of The Hoc. ) Lenten lecture * In private
houses in Xew York City are In full swing.
Tor a series of seasons fashionable woaion ,
all draggled nnd fagged from exhausting
frivolities , have been Invited to ( It on tin-
onsy little catnp stools , in stuffy gas-lighted
parlors , and harken to the futile chlrrup-
Ings of sumo well-Intending 'eamlc on
medieval architecture , or coptlc civilization.
Tills Hprlng revolt baa appeared nil along
the line , nnd the women are crowding to
( Mrs. Trederlck VanderbllfB at $10 a head to
hear and vote upon the burning questions of
the hour.
There Is something very serious and nl-
tractive about these mornings with thtj
"Dreyfus Trial , " "Discussions of the War
with Spain , " "Are AVe or Are \Vo Xot
Heady for Colonization ? " "What the Hrltlsh
Are Doing In Africa. " etc. Those are tome
of the subjects under examination by the
lecturer , and so popular arc they that when
a ticket holder falls 111. or Is utiablo to at
tend , she can easily dispose of her card of
admission to a friend at a price that would
make a theater ticket speculator open ills

Mrs. Vandcrbllt's long drawing rooms are
open to the daylight , on lecture mornings
they nro decorated with pots of blooming
tulips , etc. , nnd Jf you don't arrive on time
for the beginning of the lecture you simply
nro not allowed In the rooms. The Iccturei

with ga > , Irresistible little shops on either
side in one booth not only were the most
cqul tte models In rreneh hata displayed , '
but a corps of expert trimmers , under a
well-known milliner , mould copy any one of
the raodelc while you waited. At another
booth skilled fingers wove ribbon * , spangles , ,
tulle , etc , Into the moat fetching topknoti
for the head. At another counter neckwear , '
stocks and novelties In collars were twisted
Into shape , and sened or pinned right on to
the customer's gonn it he wished. Thcr
was a lialrdreMlng booth , where you coulc
go right In and have trained hands crimp
and conVb your locks after the last mode
ttnd in a charming little motor baske
phaeton a man would , for a dime , give yoi
a ride on a cleared circle round the hal !
and for another fee teach you how to worl
the levers yourself.
Quite the most profitable booth In the
place , however , was a shoe parlor , presided
over by n half-dozen of the most fashionable
young men In society. Every stately sales
man was provided with a gorgeous spanglci
white satin slipper , and every woman win
entered and eaked for shoes was obliged to
pay a fee and submit to taking off her rlgb
rhoe and attempting to put her stocktngei
foot Into the slipper the salesman carried
If lu the opinion of all the other salesmen
the slipper was nn exact flt then she re
ceived , aa reward of possessing a charming
foot , n pair of the smartest new black satin
dancing shoes , tied together with broad blue
ribbons. If her foot proved too big , or too
broad , or too narrow to flt exactly , then she
TSS obliged to put a forfeit In the head
salesman's bank. In spite of the well-known
delicacy of the American woman's foot It
wa. ? at this booth that the greatest amoun' '
of merriment and money was earned , and
the men proved admirably conscientious
sticklers for enforcing the rules of their shoe
shop.

States.
'At the end of every lecture a vole Is taken
to test the effect of the argument set forth
but Mrs. Vandcrbllt's scheme has not proven
a bit more successful than that of Mrs
Oolrlcbs , who , with twenty congenial souls ,
drinks weekly drafts of knowledge , at the
fount of science. One week all the ambitious

The mid-Lent fairs have wrung the
pockets of the generous quite dry , since for
once the lady patronesses , Including Mr ? .
Astor , Mrs. Parsons , Mrs. 'Mills and a scare
of others , thought out a scheme for a
bazar that showed qulto superior Business
talent. The great mid-Lent sale , held In the
ground floor of a famous Fifth avenue cara

Lenten hour. There is to bo a great and
only match played off In the spring , and ono
ulgjit in every week the cohorts of society
gather to see Miss Post , Miss Vanderbllt.
Miss Morton and a dozen other sylphs go
whizzing round the Ice-bound arena between
the goal posts.
It is not , however , their really superb vel
vet and fur costumes and their agility with
thu sticks 'that ' at first glance Is the most
surprising point about the skaters , but It
Is their really monstrous hockey skates and
the itlmo they make on the elongated steel
runners. A slip of a girl , wltti a waist that
would fit between your thumbs and fore
fingers and a pair of Cinderella feet , goes
whizzing along the Ice on a pair of skates
I'early as long as her arm and curled up
Dutch fashion at the tip. They cost her a
half dozen dollars or more , and they cer
tainly look amazingly out of proportion to
Tier falry-llko extremities , but she wouldn't
wear any other , and no more would anyone
ono of the fashionable young women who
make the smallest pretense as skaters. They
scorn to clamp on their feet the cheap , short
club skate , and If you put on a pair of the
short fellows and try to take a girl In long
skates around the frozen floor you very soon
realize why hockey runners are worn.
The girl on the long , curly steel blades
eimply leaves jou , first feet , then yards ,
then rods behind , and she does tUls amaz
ing pace without a pound of extra lung pres
sure or strain on her muscles. Beside the
adaniago of swiftness , there IE something
very quaint and amusing In seeing a pretty
woman rush round and round on these enor
mous 'shining blades that bear about Hie
same relation to her feet that skees do to
the feet of a Norwegian Hercules. At any
rate , the long wretch skates ha\e made
hockey possible as a polite accomplishment
for tlio damsel who now considers It as
important to her life to tkato as to waltz
well.

Motor vehicles may arrive and bicycles
have their war , but society still clings to
the horse , nnd never before this winter has
so much riding been done In clubs and
classes In New York as ono sees during
Lent. Not at all content , however , in

I days and slopping through the park paths

Is just a little less difficult and less dan

are rules and regulations , time called and
fresh horses brought up , as in polo , with
eactly the same opportunities , in a very

.Mourning nnd Craveynrd
Occupied IIlii lAtc for Year * .
For years there lived on the west side , re
lates the Chicago Chronicle , a little woman
with "bright " , sharp eyes and an expressive
face. Her step was slow and her shoulders
bent , for she was long past the beauty of
youth and the glory of middle-aged woman
hood. Her small crepe bonnet was placed
on perfectly arranged hair. Her black gonn
was trimmed with bands of crepe and she
always wore a soft , black shawl thrown
loosely over her shoulders. She was never
seen alone , but always with her was a wee
girl , who called her "grandma. "
Few knew who the woman was or who
was the child or where they lived , but both
were known to all the prominent ministers
Dn the west side , as well as to the under
takers and funeral directors. For years

there was not a prominent funeral In that
end of town but the little woman and her
grandchild -were in attendance. If there
was really no choice In funerals they nt-
ended the one where their favorite minis-
cr prayed. Hut no matter who the dead
lad been or who the minister woa in charge ,
or what the weather , the little woman and
he child went to a funeral every day. Some

the child would mingle with the rest and
return to the city. That was all ; no display
of grief , no comments , but always that dig
nified silence nnd constant attendance. Some
people tried to learn why they went to fu
nerals and who they were , but they never
seemed to comprehend that there was any
thing unusual or mjsterious in their man
ner , so no ono ever found out.
Two weeks or so ago there was a large
funeral on the West Sldo that neither the
woman nor the child attended. The minis
ter missed them and thought there must be
a large funeral somewhere else. The fu
neral directors reserved the seats In the
| carriages , but the woman and child did not
| como to occupy them. The church janitor
j saved for the child a rose that had fallen
| from the casket , but she was not to be
found. Nor was she seen until last Wednes
day. She entered the church alone. Her

she wore a new feather and a flower In her
hat. 'Her ' rosy face looked thin and her
eyes were unusually dark and brilliant. The
minister said ns he shook hands with her :
"Where is your grandmother , my dear ? "
For a moment the child was silent. Then
she broke Into a torrent of weeping. "Grand
ma's dead , " she cried , "She died the night
we got home from the last funeral. "

JewelH CHOI ! to UXCCMII.
All along the line of the cotillion leading
tandem driving brotherhood a growing taste
for discreet ornamentation and even je'welei '
ornaments themselves is conspicuously ap
parent. The very acme of dlstlngulshei
taste with evening toilet Is to wear three
choice and perfect pearls as shirt buttons
A few years ago masculine superiority to the
wiles of gems was supposed to be demon
strated by the small , flat , white enaincllei
screws that were modestly useful In the
immaculate linen fronts ; now all such me :
as Elisha Dyer , the young Vanderbilts , etc.
display pearl studs -north many thousands
of dollars. The rule Is Ironclad to the
effect that oil the pearls must match ex
actly in size and color , and some pink , yel
low , white and even green pearl sets in
spire the women with openly expressed envy
Correctly dressed men -mourn subllmelj
with three ash pearls In their evening shirts
and emphaaUe their bereavement by stil
larger pearls in their cuff lluks. The pear
ttuds ore not accentuated by the aid of any
diamonds and the gems are held in what is
commonly known as erpsy settings. A size
able pear-shaped pink pearl is the last
word In good taste for an afternoon necktlo
pin , when such a pin Is worn at all.
In addition to his pearl stud * the club
man's Jewel casket now boasts a very ex
tensive assortment of rings. Fashionable
women go ringless until ready for their
evening toilets. Fashionable men wear
rings all day and plenty of them. The third
and fourth fingers of the left band in
many cases are stiff will ; Jeweled loops up
to the first joint. The hand used for the
cordial grasp is for that very reason never
decorated , save , perhaps , by a single small
hoop on the fourth digit.
Heretofore the bcrlngcd man gave his at
tention chiefly to cat's eyes , star sapphires
and such like comparatively qulot stones ;
now anything cut en cabochon is regarded
as good taste. It is easy to count rubles ,
turquoise , emeralds , opals and sapphires all
at once on the left hand of your next
neighbor at dinner. Diamonds alone are
barred , they are still left to the tender
mercies of the hotel clerk and the book
maker. Ilather more exclusively smart
than Jeweled rings is a gold hoop with a
flnc green Egyptian scarlb , or sacred carved
beetle , set swinging between prongs. These
are difficult to procure in perfect size and
color , especially as no man's scarlb IB seri
ously regarded unless It comes from a ring's
tomb and has a history. Young Henry Bar-
bey , for example , wears a treasure trove
taken from the head wrappings round tbc
body of RamcsuB II , and Elbildgo Gerry ,
Jr. , possesses a beautiful green beetle , said
to have once been the property of Cleopatra.
\f > v AVntulivH nnd Perfumes.
In tliedr nicely encouraged taste for orna
ment the Knickerbocker clubmen have ,
quite Independently of the London mode , set
their own fashion of wearing their ucucncs
slung around the neck by day. Either a
very strong and very fine dull gold chain
is used for this , else a hand braided , per
fectly round black eJlk cord , strung with
bendsomo antique guards at Intervals.
I3oth methods are decorative , while in the
evening the watch Is taken from the chain
nnd a gold stem , threg Inches long , topped
by a rlnglo round magnifying glass Is
hooked onto the ohtln's end and allowed to
hang free. It serves all the purposes of
the eighteenth century quizzing glaKs and
the men use It with all the languid grace
and Impudence at the opera and in the ball
