and by the heavens we'll be there. Any goods bought of us, if not entirely satis factory, we are perfectly willing to make them so. We can not do more. If this is not honest, then honesty died and was buried with George Washington, and the people of St. Paul will see no more of it till resurrection day. DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT.

Monte Carlo, the Haunt of Beauty and Paradise of Gamesters. Interesting Glimpses Into the Palace of Sin— A Noted Irishman. It is somewhat of a jar upon the mind to pass quietly from the historic splen dors of pagan and Christian Rome to the rich, warm beauties of the Riviera. All that is historically grand, either in paganism or in Christianity, greets the mind of the visitor to Rome: everything of present appeal to the senses offers itself to the agreeably embarrassed visitor to the Riviera. If ever an em barrassment of riches abstracted the senses of man, it is in the case of the natural beauties of this marvelous stretch of coast along the shores of the Mediterranean. The air is laden with the delicate aroma of most fragrant flowers, the aesthetic sense is appealed to with a force that even the most blase traveler cannot resist, the panoramic scenes before one are a verita.ble caress to the eye, and tile pleasantly mournful music of the Mediterranean is a joy forever to the ear. There is no place in. God's world where nature has done as much to adorn, and, as I shall show imme diately, there is not a spot in the world where man has done more in the inter ests of degradation than in Monte Carlo of the Riviera. Americans love to call Cannes the Newport of the Riviera. In point of extreme fashion it doubtless is, but the comparison hardly holds good under any other aspect. At any place on this world-famed coast it is a positive pleas ure to breathe. If the restless spirit of man would only permit him to sit down and philosophic himself into Living on a few cents a day, he might be far hap pier here than Humbert in the Quiri nal, or Victoria at Windsor. San Die-" go in Southern California has an atmos fhere similarly soothing as the Riviera, ndeed, the atmospheric conditions are better in the C&liforpiaa town, for the thermometer does not vary there more than 15 degrees throughout the year. But it has uo substitute for the ravish ing picturesqueness of the Riviera, nor does the gigantically majestic roll of the Pacific furnish a music equal to the soul-reaching strains of the Mediter ranean. Center of Attraction. Though eveiy prospect pleases In this charming bower of beauty, the center of attraction is not found in the luxuri ent vegetatiou of the tropical trees of San Kiiino, nor in the orauge-perfumed air of Cannes, nor yet in the salubrious shade of the palm trees of Monte Carlo. If the truth must be told, it is the gam bling tables of Monaco which draw the multitudes to that notorious spot. Forty thousand Americans, with more or less money, visit Europe every year. Of ihose who travel iv France and Italy, by far the majority pay a visit to Monte Carlo. Every country in Europe fur nishes its contingent for this fairy scene. ' Besides the numerous lazy lordlings and white-handed countesses who Hock thither, there also may be found mer chants, professional men, actors, jour nalists, novelists, male and female, and nondescript people of all kinds. The tables of Monte Carlo are the greatest leveler-up of social Inequalities in the whole world. Where els»\ says George Eliot, would the white bejeweled fingers of an English countess go so near touch ing the crab-like hand of the dry-lipped feminine figure by her side? And where else would.her ladyship have consented to sit by that prematurely old creature on her right,withered after short bloom, still striving to sparkle by the aid of artificial graces which yet remain to her as a remnant of her ill-gotten gains? And all visit the gambling tables. 1 never heard of any to refuse except the world's prima donna, Adelina i'aui. Nor is it mere curiosity which draws. Without searching the grosser aspects of humanity for motives, there is always the indefinable charm of living at some intensity and of escaping for ft time th«. average* humdrum of lite. Those who. have never been there can with diffi culty form an idea of the soul stirring which goes on in those gorgeous rooms^ Many novelists have attempted to de scribe it, but George Eliot's sketch given in the opening chapter of "Daniel Deronda" is the best. Probably her psychological studies enabled her to see farther than others into the serried ranks which surround the tables, their .very souls expanding in inteiisest in terest upon the game. What scourging sarcasm is contained In the remark of that unparalleled searcher of souls when she says that the vice of gambling consists in losing money at it. Of course she is only stat ing how the common-souled mortal looks at it— the individual who would never utter complaint so long as it is other mothers and sisters than hi 3 who have to suffer the peualtie* consequent upon relationship with a gambling rel ative. The Smallest on Earth. The principality of Monaco is the smallest independent territory, A be lieve, in the world. Frauce touches it on three sides; the Mediterranean washes it on the fourth. Its population is a little over 13,000, and of these more than 3,000 live at Monte Carlo, the cap ital.

It was not he who introduced gambling here. It was his father, Charles the Third— late Prince of Monaco. Bnt Albert Honore ably sustains the unsavory reputation of his dishonored father, and for this it is said that he receives the sum of §2,000,000 annually. It s somewhat disenchanting to find a lineal decendant of a chivalrous cru sader contaminating his little prince dom by entering into a contract with the notorious Francois Blanc, whereby Charles the Third's principality becomes the home of the greatest gambling es tablishment in the world. But Albert Honore could annul the contract if he wished. For it is to continue either until the year 1913 or until some grave disorder calls for its abrogation. The gravest disorders call for this every year. The Men In Charge. As far as appearances go, every one connected with this immense swindling machine is eminently respectable. The officials in charge of the pubjic offices of the principality are almost all courte ous Frenchmen; the men who wait upon the players at Monte Carlo are quiet, unostentatious ex-bank clerks, mostly from Germany. The most in veterate gamblers are scions of the faded nobility of Poland.or sons of the barbaric aristocracy of Russia. Like all well mannered people, the officials hate scenes, and do their best to have every thing carried out in the most decorous fashion. The contract which bound the princedom hand and foot and turned it over to gamblers does not mention a gambling company as party of the first part, but rather the innocent name of the "Society of the Bathing Establish muet of Monte Carlo." And the vast sum or" money which tourists take there! Where does it go? Echo answers where? You might as well. a9k, where are the snows of yesler year. Alan That Broke the Bank. Many foolish people imagine that they have discovered a system which is sure to win eventually. They go on in this delusion, returning: year after year with what money they can lay hands on, in the vain hope of vindicating their cher ished system. The delusion is .at length dispelled, and the usual result, namely, suicide or insanity, follows. Last winter , and spring there was a creat deal of talk: about a London swindler who was said. to have broken the bank at Monte Carlo, liis feat wus celebrated in street ballads. Music hall singers and noisy urchins sang it in the cities of at least two continents. The incident which in spired the street epic is an impossibility, for no man can break the baukat Monte Carlo. He may have a temporary suc cess. He may even succeed in winning all the money of one table. The table then suspends for an hour. That is all. This is what is meant by the phrase "breakiujj the bank." But it is a licti tious phrase. There is plenty of money outside be longing to the establishment. There are millions of its francs awaiting its call in the banks at Nice. More money Is secured within an hour, and play is resumed around the suspended table. ■The orieiual winner loses unless he should have succeeded in making his escape. This is very unlikely, for eyes of niirht aud morning blended are set upon him to cajole him back: and should these not succeed, the cold, clear, stony face of the wall-trained detective is CROCKERY.

Whilst the breaking of the banks does not mean anything like what the ex pression implies, it is always an excel lent advertisement for the gambling institution. The officials are delighted to let it co abroad that some lucky individual broke the bank, thus making a host of mouth-watering idiots, who little know the small insignificance of the so-called breaking ot the bank. The gambling establishment has recourse to other ad vertisements than the one mentioned. Newspapers are subsidized to teli of its charms; oily advertisements are pub lished, which are sure to capture the in cautious; broken-down old aristocrats are told of to seduce the rich scions of the houses to which they may yet have an entree; even the services of the more fashionable demi-monde are enlisted to brine victims to this omnivorous drag on's mouth. Scandal and Suicide. The officials are very careful to guard against two tilings— scandal and suicide. Tliese tell against their interests. For besides being a jar upon the gentle nerves ot the habitues of the place, if a knowledge of them came often before the world Christian civilization might rise in revolt and suppress the paltry priucedom. VVheu a man Is a likely subject for self-destruction, having lost all. the authorities of Monte Carlo watch him and try to get him out of the prin cipality. Once outside, he may commit suicide as soon as he pleases, as far as they are concerned. The inhabitants of Monte Carlo do not like to see death, even in an honor able form. They say that Monte Carlo is a place tor pleasure, not for mourn ing. There is some grim "humor in listening to these officials quoting Scrip ture, Lucifer-like, to sorau unhappy victim who has lost all his money, and, not having the courage to commit sui cide, begs for a pittance to take him to his wretched home. They seldom re fuse a pittance of this kind, but the unctuous way in which they accompany it with the Scriptural quotation, "Go and sin no more," recalls the picture of Satan rebuking sin. In spite of all precautions, the number of suicides is enormous. It has been computed that fully G,OOO have taken their own live 3 during the past fifteen years, although the population of the place does not rooch 4,000. It is difficult to get the actual figures, because the officials are interested in suppressing all such ugly knowledge. Some of the Monte Carlo visitors take their lives, Judas-like, by hanging; others bear the Dangs of poisoning; others, again, have recourse to the cruelly beautiful sea; but the majority of them end their earthly sorrows by a well-directed pistol shot. Should sorrowing relatives hear of the misdeed, which is not at all likely, they may claim the dishonored body, but their piteous pleadings will not be heeded. Monte Cailo officials will consign that body to a grave in their potter's field,and others will never be made the wiser as to the whereabouts of that grave. Toinratir.s an V.vll.

SHEET MUSIC :,&?%;£%• 5c tries in Europe to set themselves directly against gambling. Even these have done so at length, and have ' brought about most startling changes. Their action, however, cannot have full force as long as Monte Carlo gambling nourishes at their very doors. European countries cannot say that the United States should not be the first to throw the stone because licensed gambling obtains in Arizona. The gambling tables cr the Arizona bandits chiefly affect only a few score of cowboys; the tables repel rather than attract: the spirit of the nation is against them, and they must disapDear as our civilization spreads through the West. The strangest thing about the Monte Carlo establishment is that it pays for all public improvements in the munici pality, pays the prince ami all public officials, pays the- salaries of the bishop and the clergy. Here is one of the ar ticles of the treaty: "To pay all the salaries of the bishop, the clergy and the judicial dignitaries." Suppose the gambling houses of St. Paul (if there be any In it) were to pay the salaries of the police and the clergy, how long would Christianity last in the Saintly City ? The acceptance of this blood "money by the bishop and clergy, in Albert llonore's principality prob ably comes from their ignorance of the theology of public ethics. 'I heir action is only an aggravated form of that theological strabismus which induces the monks . of Grand Chartreuse to live on the procee of the liqueur made there, or the mon of the Church of the Three Fountains make a violent intoxicant from t juice of tho eucalyptus tree, or oth monks iuthe Allegheny mountains Barry on a orewery. These things a well-known to the world. But Savo arola would not have tolerated tin even if they were not known. They a only the passing remnants of a state public ethics which obtained wh princes, and not the people, ronued t public minds on questions of externa morality. They cannot continue. But as long as they do Col. Ingersoll will make use of them to heap ridicule upon Christianity. A Famous Foreigner. It is pleasant To get away from this scene of condensed disgrace and take refuijo in tho- charming town of Nice,' which, is only about halt an hour's journey ' from the '■■■ famous - gambling place. Its proximity to Monte r Carlo has not been an unmixed good for this most- delightful winter /resort. The ladie3 have an inveterate grudge against the -place-; because; of \a' neighboring i monastery V within . whose ; sacred "< pre siupts no woman is ever allowed to enter. Were there no such prohibition "the gentle sex would never* be so moved by an unholy curiosity to see the inside of an uninteresting old monastery. :, : The most distinguished resident -of Nice is Sir Charles Gavin Duffy;; What a remarkable career this rarely sifted man has had. tic first became famous as a rebel against England, and later on won the highest laurels as prime minis ter in Australia. . It was he svho with Dillon .1 and Davis \ established the N'a* tion newspaper in Dublin for the pur pose of r«achiiii? the : Irish, people to throw off .British domlnotion. He stood by Ills position as lone as there was any 'hope, 1 but wlmmi 'he % found that degen i eraled sons had made his : country like unto a corpse on the dissecting table, he left with a heavy heart for the tar-r>tr" antipodes. .John Mitchell looked upon him as being given to compromises, but Mitchell was as likely to have been wrong in this opinion as he was dis gracefully immoral in his advocacy of slavery. It is very probable, however, that the ex-Australian statesman would stand higher in the world's estimate had he refused all tithes from the country whose prowess he strived to overthrow in Ireland. Sir Charles is a man of letters as well as a statesman. His "Young Ireland" and his "Fuur Years of Irish History 1 ' are fascinating in style, as well as full of useful information. The poet Davis wsitf his idol; O'Connell he did not ad mire. In his book he finds fault witli the liberator because the latter, in his old age, wanted to many a very young girl. But, strange, to say. Sir Charles Gavin patty, who is eighty-six years of asre, did precisely tho very same thing which he found so reprehensible in O'Connell. He still pursues his literary bent and devotes a patriarchial interest to the advancement of Irish literature. He is one of the most respected citizens of Nice, aic! the glowing sunset of a busy lite casts a halo of glory around this distinguished journalist, sUtea man and man of letters.
