Monday’s showing will be a revelation as to the onward strides in weaving and coloring of these dainty stuffs. The department is a bower of beauty with its wealth of exquisite new cotton fabrics, fresh from the looms of the home manufacturers and the hands of the artistic designers and printers across the water. “ The French Organdies and Mousselines seem}.to have caught myriads of flowers in their web-like formation; the fewest Irish Dimi- ties are prettier than ever; the Scotch Ginghams, the Printed Madras and the whole family of high-class cottons show more novelty and beauty than for several seasons past. Many of the modest ones follow closely in the footprints of the more aristocratic sorts—every one of them bright with the latest effects of loom worker and color printer.

A story of the week in society has creat- ed a most unpleasant sensation. At an evening reception given at one of the smartest homes here a guest felt ill and withdrew to the dressing room. Sweep- ing aside the wraps of fur and velvet ly- ing on the bed she threw herself across the foot of it, face down. Having remain- ed there about ten minutes she was roused from half sleep by the sound of some one moving about, and raising her head saw a fashionable woman of her acquaintance standing beside the dressing table. Before she could announce her presence she was startled and horrified by observing the other woman take from the pincushion and trays a number of valuable jeweled pins, the property of the hostess, and s%p them into a pocket in her bodice. Afraid to move, she resumed her former attitude among the wraps until the subject of her alarm had withdrawn. After a little re- flection the unhappy invalid, feeling worse than when she sought rest, found her hus- band and to him related the story. He im- mediately confided to the hostess what had occurred, and she, being a woman of wit, resolved on a prompt and unembarrassing way to recover her property. Standing ear the doorway to bid her friends good hight, the guilty visitor presently came to her. The hostess was admiring and affec- tionately toying with the lace on the cor- sage her guest. “Oh,” she said sudden- ly, making a dive into the satin pocket of the fashionable traitress’ bodice, “you are going off with my pins,” and she quickly and laughingly extracted her treasures. ‘Turning scarlet, the guilty one stai:mered, “Why, to be sure—took them to fasten my gloves,” and hurriedly departed. The Undecided Euchre Club held its reg- ular meeting Tuesday evening at the resi- dence of Miss Barbara Sauter, 11022 H street northeast. There was a full attend- ance and a very enjoyable evening spent. After several hours at cards the ladies’ first prize was won by Miss Jennie Dell, Miss Ella Browne securing secon’.

Efforts are being made to secure the at- tendance, at a meeting which is expected to be held in New York in a few days, of all the presidents or chief executive officers of the principal railroads in the Joint Traf- fic Association for the specific purpose of readjusting eastbound seaboard differen- tials. The proposed meeting will be simply a conferenece of the heads of the aozen system composing the Joint Traffic Asso- ciation, with the view of endeavoring to effect a general revision of the differentials now enjoyed by the lines terminating at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport News. Present indications point to a meeting about the i2th of this month, unless a post- ponement may be necessary. This is prob- able, for the reason that there does not ap- | pear to be a very enthusiastic desire on the part of the lines even to formally discuss the matter. The conference will deal with one of the most important subjects ever brought to the attention of the lines interested. The same question ef differentials at the vari- ous above mentioned points formed the basis of the agitation carried on last spring by the New York produce exchange, ana which resulted in an exhaustive and elab- orate investigation by the interstate com- merce commission.
