DESIGNED WOMEN WHO STUDY PHYSICAL CULTURE Its Good Effects in Their Improved Figures. Show —__+—__ PONGEE FOR SUMMER WEAR Bpecial Correspendence of The PARIS, May 10, 1897. | The Parisenne rarely confines herself to the strictiy tailor-made costu it does not suit her petite figure, which requires Bome trimming—something more to set off her individuality—than the severe lines of | the English tailor-made gown. Our de- | sign above shows our conception of a mod- | Ified tailor-made tollet. It is to be made | of silver gray cashmere. The skirt shows | a mew departure in the shape of a slightly draped front gore—cashmere lending itself admirably to drapertes—while the sides fit closely and the back is gathered in deep folds. The cashmere, of course, is cut as a drop skirt over a foundation skirt of sil- ver gray taffeta. The loose blouse bodi 1s gathered in at the waist by a novel- | pointed girdle of darker gray silk, closing at one side, and opens in front over a very narrow white silk vest, draped by a fall | of real lace, which issues from a large white silk ribbon bow at the throat. The tight sleeve is surmounted by a full shoul- der puff, and has a flounce of lace at the waist. A graceful trimming consists of rows of narrow red, gold, silver and green braid edging the skirt and sleeves and forming a clover-leaf pattern on the zouave jacket and big, flaring collar. The return of the tailor-made suit and the rage for the bicycle has ignited new ambitions in the hearts of female fashion- ables throughout the continent. Delighted with the freedom and the invigorating ex- ercise which the wheel has given her, she aims at further development through udying physical culture made popular by Delsarte” as the aesthetic division of complete educational gymnastics com- prised in the Swedish system. Francois Delsarte created his famous philosophy of expression through the instrument of the human body, while Peter Lingg aimed to benefit and develop not merely the muscles but even the vital organs through his sys- tem of scientific kinesiology. Good Effects of Exercise. We note with pleasure the changes brought about by such exercises; they ex- pand the chest and diminish the waist, and give a graceful and erect carriage to the body. We costumers are often accused of distorting the female figure. In our de- fense be it said that we enjoy nothing bet- ter than to fit our creations over a figure which has attained such natural perfec- tions, and we consider that our gowns are | never displayed to better advantage than on a woman who takes sufficient 1aterest in a graceful poise and artistic motions to overcome inherent vacity and life into he Bernhardt is the great strator of these princ 3 2 pression through a perfectly traized body. i she never lifts an eyclid without ic reason. : women can dispense with corsets, for with a close-fitting bodice, a corset is @ necessity, but it should be made to fit the body, and should be of firm yet plavle materials. The time is fortunately when the body of the elegante was pr. into iron vises, as she stood with arms up- lifted high above her head, to narrow the muscles, while she wa maid. Was it astonishing cumstances that our great-grandmothers fainted at the slightest exerii and that following generations have had to suffer indolence and put vi- poses. 1 Madame TOILETTE, in empire style of pongee, very finely knife- pleated and falling loosely from the throat to considerably below the waist line. As this does not necessitate a lining, it will be found particularly comfortable for warm weather wear. Five rows of Valenciennes lace edge the jacket and is sewn on to simulate a zouave jacket. The close-fitting sleeve is encircleé by rows of the inser- tior, and has pleated flounce of pongee with lace insertions at the wrist and two large flounces to match at the shoulder. The standing collar decorated with inser- Cae added to by a full pongee ruff at the back. Trimmings and Ornaments. The vogue at present is essential for a great many trimmings and ornaments. Even the trimmings themselves are trim- med. This is a favorite fashion at present. For instance, the ribbon of sashes is bor- dered with a tiny ruffle of mousseline de soie with a very soft and thin silk fringe, or by a small ruching of gauze of the same shade as the ribbon. These trimmed sashes form a very prety accessory to the sum- mer gown of wash fabric. Bias folds and rosettes are revived. A handsome gown of ecru Henrietta cloth has the front of the plain narrow skirt, between the lower edge and the knees, adorned with folds of green velvet running horizontally and finished at both ends by choux of the same material. The close- | fitting bodice of ecru and green changeable taffeta is entirely covered with handsome ecru lace of a large coarse pattern and has three rows of bias folds over thé bust and chest, each row likewise finished on the tefl side by green velvet choux, graduating in size, the largest almost reaching the shoulder. The high flaring collar of taffeta covered with lace is filled out by a full Pleating of cream-colored mousseline de soie, and the sleeves, which are close fit- ting from wrist to elbow and qulte full over the upper arm, consist of crinkled cream- colored mousseline de soie over ecru taf- feta, and are finished off at the wrist by a full pleated flounce. The large hat worn with this costume is of brown fancy straw, trimmed with a number of shaded ecru Ups and am aigrette of curled cream-col- ored paradise feathers. Below the brim and resting on the hair is a bunch of pink roses and foliage. (E. FELIX, Paris.) The Draperies of Summer. From the Upholsterer. With the approach of summer the public naturally turns its attention to its sum- mer home, cool piazzas, airy furnishings and all that sort of thing, and the perplex- ing question has always been how to employ the least possible amount of furniture end draperies in a room, and yet have it re- tain a furnished and attractive appear- ance. One may get along very well with a few chairs and a few knick-knacks, but nothing gives such a furnished appearance to a room as a few bits of drapery. Many people discard all this sort of thing entirely in the hot weather, believing that draperies make the room hot and stuffy. Well, of course they do unless you employ j the right kind, but a little bit’of light, loosely woven material draped very high and drawn closely back from the window enhances wonderfully the appearance of and practically excludes none of air. The plain colorings for curtains and por- tleres have been very popular of late, due largely to the fact that the wall coverings which have found the most favor are those which are displayed in great bold patterns and bril course, has necessitated the use of plain drapery stuffs and furniture coverings to give the proper harmony of contrast. eee A Fault That Ought to Be Stopped. ‘What's extravagance, Eddy?” ing you want to get, just getting something -you don’t want, that somebody else wants you to get. eT Loss and Gain. “I sorrowed that the golden day was dead, Its light no more the country-side adorning; But, whilst I grieved, belold! the east grew red With morning. emierecoasia ion I sighed that merry spricg was forced to a aeenes — Lees Jnat the c'irse hee | "aun dell the wreath that Sot of well beotme: hac, been removed, and the woman of today is | pat, willst 1 muramenat her absence, lo! healthy and wholesome, and breathes eas- . ily in low corsets, which give to the lungs and diaphragm. Made for Comfort. All underwear also 's made with a view to comfort, as well as beauty, and the dainty lingerie of today compares favor- ably with the heavy clumsy linen garments which were formerly worn. Fine woolens, silks and lace are the materials employed. Many women hesitate to buy or make ep silk underclothes, on account of the ex- pense involved, but if one considers that ® good silk or pongee set of underwear will outlast two cotton ones, and besides needs less trimming, and is more easily laundered, it will be found that the differ- ence in cost is but small. Pongee, once $0 povular for summer gowns, is particu- lurly adapied for cool and pretty summer lingerie, lounging robes and neglige jack- ets.

There are other vegetables that make almost as bad an odor, and some families eschew the whole lot rather than endure the acent. An old ccok says that you can have cab- bage and carrots, codfish and boiled corned beef and never know any of them are in the house if you just follow her directions. Put over the fire a pint of good vinegar, and wken it boils up, tumble two taole- spoonsfuls of sugar in it. Then set the can an the back of the stove, and tet the vinegar simmer as long a3 you are cooking the vegetables, and never a bit of odor can be cetected. When the vinegar boils low, put in water and let it simmer. It must be boiling well before you put the cabbage on to cook. x Sometimes a sentimental charm attaches to the photograph of the childno0d’s home, and it is often framed in gold and white enamel. A prettier idea 1s to secure from the old place a moss-covered board, and of this have the frame made by a cabinet or frame maker, putting a simple beading of white enamel next the photograph and a glass cver it. The housewife who makes large use of oranges will make no dietetic error. Next to the apple it is considered the best of all the fruits that are within the reacn of the multitude, being so cheap that they cost but ttle more than potatoes at some Seasons of the year. There are many charming desserts that can be made of oranges, but the very healthiest way to use them fs to free them of skin and white pith, remove the seeds and slice, putting over them fine granulated sugar. A de- licious crange beverage is made by using the juice of two lemons and the juice and pulp of half a dozen oranges, or in that Proportion to two quarts of water, with cracked {ce in it. Serve it swith a long- handled spoon in a tall glass. When sweet- ened to taste, for which you pass round sugar, it is delicicus and refresning. Limes may be substituted: for lemons. Here is a recipe for a delicious dish for dessert: A cup of ice cold cream, a cup of sugar, the grated rind and juice of one very large or two small lemons. Beat all together for three minutes, adding the cream last. Beat the whites of three eggs to aefroth, pour in half a cup 9f milk ard half a cup of water, heat and stir into it two tablespoonfuls of corn starch. When thoroughly cocked, stir into the lemon mix- ture, turn into a mold and place in the ice box to cool. Serve with cream. It is said that a rag soaked in a cayenne Pepper solution and stuffed in a rathole will set them all scampering off the place. Fly time, that horror of the housewife’s life, is almost here. One woman says that she has 1.0 trouble with them at all. She keeps in small deep dishes, like glass sauce dishes, a very strong decoction of green tea, well sweeten-d. These she has in the windows and several other places about her kitchen and dining room, and the fly that drinks it dies. They mostly drink, she says. If your eggs run out and you want frost- ing for a cake, stir into a cupful of frost- ing sugar just enough milk to make the stuff spread, beat it well, and then lay it on the cake. A dear old Quaker lady who was asked what gave her such a lovely complexion and what cosmetic she used replied sweet- ly: “I use for the lips, truth; for the yoice, prayer; for the eyes, pity; for the hands, charlly; for tne figure, uprightness, and for the heart, lov: Now there is a cos- metic box for you that is worth its welght in gold. Yet is costs nothing but a little self-denial. People who keep dogs in their rooms are bound to be troubled with fleas. A man who has tried it says very positively that a house can be rid of them after this fash- ion: Place on the floor at night a piece of sticky fly paper. In the center of it place a small piece of fresh teat. The odor of the meat wil! attract the fleas, and they get fast on the fly paper when they try to get to the meat. Don't borrow trouble! It never bridges the gulfs of ills, but does widen it. It has been said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. Tt was when to- morrow’s burden was added to that cf to- day that the weizht pezame insupportable. Often we say that we cannot help the wor- rying, though we know it cannoi help the case. It is the effort to “help” it that makes us sironger. It is wise to say, “I will overcome all difficulties if possible.” Having put forth one’s best effort it is folly to sit down and grieve. That loses to us strength to take up the burden again. The woman who worries is never welcome anywhere. She is a thorn in the flesh, a pin In the bodice, a tack in the shoe. She makes everybody else uncomfortable. Good society is that which is not personal in its talk, but which finds sufficient topic of interest to discuss without dilating on the sins of neighbors. ee YELLOW AND OLD BLUE. A Combination That Always Has a Pleasing Effect. From the Upholsterer, The term “‘old blue” as applied to chinas is made to cover a multitude of blues, all of which are effective in any way they are used, be it for table service or purely dec- orative purposes. Since Whistler showed its possibilities in his famous blue and yel- low breakfast room, the modern old blue, even in the cheapest makes of China and Japan, has found a new valuation in the eyes of appreciative decorators. Every va- riation of the shade is in itself a color motif, in harmony with which a room may become a veritable symphony in blue. The Delft craze has come and gone, prov- ing a mere whim of fancy, but ‘“willow- ware’’ blue and “pagoda” blue are, like the poor, always with us; yet they are by no means poor as art products, even though one can buy them as cheap as white porce- lain ware. It wa3 just this inexpensive Chinese blue that Whistier used on table, mantel and walls against his yellow back- grounds, even hanging little pots of it filled with ferns suspended by chains from the ceiling above the four corners of the table. Take the dining room of the average suburban home, for instance, and what a revelation of sweetness and light it may become through these simple mediums of yellow walls and blue willow. ware! I know one such dining room in a house having old-feshioned “ceiled” walls and wainscoting that was painted unmistaka- ble yellow. In one corner there was the triangular cupboard originally built into the house. Through the glass doors rows of willow ware plates could be seen and cups of the same hanging under the shelves on brass hooks. There was a window on the north side facing the river, with a low, broad window bench painted yellow and covered witha blue denim cushion. In the south side there was only a door, but the upper half was glass, letting in a flood of light and a view of woods and fields. Over this was a shelf called the “hospital,” on which were ranged a row of plates and the crack- ed teapots and pitchers that could turn a good side toward the world. In the center of the table stood a squatty jardiniere of yellow Leeds ware with grow- ing ferns and all the service was of the charmingly contrasted porcelain, on which quaint blue gentlemen helped quainter blue ladies over impossible rivers. * Besides these blues mentioned there is the “mulberry blue” and the deeply, dark- ly, beautifully blue Staffordshire ware on which famous castles are depicted, and the “railroad” plates, made at the same Eng- lsh pottery and showing the first train of cars. Some of the: “railroad” plates bring $150, while the “castle” plates are offered for $10, seeming to prove that the pottery makers, at lesst, rated locomotion above picturesqueness.| These plates are large and a single one shows handsomely as a plaque in an artistic hall. polishea An old blue bow! for cards on a mahogany or cherry hall table is also a most eye-pleasing combination of colors: ———_—+00- A Careful Boy.

FASHION’S FANCIES Parisian Wheelwomen Are Given Up to Kinckerbookers. « MORE POPULAR EVEN THAN OOMERS Some Novelties in French:Gowns and Millinery: paetta ak ey ” FORWARMER WEATHER Special Correspondence of The Evgning Star. : PARIS, May ¥5, 1897. AM! TEMPTED~ TO belléve that half the doctors of, Paris are ordering “bicy- clettes” for half the fat women ainong their patients. Now that the fine weather has come again, and the brilliant spring sunshine floods the long, straight ave- rues of the Bois and the Champs Elysees, filtering down through the green of the horsechestnuts and the magnificent plane trees, all the world is a-wheel, and most of the fem- inine world is enormously fleshy. The fem- inine world shows its ficsh to great disai+ vantage in “kinckerbookers” or even in “culottes,” the usual French v@riants upon’ the bloomer. model. The “*cingkerbookers’” system is “tres cavalier” rt tight breeches .fasten above the knee with a straight band, over which the loug golf stockings turn down. A young girl who was riding on-the Avenue de 1'Opera thts morning as nonchalantly as if it were not a babel of srapping whips and screaming drivers, rearing horses and top-heavy "buses, was in kinckerbookers of a light grayish blue, with not an inch of fullness to spare. Long pocket welts of white cloth bordered with black silk ran down the hips on either side. Her stockings weré checkerboards of black and light blue, and her cloge-fitting bodice, of the same ma- terlal as her kinckerbookers, had a white vest with black silk finishings under a bovero edged with @ broad triple band of black, white and black. Black and white cuffs and collar and a blue straw hat trim- med with white quills dipped in black at the top, gave the last touches to a costume sufficiently striking when worn, as this was, by a slim, straight, handsome girl, but more outre than agreeable when but slightly masking 200 to 250 pounds of quite too solid flesh. Three heavy women in bright-colored kinckerbookers, _ trundling treir bicycles side by side in the Bois, make one feel as if the fat women of a dime show had got out of their cages and were. fleeing across the border, Akin to Bloomers, “Culottes” differ not at all-from.bloom- ers as worn in America. ‘They are longer or shorter, fuller or less full, as fancy dic- tates, but are usually of neutral calors, re- leved by a bright belt or-gay ribbon, and are coupled with & blouse and jacket,’ # flat hat and high, dark stockings. By one of those little ironies of fate frgm which French taste has been supposed to offer some considerable protection, thé fleshiest wemen seem driven by Nemesis into knick- erbockers, while the middle-sized women wear culottes, and the smallest women, whose figures would stand anything, are about the only ones who weaffi skixts,- which are not yet very ustal in this, of the world, The same fatali es the knickerbockers the loudest in color amd the skirts the darkest and most all the bicyclette suits worn; 80 t !while’.the ost suitable and becoming’ costumes in existence are to be seen in, those are not the ones you look at ag Ig." It is the fashion in Paris.at ‘Sreeent to keep early hours. What ts-called a mati- nee begins at about half past 2 in. the after- noon. it may differ from a tea in nothing but name, but on the other hand: your card is very apt to say “dancing,” in which cese you are expected to wear full even- ing dress—low neck, light colors, flowers and jewels. Some balls have been given lately at which dancing at 7 ipper was served at 0:30; k ee are the fad of certain ly sym- pathetic ladies, at which ing the bare shoulders. The bretelles caught ulso wing-like sleeves of white tulle, which were fastet.ed behind the arms, these not being thrust through them. Below the cuirass the blouse was full and baggy, but the filminess of its material prevented any look of clumsiness. A gold belt fastened the waist and gold bands were worn in the hair. Another effective dress appeared in one of the- boxes at the opera house last even- ing. It was of white satin covered with a robe of black tulle richly and daringly em- broidered with great flowers and: fans in black with here and there a touch of green. About the bottom of the sRirt was a wide and heavy ruche of black tuile flower: wired to make a thick garland. The close- fitting bodice was covered with the same embroidered tulle, with tulle flowers upon the shoulders. The decolletage was draped with white gauze. Long black gloves came up to the shoulders. A belt of crimson velvet and an armful of crimson roses added to the striking effect of this combi- nation. The general appearance of the opera house is not so brilliant as in New York, owing to the dead black of the orchestra, which {is given up almost wholly to men, altnough the rule forbidding the admission of women to this part of the hou: has been repealed. On the other hand, there are quite as many handsome costumes worn, since nearly all the ladies who attend, even those sitting in the highest galleries, wear evening dress and are bareheaded. Hats are prohibited in the orchestra. It is hard- er to banish them from the theaters,though a vigorous campaign is in progress. In spite of this, theater hats continue to be the most elaborate shown by the milliners. Theater Hats. Out of two or three I came across this morning one very small chapeau was a flat Watteau of green and white tulle, with a half wreath of Bengal roses rising at one side. Another was composed of nothing but a wreath of geranium flowers of dif- ferent colors, veiled Nghtly with black tulle. A third was a bandeau of rose-col- ored satin set with brilliants and with four little mercury wings in front. Another very tiny capote is of gold filigree and pearls with three arms of a cross rising over it in diamond-shaped bits of wired black gauze, sprinkled with brilliants. A larger hat of pink straw has an undulat- ing brim and is trimmed with large double tea roses veiled with pink gauze. At one side rises an aigrette of white feathers. ~Perhaps be-ause it has no superfiuity of them Paris is tender to its children, and one of the prettiest sights of the city is the straggling line of picturesque mites who dig with shovei and pail along the Champs Elysees and in the Bois, where a New York park poiiceman would be after them four times a minute to keep off the grass and to give over the making of sandpies. A small girl with whom I have made ac- quaintance lately wears a plaid frock cf blue and white checked cambric resembling taffetas. Her short wide skirt is edged with. two wide flounces of white embroid- ery. A band of insertion of the same pat- tern. makes her belt and another cutlines the yoke of her loose blouse-like bodice. Her turn-over collar is of white embroid- ery, a strip of which runs from neck to waist, hiding her buttons. She has rather tight sleeves with little capes on the shoulders, and she wears a flat hat of dak blue straw trimmed with white ribbons. A chil@~with whom she plays wears a straight loose frock of straw-colored can- vas embroidered in white up and down the skirt seams and about the bottom. A pig lace collar comes up to her ears and falis lke a cape over her shoulders. Her broad pink straw hat has a pink scarf thrown across its crown, tying bonnetlike under the chin. For Warmer Weather. Dresses for the warmer weather that is coming multiply every day. On the Au- treull race course- one particularly sunny day this week I noticed a costume of pale yellow lawn over a separate skirt of white silk. The skirt, which was rounded at the bottom, was covered from waist to hem with five deep, full flounces, each one edged at the bottom with a-narrow black velvet ribbon. The bodice was a blouse of white mousseline de soie, with a bolero of lawn ‘edged with velvet. There was a broad black velvet belt and a yelldw straw hat trimmed with daisies and white wings. A promenade costume displayed at one of the shops is of olive green taffetas, with blouse embroidered all over with intricate arabesques in black. This network of em- broidery is carried down upon the skirt, which also is covered closely for about one- third of its length all around, giving the effect of a short overdress. ‘There is a black belt and a large black hat covered with red poppies, More novel perhaps is a blue taffetas pleated all dress, the skirt of which fs sun bodice is a white lace blouse with a bolero of the taffetas finished with the same embroidery. The hat is of white lace with black lace fans. ELLEN OSBORN. EDUCATIONAL. IN WASHINGTON. MISS BALLARD OF. THE. PEARODY CONSERVA- tory of Music, pupil of Prof. Wad, solicits cor- in.
