My Dear Martha: So far as conIicuous social events are concerned, society Is moat Inactive. The country house parties of the old time charming' variety were killed with the advent of bridge whist, and where men and women Indulge in out-door exhilarating sports you can only find abject slavery to the game of bridge. All manner of preparations are being: made for some ultra-fashionable weddings to occur in November. A relative of one bride-to-be has shown me her own frock for the event and you must ajrree that it is unique. The skirt is composed of five-inch bands of tucked, Ivory tinted net joined by narrow Irish crochet inserting and at the top of each band is the narrowest possible edge of sable, witli a wider band of the fur around the bottom. It is over a gold colored silk of the radium kind. The bodice is a Louis coat of canary colored satin elaborately embroidered with heavy gold threads. The collar and small vnli. r.ffi.ct o ra r.f Ir ish crochet, and the whole Is edged with cable wherever it Is possible to put the fur without over doing it. She is to wear a sable toque with flowing, yellow paradise plumage. Nets are to be extensively used for dinner and evening gowns. It Is called tulle by the Frnch modistes, but is is many degrees heavier than the material with which we associate that name. Another fur trimmed gown as beautiful as it is faddish is in the bride's trousseau. It is of brown rich golden brown chiffon broadcloth and has one wide and one smaller Greek key design done in very narrow bands of leopard skin. The coat is of the open front variety, tight fitting with short tails in the back and dull gold buttons. The waistcoat of the leopard skin is cut very high in the neck leaving an opening not more than three inches deep. It is doublebreasted with small gold buttons. These costumes are so striking tliey prove that no matter how costly or modest the material may be from which our frocks must be made, it is always well worth devoting gray matter to the achievement of originality in every sartorial department. A most fetching black and white frock is of inessaline. The skirt is very full with deep hem and two clusters of tucks twelve to each cluster. It is prlncesse with the deep plaits stitched flat over the hips and around the waist, and then, the fullness comes into play like a sunburst over a very handsome heavy lace. The oft material is drawn on each side into two points with one in the center ,andjthe same effect is in the back. The longest points extend up along the armholes several inches below the shoulder. The next are about an inch lower and the center one is to the bust line. Each point finishes with a jewelled button. This is a model easily copied in any soft material. The elbow sleeves are mousquetalre and quite tight with a turned back cult of the lace. There is an unusual holding back from New York this year; all seem reluctant to return to their city homes which are, in fact, closed eight months out of every year. There is an ever increasing unrest and desire for change strong enough to infect even the dust of the good, old Knickerbockers and ause the proverbial turning in their graves. Always, ; JANE. THEATRICAL NOTES. Mr. Milvvard Adams, director of the Chicago Auditorium, and the Klaw & Erlanger company, controlling the production of General Lew Wallace's "BenHur", have arranged to take especial care of theatre parties from out of town points during the engagement of "Ben-Hur" at the Auditorium theatre, beginning Monday evening. Oct. 15th. Since the announcement that this mighty play was again to be staged at the classic Chicago temple of amusement, the management have received so many inquiries as to railroad rates and requests for special prices for admission from educational institutions and fraternal organizations desiring to attend in a body that they have decided to make reduced rates to theatre parties, either from educational institutions, fraternal organizations, or from the general public. The various railroad3 entering the city of Chicago have agreed to cooperate by granting special rates. Full information will be furnished on application to Mr. Edward G. Cooke, Auditorium theatre, Chicago. The regular scale of prices that will govern the "Ben-Hur" engagement at the Auditorium are as follows: Lower floor on evenings and Saturday matinee, $1.50 and J1.00; Balcony, fl.00 and 73 cents; gallery, 50 cents. Wednesdaymatinees, entire lower floor, $1.00; entire balcony, 75 cents; gallery, 50 cents. Seats are now obtainable. Requests for reservation of seats must be accompanied by remittance and self-addressed, stamped envelope for reply, in order to avoid errors, and will be given prompt attention. AT GARRICK NEXT WEEK. Lena Ashwell. the famous London actress who scored such a triumph this summer in her latest and greatest footlight creation of the Boer wife, Deborah, in the heart-stirring drama of Transvaal life entitled "The Shulmmita," has for many seasons been recognized as one of the finest emotional actresses on the English speaking stage. To American followers of dramatic affairs on both sides of the Atlantic she is probabty best known as the original London creation of those two intensely dramatic roles which our stage has been able to give to the modern British stage the characters of Yo San in "The Darling of the Gods," and "Leah Kleschna." A full view of Miss Ashwell's brilliant enlevements in emotional art would be to name many of the most celebrated successes of John Bull's play houses since 1891. when she first made her debut in "The Pharisee," with George Alexander she appeared in "Lady Vindermere's Fan." Her initial engagement with Sir Henry Irving was in 1893 as Elaine in the sumptuous production of "King Arthur." and she was pronounced an artistic favorite with the Lyceum Knight. With Irving she played in "Richard II" and also originated the parts of l'ia and Geona in Sardou's "Dante." Beerbohm Tree specially secured her to create the role of Katusha Maslova in "Resurrection." It was she, too, who electrified all London play goers by her wonderful portrayal of the unhappy Magdalene in Henry Arthur Jones moving play,

"Mrs. Dane's Defense." Her interview scene with the judge, in which she Implored for mercy and pity in her newlife's love crisis, w.s the supreme sensation of the London theatrical year of 1S00. The Messrs. Schubert have been extremely fortunate in securing her consent to an American tour, just now when she has seemingly found an even more striking role of emotional triumph in "The Shulamite."

HYPNOTISTS. There are Hypnotists and Hypnotists, but the kings of the occult are the Flints. Herbert L. Flint is the first hypnotist to be called in a criminal case and have his testimony accepted as that of an expert. The feats that they do are simply marvelous and we n:4- well expect a packed house when they come to thir city. There is nothing in the world that equals their entertainments. This is the verdict of the entire press and public wherever they have been this season. Both are great. The Flints are past masters in the art of suggestion, especially that part pertaining to provoking laughter. Attorney O. Bruce, of Crown Point, was in Hammond today on legal business. A. B.

A Novel Way of Fishing. A correspondent "writes: As. I was walking along the promenade at East bourne recently I saw a gentleman, ; with a big black retriever dog, tied to a leash. I stopped and watched him; so did some more people. After awhile he let the dog go. H swam out to sea a little way and brought back what I thought was a walking stick. But as the dog got closer to shore, I saw there was some string attached to it, which turned out to be a fishing line, and, to the surprise of the people around him, it had on the end of it a small salmon bass, which weighed about four and onehalf pounds. - Surely this is a novel way of fishing! Weekly Telegraph. When the Dead Helped Trade. A Capt. Taylor, his wife and daugh ter, of old Brig house, England, were bun-led side by side, standing up in their graves. Two hundred years ago it was tha custom in England to keep an open coffin or chest in the pariah church, for common use, to carry the dead to the graveyard in. The body was wrapped in coarse linen, and held together with bone pins. A few years later an act was passed by parliament ordering that all bodies be wrapped in woolens Instead of linens, in order to build up or foster the woolen Industry, which was then in its infancy. The parish vicar was required to report that the burial took place in woolen according to the act. The Sunday Magazine. Feet of the Tonquinese. So peculiar is the formation of the feet that night and day the Tonquinese can run with perfect security over most dangerously rough and smooth places. From a narrow heel the feet broaden remarkably toward the toes, of which the great one is so separated from the others as to form with them a wide angle. And from the toes grow nails that can be fixed In the ground like hooks. This peculiarity in the feet of the natives of Tonquin has obtained for them among the Chinese the name Cao-Ci the people with the crooked toes. Rosary Magazine. Derivation of "Spelling." There is some doubt as to the derivation of the word "spelling." It is believed to be from the Anglo-Saxon word "spel," meaning discourse or story, and the verb "spelllan," to declare, relate, tell, as In "spell," a charm, and "gospel." However, there may have been some confusion with "spell," a slip of wood, since such a slip was used in old-time schools to point to the letters of a word, one after another, in spelling them out A Flower Clock. There was a queer gardener who thought of making a timepiece of a flower bed. Whether he ever did it or not, he said it could be done. He declared that the time Is known at which more than 50 kinds of flowers open and shut "For instance, a bed of common dandelions would show it was 5:30 In the morning, and at 8:30 at night, respectively, for these flowers open and shut at the times named, frequently to the minute. The common, hawkweed opens at eight in the morning, and may be depended upon to close within a few minutes of two in the af ternooa. Very Suggestive. "That burst of admiration from Miss Smart when young Flatboy showed her the picture of his country estate was quite an apostrophy to its beauty." "Yes, and don't you forget that the apostrophe is the sign of the posseslY? case."

"Picnic Suppers."Picnic suppers" were described In 1802 as a new fashionable craze In England. A list was compiled of the various dishes, each with a number against it. Then lots were drawn by the party, and each person had to provide the dish marked with the number he drew. Such suppers were known in the time of James I. and the word "picnic" was known to Lord Chesterfield. It is supposed to come from "pick," to eat, and "nick," a ' i.;AA TPrttBi rnllo rr 1c 1 I nacks." CATCHES DEER AND TROUT. Fisherman Breaks khz Record far One Line in a Day's Sport. To kill a deer and catch a treat at the same time out-Nlrmods and outIzaaks Walton. A fisherman has just done the trick on the Arrow lakes, says the Toronto Globe. The deer weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten. The fisherman was trolling for trout when several deer swam past his boat. One was an old buck and the man managed to catch hold of him as he was going by. Having no gun, he tried to kill the animal with a claspknife. The buck objected so strenuously that he got away, swimming off with the fishing line upon his horns. The fisherman bailed out his boat and started in pursuit. After two hours' rowing he caught up with the deer and with oars and knife succeeded In slaying It. While the chass was proceeding a big trout got on the hook and after the deer was safely landed the fish was secured. It is quite a common occurrence to see deer swimming in the lakes of British Columbia, but to capture one and a trout at the same time Is infrequent. SOME ONE HAD BLUNDERED. Information and Postmark In No Way In Accord. An editor said of the late Mrs. Craigie, or John Oliver Hobbes, as the brilliant American novelist was known: "I had the honor of dining with Mrs. Craigie during the London season at her beautiful house in Lancaster Gate. She lived there in great luxury with her father, who is a millionaire chemist Across the street dwells the earl of Meath, the marquis of Ailsa lives a few doors above, while next door Is the mansion of the earl of Dunmore, Scottish peer whose servants all wear the highlander costume, with the kilt, plaid and bare knees. "Mrs. Craigie was a superb mimic. Mimicry, as she had mastered it, is one of the fine arts. I remember well, that night at dinner, how she mimicked a silly, empty-headed little lady whose husband, a lover of gayety, was inclined to neglect his wife. "Mr3. Craigie told us that this lady, while spending the winter in the country, said one day at the country post ofSce: "'Dear me, what a silly mistake you post office people have made. "'How, madam?' asked the clerk. " 'Why,' she explained, with a titter, here I have ju3t gotten a letter from my husband, who is working hard in London, and the envelope is postnarked Monte Carlo." Umbrellas Put to New Use. The governor of Kiangsu recently took part in the opening of a railway. He was attended at the ceremony by a guard of Chinese soldiers dressed in khaki, with umbrellas carefully bound about their legs. London Evening EUndard.

BAKER Handshake Anguieh. A correspondent who Is one of the sex most liable to have Its hand pressed, thanks us for our protest against the "physical anguish" that is daily inflicted by the handshake. But this acute pain, she confesses, is brought about altogether by the wearing of rings on the right hand. No one could possibly apply the word "anguish" to anything felt by the underrated hand; but Is by no means too violent a name for what many fragile fingers undergo between the diamond and the ruby. Our corre spondent owns that an acute observer might see her ma.iy times furtively conveying all her right hand rings to the fingers of the left hand before a farewell likely to be hearty. Princeton Pastor a Humorist. The Rev. Dr. J. Addison Henry, for many years the Princeton pastor, had a keen sense of humor, and detested shams. Speaking of how useless to a congregation are the honorary degrees and titles that Its pastor might have, he told of one his daughter, Mrs. Obdyke, when a child, conferred upon him. It seems Dr. Henry wa3 attending one of the sessions of the general assembly and the little girl addressed a letter to him: "The Rev. J. Addison Henry, General Ass." He was famous as a punster, and his play of words on his name was often quoted. When the degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Princeton he remarked: "So A-D.-D.-Is-on Henry." With children he was irresistible. He told them, one day In speaking of prayer, that his little daughter one Christmas eve made the following supplication: "Oh, Lord, do please make the night very short and to-morrow very long." The text for his address on his fortieth anniversary was: "And Forty Years Have I Suffered These People."
