BW York, Feb, 24.—| Correspondence ng done, accidentally and on purpose, that small section of New York society ¢h regards itself asall there really 18 society; but I do believe that the sion of dancing Washington's birth- iy out and Ash Wednesday in was ab- itely now at Tuxedo. The holiday s merged into the holy day with a Sillon in the casino, out at that in- sely fashionuble resort. The orchestra Yankee national airs untl five nutes before midnight. Then those @ fect were controlled by religious Suples stopped dancing, and retired im the floor—some of them from the Hiding altogether; but a considerable ty kept up the sport, and six giddy s, just at the stroke of twelve, took atiny satin stairy and striped flags ym their hair and corsages, substitut- 1z small knots of black ribbon. { LENTEN HOSIERY, ‘ashion’s rules for Lent are strangely faflicting and inconsistent.

Mrs. Paran Stevens, who has been for damages by Miss Gibbons, a for- ir tenant, maintains herself sturdily as ociety lender, despite her humble ori- and strenuous ways. This is partly to her wealth, partly to her connec- ns with the English nobility, and ly to her own merry wit. She can a8 muny laughable lhmf{s in an hour most society women do in a year, en she built the Victoria hotel, just Y%Mmlhmn square, she had the lower r fitted np for stores.

It was impossible to tell through the glass what the sands were, though the lightest shade looked like silicon, and there appeared to be common clay there. “Does this go?" was asked of the clerk. “'Oh, yes," he said; “It don’t sell like a standard cigar, but it averages well, There have been' one or two days when we didn’t sell a bottle, bul the average has been just about twenty-five a day.’ REVIVALS FOR CHILDREN, The novelty at afashionable church has been a revivalist who devotes his efforts to young children, He was the veteran E.P. Hammond. "I bring out vividly before the minds of children,” said Mr. Hammond to the writer, “‘the great fact that Christ died n cruel death on the cross in their stead. 1dwell on the sufferings of Christ until the children realize him vividly crucified before them. They must gce the crown of thorns upon his brow.' T'wo hundred children, under the charge of Sunday-school teache listening to Mr. Hammond, could be scen every after- noon. He read the accounts of the cruci- fixion from the gospels and supple- mented them with vivid deseriptions of vicarious atonement. Then he told about the crown of thorns and produced such an Articie, which he had brought from Jerusalem. Children from four to fourteen years ot age listened to the re- vivalist's' stories and exhortations in tently, and when he was very graphic in his description and pantomimic illustra- tion of Christ'ssufferings, some little ones wept bitterl THE ACADEMY SALE. ‘The auction sale of the Music is a token of the up-town move- ment; but more than that it is proof that the borders of ‘tsociety” have of late been rapidly expanded, There w a time when New York was so small that a single circle of ric well-bred families could fairly cluim to' be “our best soci- ety.” It has long ceased to be so. There are dozens of cliques which are stop, and the Astor one is not higher than the others. 1t 1s much easier to-day to get into that particular social section than into some others that could be named, Well, in the old times the Academy of Music, with its proprictary boxes, was big enough to hold the nabobs. But there came a time when, instead of ex- cluding the rest of the fashionable world they were_themselves in danger of o clusion, The Metropolitan opera house was built, with its multiplied number of boxes, and the Academy families had to seramble into the new ‘eoncern to save themselves. They did 1t and the old house is ndoned. ARION MASKERS, Not a few of the approved box-owners of the Metropolitan were spectators at the great Arion masquerade. There was some measure of comfort in attend- ing this ball, for the crowd of stupid, disgusting_spectators in_ the most ordis nary dress is not attracted to it. Ever body goes_either in full dress or én masque. I would try to describe the brilliant picture with its salient features if the English language were eapable of it, The fact is that such an event cannot be told in English; the proper, perhaps 1 ought to say impioper, words are not in the vocabularv.

Not that they were so overpowered by a desire to dance, but that the scenes in the refreshment rooms were a little too pronounced for the equanimity of even a liberal German. It seemed to me that these respectable peo- ple must have found entertainment scarce this winter to submit thus to the sacrifice of their proper emotions. Never- theless they were the most reasonable women present, outside the members of the half-world.

Signs of War—Solona Approachable —~8ingular “I Ohject’” Mon—Sig- nificant Improvements — Society and Grover, Wasnisaros, Feb, 24— [Uorrespondence of the Bex.]—It bezins to look as though England and her province of Canada have had quite enough of their snarl with the United States, und that they would be glad to reach a peaceable readjustment of what threatens to be abreach which will lead to war. Lt is known that during the past two months steps have been taken to adjust the differences between that country and this by means of a commission and arbitration. ‘The very positive moves made by congress to prepare for war, if necessary, and to be in readiness for defense in any event, has made avery perceptible effect upon our British neighbors, There is bardiy zood ground, however, for ingland to be frightened at the talk in our congress. Such a great difference exists be- tween the two houses of congress on the sub- ject of a navy, const defences, ete., that there is very little liklihood of anything being done which will prepare us to mcet the enemy within a period when this. trouble must be culminated. The senate has piled up on the house a number of bills in good faith, but the house does not intend to do anything with them if itean help it, aud is meoting the popular demand for action by ereating new bills, which cannot be acted upon, instead of passing those which have already received action by the senate. The real objection to an expenditure for a navy and coast defences lies in objection to taking the surplus out of the treasury, and this is based upon a desire to reform the tarifl next winter, a¥e “Well, Lhave had a winrl of it this win- ter,” said M Cleveland to some friends this week, referring to the gayeties of so- ciety: “but 1 have had the most charming time of my life.” Surely Mrs. Cleveland has withstood the ordeal imposed upon her better than any lady who has occupied the white house, and su she has had a busier season of it from the day of her marriage than any of her predecessors, It has been one continual swim on the crest of the wave, and she iooks as fresh and sweet as on the day she left her maidenhood and entered the scriousness of the lite she now leads.
