BITS OF FEMININE GOSSIP.
Many ladles ofcallh in England have
taken to themselves one particular blossom ,
with which they arc always associated.
Lilies ot the vAlley share the love of the
beautiful count'ess 'of Warwick with no
other flower. A , very unique fcalure of this
lady's affection for lilies ot the valley Is
shown In the way they are traced In or
namenting her 'tllnlrig table. No elaborate
and complicated design Is traced and fol
lowed oul. but the flowerc , with their nat
ural leaves , are Just thrown carelessly upon
the table and allowed to fall where they
will.
will.Thcso
Thcso small and pale blossoms find a
strong contrast In the large and luxurious
carnation blooms known as Malmalpons that
so well become the young duchess of Marlborough -
borough , Very seldom Is this lady seen
wearing any other flower , lllenhelm , her
Woodstock palace , has special hot houses
for the culture of thcoo carnations exclu
sively for her own wear , nnd yet during the
season In town she has often lu rely upon
florists to help supply all she needs.
The countess ot Westmoreland Is known
for her love of gardenias. H must not l > 3
supposed , however , that any of these ladles
would not look at or think of other lovely
flowers In their season. For Instance , when
violets are shedding forth their delicate
fragrance nnd all the world la wearing them ,
allegiance to the acknowledged and recog
nized favorite Is not broken If the fashion
able flower of the moment Is carried for a
change.
Deep crimson roses are the best beloved
of n certain young and dark-haired countess ,
adding a rich brilliance to her appearance
that few other blooms could effect. Pink
carnations come Urst , again , In the choice
ot the duchess of Portland , and Innumer
able ladles are satisfied with no other
flower. The magnificent floral decorations
of Mrs. Goelet's dining table , when the
prince of Wales dined , at Wlmborno house on
a recent Sunday have been the subject ol
endless gosalp. Thu design was an unusual
one , carried out In orchids and odontoglos-
sumsfl , making a beautiful nnd most of-
fectlve picture. Everybody expects this
fashionable American hoatcss , whoso daugh
ter has Just "come out , " to take these deli
cately tinted orchids Into special favor for
her own wear.
It may not be generally known thai royal
etiquette forbids any royal pert-onago of
leaser degree to propose marriage to a female
sovereign. Accordingly It became ( necessary
that Queen Victoria should nk , Prince
Albert whether he would share her lot. For
a young woman thla was naturally an nwk-
wnrd and rather delicate duty , but the moat
trying ordeal was when the queen had to
make the announcement of her wedding to
the privy council. At ono time there was a
possibility thai the marriage would not take
place , owing to the desire of the queen
that she should not be married too early. In
1839 Prince Albert confessed thai ho came to
England with the Intention of telling his
royal sweetheart that If fthe could not then
make up her mind she must understand thai
ho could not wall for a decision as ho had
done al a former period , when Iho marriage
was first talked about. It was at Windsor ,
at a ball. that. Ihe , queen broached the sub-
Jecl , by giving Ihe prince certain flowers
from the boquet she carried , and her boy
lover , understanding the significance of the
gift , and being tightly buttoned up , from
waist to throat. In a green rifle uniform ,
made a cut In hU tunic Just above the
heart 'and put thoflowers , within It. The
next day the queen put the critical question ,
nnd the contract 'was sealed from that
moment. .
Since all the women's clubs have sprung
Into existence the experience of speaking ii
public has come to , many a woman's lot. To
most of the women It Is a painful experi
ence , but not half so discomforting as It Is
to their audiences. "Tho club woman Is a
queer species , " so.a . crabbed old bachelor
sajTi , and somq whr ) boast possession of the
badges of no fewer than eighteen organiza
tions must own that this Is true when It
cornea to speaking In public.
Few club women refuse to read a paper or
speak when their time comes. Neatly all of
them declare that they won't when appointed
to do so for the first time , and they all
say that they can't stand the nervous strain
ot addressing a number of their eex , who are
certain to be amused at their awkwardness
in manner and Inability to make themselves
heard , nut they always end by attempting
It. Nobody could safely assert such a thing
positively , but since the era of woman's ;
clubdom It Is pcssible that a great many
brilliant and original thoughts may have
been loot to a public ever craving new Ideas.
CouiitUra thousands have certainly been ut
tered that have never been heard by anybody
except the speaker horsclf. The trouble ! s
that club -women are afraid to speak to one
another about their oratorical shortcom
ings , and as a result they go on like thr
brook , forever , without Improving In their
delivery In the slightest degree. After a
woman breaks the Ice and reads a paper
once , that settles It. She Is el ways more
limn willing to do her share , as club women
modestly put It , after that , and she goes on
Indefinitely adding to the aggregate of mis-
cry thai the audiences have to endure.

A GOWN OF MOUSSEUNE DE S01E FROM HARPER'S BAZAR
Our fashion cut this week shows a most fascinating gown , designed by fleer of Paris
for Harper's Bazar. It la made of motmcllno de sola In mauve woven on white , and
trimmed with palo blue mou&jcllne and lace rullles. Two large rhlnestono buttons are
on the front of the waist. The hat , from Madame Carlicr , Is of white rice- straw , wltn
crown of ecru straw , and trimmed with three whlto feathers a Louis XV. buckle , and
a band ot black velvet. The paranol matches the gown , being of monocline de sole also.
Cashmere gowns are extremely fashlonaMo for the cool days , and a pretty idea for
ono of these costumes comes from Ernest Raudnltz of Paris. The model Is a gown of
brown cashmere , particularly noticeable for Its double skirt , having the- upper skirt
draped to fall In four points one In trait , one In the back , and one at either side. The
waist Is draped very gracefully , and relieved by a deep lace yoke , trimmed with band.j
of velvet put on In points. IA bertha of gauze , the color of the gown , extends over
the sleeves , which have a short high putt , and are nulte tight fitting.

One curious result of the Cuban War Is tha
complete revolution of the banana Industry ,
Thrco years ago one could feel reasonably
certain that a banana eoen In the United
Stalls was grown In Cuba. Now we do not get
a single bunch from the island. Cuba formerly
sent us over 2.000,000 bunches of the Hob
tropical fruit every season. The principal
firms engaged In the Importation of bananas
had great plniitatlons of thousands ot nor. a
In extent , and eastern Cuba was rapidly br-
comlng one lingo banana farm. In fact , thn
raising of bananaa had grown to be one of
CiilM's most Important Industries. Twenty
vessels were continually occupied lu carrying
the fruit to the I'nltod Stoles. During ISij
thu clop was not seriously artc-clrtl. but 1.1U
year banana traders found It Impnjslble to
load their ve flols In I'uba. During thn
soaunn a large part of the plantations was
destroyed , and now nothing grows where oiu'o
was the most fertile and highly productive
spot In Cuba.
The destruction of the banana planlatlniw
has Incidentally Involved the loss of con
siderable American capital , but the trade U-
? clf has not been allowed to languish , al
though It Is almost true that not a banana
comes out of Cuba today. The amount ot this
fruit usrd In America this season will bo
more than double what It was In the yew
before the Cuban war. Cuba , tin1 giv.it
banana nlser , hag disappeared from this line
nf work , but her plnco has been taken by
Jamaica , Porto Illco and the surrmmdlii ! '
Islands , Mexico nnd Central AniernM.
Native- * , blacks and American plnntois hava
gone Into the business In ( ill these place * ,
and the rrault Is that bananas nro now
cheaper than ever , and the supply Is Inrnn
rnough to inert the rapid Increase In demand.
This Inrroapp IIM been very leiuarkablc dur
ing the past few seasons. It Is probable that
this year between 15.000,000 and i'O.OOO.IIOd
bunches will tie brought Into this country.
Ot this amount , nearly one-halt comes by
wav of New Orleans , one-third by way of
New York , and the remainder through other
ports ,
TWENTY MILLION IUNANAS THIS YHMl.
It Is only within the past few years that
the handling of bananas 1ms been worthy
the name of a dlslncl trade. Previously It
was only a part of the fruit trade , and ,
like mail kinds ot fruit , DIP bannna w n
counted on as good for Its season. The
banana season was "on" when apples , ber
ries and other native fruits were "off. "
As tlmo went on , however , nnd greater
familiarity with the bnnani tnnght pcoplo
that It was the must excellent and adapta
ble of fruits , n steady demand grew up
which persists the year around. Physicians
took up the banana and recommended It
for Its healthful and nourishing qualities ,
and , altogether , the banana has come Into
lilgh favor. That l briefly why the people
ot the United States will eat this year some
20,000,000 bunches ot bananas , or roughly
one bunch averaging 200 bananas to every
family In the country. Aside from Us com
mercial Importance , the banana trade Is
Interesting for Its picturesque feature.
From the dark-luted Jamaican or Mexican
who cuts the stalks where they grow ,
through the colored roustabouts and whlto
liandlcrs who load and unload the vessels ,
the wholesale and retail dealers , to the
Greek and Italian puah-carl merchants who
sell the fruit upon our city streets , there U
a range of thrlfl and ehlftlcFisncssf and a
variety of humankind that It would be hard
to match In any other Industry.
The boats engaged In the banana trade
are properly coasting vessels , light of draft ,
o accommodate the shallow harbors of the
tropics , built for fair speed and great car
rying capacity. Most of them belong to the
llffcrent firms that Import the fruit , and
carry from 20,000 to SO.OOO bunches at each
rip. This meaiiB from 2,000.000 to 4 000,000
) ananaa In every cargo. The pcrHiaWo
nature of their load requires quick work In
oadlng and unloading these boats , and there
s no moro lively nr Interesting scene than
u banana vessel taking on or discharging
cargo.
At the llttlo West Indian ports where tha
bananas are loadrd there Is apt to \ > y the
greatett excitement during the day or two
while the vessel Is taking rn Ito cargo.
Carts ot the meet wonderful construction
come pouring In from the plantations , plied
high with the green fruit , fresh cut. These
carts are hauled by bony cattle or sullen
mules , and are driven by lazy blacks , who
loll upon their loads and swear lustily at
their learnt ) nad tit each other In the musi
cal tones of these coulhern Islands. Tha
air Is full of the cracking of whips rich
Spanish oaths and nn occasional Invigor
ating Anglo-Saxon Injunction to "look
Ively there. "
EVraUY BANANA IS COUNTED.
AB the heavy bunches of fruit go over the
ship's side they ere counted and packed
away In the- hold In lota of sevens , eights
or nlnos , according to the number of
'hangs , " thai is , the number of rows of
rult , on each ntulk. When the soa-jon Is al
U height , as It U Just now , there Is a
grand rush to get the fruit cci board , and
he work never subsides until Ihe vctwol U
filled to the hatches. Sometimes , however ,
hti boats have to coast along the shallow
ahoics to make up their loads , and then
h- . fruit la rifted out to themi in small lots
m log rafts bound together with vines nnd
