CpST OF BEING IN STYLE.
Practically No Limit to the Expen
diture of Fashionable Wom
en for Dress.
Tliesums squandered on clothes
bj the very rich are astonishing,
says Rene Racin', in the Philadel
phia Saturday Evening Post. It
is true that even the multi-mil
lionaire, though his apparel comes
to a pretty penny, is obliged to be
severely simple in his own attire,
but in the costuming of his wife
and daughters he has an opportu
nity to open wide his overflowing
purse. For the cost of women's
raiment has practically no limit,
and a lady of highest fashion can
hardly be comfortable on a dress
allowance of less than $20,000 ;l
year. If her husband is liberal he
may give her $25,000 without fear
that he is encouraging her to in
dulge an undue extravagance.
In order to be comfortable a
woman of fashion ought to have
at least 00 frocks a year. Five of
these should be tailor-made suits
for street wear. There should bo
15 evening gowns, ten dining
gowns and six “little dresses,” as
they are called, of soft wools and
silks, for informal afternoons. To
these should be added 15 summer
dresses of tine French muslins,
with much lace and embroidery
and half a dozen tailor-made linen
suits, also for warm weather.
The street suits cost from $125
to $250 apiece. They are severely
plain, and that is why they are so
expensive, the glove-like tit being
all important. The finest tailor
ing is done on the simplest gowns,
and it is for this reason that the
linen suits above mentioned come
to $75 or $100 each. A fashion
able dressmaker will charge from
$150 to $750 for the evening and
dinner gowns, $85 to $150 for the
“little dresses,” and $100 to $500
for the summer muslins, with
their dainty frills and furbelows.
Of “tea gowns,” in which my
lady may receive her very inti
mate f"'(*nds on occasions, she
will have three or four frosting
from ffi() to $300, adorned with
much lace, and one of them
trimmed with fur. perhaps), and
these will be supplemented by an
equal number of wrappers, of soft
silks and baptistes (faslronably
known as “negligees”), equally ex
pensive and trimmed with valen
cicnnes.
BUTTERFLIES FOR THE SICK
A Woman's Novel Innovation on the
Plan of Sending Flowers
to Hospitals.
Many people have sent flowers
from their summer gardens to tlie
sick in the hospitals, but perhaps
only one person has had the idea
of sending a box of butterflies
along with the flowers. The wont
an who had the idea tells enthu
siastically of how it came to lmr,
says the New York Sun.
“I was gathering flowers for my
hospital box on a day when my
garden seemed to be filled with
butterflies. As 1 picked the flow
ers I often stopped in my work to
watch them.
“As 1 stood holding a big bunch
of sweetpeas, a very gorgeous but
terfly came hovering near it. I
got so much pleasure watching
him that it suddenly flashed into
my mind that the sick children
would like to watch him. too. So
I caught him carefully so as not to
hurt his wings, and went indoors
for a box to put him in. I realized
that a whole ward of children
could not watch one butterfly, so
I caught a lot of them.
“The nurses told me that the
children found great delight in
watching the butterflies float
about from one bunch of flowers
to another.”
When Gamblers buould Quit.
The London Sketch says a pro
fessional betting man should go
out of business when .“0 years old.
After that age a man makes mis
takes. Between 50 and 05 he
stands to lose 75 per cent, of what
he accumulated before 50.
WHEN MEN HAND OUT TIP3
Nothing Is Too Good When They Are
with Ladies at the
Table.
Boarding at one of the hotels ig
a woman who takes an interest in
everything. Coming down to
breakfast one morning, relates
the Chicago Inter Ocean, she dis
covered that her waiter had been
replaced by a new man. She asked
for the old man.
1 ‘*He’s been transferred to the
buffet,” was the reply.
I Seeing the old waiter in the cor
ridor the next week she sent for
him.
“I suppose you like* being down
stairs much better,” she said, “be
cause you have men to wait upon.”
“I don’t like it at all, ma’am,” he
replied.
“You don’t like it! How can
that lie, with none but the tip giv
ing sex to serve?”
“It's this way, ma’am.” says Id*.
“Down there the men don’t give
tips of any amount, sometimes not
as much as women do.”
“But you told me some months
ago that they do,” interrupted this
socialogical investigator.
“That's when they are with la
dies. Then nothin’s too good, and
they are ready to pay handsomely
for the best possible service.
When they’re alone most of ’em
simply wants something good to
eat without unnecessary frills.
Some meals they tip moderately
and some they don’t.”
Only Natural.
“That candidate declares that
he desires only a single term of
office.”
“Of course.” answered Senator
Sorghum. “No one t hints of ask
ing for second helping of pudding
until after lie has had the first.”—
