left in New York City In passing one of these remnants of a bygone phase of New York vice and having my ears commanded willynilly by the loud banging of a piano and the blaring of a cornet my eyes fell on what looked like a coatofarms paint I ed into the redlettered name of the re sort The dev tn WJIH in cnni new f 1 vu uuvii iiuiiucb < ill cord with the rules of heraldry that I stopped to inspect it and then to find out why it was there at all My investigation satisfied inc that the keeper of this vile place was a genuineItalian count entitled by birth to use the escutcheon which he was so shamefully blotching There was nothing astonishing in the discovery THE JOKE HOUl YOUR WAITER At a fashionable New York restaurant being possibly an Italian nobleman has a basis in fact These aristocrats accept the t vicissitudes of fortunehunting when adventurously come to America in the same spirit that some of the Argonauts Argo-nauts of early California days failing to dig golden fortunes from the mines took to auriferous accumulation by the greasier means of feeding the miners No Italian adventurer ever thinks of making his home here His aim is to get the small sum as estimated by our standard of wealth which will enable him to return to Italy independently rich Therefore he is willing to endure discomforTof mind or body so long as his bank account is steadily growing The ITALIANS ARE TIlE LOWEST OP NEW YORKERS In squalor and degradation though that condition is largely voluntary with them and so it is not surprising that one of Italys plenteous counts keeps a cellar bagnio in Chatham square with his family fam-ily crest over the doorway Well it is hard to discriminate nicely between pride and vanity JIEKE IS EXPRESIDENT CHESTER A ARTHUR Ought he to pose during the rest of his life or return to the level of common flairs The question is understood to have been decided for him by the state of his fortune His most intimate friend Steve French one of our police commis sioners tells me that he has no more than 75000 to his namea sum quite insufficient insuffi-cient to support him in pleasant idleness That is just about the same sum that he had on going into the campaign which elected him to the vicepresidency lIe did not spend all his salary of 5U000 a year during his presidency up to the time when the struggle for nomination began be-gan about a year ago though he gave many costly entertainments in the White House but what he saved was absorbed in his efforts to be chosen by his party for the place into which chance had put him Very expensive public meetings in his advocacy were held in this city a big delegation was sent to Chicago the services ser-vices of numerous politicians were commanded com-manded and Arthur paid every bill out of his own pocket I have it from an acquaintance ac-quaintance of his that his present poor health began with and was caused by the anxiety and disappointment of that canvass The cares of the presidency never bore heavily upon him he enjoyed the social side of White House life immensely im-mensely his administration had no disasters dis-asters and only his failure to get a nomination nom-ination which as he felt was his just due broke him down physically He has just returned to New York visibly feeble The law offices which Arthur has fitted up for his luxurious occupancy adjoin the I rooms of the Chamber of Commerce i The reason for this is that he expects to strike right into a remunerative practice in cases arising from the business of importation im-portation He was the collector of the port once and thus became familiar with the methods of the custom house the weight of his influence may properly be considered as an element of success in that direction the specialty will enable I him more than almost any other in the legal profession here to do a large business busi-ness as an advisor without being compelled com-pelled to figure much in courts and altogether I alto-gether his new choice of avocation is wise I wiseWill he take control of Republican j party management in New York I asked askedHe He will not was the positive reply lIe will remain entirely dignified With a view to availability as candidate candi-date in 1888 Ohconjecture for yourself It must be depressing to have to keep ones mind so closely on deportment as Arthur will be to do in compelled case he I has really set out upon such an undertaking undertak-ing He must have his mind constantly on his gait That reminds me of SADIE MARTINOT A HANDSOME ACTRESS Now employed at the Lyceum theatre in a role permitting her to wear beautiful costumes She makes six changes of raiment during the play and each toilet is so elaborate that I wonder how they can be got on and off in the intervals of her acting They are of widely various character from neat walking dress to an intricately involved evening makeup and it may be new to you as it was tome until I learned it from this example that a harmonious carriage ought to go with every distinctive costume The outdoor gown of Miss Martinets is a simple thing short as to skirt and leaving the accompanying accom-panying gaiters exposed while the EVENING COSTUME DRAGS ON TIlE FLOOR And is chiefly remarkable for a lack of underskirts so that the satin exterior seems to be superimposed on nothing at all except the very palatable limbs of the fair wearer If you will for a moment consider the different conditions imposed on the actress by these two dresses you will comprehend that in the one she must be careful to use her feet gracefully without with-out much reference to the limbs while in the other the feet are concealed and every movement of the limbs is as clearly revealed I re-vealed as though she were a skirtless ballet girl With your understanding thus educated you will be able to appreciate appre-ciate the distress of the dear girl when she exclaimed after the first performance perform-ance GOODNESS GRACIOUS IVE RUINED EVERYTHING EVERY-THING I was confused dont you know and what under heaven did I do but introduce intro-duce all the business of the walking costume when I was wearing the evening toilet and vice versa The airs and graces 01 women by the way has this week been audaciously imitated imi-tated in public by some of our most devotedly de-votedly fashionable young men Games
