NAUGHTINESS AT DINNERS It I* Becoming More Common in New 3 York'i Swell Set. 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 mem bers thereof, Is decidedly on the In crease In the gay metropolis. Vaude ville performers, "sketch" teams and stars of the concert holla are no longer fada at faahlonable dinners. They are fixtures—Just as much a part of the menu as the oysters or tile coffee. Dur ing the holiday week tifty hostesses obtained the dramatic item of theli dinners from one firm alone, "and it was npt such a remarkably good week, either," said the senior member of the llrm. This custom of entertaining guests at dinner with professional talent has been growing in America for the past fifteen years, and last winter found It la the fullness of Its popularity. And these entertainers come high. An urt -Ist who has made any kind of a hit with a concert hall audience demands anywhere from SSO to SI,OOO for an hour's work. Bays one dramatic agenti "Sooner or later most of the season's domestic and imported naughtiness gels Into the homes of the rich an/1 the fashionable. Generally the real wick ed ones are hooked to do their turns before a small, solocted company ot guests—Just the Intimate friends of the host or hostess, who can be trusted to keep what they have seen to them selves. "Curious tiling about It, too," tho agent went on; "our best business is done during I-ont. You wouldn't think It, would you? But it's so, and has been for the last two or three years. While society Is doing penance and goes about in sackcloth and ashes he fore men, It is being entertained In its drawing rooms and dining rooms by artists whose work In the winter has made them famous or Infamous, which ever way you want to look at It. "I am Inclined to believe that tho 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 the parlor elocutionist type crave something a bit stronger now. especially in Lent.

The cblamye, onothex rectangular garment, shorter than the liimation, weighted at the corners, and fastened by a brooch so that one oornex hung dawn in front, was worn by men, with or without the chiton. It is espe cially weil shown in the horsemen on the frieze of the Parthenon. Occasionally Diana, or an Amazon, wears the chlamys, but it is the dis tinctive garment of the young Greek. Hands, belts and fillets were much worn. Men and women wound fillets around their heads. Women wore, of ten undec their chiton, a breast band adjusted below the bosom, not to com j press 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 also 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 alwaya 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 of tho bodily graces of the Greek. Women often wore elaborate head-dressee; many were revived In the latter part of the Eighteenth century and the first of the Nineteenth. Out of doors the head was covered either by folds of the peplos brought over the head and around the throat, or by a separate veil, sometimes thick, sometimes tliln, —Arthur's Ilouie 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 all neces sary noises, and even becomes mo 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 of doors with creaking hinges, the rut tling of blinds, creaking shoes, with noisy, 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 floors hard yet without noise, will con>- 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 floors and locks should be kept well Diled, 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 vieltor at the Capitol, the frescoes are attractive, the turbulence of the House and tire quiet dign-i/ty of the Senate are interesting in their con trast, hut, after all, the feature of uni versal interest in the white-domed bundling Ls the weather apparatus. 14 is something novel to glance at a map which tells you whether it is raining oi snowing, sunshiny or cloudy in Mon tana, Illinois or lx>uUUuia, or any where else in this broad land. You can tell whether the friends whom you left at home are wearing mackintoshes oi airing their spring clothes under blue skies, while even the temporatftire and the direction of the wind are recorded. But the map is uot the only feature. There ls something mysterious In the cabalistic characters which are traced on revolving cylinders, <uid which tell at a glance how hot or cold it is, or how hard the wind is blowing, or whether the sun is shining. The instruments which furnish the information are up on the roof of the Capitol, but delicate I wires, charged with electricity convey j the weather to the equally delicate in struments within the building. All day long a crowd of Interested vlsd/tora at the Capitol throng around the pretty mechanism and never cease to woudet at the progress of the age. The United States 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 Remarkttblu Ruche**. 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 Rosebery. Though the Duchess is well over eighty years of age, she is more juvenile in some things than mauy 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. I'OIII Hickory's" (n-niultlutightcr Resigns;. There is an olil saying that few Government employes die and none re sign. Secretary Gage is able to dis prove this assertion Ity a transaction which occurred in his office Friday. A granddaughter of "Old Hickory" Jackson, Mrs. Wilcox, who is a 3600 clerk in the Sixth Auditor's office, culled 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 born 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 tho 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-milo post in age, and retires from Government service, where she has served uninterruptedly since 1882. —Washington dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. Clmrmliig (Jueen 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 the 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, Bhe 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 us soon as they hear her voice, and eating sugar prettily frotn her hands. Roth 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 ih the private park with great dexterity, or following the hounds in the country. A Popular Mrxlran Woman. Mme. 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 Diaz is known among her people, from the mansions of the rich in tho 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 not 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 Portierio Diaz, and is in her thirty-third year. Bhe stands as a type of advanced Spanish-American womanhood, and among, other accom plishments speaks English and French almost with equal fluency. Bhe is re markably well informed on current events, aud her advice is often sought by her husband. Tho President is sixty years old, aud is very proud of his 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 fur 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. (iOHMIp.

A piano on an entirely new principle is announced from Germany. The strings are stretched across the sound ing board as in the ordinary piano, but 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 tones is said to be very remarkable. The high notes resemble those of an TEoliun harp. The middle and lower notes are like a 'cello or an organ.

Several month* ngo, Mis* Corn Watrous, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. I. C. Wntrous, n locomotive fireman, of G1 ('lurion Street, Bradford, Poiiiia., was seized with a nervous disorder which threatened to end her lire. The first symptom of the ailment was a loss of appetite. For some little (imp Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and com plained of a feeling of extreme lassitude. This was followed by severe pains in the head. For three weeks the young lady was nearly crazed with a terrible headache and nothing could be procured to give her re lief. Finally, after trying numerous remedies, a physician was culled and began treating the patient. He said the trouble was caused by impoverished blood, but after several weeks of his treutment the young lady's condition had not improved and tho I parents decided to procure the services of another physician. In the meantime Miss Watrous' nervousness had increased, the pains in her head had grown more severe and the sufferer's parents had almost given up hope of her recovery. It was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard of Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Pale People. He found that the pills were highly recom mended for nervous disorders and con cluded to give them a trial. A box of the pills was purchased and before they had all been taken there was a marked improve ment in the girl's condition. After a half dozen boxes had been used, the young lady's appetite had returned, the pain in her head hud censed 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. She stopped taking the medicine and by over-exertion brought the ailment back again. As soon as the returning symptoms wore felt, Miss Watrous secured another box of pills and the illness was soon driven away. She Is now in better physical con dition than she has been for years and de clares that she owes her life to Dr. Williams' Pink Tills. Mr. and Mrs. Watrous wore 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 utroug and healthy us any one could be. I cannot recommend tho medicine too high ly." Dr. Williams' Pink Tills contain, In a con densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an un failing specific for such diseases as loco motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after efTect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pule and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y. Brave Men. Alex McCluro of the Philadelphia Times says: "The two boldest men he knows arc John Waunumaker of Philadelphia and Tilly Haynes of Bostou. Both went to New York. Mr. Wanuamaker took the Stewart property, tho finest dry goods store in the world, and Mr. Haynes took the great Broadway Central Hotel, the largest in the city. But dry rot had crept into both of those magnificent properties and no ono dured to grasp them, until John Wnnna maker took one and Tilly Haynes the other.
