The Comptroller says {t is a question of cost. The estimate of $5,000,000 does not appear to be excessive in view uf the great advantages to be derived from the park by future generations of seaside visitors. THE THEATRICAL FROST. Manager Brady follows Manager Belasco with a warn- ing avout the overdoing of the theatrical business. He goes further in prophesying that this {s likely to be the “worst theatrical scason America has known in twenty years.” Too many theatres, tod many plays, too large It.is probable that the inferior quality of the plays pre- sented has had as much to do with the poor business as any other .cause, Joseph Weber, of Weber & Fields, makes the significant remark that his playhouse “has no burlesque this year because there ‘hasn't been anything worth burlesquing.” As a matter of fact, the only popular success of the Beason has heen the revived “Erminie,” the contrast of which with the latter-day type of musical comedy is elo- Quent of the decline in stage standards, Mor the rest, the playgoer has had an unsutisfactory programme to choose from. “Capt. Dieppe,” “The Spenders,” “Hearts Courageous.” “Pretty Peggy''—not one of these offerings has possessed attracting powers. “Dante,” though bear- manship. “Ulysses,” although in the book a literary Work of high excellence and elaborately staged, has not &ppealed to popular taste. Even to a scnoolboy fresh from ‘his Odyssey tho illusion was lacking. Evidently there is need of the same rempdy for the drama as that recommended hy Mr. Carnegie for inflated stocks—"a squeezing out of the water.” There has been too ‘much over-capitalization, too much over-sanguine Aotation of enterprises not based on solid merit. The theatre-goer has becn called on to pay par prices for shows not answering the promises of the prospectus. His $2 now procures him more agreeable surroundings and a greater profusion of plush and purple, but the re- turn in dramatic art is not wp to the mar. This “squeezing out of the water,” to apply Mr. Car- negie'’s remedy further, “cannot como too soon. It will have a salutary effect that cannot be overestimated.” But the preliminary process is somewhat rough on the audiences, A RECIPE FOR YOUTH.

By Elizabeth H. Westwood, OW does a man fall in love? Ask him, you say? a winning smile and it’e all over with him, He takes to gazing sadly at the moon and hummifig sentimental songs. He madly sortbbles verses, He dashes to the ficrist’s, He spends ugonized hours on hia toilet. He writes @ dozen notes be- fore he produces one fit for the object of bia dreams. Sleep deserts him. Food has no attraction. What is the matter? Is he crazy? Not at all. He ds in love. Ha has been doing this sort of thing ever since Adam first met Eve under the apple trees, and he will still be do- ing it in the millennium, But how it happens he doean't know. ‘That's what every woman wonders, what every man is trying to find out.

The poets have sung the ravishing beauty of their mistresses for so long that we might think that a “gently curving eyelash" ts a charm a0 man can withstand. And of course « ‘man in jove doesn’t for one moment doubt that his is “the most beautiful woman in the world."’ fact, however, some of the ugliest women in history have exerted the strongest fascination for men.

But it has Its objections. Where is the energy to come from to accomplish that three ‘hours’ walk? The park 1s beautiful, the Drive a place of Joy, but pedestrianism is a lost art among New York ‘women. It is not in style and there is no incentive to cultivate it. But there is an even greater objection to this method of keeping young. It does away with investment in face ointments, discourage consultations with the doctor over fanciel ailments and wholly slights the complexion spe- clalist as a factor tn warding off wrinkles, It curtails the Pleasures of trying new remedies, warranted to be the best in the market. In a word, it will never do for New York women, be- gause of its simplicity, REGRETS FOR A LOST LEADER. The passing of Devery will be regarded with grief more or less poignant by thousands forgetful in their common sorrow of party affiliations, A multitude will mourn him.

It went over the ‘ridge to Brooklyn and it made votes for McClellan. “It wouldn't have been so bad for the fusionists it they had been content to abuse the town, but they abused something like 300,000 citizens who had made up their minds to vote for Tammany Hall. They threw accusa~ tions around like a man throwing paper snow on the stage. And, above all, they told the people of New York that they were foolish and ignorant. “ ‘Nobody,’ said the.fustonists, ‘is good but us. If you don’t vote for us you ought to be in Sing Sing.
