THE EMBARRASSED SOCIETY REPORTER. "I say!" said the reporter, "I don't know whether this is right." "Don't know whether what is right?" demanded the city editor. " This wedding. I went there to-night, and they gave me a heap of rot about their frocks, but I don't know whether it comes out btraight or not. Now, here is Mrs ; I've got her in a pannier silk, trimmed a fagvos grain, with black point lace underskirt and box-plaited hair. Does that sonnd natural ?" " Who sent you to a wedding ?" asked the city editor contemptuously. "Don't you know that gros grain is a color ? That was a gros grain, box-plaited diess, trimmed a la black point lace, and her hair was combed en pannier. You ought to know better than to get things mixed that way. Who else did you get? How was the bridedressed?" "I've got hor all right," replied the West End reporter. She wore a white Boi'ffant, with a Princess of Thule veil ; the outskirt cut ckwllette around the bottom, and trimmed with a barque at the sides." "How AVas her hair?" "Her hair was shirred," replied the West End reporter. " Shirred at the sides and corsaged on top." "I don't believe that's right," observed the city editor. "Read that again." "It whs corsaged at the sides and shirred on top," said the West End reporter, referring to his notes. "Of course," smiled tbe city editor. "It makes all the difference in the world. You never saw a woman with her hair corsaged on top in your life.' — Louisville Coiine>"Jo)irn(it.
