Lhe bizarre custom of wearing low- necked gowns by daylight has the mot the administration, for Miss Mabel McKinley poured tea, for Mrs, Elkins last Wednesday, decol- lette, ring the same gownin which she appeared st Mrs, Westinghouse’s on Monday. At Mrs. Westing- house's Mondays-at-home there is always an elaborate — ball-supper served, and one is sure of finding, what is so painfully rare in Washing- ton, really drinkable punch. Mrs, Westinghouse has adopted a singular fashion of late, and appears at her entertainments wearing a turban— species of sweetmeat ot blue satin and white feathers+perched on her flaff of blonde hair. * * * An amusing incident occurred at the last diplomatic reseption in Washington. It appears that among those present- ed to Mrs. McKinley at this reception was Mrs. Westinghouse, who is now one of the recognized leaders in the capital’s society. Instead of court esying and gracefully moving away, as is the custom in Washington court circles, Mrs, Westinghouse fell upon the neck of Mrs. McKialey, much to the embarrassment of that lady, and repeatedly embraced her. This breach of court etiquette nearly threw the stately diplomats and the assembled guests into a state of nervous prostration, and for a mo- ment consternation reigned supreme. One of the first, however, to recover himself was a well known wit and wag, who remarked loudly enough to be heard’by many of the company “Ab, a Westinghouse break,’’— Towa Topics.

MAN AND BEAST. An Arabic Legend Showing Wherein Lies Man’s Great Power. The lion, king of beasts, superb and generous, had been killed, leaving his lioness and cub behind him to honor his memory and perpetuate his race. This noble scion burned with a desire to travel over the world. “Why,” asked his mother, covering him with caresses, “why do you wish to leave me? Are you not happy here? Take care, my child; beyond these vast soli- tudes that make your empire, you will meet among other dangers the most terrible of all our enemies, he who made you an orphan—that formid- able being they call man!” At last, tired of this eternal warn- ing, and taking council of his courage alone, the young heir to the kingdom of beasts took leave of his mother one day, say “I fear nothing; I am young and strong; | am as brave as iny father was before me, and if I see this creature called man—well—he shall sce me!” He departed. The first day he perce! his road, “Are you man?” he asked. “No,” replied the peaceful ereature, chew= ing his cud; “he of whom you speak is my master; he harnesses me to the plow, and if I move too slowly fos an ox in walked oif pensively. She next day he saw a horse hob- bled ina field, “Are youma asked the fierce tray . “Oh, no, my lord,” replied the trembling courser. “I am his servant; I carry him on my back. When I do not go at the speed he de- sires he belabors my flanks with asort of star-shaped wheel covered with pointed blades.” A short time after that he came to India, where he met an animal of enormous size, who seemed gifted with indomitable strength. “This time I cannot be mistaken,” he said, approaching it, “You are man, arc you not?” “You are indeed wrong. Tam an elephant, and he whose namc you have just spoken is my lord and mast Tcarry him on my back when he hunts the tiger, snd—see what con- fidence he has in me—he leaves me often to keep guard’ over his little ones.” On hearing these words the young lion hurried on, more and more perplexed.

But at the sight of a creature so paltry and frail he roared disdainfully. “How can thi be? Is it you my mother fears so, and of whom she warned me? Was it | you who dared approach my father?
