WHITI SULPHUR -k GKXJMKiH COl'XTY, Wnt VlKUITIA.l eWsptemberLlNU With the birthday of golden autumn and the waxing of the silver crescent comes the waning of the season of 1881.

Hearts that are who! and hearts that are holy, hearts that have been rent in twain, and hearts too tonen even tor the mollifying Influence of dear old Virginia's baimy summer resin, are dispersing In all directions. Cols that have supported the weary limbs of stalwart heroes daring the Client nours oi me night, screens flimsy cambric muslin screens that have inclosed noble maniy souls while those Innocent vsiuly Imagined they were hid from mortal je during the moments sacrificed to elabor ate to let, ancient and rickety tables, chairs to maich. all have succumbed) to September's rail.

The sound of the hammer Is heard. The former breathing places that led to the great galleries are again accessible, and the genus homo, masculine and feminine, are at liberty to survey themselves from top to toe before descending to the parlor floor. A large mir ror aaoms the wall of these square alcoves. called reception rooms. Nine hundred guests still linger, but by the time this is a week old scarce five hundred will be Here, and these will belong to that generation who, in ante-bellum days, traveled hither In their own couch, drawn by half a dozen Wooded horses, iheu the scream of the steam whistle was not beard in these parts.

The snap of the whip and the blow of the horn resounded through the valleys as the distinguished gucsu arrived.

Then these little ones went through the Jancera, and waltzed in time to perfect dance music. Larger human ity were requested to abstain from daocing until 1020 p. m. This modest request was graciously compiled with; it certainly ought to have been, as this was the only evening daring the entire summer that children have danced after nine o'clock.

Pillow-cases and sheets made a number of substantial "Phantoms," and the whole assemblage kept themselves and spectators jubilant till the "wre sma' hours." One young lady's toilet consisted of newspapers, the American Queen Deing tue only Journal whose name was conspicuous. The shost skirt was made of four side-plaited flounces reaching to the plaited wsitit or shooting-jacket, if you plene. The sleeves descended to the elbow am! were finished with a plaited rufQe. The luiban hat was exceedingly becoming, and tne lady remarkably handsome. A Sister of Charity and a black-hooded monk danced opposite "Mephistopbelcs" and the "Queen if the Ashsntees." One fantastically attired lady wore a head dress of peacock feathers, the spread-tail of the bird towering a couple of feet in the air.

our Japanese neighbors were represented by a young man of six feet of height in his slippers those he wore and of about fifteen inches of breadth. The would-be "Jap" looked about a mile long, and thin enorgh to see through. Indians war paint and feathers were no meruus. By the way, some of these "red men' soon discarded their blunkets: the night was hot, very hot, and forgot to put the blankets where they found them. 'There is to be a reform on this maneuver next season.

After the 'ball a game supper was served, with "Pomery aec. Thus ended, the first of the lat of these fandangoes. Yesterday evening the boys and girls had a little "phantom hop" all to themselves.

This broad statement is not correct. And this statement would also depend upon what one considers worthy of digesting.1 Just as I was leaving "Manhattan" for these delectable oris, ominous warnings regard-lug the scantiness of my future menu were wbb-pered into my ear.

But the next meal, breakfast, was not bad, barring the beefsteak and cold plate. The dinner was bountiful snd good. During July and the first week of August there was A DtATB OF FRUIT.

Never shall I forget that first saucer pf stunted, acrid whortleberries. To cro-vn uWill-flavored dish "Squloty," my waller, without consulting me, poured a I blue-while fluid over the fruit, and told me the stun was cream. To see the shriuking thlrgs move aboutreminded me of a quantity of blue pills, and my unwilliug throat utterly refused to partake of any more tea.

The great draraatlo or, rather, musical, event of the coming season haa been settled at last: we are positively to have tne fran-eolae Rimini of M. Ambroise Thomas at the Grand Opera.

The production of this iong-talked-or opera, which has been promised and then withdrawn some dozen times, st least, since the opening of the new Opera-house, haa been poHtponed thus long on account of the impossibility of finding a pri madonna thai was at onee beautiful, gifted and cheap. The latter qualification waa essential, for the director of thsUrand Opera-house is like the director of the Luxembourg Gallery in purchasing pictures, in respect to prices; one half of the remuneration, at least. Is to consist of honor and glory. Now. a prtraa- donna possessing at once beauty, talent, train ing, dramatic powers, a fine voice, is something of a roro oris, and Is bard to find, and when found la apt to think rather highly oi her own qualifications, and so chares accordingly.

In fact, the direater waa something in tb position of a countryman of our own. who went not Ions ago to a picture dealer of Paris, snd declsred his Intention of buying Melssonler. "But 1 want none of your darned high-priced Melsaoniera, be remarked; "I want a cheap one." However M. Naucorbell was luckier than waa this Would-be patron of French art. It was not without trouble, how ever.

There were plenty of singers who would hsve personated "Franceses1' for nothing, but M. Thomas would have none of them. There were several singers thst would have suited the requirements of the composer exactly such as Patti, Nllsson snd Albani, but these ladles are not content to be paid in honor and glory, but demand solid coin. Madame Al bani was indeed the ideal "Franceses" of Thomas reams, snd negotlst ons were opened with her more then once, hut they all ime to i. aught, thecond tions Imposed upon that fair and famous prlma-donns being tha she should sign an engagement for about half her usual terms; that she should sing three times a week, and that she should bind herself to remain in Paris for no less a peroid than three months.

Moreover, the music ot her part was la be an heard and on seen by her till she commenced rehearsing. So, under the circumstances, the lady de cline! the honor, and goes next winter to Berlin to sing there in Wagner's operas. whereof she is declared to be the most gifted exponent now living. Then Mad. Krauss, present prl ma-donna of the Grand Opera.

waa talked of, but Mad. Krauss is very plain. and is growing old, and ber voiee Is no longer what it was, so M. Thomas declined to accept the square-shouldered, brond-faced elderly Auhtrian as the Impersonator of the fair vis ion of Dante's dreams, Miss Lilian Norton, the beautiful American girl who came to Kurope with Oilmore's Orchestra In the Ex hibition year, and who sang Isst winter with mnch success In St. Petersburg, pal In her claim, as did also the successful American debutante.

Miss ris wo id. Sundry French critics supported. the cause of M'lle Daram. whose voice and countenance were alike tnin ana sour ana panee, like common wine that haa been kept too lent. But at lost the representative of Francesca" has been secured in the person of a very beautiful French girl.

Mile Caroline Balls, M'lle Salla, whose real name is De Keptavsux, is the daughter of a former Secre tary of M. On Icot, and is also a cousin of the great poet. Alfred DeMusset. She has sung with trreat success for two seasons past in St. fetersburg, ber favorite parts being "Aids' and "Mignoo," Her' photographs, showing her in a pensive attitude, with a wealth of flowing hair falling like a mantle over ber shoulders, have long been on sale in the pho tograph shops of Psria for a year past, but she has never yet sung in this city.

Bbe will look he character, to the life, but how she will sing it and set It remains to be seen. How the "Franceses" is found, and that is the msin' point. The other parts hsve already been distributed. Sellier, the wonder ful tenor, who was rinsing out Dotues in a Ins-shop on the Rue Drouot when M. Thomas first began writing this opera, is to betbefPeolo." Fassalle, the greatest of liv ing baritones, is to personate the wrongea husband.

"Malatesta," and the minor part- are to be taken by other leading members of the company. A peculiar Interest is attached to tne pro duction of The Franeaca from the fact that it is probably the last Important work that tbeeomposerofAfierum and ot Hamlet will ever aive to the world. It has absorbed hia time and thoughts siuce IMS. at which period the latter ofeera was produced. M.

Thomas Is now seventy years of age, and sbsres with Gounod the honor of being tbe greatest or livlns French composers. I wonder if this new snd rauch-talked-of work will be a suc cess a genuine success thst Is to ssy, both nM-unlarr aud artlstie one! Does any one know, out of the myriads ot operas thst hsve been written in all the world during the last twenty-five years, how many have achieved suchatrlumpbf Exactly two, Aoiuf snd A ida. Onr new Minister, Mr. Levi P. Morton, with his charming wife aud their bevy of fair little children, are still at Bt, Germain.

Tbey leave that-beautiful but rather dreary Sot next week to proceed to Vichy, where Mrs. Morton and her young family will remain throughout the month of September. The spacious hotel on tbe Place Bitche, which Mr. Morton la on the Dolnt of engaging, will next" claim much of the thoughts and attention of the Minister and his wife, for they intend, very wisely, to furnish their own abode not to take a furnished house or apartments. This is by far tbe mwt Judicious course-of proceeding, for the rant of furnished dwellings so far exceeds that of unfurnished oues that the tenant of the former is generally supposed to pay for tbe furniture out snd out in three years' time.

Moreover, there is always a great deal of bother with tbe landlord In quitting a furnished abode in Paris. For your high rent is not, as In America, considered as the equivalent for the ordinary wear and tear of tbe furniture, but when the tenant proposes to leave an expert is called in, and every scrsteb, stain, spot and crack in the whole abode, whether on wall-paper, carpet or furniture. Is hunted oat and charged for. Every nsil driven into the wails, for instance, costs franc, and larger damages In proportion. Of course the furniture is seldom or never brand-new, so that the same defacings may be.

and generally are, paid for by a long success too of lodgers, particularly If the landlord is so fortunate as to get bold of Americans. In one instance a lady was charged S12 for a missing is his otTTtr whan she gave us bar rooms prs- paratory to going borne. When half way across the Atlantic she suddenly remembered that the landlady herself had taken swsy the table-cover in order, as she said, to have it cleaned. lu another Instance three ATferlcan families in soo-oesslon. were forced to pay for the came hole in an under-mattrtss, and probably the landlord continues to compel bis tenants to compensate him for the damage done to that self-same mattress down to this very dsy.

But they do not have the same chance at the purses or our country people as heretofore. Paris has ceased to be the great European center tor American residences. The high prices that have prevailed since the Univer sal Exhibition hav dons much to break np mat onee thriving institution the American colony. There is no longer any court to attract the lovers of social gayety with royal and brilliant festivities. The climate In win tr is very trying to American by reason of 1U chill dampness.

So now that Parts is one of the dearest capitals to reside in in Europe instead of being, as heretofore, one of the cheapest, it is being rapidly dethroned In the favor of our country people by Dresden, Flor ence, Stuttgart, and even London.

Nxw Yoax. Septembers, 1881. A great many of ns are coming back to town to get married. Tbe flirtations of July became serious Intentions in Augnst, and matrimonial engagements in September, with weddings prospective for October. November snd December.

Having settled tbe com pari lively minor matter of choosing a husband. tbe fashionable girl now turns her heartfelt attention to getting herself satisfactorily dressed for marriage also to bettering her person. She desires above all things to be st least pretty, if not beautiful, on that awful occasion, snd to accomplish that purpose she goes through all the rejuvenation possible. met a girl at Saratoga who told me that she waa trying to fatten herself for bridal. The affianced husband waa an ardent admirer of plumpness, and she was rather lean.

The amount of oatmeal and oream she consumed was marvelous, and she lolled around all day long, refusing to danee even, for fear of work ing off an ounce of flesh. A month of that kind of trestment Increased her weight nine pounds; but It dldnt improve her appear- anee, to my mind, because she bad a porky look in the face, and ber skin became bad from indigestion. Tbe wiser system com monly adopted toy affianced wives is a plain nourishing diet, plenty of exercise, and long. regular hoars of sleep. These braes bar up In health, and an Improved appearance is the consequence.

Ia addition to these measures. ahe does all the ARTIFICIAL BRATTTrrTrKO That may be possible in her particular case. Her month Is repaired by a dentist, If there is any thing that can be done to ber teeth, and it an astounding what the dentista of the pres ent day can accomplish in the way of whiten Ing and straightening. If any of the natural teeth be gone, or in such a condition as to make extraction advisable, then false ones are cleverly adjusted; and- the practice of making these not quite perfect, either in shape or color, has become so common that the false can hardly be distinguished from the real. goes to a manicure and pedi cure, who fixes up her hands and feet, shaping and burnishing the nails, removing corns and callous spots, and smoothing the skin with lotions.

This part of the work sometimes in cludes tbe removal of hair from tbe arms and legs, for most brunettes are subject to too much hirsute growth. The sensible girl, however, will omit this, snd let ber husband see the defect. If it be one, while she Is a brand-new wife, and not go to him smooth as alabaster, only to become hairy, after the charm of novelty is gone from ber. The best thing she can do for her complexion Is to uschew paint, and let a physician endeavor to drive tbe humors out of her blood. This should be done long enough before tbe wed ding, for the purification, glmont a ways tsaa porarily roughens the skin.

Turkish baths are now fsshionsble for girls near matrimony, the belief being that they Impart a healthy softness and glow. I am noV going to write much about VEDDISO COSTtTf ESI, For they are this season to be the same elaborate white constructions of satin or silk brocade as before, varied only by tbe general fashions, and the orange blossoms and veils will remain In vogue, unbecoming though bey are to most wearers. A bride's outfit, of course, comprises a greater or less number of costumes not distinctly matrimonial, and in describing these I give information of general value to ail my female readers. To begin with, tbe Indications of sny change from the short-new and scantiness of skirts are slight. Judging by tbe latest imported French costumes, and If hoops do come in tbey will do so purely as an American style, without support from abroad.

Tbe superimposed draperies are more abundant and elaborate than before, but tbe skirts themselves are ss narrow as ever. In ease a woman is tall and sllghtsbe will stiffen the back draperies, or wear a small bustle of mohair, snch as have been worn always by women of that physique. The beat and newest dresses being worn at tbe close of the season, at Newport, I am told, indicate a more bouffant style of skirt draperies, but this is chiefly observable in diaphanous toilets. The silks, soraha, velvetaand satins, as well as the light wool driving jind walking costumes, areas flmp and lanky as ever. I don't wish it to be understood, because I show a prejudice against hoops, that I have any interest one way or the other in the efforts of certain parties to thwart i he threatened boom of tbe boopaklrt makers.

If hoops win the dsy I shsll acknowledge it and wear them. The hip draperies of the flu est KASLT ALL DRESSES Are looped high, and seem to form decided panlera, while tbe back draperies fall In voluminoos plaits suggestive of a cock's tail. so high and puffy is the arrangement. This hides a woman's lower body for tbe first time In years. Trains will be the exception rather than tbe rule for evening dresses.

The camel's hair, cashmere, beige, light cloth. ight flannels, cheviots and together with all diagonal and checked goods, will be fashionable this season. They are being made up In suits composed entirely of one stuff, especially when Intended for ordinary wear, as fatigue costumes, traveling dresses and visiting suits, and for more dressy cos tumes they are combined with moire silk. satin mervellleux, or striped silk and wool novelty goods. Frequently tbe skirt is of the letter, while the tunic, basque and sleeves are of plain, broken, checked or diagonal wool stuffs.

Deep collars, almost capes In size. msde of the ssme material as the dress. and lined with silk or flannel, are formed simply of a straight piece shirred In at the neck, about an inch being left above the shirring tn form a close frter-e around tbe throat, while the front below falls half way to the Lined with fur, and with muffs to match, these little pelerines will form the eeriteat additions to cool weather costumes. Dark garnet vigogne and easbmere will be fashionable dress fabrics combined with silk plush' or velvet a shade darker. Terra-cot ta ahades will also be in vogue in soft woolens, to be trimmed with Roman plalded or Persian striped surah, or more elegantly with panels, revera, vests.

eufls and pelerines of seal-brown plash. Black lee ot satin surah and tbe silk called Bhadxlmlr will be more worn tban gros grain or faille. Black cashmere and 'other black all-wool goods are again to be combined with velvet. Plush, silk and satin surahsn.oirs silk and striped novelty goods. AS TO FALL SILU5XIT.

Hats and bonneta are being made much larger tban those of last winter, and trimmed profusely with feathers to the exclusion of flowers. Ostrich plumes ana tntts wiu ne tne first favorites In feathers: but fancy featner plumes, aigrettes, wings, bands and all sorts of -orasments will oe worn. too. xne Importations of the feathers and whole birds of various kinds nave oeea nesvy. uoves.

hammers, kingfishers, guinea-hens, peacocks, merles, and great pbesssnts front the Him. ayan Mountains, have been brought over whole to be stripped here of their plumage, which is now being pasted and tied together in ail sorts of combinations for the fail niil-linery trade. The favorite feather ornament this fall will prooaniy oe a uuw miw mad of bias or groan, pheasant's ekravsuxl the body, those of tbe scarlet ibis or flamingo for the comb, and real blue-green India game-cock feathers for the talL This will be worn ss a side ornament on turbans composed of feathers, or on hands of feathers encircling tbe crowns of larger hats. About the only imported hats thus far shown la tbe stores are turbans; but tha Derby is sure to be worn by natty young women, though Instead of slnale black or oeari -colored one there Will be a variety in the rich shades of dark ad mirsl blue, hunters' green, dahlia color, olive and seal brown, to match various street costumes. Nothing Is Jauntier than a Derby hat on TBI RIGHT Klirn OT A HEAD, Which must be a sbspely one with delicate, feminine features; but on nine women out of ten it is unbecoming.

In the new French capotes the trimmings, lnstesd of drooping behind tbe ear on the sides of the toque, are brought up higher on tbe head, showing more over the face In front. Although flowers wlH not be in vogue, snch growths ss blsckberries. tomatoes, green gages, dark red plums, bssel- nuts, thistles, acorns, caterpillars and birds nesu filled with eggs, are some of the novel adornments on importations of French milli nery. The greatest novelty I have yet seen from the hands of New York designers for this season la an Alsacian peasant-ahapfe, with peaked crown and gracef ully rolling brim. It wss made of black open-work satin braid with a narrow bordering on tbe brim of very smsll, beaded ostrich tips.

On the left side of the crown was a bun oh of black beaded ostrich feathers, snd on the right was a scarlet bird holding ifa its bill a spray of blackberries, which fell over the crown and mingled with the feathers on tbe opposite side. But it was hardly the. sort of thing to please a woman of quiet taste, being too strlk ing, though artistic and pretty. In connection with antamn head coverings, it should be said that the dressing of the hair will remain simple, with smsll colls snd braiding at tbe back, and left over the forehead, as it ought to be, to suit tbe face of the wearer. It is a long time since there wss sny monstrosity In women's hair for men to rail at, and long may it remain so.

The present styles are classical, adaptable and pretty oxi rotJTHrcL bbisb. Of whose plans for a highly fashionable wed ding I happen to be cognisant, will wear her hair braided la one close and rather smooth surface all over ber head, her axnple tresses being completely woven In by a deft srtist. She hss gone through with several hair rehearsals, as tbey might be called, and regards the result as satisfactory. The veil will be fastened at the back, so that it will cover hardly any of tbe unique coiffure. Tbe color of her hair is a bright, uncompromising red, snd she is proud of It.

She will we- white satin dress, of tbe material of which It need only be said that it cost S24 a yard. This Is being made up sleeveless, because the girl knows she 'has perfect arms, snd high in the neck, because there are conspicuous bones and eords thereabouts. The train Is long and narrow, the draperies only heaped np a trifle at the hipe and rear, tbe corsage glove- fitting- and plain, the trimming fine lace, and tbe general effect extremely rich and tasteful. She will carry no bouquet, and no Bowers will sppear on the occasion. This Is a personal freak, however, and not a general fash-toa.

and it abows how anxious she is to do something that will cause discussion in society. Flowers are by no means going out of style at weddings, and a new practice Is to florally decorate the bridal cake. In one Instance, tbe bridal couch is to be strewn with flowers. But the girl in question, like most brides nowadays, will keep the location of that particular conch a secret between herself and Its other occupant. She will hsve eight bridesmaids, si I clad in white satin dresses like her own in make-up.

but not so rich In texture; and their hair will be left flowing, which will do very well, seeing that they are all uuder seventeen. The bride herself is under eighteen, and very girlish In looks: hence tbe party will be quite Juvenile, for the bridegroom is only twenty- one; yet she is Just as exact in all ber plans for the wedding as though she was a crotchety old maid of forty. Her gloves must hsve nine buttons each, and no more; her stockings must be of acerlsln length to half an loch. and her corset, must be laced In a prescribed number of holes.

Two hundred people left the Grand Union for the city this morning, but before noon tbe empty rooms were filled again, for, though the tag-end of tbe season is approaching. visitors are still rushing here, and the place is aa lively as it was a month ago. A great great deal of the gayety of late has been mo nopolized by the children, who are not contented with their levees every evening, but must have their hops, fancy-dress balls and germ ans as well. There ae so many of tbem, and. on the whole, they are so pretty and bright, that when their little feet are flying over the floor they afford a charming sight.

The other night they bad a carnival at Congress Hall. The large ball-room was beau tifully decorated with flowers and vines, from which Chinese lanterns and silk flags hung; tbe floor was well canvased, and the band sat in full force on the platform. The little people flocked In In couples, and so perfect an imitation in dress and manners were they of their elders that one could fancy himself looking at the latter through the small end of an opera-glass. Many of the toilets worn by tiny girls were as rich in lace and embroidery as their mammas', and not a few of tbem.be it said with regret, wore the maternal ear-rings and necklaces, and to see tbe delicate ears of a lit tle child weighed down by big solitaires is HOT A PLEASING SPECTACLE. Fans were flirted snd flowers coquetted with in real orthodox fashion, and, when it eame to actual dancing, the wee ones far excelled their elders in grace and correctness.

One of the prettiest features of the evening was tbe "Pas de Fleurs," an intricate dance, in which twenty little girls took part, each one of them decorated with and carrying a different sort of flower. Pretty Adele Piquero was a bnnch of pink roses; little Stella Campbell a cluster of lilies of the valley; dainty Dolly Pollack was half smothered in purple pansies; Helen Scott a stem of sunflowers; wee Alice Strauss was covered with water-lilies snd buttercups, car nations, tuberoses snd geraniums were rivals iu beauty. In tbe figures of this picturesque danee the flowers were used with the prettiest effect possible, and. as tbey are the helf-slsters of children, they added to, instead of robbing by contrast, the fair faces of the little ones. Another dance more odd and amusing than pretty waa "The Chinese Fan," in which the children wore tbe costumes ot.

the flowery land, from the pig-tail 'down their backs to the little wooden shoes. There were lots of people to look on, among them Mr. snd Mrs, Cyrus Field. Mr. Field Is easily recognized by bis thin, angular figure, and shrewd, determined face.

Ha Is si ways stirring up some one or something, and when in social converse has tbe look of a man whose mind is on other things. Mrs. Field slways dresses quietly, but in exquisite taste. This evening she wore A CAMBO-COLOBKB SATIS Trimmed with cascades. of point lacs and clusters of artificial pesch blossoms.

Her Jewelry, of finely-cut cameos, were set in large pearls, with pearl pendants, and a fan, with ivory sticks and while satin top, was painted with peach blossoms. One of the most elegantly dressed women here is Mrs. Heverin, wife of wealthy Philadelphia lawyer, and ten years ago a great belle. Bh Is still a band some women. snd wears ber soft white balr rolled back over a cushion, wmcn becomes ner nark eyes snd tall figure.

The head clerk of the Grand Union Is my authority for saying that, except the Vanderbllta and Asters, she has the most valuable collection of diamonds here. At any rate, at all evening entertainments hertiead and throat and hands are glittering with them. Mrs. Heverin has been for years an Intimate friend of that favorite little actress Lotta, and hat been visiting her at Lake George this summer. There "Musette" has taken Robert Dale Owen's cottage right on the borders of the beautiful water, and filled It with her friends.

Among other guests she has enter tained, this en as mer are fifteen or twenty yoang ladles from different el lies, bright grls who bad not tbe means to spend the summer at a favorable resort. So Lotta brought them np into the green hills, and took them riding tn buck-boards, and rowing in canoes, and black berrying, and hathing, and gave them a regular good time. Talking of Lotto, never was there a more de ceptive little creature, for Instead of being the rollicking, frolicsome TWLKKLIKQ UTTU ATOM That we imagine her, off the stage she is tbe snort staid, demure, and reserved little woman you can conceive of, and the only time aha recalls her mimic self is when some ons tells a funny story. Among the recent arrivals at the United States Hotel Is Miss Clara Louise Kellogg. She Is accompanied by ber mother, whose ill-health has brought her here to consult her old family physician.

Tho prims-donna is looking all the better for her foreign tour, snd enjoys the. prospect of singing again in America. Her wardrobe furnished no end of food for gossip among the ladies of the hotel, who await her advent in tha dining-room three times day with interest. The last time I saw her she wore a dinner dress of pale pink crepe over a shimmering satin of the same shade. It aras a modiste's miracle In make, and looped np in various places by sprays of rose-buds varying in tint from pink white to a deep crimson.

All the draperies were edged with white lace, and the sleeves, which were slashed all the way down, had the points caught together with rose-buds in bows of lsce. In the morn Ing she baa been seen listening to tbe music on the veranda, dressed in a negligee of heavy white satin, with an entire over-garment of Irish point lace, fastened with huge knots of creamy satin ribbon, embroidered with pearls. Miss Adelaide Detchon. the actress, is also Bt th is hotel. Last win ter she plsyed st Wei-lack's for SlOu per week, ss she was expected to make a phenomenal success, but SHE DIDX'T BO IT.

Bo this season she is re-engaged st half the salary st the same theater. However, like a wise young woman, she laid something aside last year, and, it is said, invested in oil Wells, somewhere or other. She is very pretty, and on the kittenish order. She hss given one or two readings here with success, and wears effective Utile costumes, that make her look like a china figurine. Another aotress here is Rose Eytinge, who, 13 spite of her age, is the bsndsomest woman oa the American stage, except Mary Anderson.

Her matured bruuette beauty stands daylight better than the pink and white vbarm of other and younger actresses, and sbe gets herself op well, rather in the Spanish a yle.wlth plenty of lace, snd a stiletto In ker back balr. Some one told me that ahe met her daughter. Mrs. John T. Raymond (nee Courtney Barnes) here and cut her dead.

I fancy It must hsve been case of Greek met Greek, for there never were two pair of eyes more alike in color, sise and capability for flashing anger and contempt. At the Grand Union they had quite a aensa tion lately in the arrival of Miss Katie Stokes, tbe equestrienne, who was here with Coup's C)rcus lsst week. The young lady Is extremely pretty, dressed in brilliant style, oc cupied a fifty-dollar a day cottage, and had all the young men at her feet, metaphorically speaTlng. There waa considerable disgust and curdling of blue blood among the mothers snd sisters of the said youug men who eyed with HORROR A NP REPROACH The baskets of flowers and fruit continually sent to the table of the darling rider. Judge Milton Is made responsible for the remark Last "she is the prettiest woman at the Springs this year." eVproposof Judge Hilton, who seems to be oahn I present at Saratoga, one of the most ltyntful drives about here Is to Woodlawn, his residence, and the favorite retreat or Mrs.

a. TJ Stewart. The grounds cover over three kindred acres, cut through by smooth, winding roads, that afford a twelve-mile drive under tbe shade of vtately trees, and, as one uears the uonretendinK villa, they have some thing that money can buy, but not mnke, in a grand view of tbe Hudson Valley, the Adl KMsdacks and the Green Mountains of Ver mont. b.e Interior of the residence is rich and elegant in the extreme. The.

hangings that divide the rooms Instead of doors are peculiar snd beautiful, and were worked under the an spice of the Ladles' Art Decorative So ciety, which now supplies the most wealtny families In New York with ornamental work. Xiese hangings are pi dr artniatn pi nan with broad borders in Oriental colors, and the main space covered with embroideries, Jap anese In style, embracing storks, herons, wild grasses and vine tips, and wrought In metallic colors that make them stand out the some as epoussee work. Other parterres are of olive-colored plush. which, it must be confessed, looks rtber heavy, for summer, worked with beads snd autumn leaves. The furniture is mostly of teak and cherry-wood, in the Queen Anne style, massive and.

severe in outline, with lit tle carving, and all THE ORACE OF THE APARTMENTS Isderivrd from the beautiful statuary, fine paintings and costly vertu collected -from the different parts of the world. The dining-room is very handsomely fin ished off, and the immense sideboards display a superb collection oi cut glass, soua stiver and elegantly painted china, Tbe latter Is aid by people who have S3en them both to exceef in beauty the service Mrs. Hayes or dered for tbe White House. Joaquin Miller, I learn, Is coming out with some verses on the view from Judge Hilton's residence, and that reminds me to add that the poet of tbe Sierras Is keeping a boarding- house In Saratoga. An eagle transmigrated into a barn-yard fowll What next? The latest "kink" In Jewelry is the wish bone tbe identical kind of wish-bone we pulled In tbe days of our childhood, with mental invocation to fate.

Dealers in lancy goods are trying to work np the same sort of run for it as the horse-shoe hsd a little time ago. It is amusing to read in fashion Journals the directions for dressing the hair a la mode. There is no mode of coiffure now beyond what the TASTE OB FAXCT Of the wearer dictates. At tbe morning concert ot tbe United States yesterday your correspondent made it a point to look at tbe heads of the fair guests present, and, counting the styles, fonnd it less thsn forty-three, and i bat, while tbe majority of women dressed their hair low on the neck, a large number mostly middle-aged wore theirs high.

Braids take a great, snd curls a small, part in the coiffure, and only ladles with fine fore- beads wear their hair drswn back from the Two-thirds of the women are blondes, and of course frlszes and creped fronts are mow popular, for it seems to be an established rule ia the ethics of hair-dressing that light locks lose their beauty in smoothness. Ho ornaments are worn on the head in tbe shape of flowers and feathers, though In tbe even ing diamond flowers and stars are eommo enough. Talking of diamonds. If a man is blessed with a wife who torments him for these sparkling gems let him bring her to Saratoga, and ten to one, unless he is wealthy enough to buy her solitaires as big as pigeons' eggs. she will loss all desire for them, and even declare them vulgarly common.

They no longer indicate taste or refinement or extreme wealth, for the woman here without diamonds is conspicuous, and as a rule the bigger the stones the worse tha grammar. They are worn at all times and all occasions, snd one ignorant of the value of tbe gem would pronounce It cheap, so profusely Is it worn by all erasers of people. There is much more distinction now in sapphires, emeralds or rubles. "Cxxas." Laura-eat AMdewwer tha Coatlaeat. Reno (.) Gaxette.J Colonel Dan Murphy, of Hallecks Station.

The tricks ot fakirs are wonderful and, many. So thought an Ekqcibkb man np in Columbus one evening last week.after be had squandered ten cents In seeing a show which for. cheek aud audacity oa tbe part of its managers haa few equals. However, eome to think of it, tbe fun enjoyed by tbe experience waa well worth the price of admission. At a prominent corner on High street stood an old furniture-wagon, with both ends closed op by draw-curtalna.

On the front seat Of the wagon sat two men, one with a banjo and the other with a fiddle. mak ing music to attract a crowd. At the rear of the wagon was a dirty-faced, miser-, ably-dressed "blower," who announced. In i grand and lofty language, the wonderful curiosity to be seen on the Inside of tbe chariot. Tbe curiosity waa none other than a man alii-gator, captured a few-inonlhsasoou the bank of the Su Johns lit vcr.

It was soon evident that fresh water did not agree with tne man alligator, as he bcan to lose strength, and the Khyaiclans who were culled to examine him said be would die If be did not hsve a change. It occurred to his captors' that mud was jut what he wanted, and a box containing the article was supplied, and in it he was placed.

Fiually tbe man alligator began to kick and cry, "For God's sake, let meout or I'll die."
