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. We gave then)
the beat—or the worst—wo had last
year, and I don't suppose they will lie
content with any Sunday school benefit
this year."

Ayer's Sarsaparilla. H
Tho Old Greek Costume.
Men often wore the liiinatlon alone,
without chiton. 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,

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.

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.

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

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.

The Electrical Piano.
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. It responds
readily to every variation in power and
expression. A note can he sounded
for several minutes without varying in
quality. So radically different from
all existing instruments are the effects
that a new style of music is needed to
bring out its capabilities.—lllustrated

A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAS
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
Tle Revivifying Effects of n Proper Nerve
Food Demonstrated.
From the Era, Bradford, ra.
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.

John Waunumaker of Philadelphia and

property, tho finest dry goods store in the
world, and Mr. Haynes took the great
Broadway Central Hotel, the largest in

dured to grasp them, until John Wnnna

A complete and unqualified success has
crowned the efforts of both. Verily a good
reputation is better than riches."

Hones in a Silver Vein.
I If the lind of a Colorado silver mil*
| or, made half a dozen years ago, be
. taken into account, there Is but llttk
doubt that the human race existed on
tills continent as long ago as the Unw
when the sliver veins were In process
of formation. In the Rocky Point
| mine, at Oilman, 400 feet below the
i surface, a number of human bone*
were found imbedded In the silver
bearing ores. When taken out ovei
SIOO worth of ore still clung to the
bones. An arrowhead made of tem
pered copper and four Inches long, was
also found with the remains.
The I<eft Ear the Beat.
It has been ascertained by experi
ments that a number of persons who
use the telephone habitually hear bet-
I ter with the left ear than with ths
right. The common practice of the tel
ephone companies Is to place the re
ceiver so thut it will be applied to the
left ear. In order to educate the right
ear to the same point of efficiency it is
recommended that the receiver be held
In the right hand half if the time.
