Tlio Bradley-Martins never do things tike other people, and tho fact that they should have sent cards to their acquaint' ances in New York city announcing the heads of game killed during one week at Halmacaan, Ih only another proof of their passion for notoriety. Anyone else might have referred to exceptionally good sport in a letter to a friend, but the idoa ot emitting printed cards can huvo suggested itself to none but those who desired them to leappear In the papers. I marvel much whether the list of tho "very fashionable peoplo in.ieed" which precedes the summing-up ot the game was also an emanation from the American laird's brain. Tho "very fashionable peoplo indeed" do not read bo particularly well, and aro by no means so impressive when one comes to scan the list. Craven, being u son in law, was there; Lord Chesterfield, a poor man, and Craven's great friend, who was at one time frequently being announced as engaged to certain Ameri can heiresses; then there was Lord Terenco Illackwood, whoso recent espousal of Misa Flora. Davis probably caused his presence, and tho houso party was completed by tho crowd ot no bodies generally to bo found at Halmacaan, on account of the spare bed rooms having to be tenanted, 1 pre sume, and lest, perchance, the two Earls should bo bored by the paucityof fellow men. I might mention, by the way, that tho bag wiib not at all ex traordinary as shooting goes nowadays, and in nowise warranted tho universal notoriety tho cards have uchieved. Still tho purpose was accomplished, mid that, after all, is the main thing. Town Topics. llnrtruff-Clrt't-iiiitiiii.

This is tho first time that Mr. Chat field-Taylor has served In this capacity, ami tho result of his elTortH Ih awaited with coiillilence by his numerous ad mirers. Mr. Chattleld-Tiiylor's llrsl step was a radical and, in view of the hard times, a popular ono. Heretofore, a Chlcngnuti deHlroiiH of attending the Charity Hall Iiiih been called upon to pnyIOfnra ticket as tlio saying goes in Prairie avenue, '-for self and dame." This jear, however, Mr. Chatfleld Taylor has decreed that tho "ten" shall admit tho holder of tho ticket, and two ladles Instead of one; which, as my friend Mr. Samuel Allortou truthfully observes, Is "giving every ent tho best of a show for IiIh white alley." I cannot too st i ougly endorse somo of the mild iikascH that Mr. C'hatlleld-Taylor has seen lit to promulgate with a view to the proper and do oroim government of the ball. Included In these is one order to the elFect that tho eating of cold pig's feet-a favorite Chicago delicacy -between the flgiues of square dauccH shall not bo permitted before ll:!l() p, tu ami another absolutely pro hibiting tlio wearing of a silk hand kei chief HtiilTod 'n the neck to protect the dancer's collar in tho heat of a wait. This last fashion has become so common in high Chicago society of re cent yems that Mr. Clntlleld-Taylor, 1 understand, felt compelled to put a stop to It. "If," as ho wisely sajs, "a chap wants to lie In stjlo all tho evening, lot him bring mi extra collar witli him; or, better still, lot the fellowH who perspire in tlio neck keep olFen the floor alto gether." - Town Topics.

What power fully wondrous magnifying glasses it is seen through! Hut why call it "society" -except as a drawing card? "Tho Crust of Society" is not society at all, but the brazen counterfeit of it, ami as consistently might brass be called gold. True, thero are just such women as Mrs. Eastlako Chapel and Mrs Ernestine Echo occasionally unmasked in real society; but they are promptly cast out, as Chicago and every other city is fro queut witness? How impossible for these human counterfeits to remain in the real strata, any more than spurious coin can remain in circulation! Society -tho real, pure thing, which, thank God, exists In this country is criminally libeled by these revolting plnjs- "Diplo macy," "Lady Windermere's Fan," "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," "A Woman of No Importance," mid similar importa tions. I would like to know what moral or purpose American society is bequeat ed by these shocking scciich mid sounds, which must be past belief in a general uudienco, for dopruvity has not yet at tained this goal on our soul.
