BABY COULD'S WARDROBE. In a Point of Elegance and Value It is Unrivaled. LORGNETTE THE LATEST FAD. Grandmothers Shopping—A Religious amination—-Langtry's Shrewd- New York, August 25.—[Correspond- ence of the Bre.]—Edith Gould has a boy baby. The telegraph told you so more than a week ago. As the oldest son of Jay Gould’s oldest son, he is an inter- esting little fellow. Jay Gould expects to die leaving a hundred millions. George Gould might easily leave five hundred millions. Therefore the grand- son of the great accumulator might figure his portion up to a thousand millions when he comes to make his will. Where is the baby girl who is destined to catch him? Away with surmises. Let us deal with the plain, present facts of the in- fant's wardrobe. All the information I can give on that subject relates to the lace profusely used to embellish the wordrobe. About six months ago, Mrs. George Gould was talking in her father- in-law's presence of a wonderfully beautiful specimen of lace that she had seen in London, while she was playing there with an American thes rical company, just before her retire- ment from the stage and marriage. This lace was, she said, a perfect example of the most exquisite point d’Alencon. It bad been the property of the Empress Eugenje. 1t was unique on account not only of the beauty of its floral de: ut also the perfection of its color. of the lace throughout was ad creamy white, while the slight difference in color between the flowers and the foundation on which they were worked could be apureciated by the connoiseur in these matters. Ithad not been ob- tained by tinting, as in the case of infer- jor Iaces, but it was simply the natural result of the patient hand labor ex pended on its manufacture. This ex- uisite piece of point d’Alencon con- sisted of ten yards of wide flouncing, be- sides a handsome garmiture in two widths to correspond. YO MRS, GOULD expatiated on the beauties of this lace volubly. “Do you want it?” Jay Gould asked. “It would delight me,” was Edith's n-,‘pw ‘What would you do with it?” She gave an evasive answer., But her ire to possess that particular piece of lace was uncquivocal, Mr. Gould sad that she should have it. Within two weeks it was in the house, for the order to buy it was sent over the cable. The price was £2,000, or $10,000, and the duty and other expenses raised the cost to about §15,000. The bride knew what s he meant to do with that lace. It was cut up ruthlessly, and variously utillzed 1n embelishing the clothes for the baby who has now come into the Gould family. The voungster doesn’t know it, but his elegance of wardrobe is extreme. Ex- perts are frequently deceived by clever imitations of china, and even of the paintings of the old masters, but it has been proved over and over again that it is impossible to reproduce )LD LACE. ace is inevitably full of ils, which were luvished on the work regardless of the labor and the time expended These lace-makers thought nothing of their own trouble, so long as the result came as nearto perfec- tion as nossible. Perfect examples of needle-point lace, such as Point d’ Alen- con, etian Rose Point, or Pomt d Argenta 11l certainly last long and look beautiful long after modern Brus- sels lace has worn itself ont. The ma- teraills employed for antique Point D'Alencon were the finest possivle hand- spun flax, together with the horse-hair or silver wire over which the pattern was worked. These materials render the lace excpedingly strong and durable, although the reseau is quite as light and’graceful as that of the more showy production of Belgium. Jay Gould takes a peculiar interest in unique workmanship of every kind. This picce of laco has been studied by him. He assured a friend of mine, in showing and explaining the treasure, that such magnificent specimens as these were rare even in those days when point d’Alencon was a lace produced in considerable quantities, and important examples can never be produced again. There aro but a few workers left who can produce these extraordinary qualitics of needle-point lace, and it seems a grievous pity that the ' taste of modern times should be i favor of effect and guantity rather than quality and per- ection in design and execution. As the lace-makers must of necessity work only to suit the public taste,the art of making this exquisite needle-point lace is no longer learnt by the work girls. It does not pay, in fact, to teach them, as they would probably not be able to earn a living, even when arrived at proficicncy in this most beautiful and interesting art, Hurrah for the Gould baby. A year or so ago every lady carried to the theater a cut glass scent bottle as big ns a policeman’s club. But pretty soon it was discovered that a few lumps of sugar usually accompanied the bottle, and that women dropped enough liguor on the sugar to get up a comfortivg stato of booze during a five act play. There oceasionally an accident happened. At Ir- vin's hirst presentation of **Hamlet,"a lady well downin front dropped her huge cut glass truncheon. [t broke squarely 1o the middle and the place smelled like a bar- room away to tho last rows. for her scent bottle was filled with choice old rye. ““(Get thee to a nunnery,” advised Irving, and the poor girl who owned the gaudy somforter, departed smelling as if he had vidden her to getto a distillery. Now the latest fad 1s the lorgnette. Ladies sit with the huge tortoise shell things held to their faces. ““What be they” &aid a real old Joshua Whitcomb, who was taken by a city friend to the theatre; “they ook like razors for all the worla." he long handled shell lorgnette is fitted with perfectly plain glass, nine times out of ten,the occulists will teil you, but it is trying to the eyes to sit a whole evening as many women do, and look through two shell hoops, though the glass may be plain and clean.
