NEW YORK. March 6. The latest
shocking extravagance of a certain
prominent society woman is. being dis
cussed everywhere.
One hears whispers of it at private
dinners and open comment in hotel
corridors.
Even the usually unmoved Modishes
are aghast.
It seems that this attractive woman
wore a wonderful evening gown of
hand-made lace of the most exquisite
i fineness at a famous ball at Sherry's
i not long ago, and, by her obviously In
tentional carelessness, utterly ruined
'It in less than an hour.
I The lace alone the hand-made
'flounce the damage to which is Irrep-
arable, cest two thousand dollars, and
' took many poor women and girls
working.into the night and at the low
est possible wages six months to com
plete. This is the chief burden of the chat
ter one hears on the subject.
The entire costume, including a su
perb boa, cost about five thousand dol
lars. The other women present agree that
its destruction was simply wicked.
I believe the wearer of the gown con
fided to a friend that she did not like
it after all her trouble that it was not
becoming and therefore she did not
care what became of it.
The train was extremely long, and,
as she did not gather it up at all -during
the dances, the inevitable hap
pened. What with all the hand-made lace
and embroidery on the new spring out
flfs, it will be a marvel if even the most
economical and modest of the Modishes
do not get a reputation for extrava
gance. The batistes, dimities and foulards
shown in advance of the season are
scarcely recognized under these modest
names, so literally submerged is the
material in its all-important trim
mings. For instance, a dimity of a delicate
cream color has so much lace of two
varieties appliqued upon it with the
dimity cut out beneath that one only
sees an inch or two of, it at intervals;
and yet it is described as a "simple lit
tle dimity" by the saleswoman, and is
"very reasonable" at two hundred dol
lars. I still see such amusing examples of
handsome clothes indiscriminately
worn. . --
At the Waldorf-Astoria that Mecca
for the rich unknown who want to
know but cannot -wait a woman guest
sat all Sunday forenoon entertaining
men callers In an unmistakably even
ing waist.
It was one of the thin nets with a
lace edge, with the flesh showing
through from neck to shoulders.
There was a suggestion of a sleeve
of the same diaphanous material, but
it terminated in flounces and ruchings
a bit above the elbow, leaving the arm
entirely bare.
Pale pink ribbons were caught across
the low bust in large rosettes at either
side, and were also festooned (no other
word exactly suits) over the arms. A
frill of lace fell from the ribbon across
the bust to the waist line.
A"wMe pearl collar adorned with dia
mond bars encircled her throat, ;tml
large diamonds blazed in her ears.
It sounds ridiculous, and is; yet I
saw her at half-past ten as did hun
dreds of others and she appeared
blissfully ignorant of the mild sensa
tion she was causing.
The very latest thing In the line of
hair ornaments for evening toilets are
the old-fashioned clusters of pearl
grapes and cherries and feather flow
ers, outlined petal by petal In tiny
pearls.
They are all very quaint and effect
ive. A ffw aigrettes are still shown, but
they are greatly modified from the high
affairs of a season or two ago.
The simple wreath or demi-wreath
of laurel or some other green leaf,
which Is favored by some of the young
er set, is usually most becoming.
Many of the young society girls of
New York are really marvels of taste
in dress.
"This taste Is usually an inheritance
the result of good breeding; and to it,
and not as many think to the size of
the pocketbook, must be attributed the
effect.
Appropriate gowns, let it be remem- ,
bered, cost no more than inappropriate
ones, and they yield much more satis- .
factory dividends. Lady Modish In

Nicholas Murray Butler, the new
president of Columbia university.
New York, is a very close, friend
of President .Roosevelt. When the
latterwas governor of New York
he always turned -a deferential ear
to Professor Butler's sound politi
cal advice. President Roosevelt
has not forgotten this and it is
whispered that a cabinet portfolio
has already been offered to Presi
dent Butler.

HOW HE HIT IT.
Occasionally a man and woman will
arrive, at the same conclusion, but by
widely different processes of reasoning.
This was illustrated last "week in the
experience of a young surburban ma
tron who had arranged to give some
girls a luncheon at a downtown restau
rant. They were former school chums,
and she was very anxious that her
husband should meet them. As he was
leaving to come down town in the
morning she asked him to step in and
order the luncheon. "But, for good
ness sake. Will," she said, "don't order
some of those vast steaks with
fried potatoes and things, that you
always call for when I am with you."
The husband promised to be careful
and departed. His wife almost im
mediately regretted leaving such an
important matter in his charge, but
she simply could not get down town
that morning, and so hoped for the
best. jS

wailing-, and after introductions the
hostess ordered luncheon to be served.
She was dreadfully anxious for fear
Will had ordered some of the massive
dishes to which she had referred in
the morning'. Great was her joy to
find, as the courses came in that every
thing: was of the dainties and most
delicious character. It could not pos
sibly be, she thought, that her hus
band had displayed such wonderful
taste, but a chance remark he dropped
showed that in very truth the menu
was of his selection. The little en
tertainment was a decided success and
the wife was very proud of her hus
band's judgment until he arrived
home that evening. At dinner she
complimented him on having- ordered
so many charming dishes. The man
of exquisite taste growled:
"That what you call charming?
Well I'll tell you how I made my se
lections. I just looked over the bill
and ordered everything1 that I hate
most. Charming nothing!" The Chi
cago Chronicle. "

NOT USUALLY THAT WAY.
A very small girl, out on the East
Side, was given her first plate of raw
oysters at supper the other night. She
swallowed one and then pushed the
plate away from her with an expres
sion of disgust.
"What's the matter, Katy?" asked
her mother. "Don't you like your oys
ters?" "No, me don't," answered Katy with
a grimace. "Him was too fresh."
