Everything * At the Palais Royal. Let a woman be divested of every stitch of clothing, and in less than half an hour she shall be able to leave the store attired in a new, fashionable and per- fect fitting costume, com- piete in every detail. In proof of this statement let us experiment. Doesn't matter whether the subject be tull or sbort, stout or thin. Here is cue: “Step into this room, madame, and an experienced snaid will help you disrobe. New Underwear, Stockings and Garters will be forthcoming in a few moments and the Corsets to best sult your form.""... “And here are Shoes that will enable you to walk ‘with comfort from tae first moment of wearing.” And now for the Dress that shell look as » and fit as weil as if the materials were selected Aiter long deliberation and made up afier many triels and tribulativus. What think you of twig costume, made of English Covert Cloth? It ts ue of the new sample dresses und thouzh offered at $0.98 the actual worth i $30—as you will ud- ferve. Let us try it on. ‘The mirrors are ar- Tanged so you may see the ‘it of the back. Al- Bost a perfect St. We'll ring for our Mrs. Hayes and she will have that slight alteration completed 4m a few minutes. In the meanwhile we will send down stairs for the collar, cuffs and the silk neck piece. The meck wear and the dress azrive almost at the same moment, all are soon adjusted and we step out of the room ready to visit the wrap aod millinery parlors. Wraps here fm multitude to bewtider. Prices $3.50 to $75, but time is Hmited and you must allow the clever assistant to fit you with the garment she thinks most becoming. That's done very quickly. Before selecting the new hat let us visit Miss Wiles in the hairdressing parlor. Nimble fingers and s knowledge of bow the hair is worn with the new spring bonnets soon eaable us to go to the Mil- Mery parlor. Yes, sll the spring headwear is Bere, though the formal opening has not yet Leen advertised. Of course if this was not @ time test you would probably spend a half hour here, but this clever girl knows what becomes you better than you know yourself. The bat is chosen, tried on and found most beccming. Down stairs for the Veil, Parasol and Gloves. This veil pre- terds to bide, but best reveals your face—a par- donable deception. To choose a parasol to be a fitting background to the hat is an easy task with such @ gathering as here. And now for the Gloves. Of course White Kid with black em- Droidery and buttons. Here they are. Fitted to your hands in less than three minutes. Now, madame, you can walk out of the Palais Royal one of the most fasbionably and tastefully @ressed women in Washington—and you were naked a half hour ago. Another View. Let us learn the least possible cost of a complete spring costume that shall be of good quality mate- rials and very latest style. Of course, the uninformed visitor would not be enabled to visit the Pulais Royal and unerringly Pick out the bargains that dot the store unless aided by the knowledge of one who knows. But We are writing of the possibilities. ‘The following are now in stock on third floor: Undergarments at less than cost of materials.

Corsets at 68¢ Instead of $i a pair. ‘That dresses worth up to $35 are offered at $9.98 is because the manufacturers at first make many sumples requiring too much material and time to produce at popular prices and they are therefore rejected for those where material and time is saved. A new supply of these rejected samples have been secured so that tomorrow we 1a actually fit you with the very latest spring Style cloth costumes worth up to $35 for only 69.98, Perhaps the best bargains in the Wrap Depart- ment are the Cloth Cupes in brown, navy and Diack, trinvned with Point Venice lace—$2.98 for garments positively worth $5. Ou second floor are hundreds of New Hats that may be informally louked at tomorrow. At $4.50 Sre beauties that would be judged worth $7.50 at the millinery stores.

Bcd NaTIONAL HOTEL DRUG SIULE, Ceeeeere ee eenees eeeeeees shoe. can live comfortably | IN| THE SOCIAL WORLD The First Drive in the White Lot a Great Success. They Will Be a Popular Feature of Society Life This Spring— jotes of Interest. —— Vanity Fair may console itself with the thought that a Washington Rotten Row has been established almost under the shadow of the White House, in the precincts dear to the hearts of all old-timers—the White Lot. But for the sake of those who do not think it patriotic or wise to so closely copy old world institutions—and it is surprising how very large this class is in society and out of it—if these drives are to be popular in the best sense, they must be talked about by some other name. Mrs. Cleveland, who, it was sald, approves of the idea of these Tuesday and Thursday airings of society, did not participate yesterday, although the President and she, returning from their usual country drive about 5:30, met the cavalcade of fine turnouts on Connecticut avenue. Neither were any of the cabinet families in evidence, although some of the ladies have expressed their approval most enthusiastically, while some others laugh when the project is mentioned. But for those who did participate the oc- casion was one of satisfactory experience. The day was perfect, although the road was a little dusty. This latter condition was | not improved either by the presence on | the circular drive of several men, who, mis- taking the purpose of the gathering, spent the hour from 4 to 5 speeding their fast horse flesh. Public sentiment must be edu- cated in this particul: as well as in the fact that furniture vans, grocery wagons, push carts, sulkies, &c., have no place among the ordinary conveyances of pleasure driv- ing The project of re-establishing the drive is credited this time to members of the diplomatic corps. The corps was well rep- resented. Precisely at 4, with that abso- lute faithfulness to punctuality, indicative of all their social doings, the Chinese legation landau made a circuit of the drive. The minister and three members of his lega- tion enjoyed the occasion. After them came Baron von Ketteler, mounted. Un- consciously he gave the best imitations of the real Rotten Row that occurred during the hour. When he met ladies of his ac- quaintance, and he seemed to meet them very frequetniy, he galloped alongside their carriage to have a chat. The French ambassador looking radiant, bowing and smiling to his acquaintances, with Mr. Ben- jamin Constant, rode together in a victoria, Miss Pauncefote drove her own cart, and Mr. Souza Rosa drove his high cart. Among others who took part in the pa- rade were Miss Leiter, who looked very handsome in a large stylish hat .n her victoria; the Misses Patten, in their brougham; Miss Josephine Pat- ten, driving her own team; Mrs. Marion McKay, who drove her phaeton, with Mr. Woodbury Blair seated beside her; Mrs. Slater, who drove a similar team; Miss Hattie Blaine, Mr. Bugher, who was much observed in his tall, white cart; Mrs. Har- riet Lane Johnston,Justice and Mrs. Brown, Mrs. L. B. Webb, Mrs. William E. Curtis, Mrs. George Bloomer, Mrs. and the Misses Wheeler, Mrs. Belknap, Mrs. and the Misses Huyck, Mrs. L. P. Blackburn, Mrs. Zane, Mrs. Guzman and Miss Horstman, Mrs. Whitehead and Miss Christopher, Mrs. C. Cc. Glover, Mrs. and Miss Steele, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss May Williams, Mrs. Harmer-Reeside and Capt. Garcia. A good many more than these enjoyed the drive and their presence added another keen note of joy to the real participants. There were people strolling around between the bushes, utterly regardless of the signs, “Keep off the grass,” because there was not any turf to spoil, and they knew it, and a great many more contentedly seated around the stone coring of the fence in- closing the White House garden watched, commented and had as thoroughly a good time us those who passed them by in the Most stylish equipages. ‘The commissioner of the land office and Mrs. Silas C. Lamoreux entertained a com- pany of about fifty at a handsome reception last nigh® at the Buckingham, to meet their friends, Mr. and Mrs. 8. } . bell and Mrs. E. C. Wall of Wisconsin. The double parlors were most elaborately decorated with palms and quantities of fine roses, each room in a different color. In the dining room the refreshment table | had a centerpiece of white roses, studding | a bed of ferns. A mandolin orchestra play- _ed throughout the reception. Mrs. Lamoreux wore a superb gown of black velvet, Mrs. Wall was in black net and lace, and Mrs. Campbell was in black and gold brocaded satin. Miss Thom: and Mrs. Hazeltine also assisted in receiv- ing in the dining room; Mrs. F. Wetmore, who was elegantly gowned in heliotrope silk and chiffon, did the honors, assisted : Mrs, F. Hewitt, who wore white silk and | lace.
