[Special Correspondence.]
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—It is "on with the danco" just now, and when they are not dancing they are dining, visiting, holding receptions and going to the opera, and all these require women to wear the prettiest gowns they can find. They are not always costly, but those who wear such gowns and are in the social whirl of New York generally care little for expense. I have seen young ladies at high functions wearing wash mull frocks, and they made all those dressed in costly stuffs look cheap and garish. It depends more, I think, upon the girl than the dress. Yet
NEW EVENING DRESSES.
it would not surprise me a bit to hear that the heartfelt desire of Miss Muslin had been to wear one of the splondid drosses. The world is so.
The splendid dresses are so in reality, but they are not nearly as striking, nor do they appear as ornate as did those of a season ago. But they are much more tasteful now. One young lady wore one that might have been handed down to her for generations had it not been that a few generations back there were no such gowns worn by her ancestors, who were simple folk who thought an alpaca dress bloated luxury. But the dross looked that way, and few looked beyond it. It was of superb swansdown silk, with pompadour figures of trailing lines of flowers—pink roses and foliage on a frosty sage green ground. All around the bottom of the skirt was a festooned lierre lace flounco, with little bows of moss greon velvet ribbon set at equal distance. The waist was pointed—almost all waists are pointed now—and the silk was gathered at the neck and drawn down to the point under a narrow draped velvet belt. The sleeves were triple puffs of pink crape, and across the bust there was a drapery of green velvet, like a bertha, having bows of the same on the shoulder. A pert little bow of velvet was arranged in the hair, and that mado the whole costume bear a sort of impertinent air altogether taking—or fetching.
Another "splendid" dress wasof golden peau de soie and mordore velvet. The front of the skirt was of the gold colored silk, with a row of amber beads down each front seam. On the beads were set five bows of mordore velvet ribbon. The stomacher was of sulphur colored silk muslin laid in flutes. The sleeves were two deep flounces of fluted silk muslin, while all the rest of the bodice was of the mordore velvet. The back was cut princess form and of the velvet, and it formed a train quite long, though not exactly a full one. The lower part of the bodice was richly embroidored with amber beads. The velvet shoulder knots and the graceful draping down the front made this bodice one to remember when one felt that times are out of joint and the leaves all gone from the trees.
I do not quite remember having mentioned the beautiful new beading and ornaments for evening waists. This comes in sets of front piece, shoulder pieces and another piece rather less elaborate for the back. The belt is made to match, and in a point. The beads are imitations, and very clever imitations, too, of pearls, wrought in various scroll designs, with here and there a larger bead of polished silver. This combination of white and silver is exquisite. One waist made in this style had a slight blouse effect. The beaded trimming extended around the neck, falling over the shoulders and having chains drooping down over the sleeves and in front. The gown was of pale pink, and that threw up the pearls into remarkable prominence.
There are some of the funniest looking fans this season that were ever carried into polite society. They are made of eagles' feathers, and also from the ugly feathors of the turkey buzzard, but they are pronounced wonderful. Then there are quaint little affairs of ivory and silk scarcely larger than one's hand. One had sticks of inlaid ebony, and a soft green crape border, and this was delicately embroidered in black tracery.
There is little variation in gloves or shoes from those offered at the beginning of the season. And evening wraps and capes are of whatever one likes best, but the now summer gowns have come, and they are too pretty to talk about. The linen lawns and sheer batistes lead just now and find eager purchasers. The del-
EVENING BODICE AND NEW FANS. icato figures printed upon them take away one's.breath, so fragile they look and yet so lovely. These, with the organdies and sheer lawns, are the finest. There is an unusually long list of cottons and ginghams, also linen ginghams. Ducks, galateas and a stuff very like denim are shown in now colors and thicker or thinnor weaves. There is quite a run for the madras linens, which are entirely new. Grasscloth in natural color is shown, and all these goods are polka dotted, striped, plaided or printed in suoh great variety that all may be suited. It is good penitential practice for Lenten days to sew *hese pretty gowns, and that is why they ire shown so soon. Olive Harpkr.

FRANCOIS COPPEE AND HIS FRIENDS IN THE JARDiN DU LUXEMBOURG.
It Is a Touching Sight to Watch the Pore Feed His Pets In a Public Garden— Man Who Is Loved by All and Is "De ir
Master" to the Students.
Francois Coppee, the author of "Tor the King," has a great many friends in Paris, but none of them is more dovoted than the little birds that live in the Jardin du Luxembourg. They know him as soon as they see him come in at one of the wide gates, his shoulders drooping, his head hanging forward, liis face pale from ill health. They know in just which one of his pockets he carries the big piece of bread which he is going to divide into crumbs for their benefit, and they probably say in their own special language: "Ah, here is Friend Coppee, bless him!"
They are not the only ones that know what Coppee has in his pocket. All the Latin quarter people who come and go through that corner of the Luxembourg garden which faces the Odeon know that the gentle author rarely misses a day in his devotion to the birds. And when he appears with a peculiar swollen appearance about one of his pockets they draw quietly off to a respectful distance to watch.
As soon as the circle of spectators— workmen in blue blouses, students in corduroy and slouch hats, nursemaids with barelegged children—as soon as these elements, which might possibly be disturbing, have taken themselves i'ar enough cut of tho way, the birds clo.vi in around the poet until sometimes hundred of them will be fluttering about his head or hopping about his feet. Then he takes out his piece of bread, and crumbling off ono corner tosres a morsel up in the air. Instantly there is a flutter of wings, and two or three of the birds dart upward, and the most fortunate one catches the crumb in its flight and settles down again to his place in the flock.
One crumb after another is thrown out in this direction and that, and occasionally a few are scattered on the ground, so that the less adventurous and weaker spirits may have their share. Finally a good fat crumb is pinched off, but not thrown. It is held invitingly between the thumb and finger, while the poet looks at his birds as nmo1, as to say: "Come, come. You know your friend Coppee. Give me a proof of your affection, as I am giving you a proof of mine."
There is a great flutter then among the birds, a great cocking of pretty heads, much sharp glancing of bright eyes. Finally one particularly brave little creature makes a wide curve toward the imprisoned crumb, but his courage deserts him on the way, and he circles back to his place without the prize. Coppee rubs the crumb a little, so that a tiny morsel of it falls to the ground, where it is quickly picked up. It is as if he said to his small flock: "See, my little friends, it is a good crumb. Where is your confidence? Have I ever betrayed you?"
As if ashamed of having hesitated so long, a bird makes a dart toward the outstretched hand, poises with fluttering wings above it, picks daintily at the crumb and then bears it away triumphantly in its bill. After that it all goes merry as a marriage bell. Two or three birds will be eating from his hand at the same time. They light on his shoulder, on his arm, on his hat.
The spectators meanwhile are full of breathless interest. A child whose loud cry of delight startled the birds into sudden flight is unceremoniously jerked back by his nurse with an emphatic "Tais-toi." The students talk in an undertone about the dear master, as they call Coppee.
Last winter, when there was an unusual amount of snow in Paris, Coppee was particularly attentive to the wants of his birds, which in their tarn were more than ever appreciative of his good offices, for the snow made pretty poor picking for them. And on cold days it was no uncommon sight to see the students rush up to the poet after he had finished his dole and turn up his coat collar or tighten his muffler or button his overcoat. "Dear master," they would say affectionately, "you must be more careful of yourself. You know you are not strong, and it is cold, and we need you as much as the birds do."
To the birds and the students he is always the dear master.'' It was Coppee who wrote and read the poem for the unveiling of the bust of Henri Murger in that same Jardin du Luxembourg. Murger's name is idolized by the whole Latin quarter, and it is doubtful if the students would have permitted any one of whom they did not approve to take part in the ceremonies at the unveiling of his monument.
Cqppee is not married, although, in French fashion, he has a friend to whom he makes mysterious references in his writings as one who is dear to him and in whose heart he knows he will leave inconsolable regret when he dies. However that may be, he will be snre of plenty of sincere mourners—the students of the Latin quarter and the birds of the Jardin du Luxembourg.—New York Sun.
Windproof.
A farmer in the Kansas cyclone district was building a stone wall. He was putting it there to stay, building it 5 feet across the base and 4 feet high. A stranger came riding by, and seeing the care the farmer was taking said to him, "You seem to be mighty careful about that wall." "Yep," replied the farmer, "I'm er building her to stay." 'Tain't no use," replied the stranger, "it'll blow over just the same." "Waal, let her blow over, she'll be afoot higher if she does," replied the farmer, continuing his work.-—San Francisco Argonaut.
