gernld Tiny Appear Oat "on the Avenue." [Copyright, 1S&5J
New York does appreciate the aunahlne. If you happen to be here you oan prove the truth of my assertion by "walking from Twenty-third street-up the "I'lfth avenue, in with the procession.
The prettiest women In the gayest frocks the smartest-looking nurses, aproned and capped, with their charges in perambulators, gay with bright ribbons and line laces, all sorts and conditions of men, all kinds of carriages, and, indeed, everything that can walk, manage to be out on a Saturday afternoon with the Test of the world. The feminine part of It d.-ifts into the big soda water places, criticises each other's gowns and bonnets, as well as the flavor of the preferred drink. In their little bonnets and fancy lace bibs, the women all look young and innocent, and in the spring Bunshine it is a pity that we cannot think they are all young and innocent. Constitute yourself one of a group in the window of a swell restaurant—the smartest one In town. Put your monocle in the weak eye and look out. I will stand beside you and tell you who they are—tell you the names of the people who go to help make up "all New York." "The little woman with golden brown liair, sweet pure skin, eyes down dropped like the Madonnas—wearing a quiet dainty frock, a tiny bonnet and a spotted veil—the very expression of quiet, good breeding—who Is it?" Cissy Fitzgerald 1
SHE 18 WINKING ON TH'B ASH BARREL,
but not in propria personae, which might be translated to mean that, off the stage and having no connection with an affiche (which is what we call a poster nowadays), Miss Cecelia Fitzgerald is a very proper young person. The man Just behind her, fast looking, over-dressed and flushed, either with excitement or whiskey—well, he is the man who some years ago broke the bank, not at Monte Carlo, oh! dear, no, at a much more vulgar place, still it.was all written about, and was the beginning of his descent into Avernus. Well dresbedT Yes. A little too much color', a lifue too many jewels for the afternoon, and the air of being a little too certain that her bonnet pin is set with diamonds, while that of the woman nearher shows only Rhinestones. Why, that is tbe wife of a man who made a fortune in Chioago, who is spending it in Washington and London, and who is the Mrs. Malaprop of to-day. Her latest? Yes, everybody is laughing at it. She said at a luncheon,

girls say 1
am always using the wrong word. Idon't care if I am. Anybody is likely to make a lapis lazuli.' She had done it again I Vulgar? Yes, but most everybody is •vulgar nowadays.
Ti-ere is a lady, a good figure, a proper carriage, and a handsome gown suited^ to her age and her position. Who is iff Mrs. Walcot, the actress, who always plays the part of the chaperon on the qtage, and who doesn't need to play it, but is a weil-bred woman off the stage. Next, don't you recognize him? Well, he had frocks on the last time you saw him. Yon called him Baby MoEee. Nowadays he wouldn't answer unless he was addressed as Ben. He is a sturdy looking little chap, and the gentleman he is walking with is his most ardent
THE STUDY of the action of medicines, or vegetable compounds, upon the stomach, and testa in many hundreds of cases, long ago convinced Doctor R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., that all cases of Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint could be cured permanently if the right treatment were given. In support of his belief that he had discovered an alterative extract which he called Golden Medical Discovery," that would cure these diseases, he collected from all parts of the country the evidence of those who had used hb medicine, and he has asked the public to investigate for themselves, as he would be glad to furnish the names and addresses of thousands of people who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. All interested should send for a little medical treatise on Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea, "Liver Complaint," Biliousness, Constipation and Piles, published by the World's Dispensary Medical Association,
Buffalo, N. Y., and mailed on receipt of six cents in one-cent stamps. This book also contains the photographs and testimony of many persons who have suffered from diseases of the digestive organs. INDI0B3TI0N SEVERE PAIN IN STOMACH.
THOMAS PCKTCHRR, of Gifto* Station, Fairfax Co., Va., writes: "I nuflfered the terrible tortures for ten years with what yoor for. Pierce's Common

hat to Mr, Harrison, my friend—he ww» a good President, an honoat man, and take him all in all, la better informed aa to the great questions of the day than any other politician.
AN INDIAN? OH, DBAB, NO,
A member of the Wild Weat show? Nonsense. That i» Roger Pryor Though, with hla long black hair and bronsed face, I am not surprised at yoor thinking he was an Indian but, instead he is one of the courteous Southern gentlemen whose worth baa been recognized and rewarded by New York. A pretty woman that, features as delioate and aa clean out as a cameo. Color, like a sea shell. On one side of her two beautiful boys, on the other a pretty girl child. It is fashionable nowadays to be a mother. Yes, that Is Mrs. Burke-Roche, one of the prettiest women in the city and just behind her is one of the brightest. The only woman who reads Browning un derstandingly and makes her listeners understand it a wholesome looking wo man, a gentle woman. You used to oall her SarahjCoweli, but she has added Le Moyne to her name, and where, in her pretty apartment, she seemed at one time a host in herself, you now realize that two interesting people are, after all, more delightful than one, especially when these two people are Mr. and Mrs. Le Moyne.
Large, rosy, well dressed, beaming over the whole world, oomea Robert Ingersoll. No, I don't like him, not even his appearanoe. It is too unotuous. His books? I have never read them. When I want good opinions on agnosticism I go to the fountain head and get them in good English, not vulgarized into blasphemy to suit the hoi pollol. They say be has beautiful daughters they say his home life is a lovely one. That may be, and yet, and yet—well, I have the privilege of disliking people even If I don't know them. Yes, she is beautiful, beautiful after the fashion of some exquisite flower. A very dainty flower and jnst now she is at the height of her beauty, and just now she is singing better than she ever did before. I oan understand men falling in love with her.
PERFECT BEAUTY IS SO BABE,
And the tiny tot beside her is a reflection of this beauty. They are Lilian Russell and her daughter. There has never been an English actress who is so lovely as this woman, who is purely an American, and sometimes I permit myself to grow very angry because I do not think her beauty is appreciated by her country people as it ought to be. A big man taking long strides, wearing a huge monocle and looking as if he would be specially at home playing cricket—a professional athlete? Oh, dear, no. That is Dr. Rainsford, of St. George's Church, and he is a man who does a deal of good, and does it, I think, beoause he is so human. A sinner doesn't feel a million miles away from him, and they dare ask him for help. A man dressed in the tip of fashion is behind him, a man whose face is rather handsome, but whose mouth is never still. What Is he doing? Chewing gum, my friend. Permit me—Reginald de Koven, the writer of some good and some very bad music. Walking with his wife, such a pretty woman, Is a smooth faced man, extreme ly short-sighted and looking like a writer or a student, or anything but what he is—an actor I am almost tempt ed to say "the" actor, because he is the only one on the American stage to-day who has the courage of originality and the determination of genius, Mr. Richard Mansfield. a
A PRETTY WOMAN JOURNALIST
Another pretty woman, after the fashion of the New Yorker—large, wellshaped, carrying herself well and with her beautiful brown hair braided and pinned closely to her head her cloth gown fits her perfectly her large hat is in harmony with it, and if you thought about a word for her general appearance 'correct" would seem the right one. Yet more of her time is given to her pen than to her dressmaker—she la Edith Sessions Tupper, the journalist. A woman whose versatility is her charm. To-day she writes a story that brings the tears to your eyes to-morrow' a clever letter that interests you, and ths next day, well, the next day she does something else quite different from the two before, and yet she is the best of housekeepers, the proof of which is ajar of preserved strawberries on the shelf of my pantry that came with her compliments. Large, luscions and red, they look out through the glass as If to tempt one to take them with an afternoon tea.
Make your best bow to Aunt Louisa. Chirpy looking and well dressed, she walks along as quiokly as if she hadn't a care in the world, and yet It is part of her duty In life to look after those who are sick and In trouble, and to give tbe helping hand where it is most needed. Say with me, "God bless Aunt Louisa may she live long and prosper." A man In along frock ooat as full as a woman's petticoat a man with a hard face and a (lushed one. Three or four years ago be led the army of dudes, but now they have another ruler and he is forgotten—
FORGOTTEN WITHOUT BEING DHADZ-F
It is a miserable state of affairs, and he is a miserable man. A rather masculine looking woman, and yet she is not masculine woman except as far aa the strength of her brain is ooncerned. Gowned in the severest of tailor get-ups, swinging her arms as she walks, and looking as if her thoughts were far away from the frivolous crowd, oomea Jean nette Gilder, editor of a paper, and to my way of thinking a deal cleverer than her brothers. To yon she looks like a severe woman you should see her with a little child she has adopted, the child of a dead sister. When *he looks at that ohlld her face change* nt.d becomes the incarnation of woiuauil 1 ness, and you feel as if yon must apolo-
•sell
fi%6 even far counting her aa belngill brain. Ob, no, my friend, the brain i» there, but "«o is the heart, A who)* crowd of school girls, gay, happy, out under the oare of a teacher, and deter mined to have a lark. They have been to the matinee, and now they are going to get,soda and to boy the half pound of sweets which Is the amount permitted to eaoh girl, Who wouldn't be young? It is a lovely thing only appreciated when it is gone. That is a French hfrt, with its bell crown, and its broad brim it couldn't have been made on this aide of the water, and it is worn by one of tbe dapper army of little Frenchmen who spent last winter in New York, dancing, and flirting, dining and wining, hoping to win the heart, or at least the bank book of an Amerloan heiress,
MAIDENS, DOGS AND BABIES,
All American girls are not fools. And they know that, generalizing, most of their fathers have been honest men, and so, they can hope to have for husbands men born in their own country. Here is tbe daughter of a millionaire, quietly dressed and not wearing a jewel. She Is unattended, except by a small fox terrier, who dances around her as if he would like to tell her how good life Is, even a dog's life. He is a fashionable dog, is the fox terrier he is such a knowing little puppy, and he oan outstare any woman, even If her lorgnettes are gold framed. He oan be very embarrassing with his stare, that seems to say,
4I
know an awful lot about you, and some day I may speak." In the passing show there come pretty girls and ugly girls gay ones and quiet ones well dressed girls and girls who are dowdies men of good repute and men whom wise men and women would rather not know. There are babies of all kinds, the million dollar one, whose nurse is subservient to that other nurse who guards the seven million baby there are ohildren In silk and ohlldren in cot ton those in silk usually belong to people who can't afford it, and those in cotton are the children belonging to the swell set who know that childhood does not need fine feathers to add to its beauty. There are brunettes and blondes truly, all sorts and conditions, and they all go to make up the proces sion that walks from Twenty-third street up Fifth avenue.
Then we went home to tea. There I found, waiting to see me and to partake of that cup that fetohes one up even if it doesn't intoxicate, a blonde and a brunette, and this was their chatter. Said the brunette: "Of course, you know I am engaged to Algy. I do love him and I always shall, consequently I write anything to him that I want and I have implicit confidence in him." jajLi,
VALETS, EXECUTOBS AND LOVEi "Ah," said the blonde, with the blonde ooldness of thought, "Put notvyour con fidence, especially where letters are concerned, in any man. For, even if he is honorable about them himself, his valet will have the felicity of knowing how you feel and how you express your feelings. A good valet considers that his first duty to his master is to read his letters and so be able to understand his varying moods. If -Algy should die, his executors would have a feast of reason or a lack of it as they read your coirespondence, and there is always a likelihood of your having a row, of his marrying somebody else, and of her dis covering how awfully gone on him you were by reading your letters." "But, I am sure." said the affectionate brunette, "that he loves me the best in all the world." yfH "My dear, aear child," caifle plaintively from the blonde, "a man always loves the best in the world that woman to whom he is talking and to whom he has sworn vows of constancy, until he meets another one more attractive. That is the trouble with you brunettes. You love a man too much you make him positive that he fills your whole life, and that he is all you think about. Then he gets tired of you. Just convince a man that he Is secondary and he Is like the dog you whip—he is never satisfied until he kisses the hand that punished him. Faithfulness in word and deed is something utterly unknown to the general man. He may love a woman as much as he knows how, but he hasn't the moral courage to stand up for her when other women talk against her. His excuse usually is that he doesn't want to oompromise her, whioh generally means that he doesn't want to get the Ill-will of the rest of the orowd. You brunettes are entirely too affectionate. Cultivate a little more brain and a little less heart If you want to keep a man, and make him feel that he is secondary to ycur dogs, your books and your frocks, and he is yours forever."
And the only man who was there, under the pretense of wanting another cup of tea, said to me, "Dear, dear, where did that blonde learn all this?"
And I answered, "By using her eyes, not to mention the watching other women and getting wisdom from their experience."
And he said, "But 1 like an affectionate woman."
And I said, "Wake up the heart of a blonde and yon will get love and intellect, the beet combination possible in a life companion."
Then the man said, "How do you know?" And I said: "Because men have told me their experience, and then I am a bliMi.ie."
DOGS AND FRIENDSHIP.
And the man laughed, and I laughed, and the fox terrier laughed. And tbe fox terrier, who was the wisest of the party, gave me a look, and I think be winked. But then, I think dogs know an awful lot, blese their honest souls! They don't cheat—they don't get drank —they don't break women's hearts oh, no, it Is their superior—man—who does all thai. They are only dog*. Bat they
are tbe best companions, the truest friends, and tbe most loving playmates in tbe world. They don't care whether yoq are a sinner or a saint, If a dog is your friend, he loves you because you are you, and a dog's friendship is worth having. It only dies with bis death, and I don't know that it dies theo, because a hereafter with no dogs in it would be a mighty poor state of affaire. At least, that is what I think. I, who have got a dog for a good friend, a dog who turns around and offers me his paw to prove bow well be knows me, even if somebody only calls, as if in proof i)iAT I existed. BAB.
HYPNOTIZED VILLAGE
Strange Mania That Has Recently Attacked a Connecticut Community. Tho village of Huntington, Conn., lias been attacked during the last few weeks by a strange mania. Many persons act as if bewitched, others believe themselves to be under the hypnotic influence of stronger natures, while still others ascribe the strange power to spiritual exaltation.
The authorities have taken a serious view of the matter and have passed a law against the witchery and forbidden any one to practice hypnotism under penalty of $25 fine for each offense.
The craze started more than a month ago, when there appeared at the public hall one Professor Come, whom the handbills proclaimed "a famous hypnotist. Such an entertainment was a rare occurrence in the place, and the people flocked to see the. evidences of his marvelous powers. In the village were several followers of Swedenborg, and they had dreamed dreams like their beloved teacher and were prepared to believe, but the Methodists of the village ware skeptical and did not take "much stock" in the professor.
Corne was persuaded to repeat his lecture a third time. The unbelievers were present and even took their places on the stage as "good subjects," and by the influence of the professor ate olives for apricots, drank water out of empty glasses and barked like dogs.
The mania seized the whole town, and the contagion became general. Business was negleoted, because everybody flocked to the hall. School children hypnotized teachers to escape punishment. Old soaks hypnotized bartenders, so that they gave $2 in change for $1 bills. Young men, on the other hand, became hypnotized by their sweethearts, so they could not go home at 10 o'clock, as tradition has always prescribed there. —New York Recorder.

Senator Brice's Daughters on Wheels.
The two daughters of Senator Brice, tyho have been favorites in Washington society, will soon sail for Europe with the intention of making a bicycle tour of France. The trip will be made in company with friends, many of them from this country, and will extend to the most picturesque highways and byways remote from the usual lines of traveL For the past two summers the Misses Brice have traveled abroad in the manner that wealthy Americans usually see the continent, so that the present departure from the conventional will be all the more enjoyable. The trip will occupy the entire summer. In anticipation of it the young ladies who will take part in it are now having some very pretty bicycling costumes fashioned wherewith to dazzle the eyes of the peasantry of France.—Chicago TimesHerald.
