D— SRR : THE DAILY BEE: DECEMBER 6 1380. HONEY FOR THE LADIES. The stole collar has taken the place of the fur boa 8o long worn. The head of the bird-of paradise, mounted with tail and wing feathers, js used for trimming either bonnets or bats. The speclal features of this seasor’s styles are warmth and comfort. If people who can dress at all are not warm it must be theirown fault. A Philadelphia man has perfected a plan for bringing cobs out of the cel- lar without exertivg auy of his mus- cle. He makes his wife cart it ap. When declining an invitation, in * place of sending notice of regrets, it is boring town to perform the ceremony. As the the rite could only be perform- ed in Ledyard, the clergymen and con- tracting parties, with the witnesses, took lanterns and walked through_the woods just across the't>wn boundary line, where the marriage was per- formed.

She went once, just before we | were married, and seging a friend on the opposite side, nodded politely, | whereapon the auctiineer krocked down a patest cradle, and asked her where she wished it delivered.” | Beware of inflammeble combs! Al little daughter of a man in Portlaud, Me., while combinz her huir before a mrror the other day, brushed a gas jet with her bavd. In an instavt the celluloid comb wes in flames and the child's hand aud cheek were severely buraed. - Tha comb was consumed as quickly as a piece of paper wouid have been. Beaded trimmings are not so much in demand as last wicter, probably because they became £0 common that unless a novel idea or extraordinary beauty«f effect could be obtained the result did not pay for the cost. There are still beaded ‘‘seusations,” but they. are not obtained by use of the usual | fringes and passementarie. except | among persons to whom even the shops | possess the charm of novelty. | The Oolza muff is & must conven- | ient, stylich and dr: i arrange ment, = the double purpose of | muff and cule, and iutended to be made of silk, s:tin, plush or velvet. It is trimmed at the sides with lace, and ornsmented on the onteide with a large bow of satin ribbon. It may be made of gooda to match the cos- tume, wrsp or bonnei, or of au en tirely different matetial, as preferred. | Another pretty muff is of brown satin lined with satin sublime. The centre is shirred in very close ehir- rings, the satin forming full double ruffles at the ends. Under these ruf- fles are placed others cf Breton lace A knot of artificial flowers is placed at one end of the muff, and a flat, wide gold cord serves to suspend it around the neck. An old fogy exchange, talking about the slatternly homelife of our society girls, advises the young man of to-dsy ‘‘to see the girl he is court- ing, before breakfast.” Why bless our stupid old soul, they all do. See zer before breakfast? Hours before. Some of the boys never think starting home until they smell liver and bacon climbing up the hall stairs like a south wind blowing over & bank of violefs, stealing end giving odor. But the most of them say, with a fine sense of sarcasm, ‘“‘good night” about three o'clock in the morning. This gives the girl four hours or more in which 2o get ready for breakfast, and if she can't fix herself up in that time, she is a slow coach. “See her before breakfast,” indeed. Did you suppose the boys went away before nine o'clock. Among the very newest street cos- tumes are combinations of silk plush and wool on a solld, uniform color. “The skirt is of wool, trimmed with plush, the deep jacket of plush lined with silk or farmers’ satin, and the cap and muff which accompany the oostume of plush, also lined with farm- ers’ satin, andtrimmed with cords but not tassels. The substitute for those on the cap is pompous; upon the muff the cords are festooned and the ends ooncealed by bows of satin ribbons. The sidoes of these dainty little muffs are rufflad with the plush which is lined with the satin so that the edge shows the inner side of a brighter and more ehining fabric. These complete costumee of plush ana vicuagoa cloth or ribbad cashmere are well adspted * for afterncon receptions and general visiting porposes. There is no barque under the plush jacket, so they are pot too wsrm, and are made comfort- able for the street in the coldest weather by the addition ot a wrap or round cloak. A Connecticut couple were legally ‘married & few days ago in strict con- formity with the township map. They ured a marrisge lincense from the ty. lIowa's achool fund amounts to more then §3,500,000.

D.ifting around in quest of some- thing of interest to the yutlic, a Piits- burg Commercial Gazette reporter dropped into the Union depot of that city.

Seema to me that the profession is getting to know me, and whenever I see Lawrence Barrett get off the train I says, ‘How are you, Mr, Barrett ! and he turns around and recognizes me. Barrett is a good fare and pays double, 8o he don't for- get the hackmen. The last time that he was here I hauled him to the hotel and then to the theatre, and when he gotout hefelt in his pockets and found he hadn't & cent with him. I says, “All right, Mr. Barrett,” and he told me to call at the hotel the next day. I went around snd he gave me a gold piece. Barrett is gener- ous to us hackmen, aund al- ways has akind word or a joke to pass with us. He ls not like old Forrest, who is dead and gone. I hauled him down from the depot once, and my front axle brokeat the cornar of Grant street. I thooght «ld Forrest wounld kill me. He jumped out of the heck and stormed and raged and swore llke a mad-man. I tell you he was not a nice customer to handle. Alice Oates in her palmy days used to be a very dainty cusiomer.

Within the last few years, however, she has not been near 8o particular. She hss changed a great deal since those esrly days. Fermerly she would come dancing out o vivacious, sprightly way, that made her look very pretty; but now when she comes here she walks to my eack with her head down, 88 slow and demure as a priest.

A Theodore Tilton is a cranky sort of a fare, and never would eay much to me. I tried to draw him out two or three times when I have haulad him, but he would always tell me to mind my own business.

Quadruple elopements have broken ouat in North Carolina, Dean Close, of Carliele, who is 83 years of age, 1s about to be married to to Miss Hodgson, of Liverpool An Ohio girl sued aman for breach that she ought to pay him for not mar- rying her. A New York florist recently char- tered a car to eend a piece of decora- tive work to a Cleveland wedding. It was a bower of thatched straw, fifteen feet high, and studded with roses,and trimamed with wreaths. Shjah B. Cornell. a brother of der of Cornell University,and the fou {a widower more than 70 years old, | wae marriod last Wednesday at Ithaca, N. Y., to Mrs. Hicks Hilliker. The suprise in Ithaca, H. W. Foster, of the Cornell Uni- versity cliss of 1877, has just mar- ried Lyra H. Peck, of the Cornell class f 1879. She was a freshman when he was a jumior. “This is what comes of the co-education of the sexes.” “Why do not more of our young men get married?’ asks a recent writer. Whist! till we tell him. There isn't more than about one young man in ten who is worth marrying, and the girls are finding it out.—[New Haven Register. Itis no Iowger fashionable to have more than two bridesmaids, and the very “‘swell” have none at all, says a fashion authority. many young ladies are thus forever deprived of weariug fluffy white cos- tumes in public.—New Haven Regis- ter. Among the wedding prerents ra- ceived by a Philadelphia bride was a note from her fither's coun el, agree- ing to conduct her divoroo sui: free of charge. This maj not be appropriate, but it proves at lecat thatithere is one good-hearted lawyer. — Philadelphia Chronicle. Mr. James Bowen, seventy-one, and Miss Cassie Caesel, sixty-eight, were married in Washington the other day. Fifty years ago they were lov- ers, but the bride’s parauts broke up the engagement because they wore t o young. Fstber Time has removed that objection. Miss Linnte Sherman, daughter of the Gen. Sydney Sherman who shared with Gen. ficulton the honors of the battle of San Jacinto, has just been married in Texas to a former atate senator. Among the guests were Mrs. M. B. Lamar, widow of one of the presidents of the Texas republic, and E. W. Cave, President Sam Houston’s private secretary. A few days ago Levi James and Isabel Heaton were married in Colum- bus Junction, Iowa, against the wish- es of the groom’s mother. He being under age, the mother has had Ben- jamin Wainwright, the groom’s best man, arrested for perjury in swearing to the age of the groom, when the li- cense was procured. A German fashion now being rap- idly adopted by Americans is that of betrothal parties. They are given by the parents of the bridegroom-elect, who, with his fiancee,dressed in bridal attire, receives the guesta; congratu- lations are in order, and the whole formality of a wedding is gone through except the clergyman's share of it, which comes a few months later, when he is introduced into the scene. dyard town clerk, and in the even- ing called upon a ministerin a heigh- | began he came here to open the opera house I hauled him (romp:he dep?“:y and he Tsing some part in the -12- week. g19a day at home easily made;e0 s {4outhit tren.Address]True & Co.Portind,M that I have bauled, but these I have | Every time I have h-uled her | time I hauled him I looked a little | Exprees with me about my busiuess, aud gave He was a mighty good “Lucille Western was a strange hotel one night, and she told me tg wait and take her to the theater.
