"It is a wonderful story," says the
publisher to the new editor, whose
manuscript had just been accepted,
"but you have failed on one important
feature. You do not describe the way
the heroine was dressed when the hero
first met her. You'd better write in a
paragraph about her clothes, but try
to avoid the conventional."
The ingenious author, knowing the
sameness of costume descriptions in
the best sellers, and also knowing how
to make an appeal to the feminine
heart, wrote:
"Heloise floated toward him garbed
in a $600 dress, a $250 hat, with a
$98.7p mantilla over a $375 lace coat."

Passing of the Hostess.
The decay of the fine art of enter
taining Is much bemoaned by a Lon
don paper. Once no woman would
think of entertaining at any place but
in her own home. Now she goes to a
restaurant to save the trouble in the
home. Moreover, there was a time
when the hostess prided herself on
her own conversational powers and
upon her ability to draw out hei
guests, who were generally chosen
with regard to some ability in this di
rection. Now nobody talks, but some
body sings or plays and the concert
or rhetorical entertainment has taken
the place of brilliant conversation.
