The calico party of the Young Ladies’ Mite Socicty Tuesday evening was a notable suceess, and it attracted as many visitors from the city us from the nearer localities of Kenwood and Hyde Park. The culico costumes of the ladies werchighly appreciated byall observers, particu- larly by those of the masculine gender, who saw therein 2 hint at the possibility of matrimony on the much-talked-of fncome of $G00 per year. Ono economical young bachelor—who, by the way, never spends less than $300 per year on drinks and eigars, with other Tuxuries in propor- tion—was heard making frequent inguiries ss to the cast of various tasteful dress patterns; and, on learning that many of them cost not over $7 or $8 for the material, he was seen casting in- numerabie sheep’s eyes at his various 2% if Tmentully cafculating which gne sl ored by his prefersuce. ‘were noon badly crushed and his matrirmonial aspi- ratfons rndely ahattored by the carcless remark of one of his fair charmers. “Yes,” she snid artlessly, **I got 30 yards of this pattern for $9, and it cost only $68 to make it ring sewizg-machine!” he exclaimed. ‘4 Sixty-eight dollars for just making a dresa!™ 35ell, you know, " ahe replicd apologetically, “thisisa calico party, and, of course, T Gidn't care to go to any great cxpense, 5o 1 bad it trimmed very plainly.™ g As the youny mup shcered off, ke was beard to mutter sometling about not wanting to cruiso in compuny with auy cralt whose flgfilr\ghl:ou more" seven times the hull, and jt's likely he has mate- rially changed his mind on thesabjeck of the cheappess of calico dresses.

Bostos, May 18.—Anna Dickivson's protest in the Sunday papers aguinst the critidsms of the press has dooe much to injure her in the estimation of unprejudiced people. Her suppo- sition that the critics were adverse to her with malice prepense, i8 singularly lucking in the good senso that we have been accustomed to es- sociate with Miss Dickiason. When she says, “#Jt was u foregone conclusion” with the New York scalpers that I was to fuil, and they were determined to make me seem to do so,” it seems like a very childish outburst of anger and disappointment. *Itis a pet theory,” she goes on, *with Mr. Winter, that nobody pot hred to the stage ever did, ever onght, or ever shonld succeed.
