NEW Yoim , March 8. [ Correspond
ence of the BIE. ] It sometimes takes a
stranger to see Now York in its true
light. To most of us the features of city
lifo are common place and wo pass them
without noting. I am reminded of this
by the experience of a young man nowhere
hero on a visit , who received an invita
tion to attend ono of the monthly general -
* , oral meetings of a well-known club an
V organization that has a great prestige
for its literary tone. Once on a time
* its membership was exclusively literary
nnd artistic , but when the club fell upoii
„ evil days , and the Bohemians failed to
| t pay their duos , nnd debts accumulated ,
* , certain wealthy follows who yearned to
bo thought literary were admitted to-
V membership. Since then the com
mercial element has somewhat dom
inated its affairs , but there is
still a good flavor of brainwork -
work about the list of members. My
young .friend was naturally delighted
ut his opportunity to see how writers
and painters and other moro or less
noted men would appear in real lifo ,
nnd his anticipations were roused for a
time of mental inspiration. By 10
k " o'clock iu the evening tlio rooms were
< full of members and a sprinkling of
guests. The young man noted thut
there was no whisper of book talk , not
a word about writing of any kind ; but
there was a little about art , .incited by
tlio exhibition of several exceedingly
flno paintings. After a time a bounti
ful spread with much good liquors was
, oxpobod and euton , tlio chattering on
, ; , < business and commonplaces continuing.
Then came the entertainment , and the
"at lastl"
young man thought ,
The first entertainer was n Frenohy
looking man with a wretched voice who
sung a very bad satire an opera. Every
body has heard such ollorts sugges
tions of familiar airs rendered now in a
squeaking falsetto and now in a croak
ing bass. Then a man recited n Will
Carlton poem that everybody knew by
. . . heart from so often hearing it. Next a
" ' well-known tenor sung a song in really
good style , and the enjoyment was
doubtless genuine , for ho was enthusi
astically encored. A species of enter
tainment followed that has boon made
popular by little Josef Hofinan. A man
took possession of the piano and impro
vised pieces of themes given at random
by members of the audionco. It was a
wild and exciting exhibition of u com
poser's powers , and the young man
who hud boon growing moro
nnd moro disappointed , was dis
gusted. He was suttyciontly versed in
music to know that ttio faculty of im
provising is no indication of gonius.und
that it is a form of entertainment that
only a genius can make interesting. But
the climax was to come , An elderly
nontlounn was

thestnut by the minstrel show artists.
When unctously delivered it is toler
able. In this case the delivery was
anything but adequate , and when
the reciter had got about two-
thirds through the tangle , ai iLall wore
in great hopes that tlio agony would
soon bo over , the gentleman stopped ,
looked blank an instant and then exclaimed -
claimed : "Ah ? I got that wrong ? "
Ho began at the beginning while his
audience resigned itself to patient suf
fering. On ho went , growing more and
moro unsteady as he proceeded , and
when ho readied the point where ho
hud failed ho stumbled again and said :
"Really , gentlemen , you will luivo to
excuse mo , but it is bo long a time since
I recited this piece ? I'll get it right
this time ? " and horrible to relate ho jbo-
gun at the beginning and wandering
aimlessly and painfully .along finally
wound up amid a rattle of prcfunctory
applause. The young man's cup of sorrow
row was full , and ho loft the club witli i :
bad idea as to the chosen diversions o
men of talent add brains.
What are wo doing in Lent ? Well
the fashionable women are making re
ligious pretences , and not all of them
are false. For instance , I mpt Mrs.
Astor in the street leading a bootblack
with either hand. She was talking
earnestly with them , and i imagined
that she was getting information about
tlio manner of their lives. I know that
her recently deceased sister-in-law had ,
not long before death , requested her
husband to erect in her memory a homo
for bootblacks. She had already trivcn
money liberally for such an institution
for newsboys , nnd had ulso devoted con-
sidorublo time to that sort of philan-
throphy. But the bootblacks are not so
well provided for , ana I understand
that the proposed Aster Uomq for
them is to bo erected without
delay. Sleeping accommodations will
be provided for the little fellows , and
breakfasts will bo sold to thorn at a
nominal price. The problem witli tlio
ladies of the Astor family is how to give
money away in ways that will ronlly do
good. They dislike to encourage idle
ness or mendicancy , and yet they are
extremely desirous of helping people to
help themselves.
Less than a rod behind the good Mrs.
Afetor came along the naughty Jennie
Worrell. I do not say that Jonnlo has
been outright wicked , because- such an
absertlon would require particulars , but
she has for twenty-five years boon cur
iously vivacious. Perhaps the reader
has no recollection of the Worrell sis-
tors. Long before I over wont into a
theater they were exponents of giddy
burlosquound at the time of my own llrst
observation of them they wcro in the
heyday of their popularity. They were
three. Sophie was tlio most talented ,
and she is still oxtunt on the stngo as
the wife and co-performer of Gcorgo S.
Knight. Irene was the professional
beauty of the trio. Siio is now keeping
a boarding house for variety show folks.
Jonnlo was the liveliest und most ven
turesome. She hud spells of amusing
the puplio off the stage ns well as on ,
and at length she formed an attachment
for big Mike Murray , the richest and
handsomest professional gambler now
in Now York. What was
IlEOAUDED AS JIATIUMONV
between them lasted for many years ,
but along about 1SS2 it ceased , and
Jonnlo went to Europe with her
children , Murray was a figure nt
the opera , Iho theater , rnco-courso and
in the art galleries , for his tastes are
exquisite us his vocation Is bad. Jennie
is hero on a pleasure trip , She was
wearing excellent clothes , and she
looked as jolly as over , though too old
for a return to the old professional
friskiness of the burlesque.
Speaking of actresses , the public only

personal griefs which are often masked
by the mimic jolity of the stage. An
actress at a city theatre was engaged ,
the other night , in the performance of a
soubrette role. The part called for un
ceasing gayety of manner and frequent
laughter. The job was half done for
the night , and the recess between acts
was nearly over , when a telegram was
handed to her. She opened it , und read
the simple words , "Ho is dead. " Her
ugitatipn was intense but it was no time
for private sorrow. The prompter's
bell rang , the curtain wont up and the
commedionno skipped into view of the
audience as merry of asppct us boforo.
The message had dropped from her
nerveless hand at the wings , and a fol
low actor had picked it up. When the
girl came oil the scene he restored it to
her.

"Isn't it dreadful ? she asked.
"Lamentable indeed , " the man re
plied , sympathetically. "Who is it ? "
"My pet pug dog , Adolo. " And dur

masked her grief , and hud not even tlio
sympathy of that actor to sustain her
until the final full of the curtain.
DA3IK FASHION
is a heartless tyrant in this Paris
of America. Even the grave ib
not sacred from her contaminating
touch. A leading society woman loses a
husband , a parent or a child by death.
She weeps inordinately , refusing to be
comforted , and declares thut life is no
longer worth living , and faho will never
survive the Bhqck. If you are an inti
mate friend , with opportunities for ob-
bervation , you will notice that she suf
fers frequent shocks of hysteria , and is n
nervous wreck. Then the dressmaker
arrives to arrange for her mourning
outfit and presto , she will rise from
her lounge und bland patiently
and without faltering for un hour
while being measured and fitted by
the mod is to. And what is more
remarkable , bho finds self control suffi
ciently to insist that the garments bo
made up in the very latest Style , or she
will none of them. This presence of
mind , of course , is not observable in the
average woman , but among the ultra-
fushionublo booms to bo gaining in
strength. Fushion in mourning gur-
ments is more urbltrnry , too , than it
over has been , null there is a marked
inclination to closely copy the English.
This is chiefly noticeable in headgear.
For years , for instance , the long crape
veil has been brought over the boonet
and fastened straight across the top.
Now the Womun of extreme fashion de
mands it shall bo brought forward ,
gutherod in front , and fastened there
with a largo crupo robOtto giving the
impression of u black fan spreading
over the lop of the head. Other inno
vations uro gaining headway in the
matter of somber decoration , nnd the
only excuse is thut ' "It's English , you
know. " The figure of Denth will doubt-
jess carry a scythe of English munufuc-
turo in time. .

( amount of talk. Shq was a widow , Mrs.
Hicks , when she married Thomas Lord ,
a venerable and respected gentleman ,
who was very wealthy and considered
beyond the thought of matrimony.
When ho died he loft her in an envia
ble state , so fur as wordly possessions
are concerned. Her millions were well
invested , and she was shrewd enough
to manage them herself. In her beauti
ful residence , in Washington square ,
she has since lived like a queen , and
has enjoyed lifo without a thought of
the expense. Her parlors are gor
geously fitted up and contain some of
the costliest bric-a-brac to bo found in
the metropolis. A curious fculuro
among the pictures is the collection of
portraits' of European princes and no
bles. Qucon Victoria and the entire
English royal family , and the various
members of the ruling family of the
Gorman empire , are included in it. In
the back parlor is a lifo-sizo oil portrait
of herself , as she was in her younger
daps. It portrays a handsome and fas
cinating brunette.
Up stairs Mrs. Lord has her business
otllco , and this title is by no means
used in tlio way of jost. She has her
big desk and revolving chair. The
pigeon holes nro full of letters and
papers relating to her business affairs.
The management of a vast estate is no
fool's job , and Mrs. Lord has demon
strated her ability to do it well. The
walls are hung with maps of hoi-
landed property , nnd to thorn she re
fers when tenants make complaints or
demands for repairs. She has the details -
tails of every piece of property she
owns at her fingers' ends , and Knows
the condition it is In , its market value ,
and the return it ought to bring to her.
While pursuing to the extreme limit
society's round of pleasure , she finds
time to devote several hours out of each
twenty-four to her olllce. Her judgment
in the mutter of locks und bonds is said
to bo good , and she Eeldom loses in any
speculation. The actual amount of her
fortune is not generally known ; but ,
judging from the amount &he spends
annually , her income must Do enormous.
The most "exclusive" members of
society in Now York have steadily rc-
fuhed to recognize Mrs. Lord , although
she has contrived to win over to her
ranks many that at iirst held aloof ,
Her acquaintance is very largo , and , as
is natural with a person of her wealth ,
she wields considerable power over
many influential persons. Througi )
these she has us fur as possible brought
to boar a houvy pressure upon society
generally. At her last grand reception
there wore present such persons
ns Mrp. Colonel Fred Grant ,
Mrs. J. W. Drexel , General and
Mrs. Schoflpld , Governor Green of
Now Jersey , und Mrs. Green , the duke
of Newcastle , the Austrian minister and
the Countes ICbtorhagn , She was nf > -
sistcd in receiving the guests by Mrs.
Cvrus W. Fi9ld , jr. , and Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland. This nllair was
the ono that occasioned a widely pub
lished dispatch to the effect that a
crowd of unseemly characters entered
the house without invitation , demol
ished the free luncheon and misbehaved
grossly. The htpso was beautifully
decorated for the octa > lon , there were
two famous bands present , the costumes
were magnificent and tlio luncheon ono
of Delmonico's best. Mrs. Lord wore a
famous $250,000 collarette of diamonds ,
which she produces on special occasions ,
when she wants to bhino with par
ticular lustre. At the Chines minister's
Now Year party in Washington , a short
time ago , she outihona all the , other
women in her display flf.dinmonds. Besides -
