You are learning of the latest and very best helps to perfect dressmaking and we are learning more of our- selves than ever before. Dressmakers’ Remarks. “It Is very evident by your display of dress Bools and these wonderfully ingenious accessories that one cannot select a spring dress better than mow and here." “What a relief It would be if your patrons and mine would only have thetr dresses pleked out ond made now, insiead of walting “til the rusi be- proxy I must give the Palais Royal credit for the Lest selectad stock of fine black goods and for least prices.” ES'The last remark gives us the text for to- day’s advertisement. Black Dress Goods. That one good black dress should be included in every woman's ward- ‘robe is no news—and it should be equally well known that the good black dress to be fashionable must be of the crepon family, and that the best of such for least prices are at the Palais Royal.

Count Alexarder Hadik of Buda-Pesth, who returned to this country a short time ago for a short visit, had hardly arrived here before many plans for his entertaiin- ment were arranged. Count Hadik ts very wealthy, and returns all compliments ex- t ed to him in a most charming manner. Last night in New York he gave a domino supper. There were about one hundred guests, including many unmarried and married men and women. Most of Count Hadik's acquaintances belong to the New- port cottage colony. The ball room was exquisitely decorated with oriental tapes- tries. Arranged around the large hall were twelve stalls constructed of tapestry. In, each stall was a table set with covers for eight persons. The menu was an elaborate one. The waiters were dressed in the cos- tumes of the servants of a rajah. It was a very late affair. The guests did not ar- rive until just before 1 o'clock, when sup- per was served. Later there was informal dancing. Count Hadik expects to return to Buda-Pesth within the next few days, in order to reach there by April 1, to be present at the exhibition which is to be held in celebration of Buda-Pesth’s one thousandth anniversary. After the exhibi- tion the count will return to this country in time for the Newport season. Essel aaa National Bank Circulation.

Commissioner of Pensiuns Lochren has informed Mrs. Belva A, Lockwood that her appeal from the action of the pension of- fice in requiring her to refund $23 in a cer- tain claim has heen allowed, and the money will be returned to her. Mrs. Lockwood had paid back the $23, aad then took the appeal. It was for the retaining of this fee, as- serted to have been illegally paid to her, that the report was circulated that she would be disbarred from practice before the pension office, but the action of the commissioner shows that there was noth- ing of an illegal character about the trans- action. ——— Arrested for Robbing Show Cases. Four show cases on 7th street have been robbed during the past few days, and to- day Detectives Boyd ard Helan arrested Vincent Jackson, alias Burnside, charged him w:th one of the robberies.

A meeting of about thirty or forty of the most prominent South Carolinians in Washington was held last night in the post-graduate ‘room of the Georgetown Law School for the purpose of forming a “South Carolina Society.” Several informal meetings had previously been held, at which the scope of the society had been agreed upon. At last night’s meeting the presiding offl- cer was Mr. J. J. Darlington and the secre- tary was Col. E. M. Rucker. - Those present unanimously agreed to or- ganize “The South Carolina Society of Washington, D, C.” A constitution was adopted. . The object of the society is to promote @ more intimate friendship between South Carolinians residing in Washington. Meet- ings will be held on the first Friday in each morth, and the annual meetings will take place on the 23d of May, the day on which South Carolina ratified the Consti- tution of the United States. The society will consist of active, honor- ary and visiting members. The active membership now enrolled is between thirty and forty. The South Carolina members of the Senate and House were elected honorary members of the society. At present the society will not have rooms, but as the membership increases it is the intention to turn the society into a club. At the future meetings everything will be done to increase the social pleasure of the members. Papers on South Carolina affairs will occasionally be read. In the clection of officers Mr. J. J. Dar- lington declined the place of president, ow- ing to private and business reasons. Gen. John B. Irwin of Lancaster was thereupon elccted president, and in taking the place spoke hopefully of the future of the or- ganization. The other officers elected were as fol- lows: First vice president, C. A. Douglas, now of Washington; second vice president, Col. John G. Capers; secretary, James M. Baker; treasurer, Chas. H. Brice. The executive committee was selected from the congressional districts of the state. as follows: First, Thos. F. Brant- ley; second, Benjamin Martin; third, J. J. Darlington; fourth, Col. E. M. Rucker; fifth, ex-Congressman J. J. Hemphill; sixth, oper; seventh, W. M. Aiken. The executive committee will pass upon the applicants for membership. we Beco retary is the assistant Mbrarian of tie Seu- ate, and can be seen there on any business relating to the society. —_—_.
