The customer's creation now blossoms forth as new and varied and lovely as the spring flowers with which Paris is deco- rated. ‘The interested observer of fashions will Pay particular attention to the skirt and sleeves and will find that both have un- j Gergone a radical though gradual change since last year. So many changes have been made in puffed sleeves that no combination has been left untried, and dressmakers’ and tailors must perforce have recourse to the only mode that offers novelty, name- ly, the tight-fitting sleeve.

When she tried it on befere the mirror, she con- templated it carefully in order to get used to the bunches and loops of velvet, which formed the small epaulette of an otherwise smooth arm and looked like the dandelion stems which children split and soak in Water until they turn back in tight little curls all around the stem.

Fér1x, Paris.) UP-TO-DATE WOMEN Capes, Jackets and Jacket Wraps for Early Spring Wear. and Becoming at the Throat, Your New Cape Can Be Made of Any Rich Fabric. By<ciai Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 17, 1898. March has worn so gentle an aspect that it behooves one to give the subject of lighter outer garments a thought as soon as possible. As in the past, many women will wear spring jackets, and one occasionally sees tailor-made suits with Keng redingotes, following the princess ef- fects so universally worn. But the dainti- @st and most dressy wraps are always in the form of glorified capes and mantles. The object of most of these is only to pro- tect the shoulders and give a sumptuous effect to a gown, for they are light and would not do in a “cauld blast.” 7 There are, of course, some capes meant for service, the very newest being of cloth, quite full and reaching a little below the Waist, with three very short capes and a high collar. These capes are generally of Ught cloth, tailor made, and piped with satin or cord of some contrasting olor. | But the elaborate.cape, the one which will be seen as scon as the weather is set- tled, ts rather short, and often of the gay- est silk or satin, covered with ruffles of Diack chiffon edged with a full ruching. An accordian-plaited satin, with plaited ruilles of chiffon. However the ruffles are made or of whatever material, there must be a high ruching or ruffie coming up about the throat, and nearly every “a | or mantle has a ribbon at the throat, os- = to be tied, but they are generally ing loose or knotted. mantles, which are the smartest Wraps worn, remind one very much of the ig stoles in fur which a few women of tune ipvested in last winter. They are | meri? very short in the back, some- only extending as far down as the blades. And the long ends in are of various shapes. The sim- plest mantles are made of black silk, either taffeta or the richer, softer weaves, and are edged with lace or plaited chiffon or silk. Many have heavy lace or cord appliqued upon them in different patterns. The long narrow ends are very graceful, indeed, and the igh collar, finished with either @ bow of the material, a long tie of heavy ribbon or a white tie of mull, liberty silk or “2, are extremely becoming. All of them have an edging or plaiting of lace or silk, from three to six inches wide, thus taking away from the stiffness of the ma- terial. A Mantle of Beauty. One beautiful cape or mantle of striped silk, either black and white or a gayer effect, if one wishes, has a yoke overlaid with decp lace, and is finished in the neck with a ruching of liberty silk or mous- seline de soie; below the yoke is a bias ruffle of the striped silk; this is also edged With ‘liberty silk or thousseline de sole, and there are two epaulettes of Mberty silk. A large bow of the striped silk, with ends hanging quite to the knees, complete the wrap. ¥!

Whilé the United States government dfe- tary experts are busy with their scientitio investigations relative to errors in our food economy as a’people, it is a source of grat- ification to the woman of limited exchequer, but boundless aspirations for her family’s best welfare, to be told that if she sticks to coéfish and potatoes she is all right. Cod- fish and potatoes, according to Prof. W. A. Atwater, in a recent talk before the House- hold Economic Association, are an almost Perfect balance food, and while our New England forefathers doubtless first adopted the combination because it was economical, that reason alone is not sufficient to ex- plain its continuance es a staple article of diet.

This article, thereforezds given you in a concise way in order to #i:peijse with circumlocu- cution and to show only facts. The Parisian hat maker always prepares the spring styles,a considerable-period in advance of the season, and although, of course, our home miljliners make many additions and changes, yet the general styles as predicied by“ the Parisian milii- ners are, as a rule, found to pervade al- most every hat made here. Last autumn undoubtedly the most fash- fonable hat was the “Victoria flare.” This season It will be found that “La Bergere” —the shepherdess—will be the form most in use by those who can wear It. In fact, Madame Camille Roger of Paris, in a personal conversation, said: “Go back one hundred and fifty years, and you will find the then fashionable shape, “La Ber- gere,”’ tu be the fashionable one for this spring. Of course, while this style will be appar. ent, there are many others like the “mush. room” shape, and the “drooping brims” of yellow and white Mlacs.

Probably the youngest grandmother of whom we have record was a Lady Child of Shropshire, England. She had married at twelve years of age and had a child be- fore her thirteenth year was completed. This child, in turn, married while still very young, with the result that Lady Child was @ grandmother at twenty-seven. The most extraordinary cases of moiherhood were th of Mrs. Honeywood of Charing, in Kent, and Lady Temple of Stow. When the former died, on May 10, 1620, aged nirety-three, she counted as her descend- ants 16 children, 114 grandchildren, 225 great-grandchiidren and great-great-grand- children. The other case was even more remarkable. Lady Temple, who died in 1656, had given Birth to 4 sons and ¥ daughters, and lived to see more than 700 descendants, 5 | ible food is the result. While this dietary practice has doubtless been largely instinct- ive, the people of New England struck a fundamental fact whose fitness is evidenced by the physical and mental vigor of a peo- ple largely nourished upon this food. Al- though our forefathers’ “Cape Cod tur- key” is sometimes regarded outside that charmed circle as an essentially plebelan dish, it is not so considered by our English cousins, because, perchance, it is less abundant there, and, consequently, higher priced. In the preparation of codfish for the ta- ble science has come to the aid of the housewife, and all the disagreeable part that formerly antedated its appearance upon the table has been done away with. In piace of buying a whole submarine mon- ster, with all his bony structure in evi- dence, and “picking” him up piecemeal to soak over night, and fill the house with an odor not suggestive of frankincense or myrrh, the shredded fish may be procured now, prepared by machinery, absolutely clean, with all waste material eliminated, end packed in small boxes, ready for use at @ moment's notice. But here, as’in other food Ladd onraana® 3 there are degrees of dif- ference. Some of the brands in the market are ealty and wiry, and others lack the genuiné codfish flavor. While there are multitudinous ways of cooking codfish, the most popular probebly always the codfish ball, “for which Boston is so justly celebrated in song and story.

Yellow will be the prominent color of the season. It is not our object to go into a lengthy article on the subject.

From the Boston Herald. ‘The rainy day skirt has been accorded a lcrdly salute, and -by one of Boston’s most dignified and best-known citizens. Early the last week, when the rain had been falling for over twenty-four hours, and the streets and crosswalks were in such @ shape as to well nigh ruin an ordi- nary drese skirt unless the wearer held it up nearly to the knees, one of Boston’s well-known women, dreesed in a neat and well-fitting rainy day ccetume, was réturn- ing from the Old Colony station, after bid- @ing good-bye to a friend.

MIXTORES OF HISTORY AND FICTION Pointed Stomachers Above Lithe and Clinging Draperies. SKIRTS AND OVERSKIRTS (Copyright, °888, by Bacheller Syndicate.), Special Correspendence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 18, 1898. HERE ARE BEAU- I tiful things offered for women’s wear this spring, but along with them are night- \\ mare exaggerations i worked out, appar- F ently, by some de- signer suffering from a heavy meal of his. tory followed by a dessert of sensation- al fiction. The sum- mer girl, according to - this idea, is to be Queen Elizabeth as far as the waist; she is to be the serpent woman of sulphur novels from the waist down. The plastron is the strong point of the Elizabethan share of this crazy patchwork. The essence of the plastron is stiffness. The softest, most “clinging” stuffs are those through which the sinuosjty of the rest of the figure is expressed. The re- sult in some instances suggests a chimera with the top of a man in armor and a snake's tail. Both ends of this combination are studied out in fine material. The,pointed stomach- er, which came into vogue under the pomaded, perfumed and painted Henry lil of France, and grew stiffer, more gayly colored and more brilliant with gold and Jewels until Ravillac stabbed Henry IV. was never richer or more dazzling in its ornamentation than it is permitted, even encouraged to be, at present. The die- away draperies of sentimental heroines or the “sheath-like” robes of the leopard and panther creatures of melodrama have never given a better chance for the display of “languorousness” or “litheness” than do some of the newest skirts, now dangled be- fore every-day, breakfast-at-eight human- ity. Means to the End. The way to look like the veiled, float- ing figure on the cover of a seaside shocker is to have your skirt lined with fine soft wool, instead of silk, and to swaddle and Swathe it so closely that you can’t step. It is necessary also to have your dress so long in front that you tumble over it and to leave a draggie-tail behind to twist it- self about your feet at every movement, as if you had put on by accident the gown of your taller sister. The serpent woman is apt to have red | hair, although she may be dark-skinne Her favorite color is gray-blue, contras' ing with a crimson or scarlet sash. he favorite color of the sentimental heroine is forget-me-not-blue. Because of these things it happens that the shops are fuil ef blue. No color but yellow, dear to many serpent women also, approaches it in popu- larity. 7 ‘The serpent woman likes glittering scales therefore the jetted and spangled nets and gauze which were declining in favor have been restored to prestige. Here is the common interest of the snake and the god- dess fortified behind damascened armor. The plastron lives by tinsel work and span- gles. A Bizarre Combination. The plastron flattens the front of the figure. It {s distinctly a northern or western fashion, just as the swathing draperies are eastern—Greek, Japanese, Hindu. With clirging roves the o1 give freedom to the upper part of figure. The woman of the w whatever her skirts, has alv red a high corset with a “bi incrusted with ornamentation. To have this fashion come back is usual; to com- bine scanty draperies with it is bizarre. Elizabeth wore a farthirgale with her stomacher. The-flaitenei front bodice Presupposes hoop skirt bustie or pan- niers. The tendercy of the moment is to throw aside the hip pads and bustles which have been in ise late but as prece- dent is never wholly disregarded, heay flat panniers are coming into vogue, thi nominal deference to cusiom not inter fering at all with the winding sheet idea. Modeled From a Picture. It is not to be supposed thet fluffy waists will go out immediately. Fortunately, | there is no longer the fashion; there are fashions. One design, which with indi- vidual modifications promises to be popu- lar, is a close copy of a Mary Queen of Scotts costume. In one of her best-known Pictures Mary Stuart is shown wearing a princess dress cpen cown the entire front and with a short train. The dress is of velvet and has tight sleeves with turned- back lace cuffs and a very little fullness at the shoulders, It fs worn over a bro- caded’underskirt and a pointed bodice, such as the shops are full of at the >res- ent time. With the exception of the small ruff and of the headdress, modern ele- gantes are followirg this model in de- tail. The underskirt is ruffted to the waist in some cases. In others the overdress —call it overskirt or redingote or princess— is made double, the cne skirt coming to the ground, the other stopping at three- quarters length, like a polonaise. In al- most every instance the underdress is of different material. ‘The Pointed Overskirt. Another idea which has a strong fol- lowing is to wear a pointed apron over- skirt, real or simulated, of the same ma- terial as the weist; the underskirt offer- ing a contrast. A French model, for ex- ample, has waist and overskirt of black lace over white silk, collar band, sleeves, sash and underskirt being of 4 new shade | eware of the rank of her vis’ | gingham to the hands of strangers You know what is in it.

Cleveland Baking Powder Co., of pink silk—a pink that has kept pany with cerise and salmon. Some of the more pronounced of the serpent drosses have shawl draperies. The hawls are wound about the figure, open- = behind. A costume more or less on this order is of fancy wool striped with raspberry red and gray. The skirt is quite full at the bottom, swirling about the feet. Above the knee it is tight, constricting. Over the plain waist is a shawl front which is carried around under the left arm. This drapery comes down upon the skirt in an apron shape and is fi a with ruffi Neither this nor any other serpent dress yet approaches the audacious creations Worn by the merveilleures, or fashionable Women of France, from 179% to 179), though these, imitated from the Greek, are the imitations we are imitating. The tight- fitting gowns of just a century ago were trade of the most diaphanous materials to display every line of the figure. The ser- pent gowns of this spring are confined so far to slik and wool. The mulls and or- gandies are built on somewhat more gener- ous proportions. Gown of Silk Foularda. One of the looser skirt models is em- ployed for the construction of a pretty silk foulard gown. The color is forget-me-not blue, figured with white. A full frill rises high on each side to show an accordion- pleated flounce. The frills are finished with ribbon ruches. The bodice, which has a lace vest, is tucked crosswise both back and front, and has a broad blue ribbon sash, which is knotted near the vest, caught in at the waist and hangs down the frcnt to the grou To wear with this dress is a forget-me-not hat, which shows more of the green foliage than of the flow- Ss and thick make great use s.

The sides of the basque are slashed, and under the slashings is run on each side the tnd of a sash, which haygs to ground. In- tead Of ignoring the sash, this “immature plastron doubles it.

The Qq rem Tit-Bits. The queen, like the rest of her subje has borrewed an old vmbreila in her time. Or one occasion, the story goes, she and the prince consort wand+red for some dis- tarce beyond the woods of Claremont, and were overtaken by a thunder storm. They teok shelter in the nearest cottage, and, seeing there was no likelihcod of the storm abating, the prince asked the old woman at the cottage if she would kindly them an umbrella. The old dame wa a rocted objection to trusting first declined altogether to lend it. Fi however, her objections were overcom Th> old woman followed her v down to the garden gate, reiterating mz times over that they were to be sure and let her have it back in an hour's time, or she Would let them know the consequences.

If the articles have been properly cooked and drained first on soft brown pa- per, the napkins will hardiy be greased at all; but they are intended to absorb any grease that may have been overlooked. The waitress also needs a supply of such napkins for the lifting of hot dishes.
