NAUGHTINESS AT DINNERS It la Becomlnir More Common in New * York's Bwcll Bet. In view of the disclosures which hare been made regarding the Indecent actions at the Seeley dinner In New York recently, It Is not without Inter est to note that the practice of having as entertainers at swell society din ners members of the theatrical profes sion, If possible the naughtiest mean berg thereof, Is decidedly on the In crease In the gay metropolis. Vaude ville performers, "sketch" teams and stars of tile concert halls are no longer fads at fashionable dinners. They are fixtures—Just as much a part of the menu us the oysters or the coffee. Dur ing the holiday week fifty hostesses obtained the dramatic Item of tbeli dinners from one firm alone, "and II was upt such a remarkably good week, either," said the senior member of the firm. This custom of entertaining guests at dinner with professional talent has been growing In America for the post fifteen years, and lust winter found It In the fullness of Its popularity. And those entertainers come high. An art ist who has made any kind of a hit with a concert hall audience demands anywhere from SSO to $1,500 for an hour's work. Bays one dramatic ngcnti "Sooner or later most at the season's domestic and Imported naughtiness gets Into the homes of the rich and the fashionable. Generally the real wick ed ones are booked to do their turns before a small, selected comistny oi guests—just the Intimate trlends of tlis host or hostess, who can bo trusted to keep what they have seen to them selves. "Curious tiling abont It, too," the agent went on; "our best business is done during I-cnt, Yon wouldn't think It, would you? But It's so, nnd has been for the last two or three years. While society Is doing penance and goes about In sackcloth and ashes be fore men, It Is being entertained In its drawing rooms and dining rooms by artists whose work In the winter lius made them famous or Infamous, which ever way you want to look at It. "I am Inclined to believe that the ten dency for what the world calls 'ques tionable performances' Is growing. That Is as far as the private entertain ments are concerned. The young folk —the buds—who a few years ago were Satisfied with tlas parlor elocutionist type crave something a bit strongei now, especially In Lent.

The chlamys, onothei rectangular garment, shorter than the lilmation, weighted at the corners, and faiStened by a brooch so that one oornei hung down In front, waa worn by men, with or without the chiton. It is espe cially wc-il shown in the horsemen on the frieze of the Parthenon. Occasionally Diana, or an Amazon, wears the clilainys, but it is the dis tinctive garment of the young Greek. Bunds, bells and fillets were much worn. Men and women wound fillets around their heads. Women wore, of ten under their olid ton, a breast band ! adjusted below the bosom, not to corn j proas the form, but to protect the or gans. Indeed, there was no tempta tion to compress the waist, the flowing drapery veiling the waist The band which confined the short, or caught up the long chiton, was aJo of cloth, but the outer belt, holding In the loose folds of the upper part of the long chi ton, was often of gold enriched with ! jewels, and always beautifully adorn ed. Great care was taken of the hair; In deed, a mysterious virtue'was suppos ed to lie in the locks, which, carefully washed and perfumed, were one ot tho bodily graces of the Greek. Women often wore elaborate head-dresses; many were revived in the latter part of tho Eighteenth century and the first of tho Nineteenth. Out of doors the head was covered either by folds ot the peplos brought over the head and around the throat, or by a separate veil, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, —Arthur's Home Magazine. Unnecessary Noise. This Is a noisy world. All nature'* operations are accompanied by more or less noise, so that even In "the quiet country" uninterrupted silence seldom reigns. In the city the din is almost insupportable; It has Increased very much during the last helf century be cause of the vast amount of machinery employed, and the use of electric and steam power. Now night brings the city no respite, and how much of the nervousness and insomnia of tho pres ent decade Is due to this Increase of noise might be an interesting subject for the study of sanitarians. Human ity adjusts itself usually to nil neces sary noises, nnd even becomes so ac customed to certain sounds that many cannot sleep when the noise ceases. The noise which is most disturbing is that heard close at hand and unusual. A few nights of sleeplessness a short time ago led me to think the slamming ef doors with creaking hinges, the rat tling of blinds, creaking shoes, with Qolsy, heavy walking, were the most distracting and annoying noises. Next to this is loud conversation and whis pering. The inventor of a noiseless shoe, and elastic door casings, which will enable people to shut or slam doors hard yet without noise, will coib fer a great boon upon nervous human ity. In the meantime, all persons, es pecially at night, should wear felt or ?ork-solod or other soft slippers. All doors and locks should be kept well oiled, and every one should try to cul tivate the art of shutting doors as noise lessly as possible. The Capitol's Weather Map. The Immensity of the rotunda im presses the visitor at the Capitol, the frescoes are attractive, the turbulence of the House and the quiet dignify oi the Senate are interesting im their con trast, hut, after all, the feature of uni versal Interest in the white-domed bulldlug Is the weather apparatus. 14 Is something novel to glance at a map which tells you whether it is raining or snowing, sunshiny or cloudy In Mon tana, Illinois or Louisiana, or any where else in this broad land. You can tell whether the friends whom you left at home are wen ring mackintoshes ox airing their spring clothes under blue skies, while even the temperature and the direction of the wind are recorded. But the map is uot the only feature. There Is something mysterious Ln the cabalistic characters which are traced on revolving cylinders, and which tell at a glance how hot or cold it is, or how hard the wind is blowing, or whethei the Bun is shining. The Instruments which furnish the information are up on the roof of the Capitol, but delicate wires, charged with electricity convey the weather to the equally delicate in struments within the building. All day long a crowd of interested vlaHors at the Capitol throng around the pretty mechanism and never cease to woudei at the progress of the age. The United Htates has produced two-thirds of the cotton consumed by the world for the ast 07 years. Flowers for the Hat. In millinery the lilac take the lead, and some very fetching effects are fashioned from these exquisite flowers; entire toques being formed from them. Another favorite flower is the giant clover in shaded red and mauve tints. Home of the largest of these clovers are about as big as a small orange. They tower up loftily form ing a very striking trimming. The dainty mignonette is quite popu lar, and a bunch of this sweet little flower, together with several half-open rose buds, peeping from under the in dented brim of a large hat form a de cidedly picturesque effect. A Itemurkiibli; IJuchcH*. Speaking of some of the women octogenarians of England a writer in London Answers pronounces as prob ably the most remarkable member of the aristocracy the aged Duchess of Cleveland, famous by her own indi viduality, and still more famous in the person of her celebrated son, Lord Rosehery. Though the Duchess is well over eighty years of age, she is more juvenile in some things than many women of fifty. Her Grace al ways dresses in white whenever it is at all possible, and she has a perfect passion for traveling. Half her life is spent on the continent or at the cape. COM Hickory's" Grnmlditughtcr Resigns. There is an old saying that few Government employes die and none re sign. Secretary Gage is able to dis prove this assertion by a transaction which occurred in his office Friday. A granddaughter of "Old Hickory" Jackson, Mrs. Wilcox, who is a SOOO clerk in the Sixth Auditor's office, called upon the Secretary of the Treas ury and told him she had enough of Government service and proposed to resign, to take effect August 1. Inci dentally she informed Secretary Gage that she was horn in the White House, and a lock of her hair is now in the corner stone of the Treasury Depart ment building. She was a little girl at the time the corner-stone was laid, and a lock of her hair was solicited and cheerfully given for this purpose. Mrs. Wilcox is now beyond the four score-mile post in age, and retires from Government service, where she has served uninterruptedly since 1882. —Washington dispatch to the Chicago I Tribune. Charming IJucen Regent. The Queen Regent of Spain is one of the most charming of women. She has a sweet voice, a pleasant smile, and a gracious manner. Her lfe is passed in almost as complete retire ment as that of our own Queen. She never dines out, and rarely goes to tho theatre or the opera. Yet her time is fully occupied, she holds a council once a week, sees her Ministers, gives various audiences to various officials and others every day, and superin tends her children's studies with the greatest care, says The Lady. .She herself is most accomplished, speaks four languages, besides her own, quite perfectly, and is passion ately fond of music. In addition, she is a fine rider, and has a splendid seat on horseback. In her stables are to bo found English, Spanish, Irish and Arab horses, to all of which she is de voted, her own personal favorites fol lowing her as soon as they hear her voice, and eating sugar prettily from her hands. Both the Princesses, her daughters, and the little King ride and drive constantly, while the Infanta Isabel, her sister-in-law, may bo seen tooling her four-in-hand of mules ifi the private park with great dexterity, or following the hounds in the country. A Popular Mexican Woman. Mine. De Diaz, the wife of the Pres ident of Mexico, is not only the first lady of the country, but is the most popular woman of the republic. Senora Dona Carmen Romero Rubio de l)iaz is known among her people, from the mansions of the rich in the brilliant capital to the humblest hut on the frontier, as Carmelita, meaning "Our little Carmen," says the New York Times. Her popularity over increases, for each year sees a larger number of good works dispensed by this generous woman, who uses her power to im prove the lot of a long-oppressed and unhappy people. Mme. Diaz is often appealed to on behalf of some one or other sentenced to long imprisonment or death. Official pardon is a delicate power for any one to hold, and the President's wife is naturally careful for the justice of her cause before she goes to her lord to plead for executive clemency. But the President himself is of a forgiving nature, and uot infre quently the pardon is granted. Neither the President nor his wife attends the the brilliant but brutal bull fights, and in every way they use their influence against the degrading spectacles. It is certain that the President will en tirely prohibit them as soon as public sentiment gives any hope of upholding his wishes. "Carmelita" is the second wife of General Porfierio Diaz, and is in her thirty-third year. She stands as a type of advanced Spanish-American womanhood, and among, other Accom plishments speaks English and Frehch almost with equal fluency. She is re markably well informed on current events, and her advice is often sought by her husband. The President in sixty years old, and is very proud of Uia fair young wife. When their mar riage took place, in 1884, they took their wedding tour through the United States. Her girlish grace and sim plicity of manner well match her beauty. Her ancestry dates far back into the nobility of old Castile, and the evidences of long culture are easily marked. It is plainly apparent that a considerable part of the republic of Mexico and the desire of the people to keep President Diaz in office are due to the general esteem for his lovely wife. OoßHlp.

A woman attending 'services in the Park Avenue Church, Syracuse, N. Y., ! removed her pretty hat aud sat with uncovered head throughout the ser mon. Some of the Syracuse papers are commending her highly, and say that the custom of removing hats in church should be just as much of an item for public comfort as it is in the theatres. Mme. Patti lias a perfect passion for linen. Her cupboards are among the wonders of Craig-y-Nos. Caroline* her faithful servitress of thirty years' stand ing, has tied up the beautiful sets of sheets and pillow cases and towels and table cloths and napkins iu pink and blue ribbon, with little upstanding bows, so the cupboard, when opened, resembles u flower garden. Mine. Patti is adored by her servants, and is even (contrary to the old adage that no man is a hero to his valet), a heroine to her maid. Fuhliloii Note..

The tresses are close ly crimped and arranged very loosely over the sides of the head. Silk is so cheap that it is almost a glut in the London market. The new est patterns are early Victorian in de sign and color. Small and large checks, conventional flora, and geometric fig urea denote a return to old modes. Women of wealth who have stores of costly lace are having priceless shawls made over, or draped, into the popular style. Less fortunate ones have the opportunity to buy lovely garnitures ready made for a small sum. Tailor-made coats and skirts alike, of cloth, tweed 01- cheviot, are quite as much worn as ever, and there is no end of fancy waists to wear with them, the most pronounoed of all being those of bright plaid silk, made up in the shirt-waist stylo. • • — — THE MERRY SIDE (JE LIFE.

A piano on an entirely new principle is announced from Germany. The strings are stretched across the sound ing hoard as ill the ordinary piano, lint the entire hammer mechanism is ab sent. Instead, the depressing of the key puts in action a magnet, which au tomatically attracts and releases the wire, thus producing vibrations with out the metallic stroke which accom panies the sound in the common type. The resulting effect upon the toneH is said to be very remarkable. The high notes resemble those of an TEoliall harp. The middle and lower notes are like a 'cello or an organ.

A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAS NERVOUS PROSTRATION. The Revivifying Effects of n Proper Nerve Food Demonstrated. From the Era, Bradford, ra. Several mouths ago, Miss Cora Wntrous, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. I. C. Watrous, a locomotive fireman, of 61 Clarion Street, Bradford, I'enna., was seized with a nervous disorder which threatened to end her life. The first symptom of the ailment was a loss of appetite. For some little time Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and com plained of a feeling of extreme lassitude. This was followed by severe pains iu the j head. For three weeks the young lady was nearly crazed with a terrible headache and nothing could ho procured to give her re lief. Finally, after trying numerous remedies, a physician was called and began treating the patient. He said the trouble was caused by impoverished blood, but after several weeks of his treatment the young lady's condition had not Improved aiid the parents decided to procure the services of another physician. Jn the meantime Miss Watrous' nervousness had increased, the pains iu her head had grown more severe and the bufforer's pnronts hud almost given up hope of her recovery. it. was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People. He found that the pills were highly reeom- I mended for nervous disorders and con eluded to give them a trial. A box of the pills was purchased and before they had ull been taken there was a murked improve ment in tlie girl's oondition. After a half dozen boxes had been used, the young lady's appetite had returned, the pain in her head had ceased and she was stronger than at any time previous to her illness. Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was complete and left home for a visit to rela tives in the grape country near Dunkirk. N. Y. Nhe stopped taking the medicine and by over-exertion brought the ailment back again. As soon us the returning symptoms wore felt, Miss Watrous secured another box of pills and the illness was soon driven away. She Is now iu better physical con dition than she bus been for years and de clares that she owes her life to Dr. Williams' rink Tills. Mr. and Mrs. Watrous were Interviewed by a reporter at their home on Clarion Street. Both are loud in their praises of Pink Pills. My daughter's life was saved by the medicine," said Mrs. Watrous. "Her condition was almost hopeless when she commenced taking them, but now she is as strong and healthy as any one could be. I cannot recommend the medicine too high ly."
