Costames Worn by New York Ladies at Bvening Gatherings, Where the Line of Decency Shonld be Drawn, Bt New York World, The extremely decollete dresses worn by many ladies at the opera, balls, and elsowhero in socioty circles’ at evening gatherings this season have attracted uni- versal attention. While last year and the year preceding very decolleto dresses wero worn by somo ladies, they were the exception, and not almost’ the universal rule, as is the case this year. The sub- ject has formed a_topic of conversation at the clubs and elsewhere, and many and various have been the reasons assigned for the seemingly all prevalent fashion. The young married ladies are the most conspicuous in this matter of dross, or rather undress, and several who have oc- cupied prominent boxes at the Metropol- itan opera house during the season just closing, have attracted public notice from the unblushing din{;lny of natural, but generally concealed beauty. Last year low-necked dresses used to be held in place by shoulder straps, but this year theso have been discarded, and to the observer the arm straps seem entirely in- sufficiont and inadequate to hold the cor- sage, and there is a feeling of momentary oxpectation lest the entire bodice fall down. Several prominent society leaders were questioned yesterday regarding the rea- wons for this remarkable and indecent fashion and as to its probable results and tendencies. Owing to the fact that the fashion is 50 universal and : that their opinione would consequently reflect upon their associates and follows, they declined to give their names for publication. A middle-aged society and club man, who is well and widely known, and who is a regular attendant at the Delmouico balls, said, when questioned on the sub- Mail Steamers | 5t 1| were worn, the bosom, except in the case The Rhine,\Germany, Italy, Holland and Franced} Hamilton & Co., Oraha P.

Women with pretty necks and chests like to display them, and some a little more immodest uncover themselves as much as they dare. My explanation of this whole outery against decollete dresses is that the boxes in the new opera house, where the fash- ionable women sit, bring them nearer to and render them more easily seen by that portion of the audience which, while it may understand a Flatbush sociable, is not famaliar with the balls and parties of our distinctively fashionable set in the metropolis, where these dresses rarely ex- cite any comment even among the mascu- lino sex.” & *‘An equally prominent society woman said: *‘It is a subject I do not much care to discuss, but the whole question rests on whether woman is modest er immod- The fashions change in this respect every few years, and a year aftor dresses have been cut lower in Paris, they begin to cut them lower here, but as to where a lady shall draw the lines rests with her- self and herown ideasand feellings.

I know by personal experience when 1 have heard young men monico ball that the husbands and rela- tives of some of the ladies they discuss could have no possible ground for re- senting their imputations did they hear them. And yet 1 believe these ladies to be pure, good women otherwise, and, in the majority of cases, excellent wives and mothers. They do not stop to think how greatly, in yielding to an indulgence in a foolish fashion, they aid in lowering the moral tone of the community, It year, and I do not see where it will stop toms of the French directory. The dow- agers are the worst, I think, and there aro two or three conspicuous examples who display their charms bedecked with diamonds at opera, theatre, and ball, who ought, for the sake of public decen- oy, to be supprossed.” A fashionable dressmaker was asked regarding the matter, and sai “The fashios certainly this year for slightly, lower cut dresses than usual, but it is largely an individual matter, after all, Some of our moat ladylike and most de- mure-looking customers crder the lower cut dresses, especially if they have hand- and arms, The general rule is, in thecase of a debutante, to 80 cut an evening dress as to just sug. st the contour; for an older society irl we allow the bosom to be well de- finm‘l, and for a matron or chaperone there is no particular or decided limit.

There never was a time in the history of polite society when cold water was drank so freely or with such evident rel- ish as at the present day, from the sim- plo fact that the tumblers, jugs, trays, coolers, and tureons are so lovely that one drinks for mere pleasure of handling the precious glassware, “Your water-service is so elegant, pro- fessor, that the very sight of it seems to increase my thirst and capacity for the harmless nectar,” was the way in which a charming society belle passed compliment on the thin tumblers and charming little water jugs which a cultured host ot this city had purchased at considerable ex- pense in the city of Lyons a year or 8o ago. Notwithstanding there was a great denl of verbosity about the lady's re- marks, the writer feels justified in believ- ing ‘that the pleasant things she said were heartfelt, for the orystal was exquisite, and one might be tempted to consume a whole gallon of water for the sako of enjoying the prismatio effect produced every time the jug was handled. It was a swell dinner, made up of a dozen people, but the little group represented art, music, philanthropy, literature, law, philosophy, journalism, religioa, and society, and, as everybody was doing his oretticst, the glassware could not be fandled any more than necessity called for. The tumblers were low, engraved with exquisite figures of water nymphs and dolphinettes, and the glass was so very thin as to be scarcely perceptible between the lips, while the pressure of a finger would have crushed it to picces. It would be difficult to duplicate them in this country for less than £60 a dozen. No wonder that Lake Michi- gan should taste good sipped from a &5 glasa. The water bottles were individuale, demijohn in shape, and mounted on cir- cular mats of beveled mirror. They were heavy and hand.cut, the design being a star-hobnail, as the people in trade say. It is the choicest pattern used—very rare, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, and, although holding but little more than three glasses of water, they are worth $20 apiece. As thero was a bottle for each plate, besides the platters on which they were mounted and the single glas for the first course, the service could not have cost less than §324. Who wouldn't be temperate with such facilities for the proper appreciation of cold water? Water poured from a $20 hand.cut ewer or gulped out of a common tin dipper are entirely two difierent drinks, This is decidedly a cut-glass season,and though Jrare bits of china, like old wine or point lace, are never passe, silverware, however costly and sterling, has not the ghost of a show on the table or sideboard of theday. So there is nothing to do with a goblet and tray, in a flannel bag, and relegate it to the dust and cobwebs of the darkest corner of the top shelf in the pantry. The sacrifice is a cruel one to more than afew proud little house- wives, but fashion says, ‘‘everything, sil- ver and all things “high, must go,” and her dictates are invincible, The result is a gorgeous array of plain, cut, carved, and engraved crystal, glass-ware in all the colors of chromatics, unheard of de. signs in plain and decorated china, and never to be seen a dish, vase, cruet,bowl, basket, tureen, or standard ovar eight inches in height. Everything, froma butter patty to an epergne, is in flat re- lief, though the endless variety in color and design precludes the possibility of monotony. While the general appointment of a fashionable table is said to be low, ex- ception is made to water-bottles, pots, jugs, and jars, but all are so artistically and gracefully constructed as to make amends for their deviation from the low rule, In the various specimens of American water-bottles the Russian cutting is the most admired, and it goes without say- ing that any little jug having the capaci- ty of one quart of water or wine must bo a thing of beauty and a joy forever to command 830, For $16 may be bought a beauty, cut in deep foils, with stars concentric, so heavy and durable that it can be knocked round with impunity. Block-diamond cut designs cost §7, and strawberry pat- terns, in vase shape sell for 9. There are some water-bottles with tall, pitcher- lipped neck, which are made in Con- necticut, and are made from $b to §8 oach, while little broad-chested bottles, decorated with fine border patterns done in etching are exocedingly pretty, and certainly worth §3. The glass, however, is very tine, and will not endure harsh treatment. Another bottle, Egyptian in shape, had a substantial handle, rose lip, slender neck, and a wreath made of graceful clusters of lillies of the valley encircled the body, *‘I'wo dollars and twenty-five cents, and dirt cheap,” said the heretofore listless clerk. There are many tall, slender pitchers imilar to the earther jugs in which Eng- lish ales are put up. Some are from ten to fifteen ‘inches high, cylindrical in shape, and not more than four inches in diameter. They are elegantly cut and mounted on a tray similar in pattern, or made of French p{‘h glass. A couple or a singlo glass completes the sot. In crackle ware or imported glass of high colors one can squander a small for- tune, and not any more than furnish a small table with necessary articles, While there is a great demand for bot- tles, one or two being sufficient fora table, the latest fancy consists in having a small bottle for each cover, It is diffi- cult to buy them in orystal, and the Bohemian, Hungarian, and French wares are 8o very high that many ladies prefer to purchase the vinegar bottles in biue, green, red, amber, and opal crackle for 76 cents or $1.25 apiece, and simply re- move the stoppers. ) There are, however, many bottles to be had as low as 70 cents, which answer every pu for a family of simple tastes, They are bandy, durable, aud strong, and, if crushed ice is not used in the tumblers, it will be found a conven- ience to freeze a little water—about half a pint—in the bottom before sending the bottle to table, The operation, however, rqqgu-u judgment, lest the bottle crack with tho frost, Experiments should be made first wi pop-bottle, Angostura Bitters is known as the great ve all over the world, Have it in (m druggist the ganuise ardldl or or manifactured by Dr. J, 0.

Finerty, of Chicago, does not look half 80 fierco as he sounds. He is a tall, broad shouldered Irishman, with a large, grave but pleasant face, dark hair, and & reddish mustache and goatee. He moves in a large, slow way. He is generally seen on the street with his pretty young wife, and sometimes their pretty little baby is with them. All three are young. Finerty is a very earnest, sincere man He is not a patriot for revenuo only. He is an Irishman of Irishmen. Heé has the faults and virtues of his race. He is high-spirited and hot-blooded, but kind-hearted and very sensi- sible, He is absolutely ~ fearless. He was with Custer's command on the Rosebud, and in the preliminary skir- mish rede in front of the troops, aithough his duties as & newspaper corresponden: did not demand it. The correspondent of a rival Chicago newspaper could not stand the li[fhlof flowing blood, and after the first little fight made the best of his way back to civilization, He re- turned to Chicago about the same time as Finerty, and figured more prominent- ly thnq the latter at banquets and sup- pers given in their honor. At one of these the littlo coward was more than unusually eloquent in his description of the lun'br«udt{n escapes, the bloody frays and desperate adventures tfylmuqll -luqh ho had gone. When they were utting their hats and coats on after the inner, Finerty, who had remained si- lent, remarked to the braggart : **You described that very well. It was just - | his street late in the night upon which the news of Sedan’s fall was received, he saw on the other side of the way a large Gler- man restaurant brilliantly lighted and full of people. Crossing over, he found that the saloon was full of Germans drinking beer and chorusing their con- gratulations. Full of the spirit of Fon- tenoy, Finerty dashed into the saloonand forced his way through the throng to the farther end, There he mounted the board bar, his long form rising two yards above the crowd. ~ Calling for a “‘schoon- or” of champagne he shouted: *Long live France!” quaffed a great drink of the sparkling wine, and then waving the schooner, still half full, over his head, he threw it and its contents into the middle of the mass below and straightway leaped after it. Landing on his feet, with his customary good luck, he rapidly fought wiy through the angry Germans, landing bleeding, tat- tered, and torn, but happy as only ‘an_Irishman can be, on_the side- walk, Finerty is only a little over 85 now. He was younger then, but his sympathies with the oppressed and down trodden are as warm as ever. Finerty is well to do. His first wife left him asmall fortune; he has made some fortunate investments, and his Irish- American weekly newspaper in Chicago Vnyu haudsomely and grows all the time, He can come to congress as often as he likes, Finerty has o great many friends. All the Trish in_Chicago are in his *‘fol- lowing,” and half the army officers know him as well as they know each other.

B ONLY A BUNDLE OF STRAW. 1501d_and Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob the Ilinois Loan and Trust Company. Chlcago Newe. A well dressed man could have been loitering about the offices of the Illinois Loan and Trust company yesterday morn- ing about 10 o'clock., He smoked a cigar leisurely, and outwardly was unmoved, but close attention revealed the fact that he kept a sharp loekout on the action of the paying teller. He, too, had an air of delusive composure about him. But beneath his cloth he kept a sharp watch on the man, who in turn was watching the paying teller. This state of affairs existed for about three quarters of an hour. At exactly fifteen minutes before 11 o’clock the pay- ing teller returned from the vaults bear- ing what appesred to be a huge package of money. He placed it on the counter before him and carelessly turned back to- ward the vaults, Inan instant the man in front of ~the office was at the window. Another tick of the big clock and his hanp was on the package of money. But as he turned the man in the rear oflice stood before him and laid cne hand on ;| bis shoulder while the other rested sus- piciously in his overcoat pocket. “You are my prisoner,” was all he said. “Certainly, sir,” coolly answered the man as, his fingers reluctantly dropped the bundle of bills. The paying teller came back and care- fully passed back the roil of bills, Two or three clerks bustled around him and laughed as he occupied himself in tearing the bundle to pieces. 1t was composed of brown paper covered with several $1 ills. Detectives Halloran and Stift entered the front door, and the prisoner was taken to the Harrison street station. He guve his name as Frank Smith. The man who arrested him was a private de- tective of the bank, For several days past Smith has been loitering about the bank, and he was at once suspected to be an eastern bauk sneak. A dumny package of money was made upand put out for a bait. Smith bit. As the value of the bundle was only a couple of dollars, and he had only at- tempted a theft, he was arraigned before Fooce on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was fined $85 and sent to the bride- well. In the meantime the police will endeavor to ascertain who “Frank Smith” really is. The wholo plan was well conceived and neatly carried out. By the avidity with which he took the bait is not thought that he is a man of much standing in the world of crooks. Are you Billious! Tty the romedy that cured Mrs. Clement of Franklyn, N, H— Hood's Sarsaparilla, made ' in Lowell Mass, Cultivating the Orchard, In speaking of the cultivation of the orchard a correspondent in The Practical Farmer says: *If fruit trees after thoy have attained a size sufficiently large for bearing fruit can be made to do as well in grass as when cultivated, it is obvious that it will be much less expense to seed to grass and save the cost of cultivation. But that would not be all the advantage obtained. It is well known that cultiva- tion is likely to injure many of the large roots of the trees. This is the greatest objection to cultivating amung large trees, It is desirable that the roots should penetrate the soil near the surface in all directions, since the surface soil is the richest; but if cultivation is practiced, the roots which approach the surface are continually torn and injured and kept from approaching the surface. 1f the soil is cultivated wmong large trees, the culti- ion shouid be very shallow, so as to injure the roots as little as possible, By frequent topdressing with fertilizers it is believed that the trees will do equll‘;y as well in grass as when cultivated. Pasturing sheep or pigs in the orchard is a good method of disposing of what grass grows, and enriching the soil, The pigs and sheep will also eat the fruit which falls prematurely, and they de- stroy the larvie of the codling moth con- tained in it. If, however, the grass is allowed to grow, it is best to cut it two or three times during the summer, and let it remain on the ground to mulch and enrich the soil. In regard to whether to cultivate an orchard or not, it may be about as you said ; but you didn't see it, you know " And this was the only comment he made, The story often told of Finerty well illustrates his character. 1t is that while walking down a Chicago said that if trees are young, they should be cultivated to promote their growth; but if the trees are large, they need not be oultivated, but may be sceded grass and top-dressed,” to South east Corner Dodge, and 16th, near Capit N B A A AR R AY, JANUARY 9, 1884.
