A new lawn tennis costume for men is as follows:
The upper part of the trousers is baggy and wrinkled. It closes in at the knee by a long tight band four inches wide, extending to the swell of the calf and fastened with not less than five buttons. Garters can be dispensed with.
Ten Scotch estates were recently offered for sale at auction, comprising nearly 120,000 acres, and every one was withdrawn for lack of sufficient bids.
To the novel colors invented for women's clothes of "crushed strawberry" and "whipped cream" has been added the color of "slapped baby."
A collection of 13,000 seals of the royal families of Europe was recently sold for 150 francs only.
Gounod's new mass was performed at Rheims last Sunday, dedicated to Joan d'Arc.
Coquelin has been engaged to play in Russia.
The jewels worn by the American ladies in London society have produced great talk.
The Queen spent £100,000 on her jubilee.
