One of tho latest manifestations of tho "Trilby" craze is a "Trilby"
dinner. A New York contemporary says: "A clever and attractive
young actress living in New York recently received an invitation to
impersonate at such a dinner Du Maimer's heroine, the Latin
quarter undel of Irish extraction with the largo heart and beautiful
feet. This was tho invitation which sho received: 'Dear Miss D.:
Wo have decided to celebrate tho New Year by giving a Trilby din
ner, and we fee I that it will add very much to the goneralTrilbyness
of the occasion if you will condescend to bo our Trilby. Bo v.iso
and accept this, for you will have a gay old time. The festive Teddy
will stand in tho shoes of Taffy, tho largo and lovablo only his
whiskers have not yet been permitted to reach Mioir naturally
luxuriant growth; little Jimmy will enact tho part of tho Laird, his
ruby beard boing, we think, thoroughly in keeping with tho charac
ter of with tho canny Scot, and Baldy tho beautiful, whom you will bo
simply charmed to meet, will bo Little Billee. Ho is young and rich,
so don your prettiest, and ho hails from the city of pork and beans,
so sharpen up that sprightly wit of yours and como propared for
conquest Wo shall expect you without fail, bo don't trouble to
write. Your friends and servants, Taffy, the Laird, Little Billee,
who doesn't know you but is dying to, ind tho Jerusalem Skylark.'
The dinner took place on New Year's night. Tho Laird was tho
host. He is an Englishman and a writer of farces. His wife ib tho
Jerusalem Skylark. A tlat on the East Bide took tho placo of tho
three Briton's studio in tho Place St. Anatolo des Arts. Taffy was
impersonated by the gentleman spoken of as Teddy, a man of im
Iosing appearance. Baldie. who was little Billeo for this occasion,
is a Boston young man of social importance in his native city. No
one was found desirious of appearing as Svengali. The dinner did
not take placo until 'J o clock, when everybody was hungry and on
