WHAT IT COST TO BE PRESENTED.
A 'Iimusaml Dollars if Judiciously Use-d
\\'iIl About Cover It. . .
Ev‘ery' season as many American
girls as can afford the distinction in—
dulge in being presented to Queen Vic-
toria, to the great joy of that part of
English society which is engaged in
providing court costumes.
A court dress, know ye, all ye dam-
sels‘ with slim purses and ambitious
longings to press your lips to Queen
Victoria’s pudgy hands, may not be
economically fashiOned at home. It is
not to be made by day seamstresses
and paper patterns. ~ A court dressma—
ker is required to make the costume
and the court dressmaker trust, so to
speak, profits by the absence of compe-
tition and keeps prices up. .
When you are going to be present-
ed to Her Majesty‘ or to the Princess,
to whom at the last moment she fre-
quently delegates the tiresome duty of
receiving you, you go to live in London
long enough to have your gown made,
at least. London is ,a costly town to
live in when you are living in prepara-
tion for your presentation.
Your gown, with its court train and
its regulation d-ecollette bodice—and no
age is so advanced as to preclude that.
low neck—will represent at least $500
of your good American money. You
can make it cost a great deal more.
But if you are content to go simply,
the dressmaker will contrive to pull
you through on that.
Being an American you don’t know
about .the ceremonies connected with
bowing before the Empress of India.
But there are kindly Englishwomen
who will teach you all about it—for a
consideration. You take two or three
lessons in the art of bowing before roy-
alty without falling over your train,
of kissing a queen’s hand without loud-
ly “smacking” it, of getting out of a.
queen’s presence by backing. Fifty
dollars will pay for a lesson, but by
the time you are proficient, $150 or $200
will have been expended.
For underwear to wear with the
shimmering piece of satin and tulle
you will require about a hundred more
dollars. That will give you silk stock-
ings, a silk union suit, a pair of spe-
cially made satin corsets, a silk under-
waist and. petticoat. Your court slip-
pers will cost ten.
On the eventful day a court hair-
dresser will come and pile your locks
into an Eiffel tower coiffure. You will
pay $15 for that; for getting one’s hair
dressed for a presentation is not like
getting it dressed for a dance at home.
Your bouquet will cost $25 more.
But you are not through then. There
is your fan~a trifle worth $25—and
your gloves, for $5. Your carriage will
cost $20 for the day. Your maid, if you
don’t indulge in that luxury as a mat-
ter of ordinary use, wil cost $20 more,
Then you will have left of the $1,000
check which you solemnly assured
your father would see you through and
leave much for charity, a meagre $30
to pay all the small fees to flunkies.
Your carriage will wait hours in
line; you will be stared at by the mob;
you will shiver for a long time in the
palace; you Will have a trembling mo-
ment of bowing before a fat little old
lady; you will have a gown impossible
to wear again in that form, and it will
cost you $1,000.—New York Journal.
Tommy as a Champion Adviser.
Tommy was all excitement because
the visiting lecturer was to take din—
ner at the house, but had promised to
be on. his best behavior during the
meal. The determination to be polite
was so strong upon him that he felt
it incumbent to show his good will.
"Where is Mrs. Lecturer?” Tommy
asked explosively, in pursuance of his
conscientious promptings. This was
the most embarrassing question that
could have been propounded, for .the
guest and his wife had separated. He
pretended not to hear, while the host‘
kicked Tommy on the shins. He real~
ized that he had blundered, and felt
that he must make amends.
. “I hope she’s not sick,” persisted the
urchin.
“We did not agree, and we thought
it best to live apart,” said the visitor,
with a View to ending the unple'-:i_’1.nt-
ness. ..
“Didn’t agree?” exclaimed Tammy
excitedly. ' “Thunder! Why didn’t
does?” ' x
This opened the way for a hearty
laugh, and the atmosphere was cleared.

Big Payment to Have His Hair Cut.
Probably the sum recently spent by
Baron Steengracht, of Holland, to have
for extravagance. He commonly lives
in London and patronizes the barb-3r
shop of Truefitt, the Burlington A:-
cade and No. 13 Old Bond street. A
telegram was received by Truefitt a
short time ago from the Baron, dated
St. Petersburg, saying that he would be
in Berlin at a certain hotel on such a
date and desired thata man be sent
from T‘ruefitt’s to cut his hair. The
man was sent as.deslred, and cut the
Baron’s hair, returning to London the
following day. The Baron promptly
paid the bill, amounting to £33, or
about $150, which covered the expense
of’the trip, etc., and was perhaps the
largest amount ever paid for a single
haircut.——New York Tribune.
Bright Exruse.
_“Shift1ess as ever, Thomas?” said the
wealthy uncle. “Still making a failure
of life, as you always have done?”
“I don’t know that I’m such a'ter-
rible failure,” sulkily answered the
poor relation.

AYoung Man Prisoner was Treated with
Great Courtesy by His Captor.
Numerous stories have been told of
persons being abducted by ourangeou-
tangs, carried to their retreats and
treated with the utmost politeness,
says the Detroit Free Press.‘ In 1864
a young Bornean was missing, and his
friends concluded to ferret the mys-
tery. Well armed, they started to
search through the jungles, and on the
fifth, day, discovered on the bank of
the Sakarang River the clothes and
sword of their friend. Suddenly they
heard a voice, and following up the
sound, discovered the missing fellow
high up in a tree with an ourang—ou-
tang by his side. A rifle shot brought
the huge animal to the ground, when
the happy man descended and told Of
his strange adventure.
He had been 'out hunting, and had
gone to the river to bathe. Upon re-
turning he was seized by the arms by
the animal, and was compelled to fol-
low it. They arrived at the foot of a
certain tree, where the youth made a.
hasty but involuntary ascent to the
top, where he found himself a prisoner
he remained, his weird hostess gra-
ciously supplying him every day with
fruits and vegetables, and bringing
water in a cocoanut shell.
Investigation has proved that such
facts are indisputable. The conviction
is also shared by St. John, the author
of a book on Bornean travels.
“'eather Signals on Street Cars. ‘\..
The trolley car has been utilized for
all sorts of local announcements, with-
ex-cellent results, especially in small
communities, doing in its way much
of the work that the old bell crier was
suppOsed to exist for. On rainy days
a village car will often save the school
children a useless tramp by carrying
a placard with the inscription, “No
school to-day,” and in some places the
local weather bureau now notifies the
road of prospective meteorological
changes, and the cars, as they go out
of the car barn, mount the appropri-
ate signal in the shape of a flag, flying
between the trolley pole and the car.
People can thus tell at a glance by the
passing car whether toearry an um-
brella or not, and what sort of an
overcoat to wean—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
. Sticking to Rules.
There is a good old story of a Gen-
eral whose death was announced in a
newspaper by mistake, a circumstance
which annoyed him very much. He
called on the editor and demanded
that a contradiction should be insert~
ed in the next issue. “That, General,”
was the editor’s reply, “is quite out of
the questiOIi. We never apologize and
we never withdraw a statement; but
I’ll tell you what we’ll do for you.
We’ll put you in the ‘Births’ next
week.”——San Francisco Argonaut.
Hardship of 3 Patriot.
“Williamfyou have made us wait
supper for you nearly two hours.”
“I’ve been reading the bulletins from
Washington.”
“And I’ve had to carry in the coal
and kindling wood myself.” .
“That isn’t anything to what I’ve
had to suffer. I’ve had all my corns
crushed, caught a. cold and lengthened
my neck four inches. We’ve all got
to put up with some‘ inconveniences

da. 1 wish you would warm these po-

Added Horrors.
“Civilization,” said the escaped mis-
sionary, ‘-‘in the hands of the raw, im-
pulsive and untut-ored savage is not an
unmixed boo-n. ,I am sure that it did
not detract from the horrors of my
captivity to hear the natives, as they

One day an Irishman was taking a
