THE NEW YORK GIRL IN CHURCH. Coming Eyents Which Cast Their Shadows Before — Mrs. Tom Thumb — Canoe Girls — Clara Belle's Lotter, New York, June 4.—|Correspondence of the BE ow we have it. What? Why, the positively correet costume for summer wear at the summer resorts where the ruralism is truly rural. Tuxedo park 18 a monarchy, a# you know, where the personality of the residents and much of their behavior is arbitrarily set- tled by the exquisite board of managers. 1t 1s no joke, nor even the slightest per- version of the truth, to say that the Tux- do directors have fixed on a style of dress for feminine out-door seckers after summer indolence or activity. Several of the most intensely fashionable gar- ment makers have got specifications right headquarters, and 8o I can tell you just from about what the swell girls will wear at Tuxedo this scason. The waist is to be a blouse, the skirts undraped,aund the waist encircled by a sash. The head covering will be & loose cap, that can be pulled over the face enough to shade it from the sun, The material will be knitted wool, and the colors the brightest imaginable in stripes alternating with grey, blue and brown. In the way of little things, 1 yesterday saw a close carriage drive up to the Bel- mont residence in Fifth avenue, There was plenty of high style about the sleek, spirited horses, the liveried driver and lackey, and the mirror-like blackness of the polished vehicle; but those qualities can now be had at the best livery stables, and thercfore they no longer indicate ownership on tne part of the occuvants. What made me stop and covertly stare was the emergence or a three-and-a-haif foot lady, She was matronly in shape and mein, her face was handsome as forty-five, and her dress was the perfec- tion of quiet fashion. Had my eyes sud- denly become telescopic wrong end to? [ rubbed them, and looked again. By that time the lady in minature was ascending :Ihn Belmont steps, Then I recognized or. SHE WAS MRS, TOM THUMB, otherwise the Countess Mab Magrie, who had within three days arrived from Eu- rope, and was making a round of formal calls. Mrs. ‘'humb has a considerable circle of pretentious acquaintances in New York, and she is very punctillious in her attention to the usages of polite so- ciety. I went with a country friend to Grace church to observe the demeanor of the fushionable girls who rendezvous there of aSabbath morning. We arrived just a8 the organist began his voluntary, and the pews were not half full. Moreover, it looked as if there was not going to be much of a house, for few veople were coming in. We sat fof a short time in a pew at a side that commanded a view of the entrance. Others were there wait- ing for the ushers to find them better seats. When the voluntary was about coming to an end, the pew holders began to arrive. The girls rustlod by in mag- nificent apparel, and a\-cr?' one of them paused for an instant at the head of the looking nbout the church before lfi)wn to her pew. Kach one an elegant edition of the prayer book in her hands. The most Eupulur edition had gilt cdged leaves, lue back and a Dblue border on vellum covers. The rector and his as- sistants and choir marched in and the stream of incoming pew holders in- creased, The fashionable character of the nudience became more marked. A typieal pair of delightful and handsome girls came in while the minister wus en gaged in reading the service. They en- tered at opposite sides of the vestibule, recoguizing each other, and ran together with & resounding kiss that echoed i way down the broad aisle and lost 1tself wn the sounding board over the pulpit. They held their flmyer books daintily be- fore them and chatted and smiled, and as they smiled cach took rapid but keen surveys of the other's dress. Each was blessed with an elegant tigure and a rich papa, and there was little room for dis- advantageous comparison one with the other. “When are you going away?" asked one. *‘Next week; when do vou got” *Oh, we're ‘iuing the day after to-mor- row. We shallgo to Geneva n July, you know.'! “*How delighttul? we are going to Pari about the same time. We must persuade our papas to take the same steamer.'’ Then™ going to the baize doors that opened upon the broad aisle, she peeped through and whispered: “1think there are strangers in our pew.' “Never mind,” said the other, *you must sit with me." So they came in to the head of the side aisle, stood for a moment as the others had done, and then walked about half way down the church to the pew. A moment later the usher conducted us to & pew near them, When they entercd their pew they GAVE A SWING TO THEIR SKIRTS to assure themselves that the tournure should come down right. It was gruce- fully done, Then they inelined their heads, one putting a vellum covered prayer book to her cyes, the other he gloved fingers, prominent on which plimimered ™ a eplendid pearl. A nd in the front pew turnedand kindly showed them the piace in the service to aisle, which the minister had come, smiled their thanks in the sweetest man- nd glanced critically but not unfa- ly at their friend’s bonnet. When rourse of the' service it became ry to pray for me for “us mis- erable sinners, ' they moved their lips de- corously and presumably uttered the self- condemnatory words. ~A beautiful girl in a fairly stunning dress swept down the aisle to a pew some distance in front ofthem. They turned their heads slight- ly and looked with all their decorous cyes at the passing show, and they did not cease to look until several seconds had elapsed after the new-comer had taken her seat. During the sermon the girls kept their eyes with considerable steadfastness in the general direction of the pulpit, and at times they certainly heard what the acher said; but often there was a dreamy expression on their fices as they glanced at a groined arch over the preacher’s head, and one might have lhuufih that they saw visions of Geneva and Paris and the glory of fine raiment displayed at Worth's. E ccomin‘z humility was shown when they bowed their hends to receive the bencdiction. when the **Amen" was spoken they stepped quickly though not with 1mproper haste, 1nto the aisle, and went to the beautiful girl whose entrance had distracted their at- tention, Their words of greeting were effusive and they fell to tal m%ubuul the trivs abroad in prospect. As t| oy passed up the aisle just behind us I failed to catch a single word that had the remotest connection with the topic of the sermon or the general service. And when they reached the Broadway sidewalk they kissed each other and entered their re- spective _carriages and were driven away. Every movement had been quiet and unpronouced, the effects being ac- complished with a skillful and reserved grace that distinguishes the fashionable city-bred girl from all others in the world, And that is how New York swell girls attend church. This June is'a month of brides in “our best society.” v/1¢ has from year to year become more and ihiore an annual cus- tom to marry4mw the ticst month of sum- mer. That enables the couples to make an European bridal trip at the desirable season, or to laze through a seagon of wedded sentimentality at an Amecrican watering place, The weddings this week quite within the most restrictive bounds of New York's ‘“society’ figure up to thirtcen. How time will fly with them. The first thing they know it will be sum- mer again, and they will bo old wedded u:urs of a year's standing, There was ho PRETTY AND SWEET MRS, CLEVELAND, How little a time ago it scems since we were in a flurry here in New York over her marriage; and now she has gone to the Adirondacks a settled matron. It is polite, isn’tit, to talk and write about the primogenial affairs of great rulers? Well, my information 18 direct and cor- rect that if the American presidency was a matter of heredity, politicians might look forward to next August with espec- ial interest. The canoe threatens to become femi- ninely fashionable. A woman and & canoe—the two oughtto go well together, for ever since there were women and canoes they have both had the reputa- tion of being cranky. “The fact of the matter is, the canoe has been slandered,” said a belle, in talking about canoeing for women,‘‘until it has got the reputation of being unsafe. ‘That is what makes 1t popular among the more dashing of our girls. She and her brother have made the trip up the Hud- son to Albany and back, csmping out on the way, and otherwise taking advantage of all the op&lurmnitics for roughing it.” “What did you wear? And what did you do with your clothes?” 1 asked. *You surely did not take a Sunday bon- net along."” ‘I wore o blue flannel dress made all in one piece, with a blouse, no drapery, the skirt reaching to the tops of a pair of extra high boots. 1t weighed a pound and a half. I wore a sailor hat and car- ried a light jacket, to be ready for changes of weather. OQur canoe is rather small to be used as a tandem-—it meas- ures 14 feet by 80 inches—so that one could not have taken much luggage it we haa wished. All that we carried weighed only about thirty pounds and of this our photographic materials, plates, eamers ete., \vuighu\l between fifteen and twenty pounds.” *“‘What did you do at night, slecp on the ground and cover with your canoe, or go to a hotel?” y % *‘We started with the intention of camping out every night, but good camp- ing places between here and Albany are not numerous and we sometimea had to stop at u hotel. But we did camp out about two-thirds of the time, We carried o sall tent, made of sheeting, so that it would be of less weight than one of canvas, o blanket apiece and s rubber blanket to spread on the ground. We had & tin pail apiece, aud a “tin cup, tin plate, and a knife each, and a few other )J-rimuivn and strictly necessary articles. 'hen we carried a few canned meats,but not much in that iine, as we expected to be able to buy most of what we would want at our camping places. In that we were sometimes badly disappointed. One evening k WE CAMI'ED NEAR ESOPU! tired and hungry after paddling all day, and walked over the hill to the connlrer store to find something to eat. But all that was to be had was a loaf of baker's bread and a burdle of wilted beets. On another occasion all that we could get was some bread and milk and green plums. But usually we fared reasonably well. Then the numerous ice houses along the Hudson and the ice barges con- stantly going up and down made it eas to keep # i pail full of ico chips, whic d quite a luxury," _ “You did not feel afraid tossin, in al! that wind and water in suc shell of a boaty” ot in the least, I knew the canoe, and I feit just as safe there as I would on about a tiny They know how to handle it and are reason- ably prudent in their actions there is absolutely no dunger. If they only sit still in the bottom of the boat they can't overturn it if they try. One day we went aboard a brick barge and the astonish- ment the men who ran the big clumsy thing showed over our tiny craft was (uite amusing. They considered us miracles of courage because we were willing to go on the water in such a cockle shell "and were absolutely sure that we would be upset 1n less than half an hour. And as for me, they could hardly believe the evidence of their own s that I had been aboard the canoe, and nothing could have convinced them that there was another woman on the face of the earth who would dare venture in it on the water.” So the belle in a canoe is something of a proud heroine. Many ladies who dabble in their own dressmaking here in the city,buy dumm figures made of zinc neatly cut and sold- ered together like a dress waist,and war- ranted to be the exact size and shape of the buyer. These bodices are mounted on a skeleton petticoat made of heavy wire; and a vertebral column like a broom- stick with a knot on top, penetrates the affair and finishes in four little legs with castors, Mrs, Catlin got one of these things, and it is likely to make an awfal row in the famly. picious, jealous little man. Now Mrs. C., according to the disclosures of the dummy figure, has a girth measure of thirty-six inches, and a bust of forty-seven. his is no fool of a measurement to be jealous of; but Catlin has an idea that she is A SORT OF MATURED VENUS and his brain takes tire with dangerous readiness, He met the zine obelisk with the wire base goingup the front steps. He recognized the graceful proportions and sailed into the dining-room, where his wife and a few lady triends were dis- cussing a few strawberries and the latest sweet thing in sleeyes. “‘Madam,” said he, ‘‘what was my re- ply when old Marbleyard wanted to make a statue of you for the family lot in Cypress Hill? "No, I said. It may be decent to make statues after death, but no modest woman will be sculptured while living. would not permit_it. And here you have been and committed a greater impropriety than to have sat for your bust to old Marbleyard.” *Why, Mr, Catlin how you do go on,’’ she replied; “I didn't Lave to sit for that thing." ‘Do you mean to tell me that it was done from 1imagination?” ] 'l‘No. Idonot; I was measured by a ady.” "&0 lady made that thing; that's the handiwork of a male mechanic.” “Very likely, Mr. Catlin, but made from measurements put down in a book by a woman,” ““No, madam; you say that to avoid my just indignat| but'l recognize your figure, even to that little rise in the neck when you broke your collar bone as a child.

The dummy is standing in the grass plot in the back yard, the neighbors say, and already morning glories are going up its legs. Catlin swears he won't have it in the house. It will be a pretty little gar- den ornament in a month, when the efligy of Mrs. C. will be petticoated with climbing plants, and only the headless torso will protrude from the frindiy clasping creeping shrubs.

Bosron, June 2.—|Correspondence of the BEe.]—The summer season is almost upon us and it promises to be one of un- usual dullness. 1f it were not for a yacht race now and then, the national league base ball games, and the natural sportive character of Boston péople,the thousands of unfortunates who will have to remain in the city all or most all of the summer, would have a hard lot indeed. The light opera season closed last week and the heathenish strains of the ill-toothed “Mikado” and the sepulchral dirge of the ‘‘Chorus of Ancesters™ are with us no more. The rose bedecked *“Brides- maids of Ruddygore” have gone off | duty for the summer and the bad crimes of a bad baronet will trouble them no more for a time. Even Herrman, the far famed prestidigitateur (!), who hasa trim figure which he shows off'to good advantage 1n broadcloth, knickerbockers and black silk stockings, who wears a French moustache and an imperial nose, who performs sleight of hand tricks in ven different languages—has gone. he celebrated *‘Jim the Penman’’ com- as left the Park, after along and ful run, in which b S BOOTH SCHOEFFEL yed Mrs. Ralston, and Mr. lvini covered himself with glory us the villainous old Baron Hard- felt. After a short engagement with the dison Square theatre company in “Jim the Penman™ at Chicago, Mrs. Booth will retire to her charming sum- mer home at Manchester-by-the-sca, where she will spend the summer with her husband and her children, enjoying to the fullest extent the ontdoor existence and healthful sports common to seashore life. Mr. Augustin Daly’s folks, too, who have been “Taming the shrew’ so successfully hefore packed houses at the museum have gone their way, making room for the appearance of another prince of conjurers ealled Kellar, who claims to be fresh from fields of victory in Philadelphia. The Boston theatre 18 fast accommodating itself to the demands of the season, and after a week’'s pre- sentation of the spectacular *“‘World” will come down to the popular summer prices of 16 to 75 cents. At the Hollis Street, Rice’s beautiful *Evangelinestill finds great favor with the public, and the fiftieth performance is announced. But as the attendance at the theatres nightly hecomes less, THE INTEREST IN BASE BALL seems to increase. Thirty thousand peo- ple saw the two games between Boston and Detroit on Decoration day. How the lovers of the game can stand it to have Kelly's braves leave the Hub and go out on the warpath, as they must need do, 1 cannot understand. The Boston team has curtmnl{ been doipg good work on the dinmond this year, and the general opinion around here is that they will give Detroit a pretty close rub for first place. Memorial day was, as usual, very gen- erally observed in Boston. Scarce any business was transacted aud people gathered by the thousands at the-ceme- ies to witness the decoration and par- ticipate in memorial services. The ser- vices were principally under the auspices of G. A. R. posts. The fire companies of Boston also very appropriately remem- bered their departed companions by floral decorations and other cercmonies. One of the most notable events which took vlace here on Monday was the joint meeting in the eveming of the Central Labor Iyceum and THE WENDELL PHILLIPS CLUB, m Faneuil hall. The meeting wus n memory of Wendell Phillips and the principal speech of the evening was made by General B. F. Butler. Mr. William O’Brien, the Insh editor, 18 met with a reception in Boston quite different from the ones he received in the dominion, But of ceurse nothing else can be expected. Boston's chief foreign element is Irish, many of her prominent citizens are Irish, and the city 1s full of Irish sympathizers. Nothing is too good for Mr. O'Brien in Boston. Trinity church is in distress. Dr. Phil- lips Brooks is going to take a trip to Europe. FRANZ SEPEL. e MR, DUMBLE'S ADVENTURE. Wallace P. Reed, in Atlanta Conatitution, “David Dumble, Beston, Mass., S. A" When Mr. Dumble had written this legend on the greasy register of the Hotel Bolivar, the leading hostelry in the city of Guatemala, he banded the land. lord a package of vatuable papers for safe keeping, and said that he would go to his room at once. Mr. Dumble had arrived late at night, and feeling sleepy and travel worn, was in no mood for” conversation. He felt that after & good night's rest h be all the better able to look after the interests of his firm, the big coffec house of Bidgood & Co., of Boston. i The next morning the Bostonian was up with the sun, but.to his inexpressible annoyance he found it gomewhat diflicult to make his toilet, as his garments were all missing. “Itis & blank, queer thing, soliio- quized Mr. Damble, as he dodged about the room carcfully avoiding the windows, Alexander ‘Thung my clothes on that chair last | citizens in such cases,” v night and now they are gone,”” He looked around for a bell, but could find none. Then he opened his door and listened 1ntently. Nobody was stirring in house. “Now, 1 am_not going to stand this," said Mr, Dumble, “I'am not going tostay in bed like these lazy Central Americans, I must have my morning walk.” He looked down at his airy costume Clearly 1t would not do to go out until he was dressed. Sticking his head out of the door he yelled at the top of his voice: “Hello! Waiter! Boy!" No answer. Mr. Dumble in his excitement walked out into the corridor and paraded up and down. A1 ' he shouted, Yum Yum, Jesus!” ““These names ought to bring some of them,” he said, “‘but they don’t seem' to fit. Of course I can get some clothes when I see the landlord, but how am I to et them now?t" Just then Mr. Damble noticed that the door of the room mnext to his chamber stood ajar. Without considering the matter, he plunged in on a tour of inves- tigation. Ina moment he reappecared with an armful of clulhin‘i, and rushed into his own room, where he proceeded to inspect his plunder. “They will fit,” he remarked, ‘‘but what an outragcous rig it is! Gold lace, & sash and sword, and a cocked hat. I'l put on the things until I can do better," When drrayed in his vorrowed garb, Mr. Dumble presented a very pictur- esque appearance. He was short and stout, with a red, jolly face, and culiar trappings were really becoming. “I feel like a fool,” said Dumble confi- dentially to his reflection in_the mirror. ‘“These duds don’t suit a bald-headed Boston man in the coffee trade, Amla masquerade ball or a circus?” Finding himself unable to answer the “Pedro, Sambo, question, Mr. Dumble looked out of the | window. There was nosign of life in the streets, and it was evident that Guate- mala did not boast of an early rising pop ulation. After some consideration Mr, Dumble decided that he wouid venture out for a walk, On his return he would explain things to the landlord and make it all right with the unknown owner of the fancy costume. Of course, a man in a cocked hat and a old laced coat, with a sword dangiing y his side, could not go skipping along in the jaunty style of the average com- wercial traveler. Mr. Dumble saw this, and when he reached the street be started oft at a dignified pace. He was very much gratified to find that the few persons he met saluted him with reat respect, but after awhile he grew a ttle uneasy. *“I'here is something wrong,”” he mut- tered. *“‘This is no masquerade costume, It belongs to some highcoc! orum fel- low, some foreign minister, perhaps. The thilug muyiget ma Iuto troublo yat! However, he was in for it. [he carly morning air was so bracing and the quaint streets so attractive that the Bos- tonian could not resist the temptation to prolong his stroll. He soon found him- self in the residence part of the city, and us the sun_ climbed higher, the streets began to fill with people. All the pro- menaders and even those in carriages saluted the man in the cocked hat very deferentially. “I am evidently somebody,’’ thought Dumble, *‘bat who in the mischief am L If 1 could speak their jingling lingo :plcr?_hl_y_uwll, 1 would ask for informa- ion. It was now past breakfast time, but the distracted tourist was not aware of 1t. He was lhin}:iuf{ of returning to the hotel, and wondering whether he had lost his way, when a carriage halted and :n oflicer jumped out and took off his ut. “l was on my way to the hotel,”” he said in good English, “but I see that your excellency 18 already on his way to the alace. The president will be delighted, ut your excellency must not walk, Permit me,” and taking the bewildered Dumble by the arm he pushed him into the carriage before there was time for remonstrance, In spite ot nis cocked hat and sword, Dumble fel* his knees shaking together. What could it mean? Was he about to be condxcted into the presence of Presi- dent Barrios? During the next five minutes he saw everything through a haze He was vaguely conseious of submissively allow- ing himself to be escorted from the car- riage through spacious grounds into an imposing building, where he found him- self in a library, acknowledging in a con- fused way the greetings of a handsome, dark-faced, soldierly-looking man. Mr. Dumble was now fully alive to the peril of his situation, There was nothin to be done but to act guardedly, and en the visit suddenly by pleading illness. For several minutes the conversation was purely general and the visitor was still in the dark as to the real nature of the case. The president addressed him somctimes as *'Your Excellency’ and sometimes as “Sir John.” ‘“‘He takes me for a Britisher,"” Dumble thought, *'some envoy e: i minister who has just arriv F “‘Concerning the loan,” said the presi- dent, “what does your excellency sug- gesty" Dumble broke out into a cold prespira- tion. What loan? He was ut sea. He could only stare stupidly at Barrios. “Ah, I see,” continued the presiaent, smiling, ‘“your excellency would first hear a proposition from me?" *Ur-r--1 think it wonld suit me better," replied the puzzled Bostonian, “Very well,” was the response. *‘1 must tell you plainly that Guatemala cannot redeem the bouds, Now this in- debtedness should not be a matter of vital | importance to your government, since it is due to privafe citizens, various bunkers and capitalists of London."” “Englund nas ulways protected her his pe- ON DAYS OverFremont,Elkhorn & Mo.Valley Ry Omaha To Fremout& Return $2 00 Mo.
