[Harper's Bazar.) A ladies’ luncheon may be said to be the pre- Sent luxurious daughter of the old-fashioned wilting party. When the Pilgrim Fathers west tan their work, the Pilgrim Mothers met in the afternoon to quilt and to chat, and Goubticss to taste of some excellent cates. Tre men al leave their homes nowadays early, lunch down town, and dine at seven, so the feminine portion of the community, left thus alone, desiring to meet, have hit ‘upon the ladies’ lureh, quite the most luxurious outcrop Of the modern Augustan era. Kound tables, holding twenty-eight, at which the company seated Can see each other, and “talk across,” have been hastily improvised this winter.

Eggs and Cards. {Boston Transcript } | Easter ts 20 iate this year that by the ume | the holidey really comes everybody will bave a , score or two of cards aud a dozen eggs walling to besent away, and the day before the feast will be unpleasantly busy for the postman and theexpressman. The most beautiful cards are of course thore which are baad painted, and | there Is no end to the variety of Lheve, and no two houses show the same designs. All of the symbolical dowers are used, and all the early | blossoms are pressed into the service, and the | mottoes range from scriptara: quotations to | “Easter Goth bring the buds of spring,” and | the beautifully non-committal “aster Greet. | ing,” which leaves the recipient tn doubt as to whether the sender means | plety or good-fellowship. Rather newer than | the hand-painted cards are tue designs worked cnealin and fastened within a folding cover by a cord and chenille tassel. These pteces of embroidery are executed partly tn Holbein and partly in Kensington stitch, the former being Uscd ior the motioes aud Borders, the latter | for the group of flowers which appears on the right hand side of the bit Gr satin. The Tound 1s of Old gold, violet or dark green, the st being tbe prettiest; the lettering and bor- gers usuaily Contrast with il, and the flowers abd jeayes are worked in their appropriate colors, Panel-shaped pieces of satin are dee- crated elther with hand palnting or embrolde and tnay be used for bookmarks or for decor: ton, and among these are some with grounds of sliver-gray aod Mly-of-the-valley “decora- tions that are exceedingly prett . De la Rue’s Easter cards are nearly ail very ecclesiastical this year, and Doth in color au ih design give pleasing evidence of not Chrisunas or birthday cards with cr moi toes affixed. The angel of the resurrection watching at the door of the empty tomb and the saint at the door of the sepuichre are re peated over and over again, and tne cards upon Which they are limped are mounted tu fanciral borders of pale green, pink or blue enriched with gilt scroll work, or left untramed as one pleases. There are very Mtue cards, upo: which slender ecclestastical crosses or rust! crosses ure eet In borders of ivy or flowers, and the price of these 1s _ wonderfully low conslaering that they are English, and there are iittle German cards with em- bossed flowers and frutis, and saucy urchins jaying all kinds of pranks with eggs; and, fastiy, tuere are the Prang cards... The largest of these represents a @ove soaring upwards with wide-spread wings, having siready flown high above tue raindow, which, faintly visible in the lower right-Land corner, gives the only touch of bright coloring to the Soft grays of tne | card. The Dack represents a Japanese plant | spripgipg upward from a vase, and a white iripge Js set arcund the edge. This ts the most expensive of the American cards, for Its prico | isa dollar, while doubie ones in other styles | cost but half or a quarter of thac sum. ‘Tne prettlest of these is a set of two, one repre- senting white pansies aid a brown butterily, the other cxtstts and a yellow butterily The “backs of thes | cards are two shades of brown aid represent passion flowevs and a butterfly, Other double cards are mage bj Joining the pretty egg-hunter designs, one Tepresenting # little giri who has just discov- ered an egg while working in her llitle gat- dep; the onher, a boy Who basa whole basket | ofeggs. The bucks of these cards are, a3 tue impertinent boarder satd about the custar “evg-y,”" for what with four big eges market “Huster,” and a bigger eyg marked “5 Remembrance,” and a dozen and a biue eggs (ach bearing a letter of the Inserlp- | y” there 13 net | room for much el3e in the design, There are | some pretty flower panels a sii background and some good combinath ef rough crosses and garden tower ‘There is butone set of triptych designs, and these are of dull olive on back with the word “Easter” and one glit siar_ for illumin: tion, and have a cross with a ci 1 glory on | the ‘Wwo side panels. The picture within 13 a | yellow, white, or purple iris ona geound dia: ouaily divided between two colors, and u sides are of gold and olive, with inscriptions tn slender, straggiing letters of the most medic:- val Kind. ‘The pretttest egg card represents a chick who has taken a illy leaf for a salt, made @ boat of his eggshell, loaded 1t with forget-m nots and illies of the valley, aud is merrliy | making bis Way among the lily pads, The satin Easter egg with the downy chick within are put upin enamelled boxes; but tue humbler decorated eggs content themselves with ploin pasteboard. “There is nothing par- tlcularly new avout them, excopt the use of chenilié instead of the looped cord and tassel of last year, und the preference for ‘lowers over | landscapes or symbolical desigus 1s very marked. The chocolate aud sugar eggs have grown a little bigger, which 1s all the petter, | inasmuch as they are to be filled with goodies, and they are packed tn rough dark hamper3 instead of straw baskets, Over-fastidious per- Sos have these hampers gilt or cbonized, but te dark wood 1s really the prettiest, and with its filling of straw 1s as realistic as any one need desire.

Prom Bodegas the party was composed of two Swiss mountalneers—the cousing Car- rel, of Val Tournanuche—Mr. Perring, some muleteers and their teams. About two tons welght of the most portable and most con- densed provisions went out for their use, and irrespective of the things which were bought already tinned, more than 2,0¢0 tins were gol- dered down. When they reached the SUMMIT OF CHIMBORAZO, on the 3d of January, after a most arduous climb, they found the wind blowing at the rate Of Hity miles an hour from the northeast, and driving tie suow before it. With extreme dliti- culty & reading of the mercurial barometer was efected. ‘The mercury fell to 14.1 inches with atemperature Of 21 degrees, Fab, This belog Worked eut, in comparison with ‘a nearly sim- ulfaneous observation at Guayaquil, gave 20,615 Teel for the height ot Chimboraza,’ ‘They began the descent at 2 minutes past 5, with rcely an hour and a quarter of daylight, and ed thelr camp (about 17,400 feet above the ea level) about 9 p.m., having been out nearly 5 bours, and on foot the who.e time. Passing from an extinct to an active volcano, Mr. Whyimper next gave an account of his Journey te the crater of Cotopaxl. Observing with the telescope, during an enforced stay at Machachi, that much less smoke or vapor was 8! off at night than by day, he resolved, it Possibie, to pass anighton the summit. Oa Ue Isth of February the party got to the edge Of the crater, having passed almost the whole way from thelr camp, at the helghtof 15,000 icet, to the foot of the final cone over snow, and ‘Uhn over ash mixed with tee. The final cone Wag the steepest part of the ascent, and on their side presented an angie of 36 degrees. When they reached the crater vast quantities of smoke and vapor WERE BOILING UP, and they could only see portions of the opposite side at intervals, and tne bottom not at all. ‘Their tent was pitched 250 feet trom the edge of the crater, and during a violent squall the In- dia-rubber floor of the tent was found to be on the point of meiting, a maximum thermometer showing a temperature of 11 degrees on one Side of the tent, and of but 50 degrees on the cther; in the middle tt was 72.5 degrees, Out side It was intenscly cold, anda tnermometer on the tent cord showed a minimum of 13 de- grees.

A New York letter to the Hartford Pin descriptive of opera behind the scenes tells this: Before the curtain rose on the second act Miss Cary appeared in thc traditional dress of Stebel—black velvet and tights. She joined our Ittle group at the gas man’s side. It isa good many years since I first had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the queen of American contraltos, After greeting me in her jovial, unaffected way she said: x “Do you know I'm half frozon in this ‘Stebel’s Gress?

Fact, absolute fact.” And Miss Cary forgot her discomfort to laugh heartily. ao chance to interview her was too gcod to be lost. “It is so that you intend leaving the stage after this season?” I asked.
