'Y FRIEND, ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE GOOD FIGHT?" “YOu BET WE ARE! He'LL TACKLE ANYTHING OF HIS WEIGHT IN THE COUNTRY!" IN THE WORLD OF FASHION. R. J. HANSOM NOSELEIGH selects his own sus- penders. He is one of the best dressed men in the smart set, and although his suspenders do not show when he is fully attired, we think it well to get ahead of the daily press and publish any important news of this nature that comes in our way. L*! week there was a wedding on Fifth Ave. and everybody wore clothes. Just what the clothes were and who owned them can be ascertained by studying the daily papers of the next morning. SSIE LISSIE KISSIE is engaged to P. Gutchings Whing, of Philadelphia. Mr, Whing’s grandmother was a Dormouse, and everybody in good society knows the Dormice are one of the very first families of Pennsylvania. Gen. Dormouse, it may be remembered, was drunk at the battle of Long Island, and didn’t get his troops up in time. T was a very select little dinner that Mrs. Tallyho Van Shekel gave to a few friends last Thursday. Everything was expensive, and although the conversation was rather flat all through the dinner, everybody was exquisitely dressed and it passed off unusually well. Mrs. Taliyho Van Shekel is extremely careful in choosing her associates. Her ancestors have owned property on this island for several generations, and none of them have ever been in state's prison, or, in fact, distinguished themselves in any other way.
