Areal genius in theart of dressing was the moving spirit molded into the gown moving down Broadway the other afternoon at sunset. Itis, you may believe, an achievement to create a costume which has not already been plagiarized from the pictures and poems of half a dozen past centuriea. This woman on Broad- way bas done it, however, and she was the most conspicuous figure on the block. In the first place the did not wear a velvet cape, a statement which alone would separate her from the vast majority of ber kind. In the next place the combinations of her colors were impressive ata time when the color sense has been well-nigh murdered by the union of blue and purple or brown and green and pink. In colorless type the description lacks force and apyears to repeat ancient conserv- sm in the blending of tints, and so it | does, as one ponders longer upon the sub- ject. It must, after all, have been the style and mannerim of the’ costume which made o passing hit, I will leave it to the imitation of other women and let them decide as to the piece de resist- ance. There was a straight, smooth, perfectly plain skirt of warm gray cheviot, shot with Vieux rose. The cloth of the costume matched the tints of the sunset, Almost to the foot of the skirt fell a long, close-titting, cloaklike overdrers of the same shot gray, confined to the figure only by a broad silver pasaementerie belt slipped through slits near the edge of the onen garment. It was lined with vieux rose silk a trite darker than the thread in the clot In exquisite contrast was the front of blak silk set beneath two rows of paesementerie to a a yoke of gray cloth. The long, Russian blow Like bodice was held at the waist by the belt after it slipped through the side slits of the coat. Black suede gloves covered the arm to the elbow, where moslerate gray sleeves termina‘ in a band of pas-ementerie, A tiny silver bonnet, pink tipped, was tied beneath the chin in a satisfied blak velvet bow, if it were aware that it triumphantly topped triumphant New York costume. — — THE LAWLESS HATS.

A chemise-like little slip, made very full and cut square at the neck so that it showschemisette like above the fastening of the bolero, will do very well. At the waist it can be wrapped tight ina bodice belt that comes up to where the bolero ends, and, of course, there are great sleeves. No one could want prettier dress. The suggestion of black and white need not be followed; brown and cream will do, or & bright green one is a safe investment, if you have a white and black dress or 80, and, perhaps, an organdie with a green figure.

Turning from house wear to outdoor gar- ments, I present a promenade coat of velvet. This elegant model has a vest of velvet trimmed with sable or mink fur. The latter continues around the collar and then down the inside of the coat, finishing in a point at the bottom. coat is edged down the front with lace and the over- Inpping side of the vest is trimmed in the same way.

The cape also has a bigh standing collar, and the seam where it is joined te the cape proper is hidden with a trimming of green and gray velvet ribbons, which form & rosette at the back. The belt around the waist, too, is made of these ribbons. The sleeves are of velvet, have but one seam and are tacked to the here and there to form tiny puffa, HEADDRESSES. Are we going to swallow the 1830 headdresses with the other modes of that period? Or rather are they going to swallow us. Are we willing to turn our back hair into the semblance of a can- non shooting off a rheaf of wheat or a horn of plenty in @ state of eruption? While things shoot out the back hall we balance matters by aneruption in the other direction that points heavenward at our brow? To sustain the weight of these two sheaves of wheat we will put a band about our head, above which the back explosion will take place, and which shall hold the front one steady. Below the band in front we will wave a couple of locks and part them at the brow and let them meander down over the ears and so under the band, without which our head would certainly fly to pieces, The back of our 1830 gown is cut straight across from || shoulder to shonider, showing the round of the two well over their slope to the arms. The epaulets are fall and join the edge turned back from the neck. Epnulets and edge, too, are fin- ished off with a castellated cutting, like the tops of old forts and castles, Another 1830 style will dictate that yon gather all the hair together except the front locks, which are to be tortured in another way, at the crown of the head, just where the head rounds toward the beck. You will wind its thickness around and around with a string and then hide the string by a metal band. length of the hair you will then irritate into a lot of quivering curls, which you will allow to riot v boil over the edge of the metal band. You mil further exaggerate thoir exuberance by sticking some very big ornamental pine through their masses and erecting about the top of the band a flaring fence of pearla, Now you comb down the front locks over the brow. You set another fence, very high, right on top of your head, like a crown. From under the edge of this fence the front locks come. They are parted at the middle of the forehead and then each is turned under in a sort of loop, the ends rexching over the car and waving off beautifully behind the ear and into # lovely lit- Ue crinkled lock down the chee! PURPLE AND FAWN. Au Imported Empire Gown Which May Be Worn on the Street, A determined effort on the part of metropoli- tan women banivhed the empire from the prome- nade early last winter. They continued it only in the drawing room, at teas, receptions and bails, But rarely bas it been upon the street, and then it hurried by as though it has gone abroad under misapprehension. As spring ad- vances, however, a modification of the undress gown affected by Josephine and her ladies is being successfully accepted for walking cos- tumes, This is usually a simulated double garment— that is, dress and wrap, separate and distinct creations. The under illusion, as such, is de- cidedly attractive, but efforts to bear it out in fact are failures,’ ‘Tbe empire wrap shifts and twists unless it is fastened securely to an un- dergarment, and in these methods of attach- ment the under dress is spoiled for separate wear.
