I COSTUMES AT THE RACES. TWO women who were at the races last Wednesday wre commenting on the various gowns and hats that were to be seen In the stand. Said one: "Last year the weather was so much warmer that some of the young womtn wore such lovely muslin dresses that I was able to pattern all my summer gowns from them. The smartest costumes I have noticed are those worn to-day. Especially those wtiite duck skirts with red cloth jackets.

The various styles of dresses are Infinite. What seems strange to me are the number of hats with that honeycomb roll around the crown, and the taffeta ribbons fhirrert on ropes. There Is hardly a stylish woman whose hat Is not trimmed that way with a bent quill placed Jauntily on somewhere. By the way. that reminds me that I heard a milliner tell a good story about one of her who had bought one of the hats of the English walking shape, with a quill, arrows the front.

After she had taken It home, she heard of one of htr society rivals ithi had bought one very similar in design. She came in the next day Ijsrging her hat-box from hercarrlage, and In an excited way said. 'Didn't I pay jtjii a high price for this hat? I thought when a customer paid such a price she got an exclusive pattern. There Is Mrs. Blank who has a hat almost the twin mine." the milliner had heard her out, she sa'id: 'Yes.

there are exclusive j. uterus; but when it comes to English walking shapes the market la full of them. If ypu pay a million of dollars for the rurpose of buying up the trademark on English walking shapes, I had much rather you would attend to it lhnn appoint me. I confess I can not make manufacturers buy machinery at.d ay 'just to get one customer something THE FASHIONABLE CAT. WHEX Barnes' cat kennel was described in this paper a few months ago, many readers were Inclined to think it was all a Ue.

because high-bred cats were not generally known in this part of the The aristocratic cat, however, is fast acquiring a supremacy in social circles. The very latest Innovation is to parade on the street with a cat dangling to a ribbon or a chain. The cat need not now be hid away In the attic, or put to sle on the rug before the fireplace, but in these days of the advanced woman tabby has a front seat. The dog is no longer to hay all of the delightful days. The Countess Brook in a certain Xew York paper thus describes the pioneer of the new cat.

Just as I got near her a dog running down the avenue startled the cats, and the chain of one of thorn slipped from her hands. True to its hereditary Instincts, the cat sought a high ground of vantage unci made a Jump jr the high window-sill of a house-. The owner was busy restraining the similar ardor cf her other pet.

to I stepped into the breach and aecu.vd the chain of the wanderer, and returned it to her. "There is no reason why thire should not be Just such a popular fashion set about cats. What could oe a prettier sight than a procession of ladies (all. course, both handsome and handsomely dressed) leading lovely cats decked with ribbons of gay colors and led by silken cords in colors to match either ithe ribbons or the costume of the owner? The cats will 'scon become accus-jtomed to walk demurely and sedately in public, and a striking element of jbeauty and plcturesqueness will be added to our all too plain and sordid letreets.

SEVERAL Louisville women happened to stop at a private hotel In New York City, where Hetty Green, the world's richest woman, boards when "she is in town looking after stocks. Said one of them: "I noticed a very plain-looking -woman seated at a table over In a corner by herself. Her hair was dusty gray, and hung down in wire from under a wofully old and dilapidated black flat, that had a scuttled front, with a black ribbon tied severely under her chin. She wore no collar, her waist was shiny and the seams had ripped in many places. The buttons down the front had succumbed to wear, as the waist, where not gaping, Was pinned up.

The sleeves were so tight and ehort that her hands protruded like red turkey claws. On her arm was hung her famous black portmanteau. She did not order a breakfast, but simply had the entire bill of fare placed before her. She ate with a knife and a spoon, as If she were Just starting to a fire. When she left the table, any spare crumbs or pieces of meat were wrapped In a napkin and placed in her satchel.

After seeing the poor-looking, old woman, asked the proprietor her name, I could scarcely believe my senses when I was told that she was the richest woman in America. Hetty Green. The proprietor explained that she stopped at his house because, whenever her name appeared on a hotel register, she was besieged. It is not true that she lives in the jxverty-stricken way often described, as this hotel Is one of the best. When she discovered that I was from Louisville, Mrs.

Green desired an acquaintance. She declared she liked Southerners, especiallly Ken-tuckians. She has a very brusque manner, coupled with self -assert ion. She began by saying: "I learned you were from Kentucky, and I thought would iruike your acquaintance. 1 am Hetty Green, of whom everyone has heord." "One thing about her is that on Sunday she makes no difference in her toilet, except she throws a black crochetted shawl over her shoulders, a mantle to serve to conceal her worn-out waist.

She seems to enjoy life, withal, and though she must be surely under a delusion that she will some day starve to death, she laughs and takes an Interest in all of the trivial affairs that interest other women."

Alcatraz Asphalt and Construction Company, of Baltimore, appears to be the lowest bidder for asphalt street construction to be let by the Board of Public. Works in the next day or two.

Their bid asphalt paving with concrete foundation per snnre of 100 feet was I1R.72. while' ttl- Barber "AsDhait Pavine ComDanv's bid was $19.44. and that of the Warren Scharf Paving Company, of Cincinnati, $22.33. This Includes the first grade of asphalt. Each company also made bids for curbing, guttering, and these will have to be figured out and placed on a letting sheet before the board will be prepared to take action and say which Is the lowest.

However, there Is such a wide difference in "the bids on the asphalt and concrete work as to make It almost certain that the South western Alcatraz Asphalt and Paving Company will get the contract if the law has been fully complied. with. There were five bidders In all. Two of the bids, however, were marked Informal by President Grainger, no Treasurer's receipt for money deposited to se cure the city against failure to comply with the contract being inclosed with the bids. There are seven squares of asphalt street to be constructed in all.

The contract, will probably be awarded this week. City officials and employes left their desks at noon yesterday.

Phelps could be elected next year practically without opposition should he -Bee fit to run. Nothing Like This In Cuba.
